Blues & Royals - Some of the Queen's Guards
October 8th 2008 05:36
The famous Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard ceremony isn't the only place to see the Household Cavalry in their dazzling uniforms.
Two mounted guards can be seen posted at the entrance to Downing Street. It's also not unusual to see troops of cavalry moving around the Queen's neighbourhood, passing Hyde Park and parading around St James's Park..
With a few clues and a good memory, visitors can learn to identify the different regiments. The colours of the plumes, collars and tunics are all clues.
Blue tunic, red collar, red plumes - these are the Blues and Royals.
