Zum ersten Mal hat die britische Royal Navy statt der Army's Household Division die Wachablöse durchgeführt.
Die Soldaten der Royal Navy haben zum ersten Mal die traditionsreiche Zeremonie der Wachablösung "Changing of the Guard" im Zentrum Londons durchgeführt. Tausende Touristen hatten sich vor den Toren des Palasts versammelt, als 86 Matrosen von 45 Schiffen zu den Klängen des Game of Thrones Titelsongs aufmarschierten.
Die Navy-Soldaten führten danach das traditionelle Ritual, das typischerweise von Regimentern der Army's Household Division ausgeführt wird, durch.

A handout picture taken and released by the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) on November 26, 2017 shows Lieutenant Commander Steve Elliot (C) taking over as Captain of the Guard from his Army counterpart, whilst sailors of the Royal Navy Guard march past at Buckingham Palace in London, during the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
It is the first time in more than 400 years that Sailors have replaced Soldiers at the Palace. "The last time the Navy had an operational role guarding the Queen was with Elizabeth the first, when Sir Walter Raleigh was appointed Captain of the Queen's Guard in 1587," said Lieutenant Commander Steve Elliot, Sir Walter Raleigh's successor in the role. / AFP PHOTO / FRPU (E) Royal Navy / PO Arron Hoare / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY CREDIT " AFP PHOTO / CROWN COPYRIGHT 2017 " - NO MARKETING NO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - DISTRIBUTED AS A SERVICE TO CLIENTS - NO ARCHIVE - TO BE USED WITHIN 2 DAYS FROM NOVEMBER 26, 2017 (48 HOURS), EXCEPT FOR MAGAZINES WHICH CAN PRINT THE PICTURE WHEN FIRST REPORTING ON THE EVENT /
