Attending the Punishment Parade in the courtyard of the Horse Guards building in London. Every day at 4 p.m., the on-duty sentries of the King’s Life Guard—the cavalry and foot soldiers that protect the British monarch—are lined up and inspected by an officer before being dismissed for the day. The ceremonial tradition dates to the reign of Queen Victoria, who initiated it after once finding her guards drunk or asleep on the job. We also enjoyed a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the Household Cavalry Museum and the working stables.
