The duty of the UK king's guard is to protect the reigning monarch and the royal family. They are responsible for providing security at royal residences, marching in ceremonial events, and assisting with crowd control during public appearances. They are recognized for their iconic red tunics and bearskin hats, and their presence is a symbol of the monarchy's authority and tradition.

The Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace follows a traditional format that is the basis for guard changing ceremonies which take place at other Palaces and Royal Residences.

The Old Guard (the soldiers currently on duty) form up in front of the palace and are relieved by the New Guard which arrives from Wellington Barracks. The New Guard is accompanied by a Band. The ceremony represents a formal handover of responsibilities.

The Guard at Buckingham Palace is typically provided by one of the five Foot Guards Regiments of the Household Division, identified by the number of buttons on their distinctive tunics and the plume in their bearskin caps.

You will notice that soldiers of both the Old Guard and New Guard carry regimental flags. Known as Colours, these traditionally served as regimental emblems which provided rallying points in battle. Today, they carry regimental distinctions or battle honours emblazoned on them.

Please check the schedule tab for accurate dates of upcoming guard changes at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.



How to Watch

Changing of The King’s Guard takes place in front of Buckingham Palace at 10:45am and lasts for about 45 minutes. You should arrive early to get the best view. Soldiers gather at St James’s Palace and Wellington Barracks from 10:00am and march to Buckingham Palace accompanied by music. Please go to the 'schedule' tabs for Changing the Guard schedule.

Changing the Guard can sometimes be cancelled at very short notice, especially in wet weather and can be decided as late as 10:45am on the day.



Security

During ‘Changing The Guard’ ceremony, Police Officers are always present to ensure a safe and smooth event.

If you are coming to watch, please do take care of your personal possessions at all times. As with all crowded places, pickpockets have been known to operate in this area. Please report any suspicious behaviour to a Police Officer. For further advice, please visit:
