Built in 1703 years
ago by the 'man who was the Duke of Buckingham at that time. When George III
became king soon after, he liked the palace so much that he bought it, and
English kings and queens have lived in it ever since. Buckingham Palace is
attended night and day by special troops of the British Army. These troops work
in shifts, like all guards. Each time a new shift comes on, there is a very
colorful ceremony called the "Changing of the Guard." The bugle call at this
time suggested the music for the song that starts, "They're changing Guards at
Buckingham Palace, Christopher Robin went down with Alice."
