London - Horse Guards Parade

The crowd at the Horse Guards Parade was not as big as at the Buckingham Palace, and this time I arrived early. The horse guards were featured in Mr. Bean's series before, remember?

Poor guard, surrounded by soooo many people!


Cool eh?


Guards preparing to go off duty.


Out they came...




Turned towards the parade...


...and stood ina single file.

The crowd.


Here came the new batch of guards in red.


And they lined up opposite the old batch of guards in black.


Black vs. red.


Red.


Black.


The back.






The black team left.


Leaving behind some poo poo!








And the red team moved in.




Got off the horses.


And settled in.


And the red guards are on duty now.


Having some French kisses!


Me with the guard.




Nice uniform.


The helmet's covering the eyes.








Some close-ups.


Guards outside the parade, with crowds taking photos too.


Beware!
