The ceremony for changing the Windsor Guard is broadly the same as that which takes place at Buckingham Palace. At 10.40am, the New Guard marches from Victoria Barracks, through Windsor and turns onto Castle Hill into the quadrangle of the castle itself, where the Old Guard has formed. Once there, while the band plays and the Ensigns march the colours, the Captain of the Old Guard hands the keys to the Captain of the New Guard. The new sentries are posted, and any special orders given, before the Old Guard is marched back to barracks, and the New Guard takes over. This video shows the guards marching out after the guard change.

  • Realy fayik, I don't understand your surprise. As noskcajluap points out, it is a combination of their talent as musicians, their marching ability, and the tradition of the units. During times of uncertainty they also represent a stability and strength. Once thing is certain, their musicianship is always first-rate.

  • Good old Windsor ! Founded by Scandinavian Vikings ! or Normans (Nordmän)

  • A paraphrase: Peaceful men can only sleep secure in their beds at night knowing that somewhere violent men protect their right to do so.

  • Because its a glorious English Tradition, Top Class Marching and Expert Playing of the instruments so quit moaning and enjoy our Grand Heritage.
