Differential rotational rate of the magnetic field measured in the photosphere was calculated and its temporal dependence was studied using two independent methods. It was found that the rotational rate has a character of torsional waves running to the equator with 11 year periodicity. At high latitudes the rotation is getting slower during minimum of activity when the field measured there is stronger.
