All summer, the guards had been parading in London in their famous red tunics and over the last week or so, the MoD tailors have had to work hard to ensure all the great coats still fit for all guardsmen to change into.The grey great coats are used in the winter because of their larger length and also the thickness of the great coats is also greater, offering guardsmen and officers greater protection against the elements whilst on guard.
