Great Britain is a beautiful country that receives tens of millions of tourists every year. All of them go to see the Big Ben and the Tower of London, walk along Baker street, and, of course, see the famous guards. These motionless, silent figures in huge hats have long been one of the symbols of Great Britain, familiar to everyone. But what secrets hides this elite corps that protects the Queen? We'll figure it out.
This is THEE worst researched and therefore incorrect account of the ceremonial units of the British Army. Can’t even put it down to terminology, it’s just plain wrong in so many areas.
Agree, worst I've seen.
Yup. Agree.
I agree.
abreed greed
"royal guards".... That already says alot about the content.
Guards in gray are the same as red, the gray is winter red is summer
HFD Shrimp nope that's not true I asked a UK guard when I visited the tower of London and he said that it's the ranks and has nothing to do with the weather
Fraidy Graus so... you somehow walked up to a guard, didn’t get yelled at, AND he broke regulation and rules to answer a question that could be googled?
Fraidy Graus oh yeah, we’re also just gonna leave out how there is pictures of officers and enlisted men wearing red tunics, and pictures of officers and enlisted men wearing grey coats.
HFD Shrimp no, I said that I was at the tower of London, and the guards three are allowed to converse with everyone
Fraidy Graus it doesn’t matter if you were at the Tower of London, an on duty Royal Guard is not allowed to speak to the public casually. It’s against regulations.
Rifles not machine guns, bands not orchestras.
Correct
Black bears, not grizzlies.

“Since the 1200s. Can you imagine how long ago that was”
Yes, idiot. I can even calculate it
The idiot doing the commentary needs to bone up on his facts & history. The Coldstream Guards were founded in 1650 as Monck's Regiment of Foot and was part of Cromwell's New Model Army. It became known as the Coldstream Guards in 1670, upon the death of General Monck, its first Colonel. It is the oldest regiment in continuous existence in today's modern British Army.
Also, it really grips my shit when I hear people refer to them as Royal Guards. They are The Queens Guards. And the Head-dress is known as a Bearskin Cap.
As we used to say in the Army, "Attention to Detail" at all times.
@@CBTinstructor 'grips my shit' Yup! apart from the Squaddie-speak, of an 'oppo' you are correct where infantry regiments are concerned but the HAC (Those 'passive arrogants' who's 5ft 7 inch gunners look down on the tallest of Guardsmen) are the oldest unit in the British Army. I know very little about the Jersey Militia but I believe they are a couple of hundred years older than the HAC
Scrapgrace sorry mate you’re the idiot here the 12th century is the 1100’s 🤡🤡
Very ironic, calling him an idiot. Reminds me of a saying. You can see the sawdust in someone else's eye, but not the log in yours.
Der
no it doesnt start at 800 pounds per month its over a thousand i know i was a coldstream guardsman
the idiot got everything else wrong, why stick at just that one point. How did you like guards "Windsor Palace" and i defy ANYONE to find that on a map.
GravesRWFiA when he got that wrong I knew he was full of shit so fxxxed it off
Thanks for protecting the queen
Wow what an honor
Was the private conversation with the queen true?
Sorry mate but I need to correct you here. First of all it's not just the Guards that guard. Most Regiments do Palace duty. I was in the Royal Regiment of Artillery and I done 6 months on Palace duty. In fact the RAF and as from (I believe) start-mid 2018, the Royal Navy started doing Palace Duty. Horse Guards Parade is often guarded by the Kings Troop Regiment Royal Artillery. As for the "long pointy toes marching" well its called the Slow March and every single soldier learns it from Basic training until you..well leave the service. The band of the Guards are not the only band that does all Palace music. The Band of The Royal Regiment of Artillery (based also in London) do a huge number of functions for the Royals and external Functions. As for "we can't talk to the public" well yes that is true, to a certain extent. If you get touched or being surrounded by tourists or (as you said) they stand in front of you. We WERE allowed to shout VERY VERY LOUDLY "Stand Clear of the Queens Guard" or "Make way for the Queens Guards" even though we are allowed to shout, obviously if a child wants to stand close or in front of us, No we wouldn't shout. And trust me SO SO many people try to make you laugh while your stood guarding and yes there are some that make you smile, even break a little laugh, but you don't want to be caught, especially by the DSM (Drill Sergeant Major) if he catches you. Then expect a good few hours getting marched at 200 paces a minute over the road in the Guards Regimental Parade ground for 2-3hours..... Not pleasant 😂😂😂. Anything else you wanna know, just ask (within reason, and National security)
@Aiden Bulak I did
Aiden Bulak I read the first 2 sentences
@Aiden Bulak yeah sorry I know that you have difficulty with reading. Maybe I should have done it in pictures for you.
David Hunter wow u no a lot about the royal guards well done
@@yahindlefire5718 well I was in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, and as we deployed to Her Majestic homes and palaces. So it's all quite normal.

