From The Guardian on Sep. 14., 2001:
More than 3,000 people including hundreds of Americans gathered outside Buckingham Palace yesterday to hear the Star Spangled Banner performed in an unprecedented alteration to the changing of the guard ceremony. . .
The Queen ordered the change to the daily ceremonial parade to show solidarity with the United States in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist strikes. . . As the band of the Coldstream Guards began the US national anthem hundreds in the crowd sang along while others wept, before observing a two-minute silence.
