    Thank you CoH Merv for talking to John. John is the best person to engage with, as he is so knowledgeable and respectful to all at Horse Guards. John's style of video is educational, where appropriate humour and of course very respectful of all the staff who work so hard at Horse Guards. Thank you for taking the time to talk to John, answering his questions and sharing your views as a servicing member of our wonderful armed forces. Without all of you, our country would not be as free as it is. Keep up the good work and thank you for your service. How wonderful your interview with Merv was John. Even showing your displeasure at a kid filming a private conversation you and Merv were having. Ever the professional and respectful UA-camr.
    As always John, Keep up the good work.

    Many thanks to the COH for taking time to speak with you John . In his twenty years with the Blues and Royals he must have seen many changes and have had good and bad experiences ! It was interesting to hear how those on ceremonial duties are now chosen and the horses as well . I hope we do see more of this gentleman on the ground not sitting in the office watching cameras , that must be at times both boring and frustrating 😊. Maybe if you get the chance to talk with him again you could ask him his thoughts on the white lines and the benefits to both two and four legged Troopers and to the general public . I do hope he's not read any of the nasty derogatory comments made by some people towards Troopers ! I suspect after 20 years he's seen and heard it all ! I'm glad he didn't know the channel but thanks to your respectful questions and the fact you didn't film him during the conversation he's aware that you respect HCav unlike others , mentioning no names of course ! 😶. An unexpected part 2 , thanks to both of you 😊

I know you wanted to pounce on that disrespectful Hasidic guy because I wanted to! Marching along with our Gatesman.....what a moron! I guess not everyone got the memo in the Jewish community. THEN, that group of the same people sitting on the ground directly in front of the Gatesman. ARGH!! That's just out of order right there. I do hope the second part is calmer for you and the Troopers. Waiting patiently to spend the hour with you and them. May you all have a beautiful, blessed day! Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.

    Well, that was good that the corporal of horses was willing to talk with you and also nice to know that there was a set of twin boys back in the 2006 era along with the new twin young ladies that are on duty and I recognize a couple faces That I always see that you catch glimpses of the photographers. You know all them ugly spammer people standing around with all the cameras, the gentleman with the three cameras the one with the pompadour hairdo that look kind a looks like Elvis, and then the oriental lady sunglasses and matching hat and coat. I recognize her from multiple times being there and it’s getting to be more and more people just standing around with multiple cameras, there’s no need for it and they’re there all day. It’s crazy there’s no need but still drawn great interview with Corporal of horses I like that really great. And it’s so crowded there. Oh my I would be slightly claustrophobic.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
