Capt. Megan Couto, 24, led some 40 Canadian soldiers through the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. The 35-piece Royal Canadian Artillery Band led the way, performing and marching along The Mall under the blazing sun as a crowd of a few hundreds tourists watched from the sidewalk.
The band performed Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah and the theme song to Hockey Night in Canada.
The Canadians could be distinguished from the usual British foot guards by their grey headwear, called pith helmets, rather than the black bearskin helmets worn by British guards.

Big honor for her and pretty cool.
