I went to see the changing of the guards today, but instead of joining the masses in front of Buckingham Palace, I watched the inspection of the replacement regiment in front of Wellington Barracks (which I highly recommend for anyone planning to see this!) Standing here meant I could also watch the band warm up:
And, watch them march off towards the palace:
I didn't see the horse guard march, but I did visit the grounds where they stay, which also has a ceremonial guard:
I also checked out the flora & fauna in St. James' Park:
And headed back to Buckingham Palace once some of the crowd had dispersed:
My goodness, girl. You're really filling your last days with all the sights and sounds you can. Good for you. Another wonderful post.
