The center of all this fanfare is the half-hour ceremony that takes place in the forecourt (between the palace and the fence) in front of Buckingham Palace. At 11:00 a batch of fresh guards meets the O

To celebrate the season, I’m sharing clips, extras, and behind-the-scenes notes from my one-hour special, “Rick Steves’ European Christmas.” Today we travel to London, which offers Christmas fun fit for a queen and streets twinkling with joy.

Cambridge, 60 miles north of London, is world-famous for its prestigious university.
