Both ITN and BBC have copies of the St. Paul service (which is very 
touching, and also has a bit where they sing the Star-Spangled 
Banner), and if you go to:

http://www.itn.co.uk/usattacks/britain.shtml

you *should* be able to see a video of the Changing of the Guard 
ceremony.  However, I've been having trouble getting it to load, so 
it's not a guarantee.  You can see a "snippet" at abcnews.com:

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/video_index/video_index.html

And then click the link "The World Mourns"

This one's been working, and even though it's only about 20-30 
seconds' worth, it made me tear up...

Hope this helps, and I'm sure you'll find a video in the next couple 
of days...

Ps.  I saw it while watching tv... when they do the wrap-up tonight 
on any of the major broadcast stations, they may show it again.
