Up until my first time seeing the Changing of
the Guard, I had so much misconception about the ceremony.
The event is on a very large scale. I had
formally pictured in my mind two Guardsman walking up to the two
Guardsman who were about to 'stand down' - and a ceremony regarding
the event would quickly (but solemnly) take place. Boy was I wrong!
It involves two different regimens coming from two opposite
directions!
You need to be in great physical
shape to follow this event to it's fullest.
