The Queen's Guard is a ceremonial unit responsible for guarding the official residences of the British monarch, including Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. They are known for their distinctive uniforms, which include a red tunic and a bearskin hat. The guards perform ceremonial duties, including the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony, which attracts many tourists.
The Queen's Guard is made up of soldiers from the British Army, specifically from regiments such as the Coldstream Guards and the Grenadier Guards. While they are primarily ceremonial, they are also trained soldiers ready to respond to any security threats.
