Salute to the Senior Service

Quote:

Royal Navy sailors have performed the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace for the first time in the ceremony's 357-year history.
Eighty-six sailors from 45 Royal Navy ships and establishments spent a month preparing ahead of the first ceremony on Sunday morning.
Warrant Officer Eddie Wearing said it was a "massive privilege".
The ceremony is usually carried out by one of the five Foot Guards Regiments from the Army's Household Division.
The change in personnel is to mark 2017 as the "Year of the Navy", which former defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon called "the start of a new era of maritime power".
The sailors marched to the Game of Thrones theme tune as crowds gathered around the palace gates to watch.

Great to see this Jim! Love this quote from the article-

"As we march out of Wellington Barracks for the first time, I'm fairly sure everyone will grow a good eight to 10 inches," said Lt Cdr Elliott earlier.
