Loved visiting historical sites and  hearing the background from a local!  We were short on time, but we decided  to throw caution to the wind and visit Buckingham Palace, anyway.  It was a  much further walk than we realized, and we were running quite late.  We  decided to take a shortcut at one spot, only to be delighted that we&#8217;d arrived  in the nick of time for the changing of the guard&#8211;the one thing Anna most  wanted to see!
