When tourists come to the capital of Great Britain, they love to take pictures with the Royal Guards. These soldiers are famous throughout the world not only for standing at their post “to attention” without moving for hours, but also for their unusual uniform. The fur hat almost 18 inches, or 45.7 centimeters in height may seem funny to some… but remember: they really do not react to the public, but if someone tries to mock them, they must use force.
