LONDON, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A tourist in London captured video of a Queen's Guard taking a pratfall during the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Jordan Austin, a Northern Ireland man visiting London, was filming a group of seven Queen's Guards marching during the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace Sunday morning when a guard standing in back slipped while attempting to halt and fell on his rear end.
