Default Changing of the Guard in the Capitol Rotunda
If you have not watched C-Span, Pres. Reagan's flag draped casket lies in state and is surrounded by an honor guard representing all branches of the service.

Every half hour there is a changing of the guard ceremony. It is very impressive to watch, don't miss the chance to see this.

Truely the most professional honor guard I have seen. By far only the "best of the best" are given the honor to guard our former President.

Godbless their service...

Nope, I don't think you will find it anywhere else but C-Span.

This is why I love C-Span, no talking heads with their incessant yammering, just live coverage, no commentary, and you can hear the sound of the sergeant of the guard walking as those metallic things on his low quarters click as he moves in with the new relief.

I'm watching right now, waiting for the next change. These guys (one Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force soldier) are truly impressive to watch.

I just saw the changing at 8pm EST. Truly amazing, the absolute precision that these men are able to do. Takes your breath away.
