Changing of the Guard
Our London Walks tour guide, ever mindful of the time, walked us from Westminster Abbey through St. James Park to Buckingham Palace and just as we got close to the Mall, positioned us so that the Queen's Guard walked right past us with no other tourists around on their way to Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard. (Of course, at the Palace, every tourist in London appeared out of nowhere to catch a glimpse of the Change which takes place behind a gate).
Our position enabled me to snap several photos and this is one of my favorites. It turns out that the fanfare surround the band and troops is much more interesting than the actual changing of the guard - Helena told us as much and we can confirm it.
