I live in the U.S. I love watching these videos but I am so sick and tired of all those tourist that think they’re so funny making fun of the kings guards! I get so disgusted with kids and adults teaching kids bad behavior! These men and women and horses are there doing their jobs. They should be respected for everything they do! I sure wouldn’t last long doing that I’d knock the crap out of alot of tourists I’d be in jail. So God bless you all for your dedication, patience and hard work!
That's why they call them Tourons. Disrespectful and stupid!!! I'm ashamed of the Americans that go over there & mock them. It's disgusting!!! It's sickening to see anyone acting that way!!!
It is a great honor to serve as a guard. Clearly honor is something some people have no concept of whatsoever. I don't know how they remain so patient. 🤦♀️😢
Who pays for these very expensive tours?? If you happen to be abroad go to a travel agency and inquire how much is the cost of a trip to the UK let's say. For a family of four.the UK is the most expensive destination. You will be quoted. These school trips from Eastern Europe and are unimaginable, guides and.maybe you will see a teacher totally uninstered In their behavior, though the police should be much stricter. And the distance from the guards and horses much more restricted. I hope comments will be considered the Royal Guards are not a circus
Es el joven mas amable, hermoso tanto por fuera como por dentro, en sus actos se demuestra, tiene una amabilidad única con los niños con discapacidades diferentes y chicos normales, atento con los mayores , es quien menos grita , lo mejor es que ama a los caballos que son tan nombles, serviciales y muy agradecidos con este soldado y guardia del rey. Joven realmente eres un príncipe para quienes te seguimos ❤❤❤❤❤🤝👏👏💪🌟😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Amen. They have a job to do, not entertain the ignorant people that think they should be able to take the horse by the reins. He or she is a horse, it's not there fault that they don't understand why there all those jerks thinking they can grab the horses. How infuriating to watch these stupid people, and then they look at the guard like, did you see what that horse did to me?? You folks do it to yourselves. Sorry, not sorry. Also, do the guards and horses do that during the night as well?? From USA, so don't know the protocol. Thanks!!!
it's a shame they aren't allowed to poke a few of them with their swords ... now that I'd like to see :D The constant jabber from the crowd gets on my nerves, and I'm not even there!
I hope the Guards are well compensated! I’m sure the horses are well cared for, but no way would I last an hour dealing with ignorant people. Thank you for what you do, and keeping the tradition alive.
They are part of the military, so they get paid as such, and they are proud of what they do. They don’t just sit on a horse, they are constantly scanning the crowds. I’m proud of them and I’m not even British. Because the USA is so young, we don’t have nearly anything like this. There is just so much rich history in Europe.
I am an American. I live in the western United States. I am 75 years old and lived in my present house for 44 years. Every day I thank God for our American active duty soldiers that have served and died so I can live here in peace. During World War 2 Great Britain was one of our many allies. I also thank Britain's soldiers for their service and sacrifice. When i see fools of any age laugh at and mock any soldiers from any country it makes me so angry! Thay are just showing us how ignorant they are!
It's because schools don't teach respect, parents don't teach respect and liberals sure don't show respect and they are hell bent on not letting respect be tought in schools/university. You see how they do the Christian religion and God. The liberals disrespect both. They only follow evil, perversion.
As an ex British Soldier, I thank your boys for sticking buy us in 2 world wars. Not my era, but both Grandfathers, without our American Cousins I doubt I would have been born. God bless America.
No, these horses are trained to handle noises and public transport people noises gun shots loud explosion…! The horses just don’t like limited space when people get to close and keep touching the horses get anxiety and a anxious horse demands space and respect that’s when the horses are showing anxiety nodding head and jumping back and forth
count how many tourists are there then count how many are disresepectful. I guarantee the disrespectful will be very tiny minority. If we ban everything that a small minority treats poorly then you won't ever be allowed to leave the house.
@@anotheruserism😂you need to open your eyes. The touching and petting is way😢 out of control.Should not be allowed.If you had a dog would you allow people to pet it sometimes 10 or more hands all over the face,neck and mouth.I think the dog would bite them.If this abuse is allowed to carry on more horses will bite and someone will get hurt and the horse will get the blame.
@@wendyyule9727people misuse vehicles so using your logic we should ban all vehicles. no more truck to trasnport your furnitre or food or clothes. can't use animals because people misuse animals as well so using them would be banned. Will have to live on the streets because people misuse building materials so all building materials will be banned as well. See how stupid your comment is now? Deal with the problem rather than shutting down the entire thing.
Those horse are magnificent animals and the Lifeguards are highly trained combat soldiers.The tourists are getting confused thinking the Lifeguards are ornamental, they are the real deal, mess with them at your peril.
