Changing of the Guard
Changing of the Guard The changing of the guard was scary for some people. Because they came very close to you and they shouted a lot plus they had big sharp silver swords. There were horse guards to when they change they sometimes shout “make way for the guards” the foot guard guides the horse guards in then a new set of guards comes out. The new horse guards go into the boxes then the foot guard takes position.