whats the difference?
@@oykuozer5624 how many bandsmen did you see playing a violin for example?
"The grey ones can kill you"
That's just winter dress mate
Also, just anyone can join the guards, even women. SA80 isn't a machine gun. There are 5 foot guards regiments it's not just 1, the oldest foot guards regiment is (officially) the Grenadiers, and was not formed in the 12th century. The button spacings denote the regimental order of precedence. Officers are made from Female brown bear skin, dyed black. There are some synthetic bearskins, but they are shite, and the bear population is heavily regulated so as not to allow an extinction. The slow march does hurt a little, but only mongs can't manage it, it's not hard.
They also missed out on other guards regiments: the horse guards. The Queens Guard is made up of both the household foot and horse guards regiments.
I replied to your comment in 2021 :)
Coldstream guards are the oldest nulli secundus 🔵🔴🔵
@@ahuman..3800 wow...
@@nutzgaming548 yeah cool
This is wrong on a lot of things. You can join the Guards straight from basic training.
Your wrong you are trainee guardsmen during basic training after passing out you join your chosen guards regiment
No You cannot
Sorry I had to stop watching soooooooo so many errors and false facts. Poor effort.
If you think there are errors now, just wait until the queen dies and Charles becomes King. All these posts about the "Queen's" guards will be out of date.
The guards will experience brain shock from the change in gender.
I'm sure they stopped making the hats out of bears a long time ago too.
Moxxi they still wear bearskin hats

I'm proud of my 14 years service as one of Her Majesties Grenadier Guards. It was an amazing point in my life and it's made me who I am today.
After 14 years, what was your rank?
@@OOFGOD-xu6lo Sergeant or Staff Sergeant or if he started as an Officer, Captain or Major.
One of the elite. I'm sure those years were filled with pride, learning and close friendships
Thank you for your service
Thank you for the service. Also I heard the guns are not loaded is it true. It's fine if you are not allowed to say
And shortly after 9-11, the band played the US National Anthem. Ordered by the Queen. God bless her!
She is kind and wholesome.
The fur is Canadian Black Bear. Not grizzly.
@Steve Saint Clair
Up to a point, enlisted wear a bearskin cap from black bears but officers wear bearskin caps from brown bears (they are then died black). So it is easy to see where any confusion may arise from.
@always ا love ل me م - Ali Imran Nikita Jouchims what is?
You are wrong! They no longer use bearskins for the hats. They are now made from synthetic materials! Bears should never have been killed for making hats in the first place! 😠🤨😡🇬🇧

@@windsormonarchist1096

Wow just wow. This is a fantastic example of someone creating a video with absolutely no research done at all. Not even a little.
I live in London and I have seen the Queen and she waved at me! That is the greatest honor for a British.
So lucky!
Are You sure She waved at You?lol
All of the film material is plagiarized from the bbc series “guarding the Queen” and no credits are given for copywrite purposes. This video should be taken down
not quite all but at least 85-90% of it is, totally agree
I served 3 years in the Coldstream Guards, they aren´t "The Elite" believe me! Para´s and Royal Marines are better fighting soldiers, being good at drill doesn´t make you an elite soldier.......
paraguard60 No but it does make you a disciplined one I’m sure you will agree and we need the best for Her Majesty.
Guards are the best of the hats tho, and the irish rangers
All guns are machines but not all guns are machineguns.

don't know who this bloke is but he hasn't done his research. just shows, don't believe everything on here!!!
Have u done ur reasearch too to prove that he is wrong
I’m guessing the creator of this video dint realize that black bears and grizzly are two different species. The queen’s guard hats are made of black bear pelts.
Officer's bearskins are made ftom brown bear skin dyed black, because apparebtly the pelts are fuller.
Not used real bear skin for years,officers “skins” are usually handed down from father to son,this video is mostly bollocks..
8:45 “and there it comes, the changing of the guard.”
*shows a clip from trooping the colour*
The "step of the guards" is called slow marching, and it's easy.
Cameron Jodoin true even I can do it
4 years in the Air Force Cadets. While it may seem easy to do, remember that you have to be looking forwards and not down at your feet, you had to do it in a special “flick and glide” motion as well as maintain 80bpm, staying in step with the others. Did I also mention that it starts to hurt after about a minute? For reference, their parades can go for hours.
Sorry but walking slowly in a straight line while looking forward is really not that hard. You could probably get it down in a couple of minutes so you look more fancy and I'm sure it doesn't get painful after a minute. If it does then its a problem with your legs, not the way you're walking.
Yeah,yeah... everything is easy
Hey random person scrolling
through the comments. I just want to say have a great day or night.

