Description

The Queen's Life Guards are stationed at the official entrance to St James' and Buckingham Palaces in London. Every afternoon of the year, in the courtyard of the Horse Guards, a dismounting ceremony takes place. The guards dismount from their horses and present themselves to the Officer for inspection. I arrived quite late for the ceremony and only available space to watch was at the rear. However, as the Officer moved around the guards I was immediately drawn to his white glove emerging from the sea of red coats, checking up on a loose button.
