No 7 Company The Coldstream Guards, stand to attention outside the gates of Chelsea Barracks for the final time, Friday 21st December 2007. The Guards left the barracks for the last time , after the Chelsea site was sold to a private property developer. The barracks has been home to the Guards Regiments for 145 years, enjoying an illustrious history as a mounting base for jubilees, coronations, pageants and military parades.
