Change of Guards Ceremony - April 2025 – El Capitan March – Istana, Singapore 🇸🇬 - Virtual Walk [4K]

Come join me at the monthly Changing of Guard Ceremony at the Istana, the Singapore President’s official residence and office.

The change ceremony is typically conducted on the first Sunday of every month, in the evening.

The Guards are selected from the Military Police and performs sentry duty at the palace on a monthly rotation.
Every ceremony is accompanied by the SAF Band and the Silent Precision Drill Squad.

The format of the Ceremony is based on the British Changing of Guards Ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

The New Guards will march on Orchard Road to meet the Old Guards at the main entrance of the Istana. A symbolic parade of handing over duties is then carried out.


Many thanks to the Military Police for allowing to me get the good angles of the ceremony.
