The Changing of the Guard ceremony is subject to changes in date, time, and cancellation at the discretion of British authorities.

Cancellation due to bad weather is not announced before the morning of the ceremony. On such occasions, see a ‘wet change’ during which the guards march but without the usual music or parade.

Westminster Abbey is subject to last-minute, unforeseen closures.
