4. The Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace follows a traditional format that is the basis for guard-changing ceremonies which take place at other Palaces and Royal Residences. The Old Guard (the soldiers currently on duty) form up in front of the palace and are relieved by the New Guard which arrives from Wellington Barracks. The New Guard is accompanied by a Band. The ceremony represents a formal handover of responsibilities. The Guard at Buckingham Palace is typically provided by one of the five Foot Guards Regiments of the Household Division, identified by the number of buttons on their distinctive tunics and the plume in their bearskin caps. *Please note that when there is no guard change at Buckingham Palace (currently takes place on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday). Your driver-guide will take you to see Horse Guards Parade instead.
