The procession has now reached its destination after a solemn march lasting around 45 minutes.
It was originally built in the 1820s as an entrance to Buckingham Palace but moved to its present location six decades later, being used to mark the Duke of Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon.
One of London’s best-known landmarks, it’s crowned by the largest bronze sculpture in Europe – depicting the angel of peace.
