A picture spread on social networking sites, showing how high the temperature is in Britain, especially on the Royal Guard of Buckingham Palace, where the picture showed a man from the police force dropping a soldier from the Palace Guard, who cannot move because of the military tasks imposed on him.
A British army spokesman said: “The changing of the guard ceremonies at Buckingham Palace today, Monday, have been shortened due to the high temperatures.
Monday might be the hottest day ever in the UK, with temperatures expected to reach 41 degrees Celsius.
The British Met Office has issued a heat warning in red across large parts of England, stretching from York and Manchester to London and the southeast of the country.
England and parts of Wales are subject to an amber sweltering heat alert, while Britain prepares for record temperatures.
