Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guards !!!

In London, we went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards. The guards in England have a funny dance and outfits.

Their outfits have a very big fury hat with a colored pom-pom on it. The color of the pom-pom depends on their rank. The guards wore a red uniform that was a long sleeved shirt, pants with stripes of shiny gold fabric, a red and gold jacket, and the hat. They had gold decoration on their shoulders. I think the guards have an air conditioner in their hats or something cold because it was very warm out and they looked comfortable. I was hot.

In front of Buckingham Palace, there is a big statue of a person on a chariot in the middle of a roundabout. The roundabout is what the guards march around. The guards walk like a parade, there is a band, people with guns, people on horses, and people with nothing but their outfits.
Some of the guards are doing a dance, some are marching, some are playing instruments, or riding their horses. I think almost 1,050 people were watching the changing of the guards around the roundabout. The changing of the guards that we watched was in the morning at about 11:00. The guards have a huge ceremony because it is a way to check if some one is trying to get into the palace, because only the guards know the dance.

The changing of the guards at the Buckingham Palace was very amazing. I watched the changing of the guards from a wall across the street from the Buckingham Palace with my family. The ceremony looked funny and very hard to coordinate even from my seat on the wall.
