Changing of the Guards
This is the sign that we saw in the grounds of Buckingham Palace the day before.
We were a little late in arriving to get a prime spot for the Changing of the Guards. There was already a mass crowd when we arrived at 10.30am. After doing a little research on the internet, I discovered that people start arriving early as 9.30am!
Here a pictures of what we managed to see.
