The guys in the bearskin hats actually come from one of four regiments, either the Scots Guards, Irish Guards, Welsh Guards or Grenadier Guards.
The way to tell the difference is the little coloured thingie (that I can't remember the name of at this early hour) on their hat Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Those little thingies are called plumes. http://www.changing-the-guard.com/guards.htm
