So the guards at Buckingham palace are actually pretty far back. I always imagined them studiously trying to ignore people who'd come up and make faces at them, and rigidly standing in place. The reality is that they slowly scan the area around them and change the side they're holding their gun with every five minutes or so. They also get to march every once in awhile.
I had always imagined maybe going up to one and asking about the weight of their big hats, congratulating then on their posture, and then delivering a rather long soliloquy about the state of the world.
In other news, I can credibly tell you that the Queen's ride is a black Range Rover.
