Changing the Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace, London- 12th May 2009

Changing the Guard or Guard Mounting is the process involving a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard.
(1:20 - 1:45 -this video)
The Guard which mounts at Buckingham Palace is called The Queens Guard and is divided into two Detachments: the Buckingham Palace Detachment (which is responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace), and the St. Jamess Palace Detachment, (which guards St. Jamess Palace). These guard duties are normally provided by a battalion of the Household Division and occasionally by other infantry battalions or other units.

When Guardsmen are on duty, the soldiers are drawn from one of the five regiments of Foot Guards in the British Army: the Scots Guards, the Irish Guards, the Welsh Guards, the Grenadier Guards and the Coldstream Guards.
