The Changing The Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace has been cancelled on Wednesday to redeploy police officers in the wake of the Manchester attack.

A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said: “The decision has been taken in order to release the police who would otherwise be dealing with the road closures.”

The New Guard, the RAF Queen’s Colour Squadron, were due to process to the Palace from Wellington Barracks to replace the Old Guard in the traditional ceremony which attracts hundreds of tourists.
