On duty guarding England's crown jewels at the Tower of London, London

Speaking from experience, having to stand at attention for long periods of time is NOT fun. I can't imagine doing so with that beast of a "hat" with a chinstrap that resembles a gag. I was going to mention the bottom button being undone as a flaw but now that I think of it I remember reading somewhere that this is a tradition. It probably is since I doubt this guard would be sloppy with his dress and deportment.

Anyway, nice shot.
