Royal Changing of the Jacket

[c1cter]

why are these guards so short in size? they look like little kids waking around in the streets.

@c1cter

All guards have a MINIMUM height of 175cm, so they are not short in size. The Royal Danish Guards are placed into platoons after their heights. This is done to ensure that a guardsmen 175cm tall does not patrol next to a guardsmen 185cm tall :)

It's a old tradition, they check for persons so the guards aren't talking to anybody.

@Fourtysippa they are checking that there is 1 jacket and 1 thermo vest and a set of gloves, protection against rain and snow

if all the buttons are on the coat. otherwise the guard is responsible for it.

They are checking that all the equipment that has to be in there is there. :)

Sinna takt da. Så nesten litt teit ut. Og halten er ikke like kul som den norske
