London - Buckingham Palace

One of the things at the top of my list to do this time in London was to be at Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guard. I figured there would be a crowd for this but I did not expect the large crowd that was in attendance.

According to the UK Royal website "Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837."
