"They're Changing Guards at Buckingham Palace"

"They're Changing Guards at Buckingham Palace"
Postcard GB-450015 from U.K. was titled "They're changing guards at Buckingham Palace", which was the first line of a poem from Alan Alexander Milne(1882-1956)'s 1924 collection, "When We Were Very Young".  Nine-year-old actress Ann Stephens recorded the song during World War II.


The Guard at Buckingham Palace is called "the Queen’s Guard". It is divided into two detachments: the Buckingham Palace Detachment responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace, and the St. James’s Palace Detachment responsible for guarding St. James’s Palace. Changing the Guard is the process of a new guard exchanging duty with the old guard. During the August 2013, Changing the Guard will take place at Buckingham Palace on the even days (August 2, August 4, August 6, ... August 30).
