You would have made some money off of Julie, Glenda and me 10 years ago. We Americans love European pomp and circumstance, as long as it stays on the other side of the Atlantic.
When Richard Nixon returned from a foreign trip and decided to dress up the White House guards in European style uniforms Americans thought it was so pretentious and un-American that they abandoned the new uniforms.
One last look at the Palace Guards as they hand over their duties. Then a quick turn and off they go to get into the white bus that awaits them.
I haven't even got round to seeing it yet - like the shots from today and yesterday...
ReplyDeleteI was always wondering where they are taken by that white bus... Home or for lunch??
ReplyDeleteBarbara from Germany
To the barracks I imagine.
ReplyDeleteExcellent series.

Would you also have a photo of the other side where the Prince's guards charge their electric Smart?
ReplyDeleteIt all looks a bit 'Disneyfied'...I'm used to the guards at Buckingham Palace in London. But I do like the tradition of it all.
