Breaking hundreds of years of tradition, the late Queen Elizabeth II ordered the band of the Coldstream Guards to play the American national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner, during the famed Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace on September 13, 2001. It was just 24 hours after the horrific tragedies of 9/11 struck the United States, and while we were still in profound shock.

On Sept 12, 2001 — 24hrs after 9/11 — Queen Elizabeth ordered the U.S. national anthem be played at the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace. Nothing like that had occurred in 600 years. 🇺🇸🇬🇧pic.twitter.com/VP4vLdnL6M

Accompanied by a full military band playing a selection of music ranging from traditional marches to songs from musicals and familiar pop songs, the ceremony is both a colourful military tradition and an important reminder of the close relationship between the Armed Forces and their Head: The Queen.
The Queen passed away Thursday at the age of 96 and was the longest-serving monarch in British history.
