Red Umbrellas at Buckingham Palace

I have made it to see the Changing of the Guards. Everyone in the crowd has these huge red and white umbrellas. It isn't raining, but the bright umbrellas are in the air. It is time for the Changing of the Guards to begin. Buckingham Palace is looking a little different. There are no gates and we are up close and personal with the guards.
As we stand on the green grass, the guards start to march and everyone begins to bob their umbrellas up and down in the air almost in unison with the marching. It is quite bizarre, but fun.
