An officer and two guards approach to change the guards in Athens

---

The changing of the guard by the Evzones in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Syntagma Square outside the Greek Parliament building in Athens. The guards change every hour, and in a ceremony where they drag their nail-rich soles on the ground, two guards start their shift as the others return to barracks escorted by their officer.
