Dana on Buckingham Gate...

...with the Queen Victoria Memorial behind her.

on Buckingham Gate

The Royal Marching Band passes the Queen Victoria Memorial...

...and proceeds up the Mall.

This is part of the Changing
of the Guard ceremony.

The ceremony happens daily
in the summer and every
other day in the winter.

The guards being replaced
march from Buckingham Palace
to St. James' Palace.

Beyond the other end of the lake is Buckingham Palace to the west.

Is this fellow the fattest

Horse Guards building,
just east of St. James' Park

This guard seems ready
to defend Dana's honour.

Two mounted Household Cavalry troopers are posted daily.

You know it, of course,
as Big Ben.

That nickname actually refers
to the largest bell in the tower,
not the tower itself.

The clock has been operating since 1859.

Heading north on Whitehall, we've got Nelson's Column
dead ahead.

Smooth.

Pretty deep for a neon sign
