It's Back! Watch Changing The Guard Ceremony's Buckingham Palace Return

The Changing of the Guard ceremony has returned to Buckingham Palace for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards appeared alongside the Band of The Coldstream Guards in the ceremony.

Ceremonial duties at Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and the Tower of London will now take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
