The next morning which was Sunday we went along to see the changing of the Gaurds which we though would be quite novel! We found out that Sunday is the best day of the week to go and see this at 11 am as they do the whole ceremony.They do change the gaurds every hour of every day but it is a shortened form so we just happened to be lucky that it coincided with our visit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
The march that they perform is alongside the 'Tomb of the Unknown soldier',which is situated just outside the Houses of Parliament.The march looks very awkward and unusual and reminded us of prancing horses!!!
 
 
 
      
 
 
Our visist coincided with the registration of the Athens Marathon which was taking place that day, here Mark is not quite sure if he should compete!!!
