In Britain, it seems that as long as the words associated with "Royal" can attract people's attention. Whether we listen to fairy tales when we were young or take history lessons in school, "British Royal family" always makes people feel a sense of mystery, sometimes even "sacred feeling" and always arouses people's endless curiosity to study it, approach it and visit it. In London, although the chances of meeting "Queen", "Prince" and "Princess" on the street are not very high, people can come to take pictures whenever they meet the Royal Guard in the street, even if they only wear a big bear skin cap. In Britain, as one of the most important elements of British "Royal Culture", the Royal Guard's change-of-duty ceremony can't get through without punching cards. Although the change-of-duty ceremony may not be as grand as everyone imagines, it is much smaller than the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, but it is just to see. In order to find a good place to be present before 10:30, the best place is to stand on the left hand side of the iron fence near the west gate of Buckingham Palace. Not only can you see the whole horse team and guards coming and going out from afar, but also the whole job-changing ceremony inside Buckingham Palace. Go earlier, stand in a good position. A team of soldiers wearing bearskin caps, red velvet uniforms and black. Under the guidance of the drums and flutes band and the high horses of the Royal Cavalry Guard, the soldiers in coloured trousers stepped into the square with magnificent solemnity and momentum. This well-known Royal Guard, a "Guard Force" dedicated to the security of the British Royal family, especially the monarch, can be said that few troops like this army have maintained centuries of unchanged tradition, unchanged dress, unchanged etiquette, unchanged style, which is also a continuation of tradition. There's a message on the Internet - "The Ministry of Defense bought about 50 bearskin hats every year until 2010. The average amount spent on hats is 60,000 a year, half of which is for new ones and the rest for old ones. However, due to protests from animal protection organizations, Britain has decided to replace wild black bear skin hats with artificial fur starting in 2011.

    The best day for me to visit was on Sunday. Not a lot people there on the day, so it was not crowded. After a well planned trip to visit London this was one first stop

    Home to the British Royal Family, Buckingham Palace is free to visit although you can’t actually enter the building. However you can take a nice walk down the mall or the park to get there

    We took the small group tour in the state rooms with an amazing guide. The cost was 99 pounds per person and it was worth every penny. You get to see about 18 rooms of the palace with a knowledgeable tour guide/royal historian. Our guide explained the history of the rooms, furniture and art. Pictures and videos are strictly forbidden but it allows you to listen and fully absorb the experience. They include a really high quality book about pictures and explanations at the end of the tour for you

    First time ever visiting Buckingham Palace. We went on a Sunday and got to see the king being transported back from church. There were guards marching in the street. The monuments were great too.
