I think the second photo,is of the fusilier company of the London Regt(not sure which coy).This is due to the shield arm badge,which are the coat of arms of London.

First picture is in the Forecourt of Buckingham Palace, by the size of the detachment, it is either the St James's Palace detchment of the Queen's Guard just entering the forecourt prior to changing of the Guard, or the Buckingham Palace detachment going to the Guardroom post Guard mount (later is most likely as I cannot see a colour party). A Spell on Public Duties for the RRF?

Hi,
The second photo was taken at the Royal Fusiliers memorial Holborn. Memorial is close to Chancery Lane tube station. I imagine this photo was taken on Remembrance Sunday.

Regards

Danny
