Summary edit

Description
English: A Guardsman from The Life Guards stands on sentry at Horseguards Parade Ground, London during a cold winter's morning.

He looks out towards the Guards Memorial, also known as the Guards Division War Memorial, on the west side of Horse Guards Road, opposite the Horse Guards Parade Ground.

The Life Guards are the senior regiment of the British Army. Just before the Restoration of King Charles II, a Royal Mounted Bodyguard was formed in Holland from eighty Royalists who had gone into exile with The King after the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
