The new guards come in on horseback from the street. It's quite a sight to see Swedish guards in full dress riding up the middle of a busy city street. Try and catch the beginning as there are numerous horses and needless to say, quite a mess is made during the ceremony!"

.... it appears to be at the later time also on public holidays.

where we would be without you! everyone said theres no C changing of the Guard on Mondays. As we didnt sleep a wink on the flight we had to decide what to do. I told my friend lets see everyone in Stk says Not on Mondays and an FTer says Yes. Im going we walked around the Old City as 2 Zombies and sure enough we got to the Palace and was told to come back in an hour to catch it.

Need I say more. Only no horses. We were inside the Plaza area. Not many people as it was threating Rain which it did about 10 mins before it ended.