Thanks my guy.... YOUR great!
Your amazing especially as I’m experiencing homophobic comments recently!!!
Who cares. 😥
Thx ur nice
Used to stand guard at Edinburgh castle for 2 hours at a time...one guard would call out standby for a 4 beat patrol and both guards would march up and down for 4 lengths..got a bit boring after a while then my pal would shout out really fast and in his strong scottish accent that the tourist would never understand..."Stand by for 4 sausage rolls ...ROLL"... LOL..
They take a rest for 4 hours after standing for 2 hours
"Kif, send that to humour in uniform for me would you?"
@@alvinlo1667 also standing in spot for 2 hours is a pain in the back (id say ass but thats fine after 2 hours of standing)

Cry me a river bitchboy
True.
Maybe you should actually do propper research into the subject befiour releasing the video. You are so wrong. It's insulting
Like the Grenadiers being listed I suppose as the Monarchs Guards after the Civil Wars, after the Battle of Waterloo (why the bearskins are worn is especially)
4:04 "Dont touch him"
4:24 *hold his hands"
Clip taken from another documentary, "Guarding the Queen". The little girl is the Guardsman's sister.
Guys, don't believe this guy. My uncle is a Queens guard and he says that they where grey uniforms for the winter 😂
#wear
Maybe hes not talking about the uniform
All queens guards can kill. They are an extent of the queen. so if they are threatened, by extent, its a threat to the queen, so they can act accordingly.
Oh he’s talking about the uniform
I laughed so hard at that... My ex-husband was a Grenadier Guard and you are correct. Lol Also... MACHINE GUNS? This narrator doesn't know shit. And the "bear skins" are not made of actual "bear skins" any longer!
The thumbnail is fake. They only wear grey when its winter and they wear big fury hats (I belive) because of a sign of victory at waterloo or something where the napoleons guard was defeated and they was wearing big fury hats and so they took it as a symbol for victory and defeat of the guard.
@Ian Brown k then
Phoenix That is True. They wear The greatcoats in winter.
Coldstream guards
Believe*
@@allden8947 you're right, but your avatar is fucking lame and overused
The "ceremonial step" is called marking time and it's just marching on the spot, you get taught that in basic training for any regiment not just the queens guard. And the "pointy toes one" is slow marching, used in ceremonies and funerals... yet another thing taught in basic training
I believe it is Black Bear fur not grizzly which is typically brown. Also grizzly bears are not as common as the black bear.
its brown bear that is then died black my was dated 1848
correct.
I was told it is black bear
Not bear anymore replaced by synthetic years ago
They are regimental bands, not orchestras. Do some research
So much rubbish your just making up 50% of what you are saying
Never seen a video be soo wrong at once
tell us how it’s done then
@@shaggyurmom1800 there is already a comment explains what is wrong

@Jesus Defender Why should we, anyone who has served or has military knowledge knows so much stuff in the video is said wrong, we don't have to explain why or give you reasons why, just trust us, the ex service members/currently serving members and knowledgeable ones in such areas.
@@shaggyurmom1800 Let me point one out: This video portrays the Grenadiers as highly trained tactical special forces paratrooping demolition drive-by hand to hand expert marksmen, when really they are present at places like Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London for more Ceremonial reasons rather than "Protection".
Playing the Empire song eh? The British Strikes Back.

the rifle they use is called an SA80 not machine gun just to correct you
It can fire on full auto ergo it's a machine gun??
@@ianwoods2152 not full auto, sa = semi auto.
@@markwatkins8122 that's strange the SA80s I used had full auto available and the one I'm looking at now has R for repartition and A for Guess what automatic??
@@ianwoods2152 I guess I'm wrong then sorry. Just something I was told a long time ago.
@@ianwoods2152 That makes it a selective-fire assault rifle, not a machine gun. Machine guns are the big boys, from MG-42 to Ma Deuce.
In the British Army the guards define the drill movements of the British Army (except the light division and Gurkhas). Once adopted, a drill movement the movement is introduced to the rest of the Army.
The guards must introduce a drill movement for a weapon before a weapon is accepted in to general service (only really small arms)
Being a guardsman is the most British thing anyone could think off, Im joining the coldstream guards, and start my infantry training in less than a month. The history of coldstream guards dates back to 1776 (Oliver Cromwells first army) *extra fact*
Good luck and thanks
From the U.S.A. and I think the idea of a Queen is a bit strange, but how cool would it be to be one of the Queen's guard? I love my British brothers and sisters!

