Am I in London or Utah?

I saw history today, the Queen's Own Guard (the guys that escort the Queen of England and Bunkingham Palace) was in Utah, and performed for my school. The team is in America because they are a soccer team and they are traveling around the world between training, playing other military soccer teams. They beat the Utah National Guard 10-0 and 8-1 this week. They had some extra time and the National Guard suggested they come to our school because we have a good ROTC program. I heard that they never perform like this is it was really a special treat for us. After the performed a variation of the changing of the guard , they relaxed and allowed us to take to them and take pictures with them. They always look so serious, so it was amazing to get to see them in a relaxed situation. I don't think the students realized how cool this was, but it was for sure a highlight of the school year for me.
I will be honest, I wanted to get a picture with this guy because he was by far the cutest members of the Queen's Own Guard.
I can't believe they let me try on the hat!!!! I couldn't see a thing, the fur came down over my eyes, but it was awesome.

I tried to blend in and fall into rank. I think I look a little out of place. But that guy has a sweet jacket.

I felt bad for these guys, everyone wanted to take pictures with the guys in the fancy uniforms. These guys were really cool, they were looking for the cheerleaders, then they realized how young they were and decided that might not be a good thing.