It's amazing to me that many tourists believe the guards are just in costume! They definitely do not understand that the guards carry loaded guns and can shoot if threatened!
In the early 90s I lived in England for awhile. I did go to watch the change of the guard several times, a few times in the rain. Tourist were at their worst the nicer the weather was. Maybe I'm just getting to old but people seem more disrespectful now than ever.
It was nice seeing the the stirrups being brought over the saddle. When riding English, one always runs up the stirrups after dismount. This prevents the horse from becoming spooked by the loose stirrups from flopping into the horse’s side. The stirrup leathers on these saddles have the buckle next to the stirrup, this prevents you from pushing the stirrup up the back of the loop it is hung on. So putting them over the seat is the only option. This is the first time I’ve seen them do it & it’s good to see.
@@helentaylor2100 They're tourists - members of the public. That's how some tourists and some members of the public are, just as some are short, some tall, etc - respect isn't always part of the package.
You have to wonder why some of these tourists are even there since they just mock and mess around. They are such bad representatives for their own countries. Would they behave like this there? With ceremonial guards of their own presidents or heads of state?
This is Trooper Peter Ellis who took his army service with the Household Cavalry and Blues & Royals very seriously.He has now served his time in the military and is working with the horses he loves . Thank you Trooper Ellis for your service to our country 🇬🇧
Yes ,and he's sadly missed,he was definitely one of the best,I hope he has a wonderful and happy future in his new career, gone but not forgotten,❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Monkeys in the zoo have better behavior than these tourists. As an American, I am appalled at the number of American tourists pulling this crap. The Guards are honorable men doing their jobs, and doing it well. I'm betting that our own soldiers and people would not like it if our troops were goaded this way and made fun of. Remember, they aren't just Guards, they are Soldiers!
My husband and I were planning on a trip to Great Britain and including a trip to London. I hope Spring or Fall will not be as crazy as the summer. I'm in awe of the Guards. I know we and our horses wouldn't have put up with this rude crowd for nearly as long as the Guards and their horses do. Good thing I'm an old lady because if someone grabbed my horse's reins they would be drawing back a bloody stub!!!
None of these people could hold a candle to The Guards. If they would go to the museum that is on the grounds, they could educate themselves on the history, purpose, training and dedication of The Guards.
If these “tourists” feel that it is so funny to be to,d to move and stay behind lines, they should be removed and or arrested. Tomb of the Unknown soldier, the guards can arrest and the penalty can be as much as 30 days.
It makes me so sad for these gaurd's that they have to stand for all the disrespect 😪If i was in that crowd and witnessed this i know that I would have to educate these uneducated people 👍
Beats me why tourists are still allowed to gawp as closely as this, but since they are, and becase many behave disgracefully, it gives me great pleasure when they are startled with a shout to 'make way' or by a pair of boots coming sharply to attention.
I was raised around horses and I was able to teach one of mine to BITE with a smallhand or foot jester. The gaurds need to do the same when idiots start doing stupid. What a hoot that would be to see. Good laugh material, especially the looks on the faces.
Tourists act like The King’s Royal Guards are actors or pretending it’s just for their entertainment. HELLO, I’M AMERICAN AND I HAVE TOTAL RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR THEM AFTER WATCHING THESE VIDEOS. SOME PPL ARE OBLIVIOUS OF WHATS GOING ON AROUND THEM. SO ENTITLED! NOT. NO MANNERS, NO RESPECT FOR MEN/WOMEN JUST WORKING FOR A LIVING. I AM ASHAMED.
Fair play to you young soldier. Impressive demonstration of restraint (personally I would have taken a few heads off with that blade, free meals and accomodation for the rest of my life) but you are young and should not have to put up with the ignorant tourist shit. Thank you for being who you are.
I think they should at least be able to poke some of them with the sword just to scare them ... although I doubt that would have any effect No sense, no feeling, as my mother used to say.
It's an ages old ritual. Instead of relishing in and enjoying the pomp and circumstance, the tourists act like idiots! Such a shame and total lack of respect. Close the gates and let the fools watch through the fences.
I wonder if soldiers are allocated a particular Horse to look after or if it’s a daily random selection. Those Horses have a long career in Military Service so must be a wrench when a soldiers contract ends and they have to part company.
I am totally with you there. I am pretty handy with my crutches!😂. Have worked out a strategy to deal with those skull capped nobodies 😂😂. Total love & respect for the guards & horses.
Absolutely DISGRACEFUL the way these young people are laughing at these guards do they not know that they are decirated soldiers whi have faught in wars😡😡😡
@@caz3502 Who cares. You’re the host country. They should be grateful to you. The only thing these tourists are good for is tourists $$$. They support your economy. That’s all.Leave your money & go home.
