The Queen's Life Guard Dismount Parade The Dismount Parade which takes place daily on the courtyard in front of Horse Guards when the mounted sentries who have been guarding the official entrance to Buckingham Palace are relieved by dismounted sentries. Also known as 'The Four 'O' Clock Parade' and 'Punishment Parade' it takes place at 16:00 daily when following an inspection by an Officer the mounted guards dismount, then take their horses back to the stables for the night. Two dismounted sentries will then guard the entrance until 20:00 when the gates to Horse Guards are closed and then one sentry will remain on duty until 07:00 when the gates re-open. #horseguardsparade #toweroflondon #buckinghampalace #armedpolice #london #thequeensguard #armedforces #kingscoronation #metpolice #thekingsguard #windsorcastle #troopingthecolour ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YB8Jq95cuQ
