Every other day of the year (and everyday in July) the Royal Guards change at Buckingham Palace. In this class, we will attend this event! By the magic of video, we will walk with the guards as they make their way from St. James's Palace to Buckingham Palace on their morning guard change duty. As a tour guide, I show visitors to London this ceremony, and I am delighted to share it with you. Walk with the guards and learn the route of this ceremony. You will also learn about the guards themselves, what regiment they serve with, and many significant facts about their iconic uniform. Once the ceremony is complete, you will learn what happens to the guards next, and where do the off-duty guards go. If you can't make it to London for a visit in person, this is the next best thing!
Learning Goals
--Students will learn the regiments of the royal guards

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional tour guide in London and love going around the city (sometimes dressed in costume!) and teaching visitors about the fascinating history. With over 2000 years of events, there is plenty to learn! My signature tour is where I dress like a singing nanny from the Edwardian period and teach about suffragettes and chimney sweeps!
If you have been dreaming of visiting London, but want to get a head start on learning more about this city and the history here.... my classes are perfect for you.
I believe that you can learn and have fun at the same time. No subject is too boring, and I hope you will find my classes to be entertaining, engaging and educational. During class, I often change costumes to help keep the learners engaged and I encourage dressing up in class!Reviews
