Nice. I can't help pointing out the anomaly of the tunic having the collar badges of the Grenadiers and the paired buttons of the Coldstream Guards.Β

And that is a terrific bearskin hat! Great job with the texture there, it looks so fuzzy one could just imagine how it feels instead of just how it looks. Which, by the way, is another artful way to create a sense of bangs (a personal weakness for so I'm probably projecting something unintended) and the use of the strap to accentuate the red full lips with both the position of the chin strap and its yellow color that compliments the redΒ here.
Another artist had nailed me on something I hadn't realized, but seeing these boots here I guess I do love boots with buckles. Nice job all around, the fabric of the uniform coat, the leather of the boots and the metal of the bayonet, it looks sharp in both sight and texture of the metal. Despite the sexy version of this guard uniform, her pose, he expression, her hat and that gun look all business otherwise, leaving it easy for a suspension of disbelief. Brava Miss Dona, brava!

This year, I completely forgot it was on TV, and missed the Trooping The Colour ceremony last Saturday. Tell me -- wasΒ that girlΒ there? And, if so, can I get to see her on BBC iPlayer? Please? Please?

I don't think she has made her official public debut yet.... I think this change is awaiting a change in the sovereign

Could be some time, then. I don't think HM The Queen is going 'to do a Juan Carlos'.

A beautiful follow up picture love it. We Brits are all different so there will be some who don't see your creative talentsΒ

I'm glad you like it Capt S!....Β more than a few ask the question "what creative talent?"

They're changing guard at Buckingham palace,
Christopher Robin went down with Alice,
Alice is marrying one of the guards*,
A soldier's life is terribly hard.
1) That was from memory, from when I was about 5.
*This is actually legal in the UK.

Disambiguation - I meant that it would be legal for Alice to marry the illustrated guard.

No shirt, no shoes, no service...rarely does the sign mention pants.

There may be a teeny pair under that coat.... or maybe not

This uniform is great for summer(btw, male guards are happy for their new shorts!) but I'm not sure about winter Β

Tights Mario...tights!

Really great image! Imaging these guards on the march makes my synapses want to fry! Β

Thank you SL... imagining them on the march would make for a very interesting piece of art work....hmmmmmm

You're welcome! The guards on the march would be a great piece. I can hear the bands playing and the crowds cheering now. Β I like the sound of that 'hmmmmm.'
But I'll bet any terrorists or lunatics who want to crash the palace grounds and interrupt the Queen's tea would swiftly learn to their grief that these ladies are more thanΒ pretty faces. Β

Very nice (wrong buttons aside!) - certainly would get a lot of standing at attention

Standing at attention is just part of the job Simon!

Excellent follow-up. Β Love the way her left fist in clenched giving off an attitude of, 'Making fun of the uniform, clown?' Β As a former U. S. Marine, I find the most risible part of the uniform, the traditional head gear.

I'm glad you liked it Linus...and I'm happy the attitude comes through!
