  • An entire rank of Grenadier Guardsmen musicians are playing clarinets as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations, one event in a series to mark her 50th year on the throne. The soldiers have formed a marching band guard that is making its way along the Mall, that broad avenue from Buckingham Palace. Focus is on one guardsman whose bearskin is slightly higher than his of his comrades. Their music sheets are pinned on specially adapted stands on the ends on their instruments making the job of marching in absolutely straight, regimented lines the more easier. The Grenadier Guards (GREN GDS) is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry. The Grenadier Guards celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2006.

  • In the weeks before Christmas day on December 25th, the Lord Mayor of London hosts an annual party at his official town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the City of London. Inviting Greater London's borough Mayors, they can each invite worthy children for an afternoon's fancy dress party. Two children dressed as Tarzan with a small monkey and a Grenadier Guard with a bearskin, and are seated on the Mayoral throne like two princes in a royal court. The chairs are coated with gold leaf with red cushioned fabric and with the Corporation of London's crest on the top. It looks resplendent and opulent. The two kids are sat looking small in the chairs seemingly made for giants but behind them is another boy dressed as a grey rabbit with floppy ears running past. The Guildhall has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial centre of the City of London. The term Guildhall refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval style great hall similar to those at many Oxbridge colleges. The Guildhall complex houses the offices of the Corporation of London and various public facilities. (Greater London also has a City Hall). The great hall is believed to be on the site of an earlier Guildhall, and has large mediaeval crypts underneath. During the Roman period it was the site of an amphitheatre, the largest in Britannia. The City of London is still part of London's city centre, but apart from financial services, most of London's metropolitan functions are centred on the West End. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000.

  • While visiting London's tourist sites, a young boy of about 5 years-old spends time at Horse Guards where a soldier from the Household Cavalry, also dressed in a deep red coat, stands motionless and at-ease. It is a bright day and the gray stonework amplifies the scarlett uniform tunics as the boy has his picture taken by family. The British Household Cavalry is classed as a corps in its own right, and consists of two regiments: Life Guards (British Army) and the Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons). They are the senior regular regiments in the British Army, with traditions dating from 1660.

  • As Britain enters a period of deep recession, with some shops closing either temporarily or permanently as the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic cuts hard, shoppers wearing face masks come to the West End to Oxford Street where face coverings, including some of political figures like Boris Johnson, are also on sale on 13th August 2020 in London, United Kingdom. The Office for National Statistics / ONS has announced that gross domestic product / GDP, the widest gauge of economic health, fell by 20.4% in the second quarter of the year, compared with the previous quarter. This is the biggest decline since records began. The result is that Britain has officially entered recession, as the UK economy shrank more than any other major economy during the coronavirus outbreak.

The soldier in resplendent red tunic and the controversial bearskin is an iconic emblem of Britain's armed forces during official events. But the officer may be a Grenadier or a Welsh Guard who share similar uniforms and perform similar duties in London. We see over his shoulder on which his regimental insignia is and also where the bayonet of his weapon is fixed and dangerously sharp. He is a sergeant major and therefore responsible for other soldiers' rank and files. The Grenadier Guards (GREN GDS) is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry. The Grenadier Guards celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2006.