I’m from America and I just have to say that the disrespect for the pomp and circumstance,guards,horses,police and the whole thing is disgraceful. I’ve said it before,but you would think the general public feels that they are at some cheap frills themed park. The way people laugh when the guards say “make way” and the complete hideous demeanor of some of these “tourists” is way too far out there.
@@kaldunekid Listen for what? It's a bunch of tourists chatting and laughing. They're enjoying the show, not offending anyone - or at least not anyone there. They're not in a church!
Those horses are truly amazing animals the standard of care and the condition is a credit and the patience of the troopers is beyond belief I would never tolerate the behaviour of the people trying to pull on their horses a credit to all involved from grooms to troopers
I see some comments saying there’s nothing wrong with what tourists are doing. I see some of these tourists laughing at everything the guards do. Why laugh? What’s so funny? They’re clearly being mocked and yes, that’s disrespectful.
Many of them sound foreign. How would they react if we went to their country and laughed at their military? We'd get arrested or thrown out of their country
About time, this privilege was denied to these rude , arrogant so called tourest😢. The trouble is genuine tourists will loose out. Or, create a barrier of NO contact, out of respect for these wonderful men and women. ❤❤❤
The German boys you can hear in the video.... I am in shame....They thought the guards would make the hitler greeting when they dismounted.... Laughing, saying that this is stupid and senseless... no respect.... :( I am sorry for my fellow countrymen dear British friends... Greetings from Lübeck (northern Germany)
I have to say that this guard walks the best in those boots. They ususally have a really awkward, treading water sort of walk. But he actually walks quite normally. Good on YOU, Kings Guard.
First time I've seen "The Guards Shop" there near the guard. I think it trivializes the guards and their duty. I wonder what they're commercializing there. . . . what they're selling and who keeps the proceeds?
On a much earlier thread last year sometime, someone stated they had visited the stall and some of the items were not as bad we thought and that all profits went to Army charities. Whether this is a fact, I cannot confirm.
@@dianapeek6936 As much as the queen appreciated her horses, I wouldn't be surprised if the proceeds went towards the upkeep of those beautiful animals. Thanks for replying Ms. Diana.
My first time there, in the courtyard, guards on foot were changing. I a tourist was taken pictures. I heard "make way for the Queens life guards" was very physically almost knocked off my feet by one of the guards. I am a rather large guy,, this young guard wasn't fooling around. He was doing his job which I still remember with respect.
Anyone with such disrespect to these amazing British soldiers should be ashamed of themselves, and be banned from ever going back there. What is wrong with these people? I'm from the USA, and would NEVER, EVER disrespect anyone while I was in another country. 😮😢
@@ecm958 The govt should keep a barrier between the guards/horses and the public. It's unfair to their military members. Exposing them to the idiot public. People can take pictures from behind a see thru barrier.
To bad the gaurds can't have a water canon that looks like a real gun. My what a hilarious scenario!!!!!!!!!! Would really be a wonderful manner teaching tool.
The kings guard horse probably started to act up when he first came out because he knew what was to come,a day of being bloody grabbed by disrespectful idiots x

This can be corrected rather easily. Simply declare the immediate vicinity closed to mobs and ENFORCE it with appropriate police presence.
They would be arrested in Russia, Korea, USA , etc,etc.

If they disrespect our guards like this, what do they think of us?
I know what I tĥnk of them
@@caz3502 Who cares. You’re the host country. They should be grateful to you. The only thing these tourists are good for is tourists $$$. They support your economy. That’s all.Leave your money & go home.
Contempt or jealously or combination of the two. Seems to be mostly Germans shouting themselves hoarse.
The ignorant, rude tourists don't think.
That young boy needed to be tossed out
I’m from America and I just have to say that the disrespect for the pomp and circumstance,guards,horses,police and the whole thing is disgraceful. I’ve said it before,but you would think the general public feels that they are at some cheap frills themed park. The way people laugh when the guards say “make way” and the complete hideous demeanor of some of these “tourists” is way too far out there.
Use the sword to a limited, but effective degree and the message will get across.
You mean only cut off a few hands?
Kings guards must get sick of the rabble and noise.
its decayed to a show. King Charles should do savety to his guards. Its a circus around his guards.
They are not toy soldiers. They are trained and dedicated military service men and women. The disrespect from guests is astounding.
It is a shame how RUDE the tourists are. 😡
They are idiots.
Where? They did exactly what they were told, pleasantly, when they were told - equally pleasantly.
