June 25, 2010 - Changing of the Guard

We had superb views of the Changing of the Guard from the Victoria Memorial. Afterwards we went to the Queen's Gallery to view the special exhibition of "Victoria & Albert - Art and Love". An absolutely amazing exhibit!









Here are some photos of the guards inside the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

After these photos you'll see a link to the Victoria & Albert: Art & Love exhibit at The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace.

As we walked over to The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace (on the spot where the private chapel was located until it was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II). This exhibit rivaled the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London!

And the restrooms at Buckingham Palace are unequaled in opulence anywhere in the world!

Afterwards we did some birding in Hyde Park (one of London's Royal Parks) which is a short walk from our hotel. We saw Great-necked Grebes, Great Tits, Stock Doves, Red-crested Pochards and, of course, Her Majesty's Swans.

And there's also one video of us riding atop the Open Air Sightseeing Bus (we rode today all over London atop the bus in the very front).
