Welcoming the Queen on the north side of Central Station
Description
The Queen and her entourage is waiting beneath the canopy while the officer of the assembled guard of honor reports his unit to the Queen. The officer`s report to the Queen was a formal gesture rooted in military tradition. It is symbolized the guard`s readiness, discipline and respect for the visiting head of state. It also means: "My troops are assembled at your service".
