For 350 years, this ceremony has remained virtually unchanged. It takes place in front of the Royal Horse Guards, today the official entrance to Buckingham Palace, formerly the courtyard of the Royal Palace of Whitehall, the principal residence of English sovereigns between 1530 and 1698. The entrance porch of this 18th-century building is guarded by two mounted Royal Guards, who must neither smile nor address the public. Less popular and crowded than the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Impressionant
Les gardes font preuve d’une patience incroyable avec tous les touristes qui s’approchent un peu trop, et les chevaux restent d’un calme impressionnant. C’est vraiment à voir.

Cérémonie solennelle, où les chevaux sont d'un calme surprenant. Les gardes également car avec l'uniforme et le soleil il en faut du courage.

Un moment surprenant mais tellement londonien et vraiment sympa ! Les chevaux sont d'une patience incroyable, leur calme est encore plus stupéfiant que celui des gardes !

Moment solennel qui nous plait beaucoup à nous touristes. Quelle patience ! Comment font ces jeunes hommes pour supporter ces costumes et la chaleur qu'il fait...

Bâtiment superbe où se déroule la relève de la garde montée. La dernière fois que j'y suis allée, un garde a dû remettre à sa place un touriste qui était dans le chemin. Oui, ils sont stoïques mais point trop n'en faut. Respectez donc la solennité du moment. En dehors de la relève proprement dite, les chevaux et gardes sont approchables.