Listen to the ignorant chatter and laughing in the backgrou🤬😡😠
@@kaldunekid Listen for what? It's a bunch of tourists chatting and laughing. They're enjoying the show, not offending anyone - or at least not anyone there. They're not in a church!
Just some german kiddies have some fun on their trip. They don't lough about the men in uniform. They're just a bit silly thats all.
Just beautiful 😮😊
Those horses are truly amazing animals the standard of care and the condition is a credit and the patience of the troopers is beyond belief I would never tolerate the behaviour of the people trying to pull on their horses a credit to all involved from grooms to troopers
I see some comments saying there’s nothing wrong with what tourists are doing. I see some of these tourists laughing at everything the guards do. Why laugh? What’s so funny? They’re clearly being mocked and yes, that’s disrespectful.
Many of them sound foreign. How would they react if we went to their country and laughed at their military? We'd get arrested or thrown out of their country
What a load of I’ll mannered people just can’t believe at times
Peter is funny, so they lolol.😅..he should be acter, he's so good!!!!
About time, this privilege was denied to these rude , arrogant so called tourest😢. The trouble is genuine tourists will loose out. Or, create a barrier of NO contact, out of respect for these wonderful men and women. ❤❤❤
He looks like he’s got the world on his shoulders 😢. The poor man needs a couple of pints and someone to listen to him vent.
The German boys you can hear in the video.... I am in shame....They thought the guards would make the hitler greeting when they dismounted.... Laughing, saying that this is stupid and senseless... no respect.... :(
I am sorry for my fellow countrymen dear British friends...
Greetings from Lübeck (northern Germany)
Some of the tourists need to grow up.and have respect they are so igrorant
These guards are doing an awesome job, they keep so calm, amidst a crowd of morons.
The Royal Guards are a tremendous treasure for the people of the United Kingdom. Semper Fidelis - from a United States Marine.
Anyone laughing at the guards should be kicked out and given a tongue lashing.
I have to say that this guard walks the best in those boots. They ususally have a really awkward, treading water sort of walk. But he actually walks quite normally. Good on YOU, Kings Guard.
From what I'm hearing, apparently German tourists never shut up.🤨
I didn’t think the Police were much help with the change over .
That's not their job, and in any case there were no issues they could have "helped" with.
Not their job which is security inside the gates.
@@georgebarnes8163 You're right it's not a police job, but their job isn't security inside the gates either, as that's MoD property.
Herding cats…
First time I've seen "The Guards Shop" there near the guard. I think it trivializes the guards and their duty. I wonder what they're commercializing there. . . . what they're selling and who keeps the proceeds?
On a much earlier thread last year sometime, someone stated they had visited the stall and some of the items were not as bad we thought and that all profits went to Army charities. Whether this is a fact, I cannot confirm.
@@dianapeek6936 As much as the queen appreciated her horses, I wouldn't be surprised if the proceeds went towards the upkeep of those beautiful animals. Thanks for replying Ms. Diana.
these shops are common place around tourist attractions all over the world, this tourist attraction is no different.
I hope they make tons of money from that shop.
From Mauritius with ❤
Disgusting behaviour from tourists that seem not to respect anything and so utterly undisciplined people's.
Move The Crowd Back!
My first time there, in the courtyard, guards on foot were changing. I a tourist was taken pictures. I heard "make way for the Queens life guards" was very physically almost knocked off my feet by one of the guards. I am a rather large guy,, this young guard wasn't fooling around. He was doing his job which I still remember with respect.
Anyone with such disrespect to these amazing British soldiers should be ashamed of themselves, and be banned from ever going back there. What is wrong with these people? I'm from the USA, and would NEVER, EVER disrespect anyone while I was in another country. 😮😢
Shame on England to subject their guards/horses to this disrespect. Put a barrier between the guards and the public.
Don't be ashamed of England. Your American cousins across the pond admire GB and your military immensely. Better to shame the disrespectful tourists.
@@ecm958
The govt should keep a barrier between the guards/horses and the public. It's unfair to their military members. Exposing them to the idiot public. People can take pictures from behind a see thru barrier.
To bad the gaurds can't have a water canon that looks like a real gun. My what a hilarious scenario!!!!!!!!!! Would really be a wonderful manner teaching tool.
I have long wondered why UK doesn't EVER use W.Cns. seen them frequently in Europe and yobs don't like being wet.
@@dianapeek6936 the UK does use water cannons and the UK is part of Europe.
I would settle for a paint ball gun!
Yes! Or a cattle prod would be nice, too.
Well said !
The kings guard horse probably started to act up when he first came out because he knew what was to come,a day of being bloody grabbed by disrespectful idiots x
Try getting within 100 Ft of the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington and see what happens
