In Canada, we celebrate the Queen's birthday with May 24 weekend. Here, they make a whole spectacle of it with a parade including drums, royals, guns, guards--the whole bit! After waiting for an hour or two, the parade finally started and I have to say was much more spectacular than the changing of the guard.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip

Drums!
Help me! Since the guards are not allowed to move at all, once and a while a senior guard will come along adjust their hat so they can see again, or fluff it up.

After the parade is over, the royal family goes back to Buckingham Palace to greet us common people from the balcony. We decided to stay and watch the fly over from the street.
