"Stoneface ...and funny walk" Changing of the Guard Tip by TheView

Changing of the Guard, Athens: 53 reviews and 104 photos

 
 

I have been reading that the changing of the guard was something to see in Athens. But it was not in my mind when I was walking in the national garden. But outside the garden fence there was some of the Evzones marching down the street. Then as a old royal guards man in denmark I had to see the drill they do. And I must sad they are very good the drill send a signal of strong will. If anybudy should be in doubt, what the do if it looks funny or not its very hard work and from what I hear the Evzones are doing their normal military service. Respect for this or just respect that they have a Garand semiautomatic rifle 8 shot in the clip the first of its kind.
