Changing of the Guard - The Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace follows a traditional format that is the basis for guard changing ceremonies which take place at other Palaces and Royal Residences.
The Old Guard (the soldiers currently on duty) form up in front of the palace and are relieved by the New Guard which arrives from Wellington Barracks. The New Guard is accompanied by a Band. The ceremony represents a formal handover of responsibilities.
You will notice that soldiers of both the Old Guard and the New Guard carry regimental flags. Known as Colours, these traditionally served as regimental emblems which provided rallying points in battle. Today, they carry regimental distinctions or battle honours emblazoned on them.
Changing of The King’s Guard takes place in front of Buckingham Palace at 10:45am and lasts for about 45 minutes.
Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday
Changing the Guard can sometimes be cancelled at very short notice, and can be decided as late as 10:45am on the day.
