At less than half a mile, it must be the shortest post round in Britain – but it’s by far the grandest.
Horse-drawn Brougham carriages trot between Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace to deliver and collect the King’s mail.

An onlooker said: ‘At least Charles doesn’t have to put up with the postal delays suffered by the rest of us. He gets a more reliable service by horse and carriage.’
