Kings and queens and their families have lived inBuckinghamPalacesince 1837. QueenVictoriamadeBuckinghamPalaceher home in 1837. But it was not big enough for all her guests. More importantly, it was not big enough for all the children she planned to have, so she made the palace bigger and bigger. I saw a parade atBuckinghamPalacethis morning. Its called the Changing of the Guard. Its fascinating. The guards wear interesting uniforms with red coats and tall hats. Since 1660, the kings and queens ofEnglandhave had these special guards to protect them. The ceremony(仪式) lasted about 45 minutes. The new guards marched to the palace with a band to replace the old guards. They did this in a colourful ceremony with music. Its interesting that they played both traditional music and popular songs. The Changing of Guard takes place in front ofBuckinghamPalaceevery day in spring and summer, and every two days in autumn and winter. I went to the Houses of Parliament after I saw the Changing of the Guard. What are the Houses of Parliament? Well, I guess the countrys leaders meet there to discuss important decisions.
