      Well I know we viewers are cheesed off by the disrespect some tourists have.
      Not one thank you after having their photo taken.
      I shall never visit now as I am 86 and partially- disabled but if I did, I most certainly would ask if I could take their photograph, after all, it is just good manners.

    Is it just me, or are the police keeping a much closer watch over the guards? I'm starting to wonder if threats have been made, or something; or is it just because the tourists are becoming increasingly obnoxious? It's quite clear the military personnel are keeping a close watch of all the videos, and reading comments. Not criticising (it would no doubt come under threat assessment), just saying.

      WHY WHY WHY do the officials allow the public to not only stand close to the beautiful horses causing extreme chaos whist photos are being taken. and allowing
      Hundreds of photos to be taken every minute / hour every day. Those poor horses must be absolutely fed up. Why are the public allowed to cause such chaos around the horses? Why can’t the horses stand behind wrought iron fences. A special area could be put aside where horses could take it in turns for the photographs with the humans standing near to them. It would reduce all absolute chaos that we are witnessing now. June Vernon

Our guardsmen display amazing patience with sometimes difficult tourists who have no knowledge of the history of the Lifeguards and probably have no more interest than to have their photos taken. People watching should remember these are serving soldiers and after this ceremonial duty may well be deployed to dangerous locations and conflicts . My regards.

    The entitled rudeness and disrespect that is displayed by people today is astounding. I suspect that is why a more obvious security stance is being taken lately. In future it will likely come to the point that tourists will have to be kept at a distance and not allowed to get close to the horse and guard. As for the courtyard, crowd limits and barriers will probably be needed.

The look of bewilderment when told to move back several times over and over is just plain ignorance and wanting to be right up front, well stay there and you will get a very large black war horse right up close and personal as he stomps you into the ground.

The authorities can have a gentle nudge against this problem now, or they will have to fight it violently in the future when it passes the tipping point. Some of the people in these videos deserve to go to jail for assault and disturbing the peace.

They seem to think that these guards are just there for photo opportunities and will push in front of others, for their own right to have a photo taken.
    We need to bring back good manners, I do realise that most of these folk are not English speaking but perhaps we need to have the written word in many languages ie the horse may bite or kick up if you are too close. The other thing is that the tour guides must understand the history that is behind the Kings Guard. That is the first thing that has to happen, the guides must know and impart this to the folk that they are guiding.

      @@charlottecunningham2141 the woman who poked the horse in the eye, the Asian woman who kept flicking the horse in the face with her fingers, up their nose, the guy who tried to kick the horse, the guy pulling the horse forward or to the side by the horse's reins to get a photo etc? No? Keep watching these videos and you will see animal abuse.

    Each and every tourist posing with these guards, destroys the entire picture. I wish they would block off tourists from getting so close.

    I hate to keep running my mouth, but this is very disturbing to me. This is a working monarch and the public shouldn't have so much access. There are people from every corner of the world there, milling around. Our society has been tanking for a while now. I think taking God out of the equation, the breakdown of the family unit, and this 'anything goes' culture, has caused these past 2 generations to not be taught values, character, manners and morals. The whole thing is heartbreaking.

    I think they should pro temps, use those red thick ropes that restrict access in open mansions and the like. Attach it to the railings, pass it behind the bollards each time the guard is to be changed.
    This until they re route visitors along side the buildings. Thus an area in front of the sentry posts, and across the gate could be closed to the public .
    The public should only be allowed to progress through horse guards, behind the painted line.
    This kind of restriction has happened in almost all tourist attractions in London…for instance , you used to be able to go into Westminster Abbey at any time, until the number visiting were found to be damaging the flooring, so they introduced charging as a limiting factor.

      @kathrynhobbs8874 . Unfortunately any form of barrier , rope etc is not possible . They are on a public footpath in Whitehall under control of the Council not MOD , through the gates is MOD property with MOD police . Also a barrier is potentially dangerous for both horse and trooper if the horse became unsettled and ran forward. The bollards are there for safety reasons to restrict access by unauthorised vehicles to the courtyard in case of any suspected terrorism , the public are ushered behind the bollards for changing of the guards for their own safety .
