Previously it was a prison, palace of execution and currently a showcase of the Crown Jewels. You cannot omit mentioning the Buckingham Palace which is the residence of the Queen and the Royal Family. Changing the Guard is highly formal as the team of guards protecting the Buckingham Palace is subjected to change by a new team of soldiers. People watching the ceremony pay nothing and a large number of persons around the globe gather outside the palace to see the ceremony.
