LONDON \u2013 The changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace may draw tourists from far and wide, but on Sunday visitors to the landmark were treated to a different sort of spectacle: a parade of corgis dressed up in crowns, tiaras and royal outfits.<\/p>\n

Around 20 royal fans and their pet corgis gathered to walk their dogs outside the palace in central London to remember Queen Elizabeth II a year since her death.<\/p>\n

Corgis were the late queen\u2019s constant companions since she was a child, and Elizabeth owned around 30 throughout her life. Generations of the dogs descended from Susan, a corgi that was given to the queen on her 18th birthday.<\/p>\n

Agatha Crerer-Gilbert, who organized Sunday\u2019s event, said she would like the corgi march to take place every year in Elizabeth\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see a better way to remember her than through her corgis, through the breed that she loved and cherished through her life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I can\u2019t still get used to the fact that she\u2019s not physically around us, but she\u2019s looking at us. Look, the sun is shining, I thought it would shine on us today,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Aleksandr Barmin, who owns a corgi named Cinnamon and has taken the pet to attend past royal-related events, said the parade was a poignant reminder that Elizabeth is no longer around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really hard feeling, to be honest \u2026 it\u2019s really sad that we don\u2019t have (the queen) among us anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cBut still, Her Majesty the Queen is still in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sept. 8 will be the anniversary of the death of the 96-year-old queen at her Balmoral Castle estate in Scotland. She was queen for 70 years and was Britain\u2019s longest-reigning sovereign.<\/p>\n
