The Changing of the Guard is a large formal ceremony in which a group of soldiers is relieved of their duties by a new batch of soldiers and are accompanied by marching bands and many, many onlookers.

Technically, the main ceremony takes place at Buckingham Palace, but this isn't really the best place to view it. Parts of the ceremony take place in 3 other locations near Buckingham Palace. And these are St. James's Palace, Clarence House, and Wellington Barracks.

And in this video, Sinead is going to show you the best way to witness as much of the process, pomp, and excitement as possible.
