  Buckingham Palace
and St Paul's Cathedral
The redcoats are coming!  Some things do not change in over 200 years.  These soldiers are at the starting point for the Changing of the Guard ceremony.  No crowds here.  As the band joins in, only video can do justice to these military movements.
The finish line is Buckingham Palace, residence for Queen Elizabeth II in London.  The soldiers parade by.
St Paul's Cathedral, completed in 1710 by the architect Sir Christopher Wren, boasts a huge dome that can be seen all over London.  In the church dome competiton, Londoners only concede that St Peter's at the Vatican is larger.  St Paul's can battle with Westminster Abbey for royal events.  Princess Diana and Prince Charles were  married here in 1981.
With interior photography permitted, St Paul's reveals a splendid ornate design.  The dome can also be ascended for views of London.
