Here's a very tentative list of what I want to see in the United Kingdom. I'll try to keep it organized by country and section...will probably have to reorganize as I go along.

I think the changing-of-the-guard at Buckingham Palace is everyday at 11:30....it's pretty impressive....and I think, there is a more detailed changing once a week...you'll have to check.....get there early to claim a spot on the gate so you have a good view inside the walled area...
Good advice. I'll check on the more detailed changing. I hope to buy tickets in advance for those things that I can and plan out events like the changing so I won't be stressed worrying about things at the last minute.
Here's a link to the changing of the guard.

10.00pm The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London
For over 700 years, the Tower has been locked every night and no one allowed in or out without the password. Today this ceremony still takes place at 7 minutes to ten each night, when the Chief Yeoman Warder, escorted by the military Guard, marches from the Byward Tower to lock the heavy wooden gates to the fortress.
...will investigate this...might be the best way to buy tickets. http://www.britishheritagepass.com/?ref=cj
Changing of the guard is every other day...some months even days, some odd, but doesn't change every month...go figure...that would make it too easy to plan