"The grey ones can kill you"
Well they can all kill me....
First of all the guards with the navy blue coats can’t kill you, that is just their winter coat
The gray guards *CAN KILL YOU* so stop changing the truth
it is their winter coat but they can all kill you and its grey
#1 They All Secretly Hide Foods
According to Paddington bear
Everyone in my army cadets made fun of "The grey ones can kill you"
I'm gonna put corrections below:
Pay in training: £15,671, rises to 20,000 with time. Officers get: £27,272 in training, that rises to £32, 780. In both instances, you get more and more pay the more you serve.
Someone I know is going into the Colestream guards and he's only 16 and going to AFC Harrogate. What usually is considered best of the best in the Army is Paras, SAS, or anyone else in the British Army Commandos.
While the guards occasionally have loaded guns, its generally the armed police who guard the Queen. The guards are ceremonial most times.
The gun they use is an assault rifle, specifically an L85 A2 (some have got the new L85 A3). The gun is only loaded when there is a threat. I believe that the guard usually stays in bearskins and all at night, just different people operate and there's always guards in normal uniform back in the base. The Scots guards were first. Formed in 1642. Then Colestream in 1650. Then Grenadier in 1656. Then Irish from 1900 and finally Welsh in 1915. I'm also surprised that this isn't copystriked because nearly every clip is used from the Gaurding the Queen documentary.
That really needs so much patience to be a royal guard
Correction:most of the guns are not loaded unless there is a high threat/rumor
rifle not gun. the artillery use guns
Correct but the bayonet is VERY real

" The best of the best" ????? I'm sorry where did you get that from ???....A Guardsman ??

Yes, the secrets they don’t want us to know. That’s why all this information is widely available to everyone with an internet connection
Trump just looked completely disinterested when "inspecting" the Guard. Talk about lack of respect. What an awful man.
Wrong in so many ways.to much to mention.
*Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone. :)*

The Guardsmen are highly trained and well respected throughout the British armed forces
Might be wrong but I think the grey costs are for the winter. Spring forwards are the red coats.
Correct,Red in Simmer,coats in winter and they are awful.
I hate to be the “but actually guy” but actually the weapons are never loaded unless there is a high threat
The whole thing is so inaccurate, why bother making it?
Agreed he is probably found this out like from a kid.
If they’re not drawn from:
• Royal Marines
• Paras
• SBS
• SAS
• Ghurkas

They're the best of the regular pongos
They *are* allowed to move. Every ten minutes or so, you may see a soldier going through the drill himself, tapping his feet, marching a bit up and down the aisle.
The gray ones are just the winter coat. The red one is for summer

LOOOL
Shaggy+ thanos + the guards furry hats= BREAKING NEWS THE UNIVERSE IS BROKEN
3 of my Uncles served in the Grenadier Guards and they all guarded the Queen. None of them were invited to a reception. The famous bearskin, made from the pelts of black bears culled by Native Americans in Canada, were adopted after Waterloo in 1815. The 1st Foot Guards held back the French Imperial Guard as the French attacked the British army position, while our Prussian allies attacked the rear of the French army. When the famed Imperial Guard broke, the British troops stole their Bearskin’s and taunted them. The Guards believed they had defeated the Grenadiers of the Guard - in fact it was the Chasseurs of the Guard - but the name stuck and so did the historic bearskins. Prior to this the Guards wore traditional British army shakos. The red coat is a relic of Cromwell’s New Model Army. Cromwell wanted his men to be uniform, to look the same, and would have probably have chosen a less showy colour. But red dye was cheapest and in true MOD style the cheapest contractor won. Each regiment of Guards has a distinctive number and layout of buttons in order of seniority. The Grenadiers are the most senior regiment of the British Army followed by the Coldstream Guards. The latter regiment is so named as they crossed the River Tweed from Scotland to assist in the restoration of Charles II although they had been a Parliamentary regiment during the Civil War. You can guess how warm the Tweed is! There are also the Scots Guards, the Irish Guards and the Welsh Guards, as well as the two cavalry regiments, the Lifeguards and the Blues and Royals. Each regiment has its own band - not an orchestra - with exceptionally high musical standards. The grey greatcoat worm by all is simply a winter overcoat, not a mark of seniority. In the 1950’s my uncles said their guns were not loaded, but they weren’t too bothered. The bayonets are real, and the British army last used them in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Guards are all regular, serving soldiers and a part of the British Army that can and has been deployed on active service from the Peninsula to Iraq. Ceremonial duties play a part but not the main part of their careers. My uncles, all over 6ft, all straight backed despite being in their 70’s, still speak proudly of guarding the Queen, and without hesitation they would have given their lives to protect her. I think they still would, to be honest.
Dude the queens guards playing music is from another video... and the marching is again another video

@@hannah.r6613 So what
this made me laugh so much because you are so wrong 'pointing there shoes' and you also copied

The Queens Guard is not a Regiment, but a single company of troops drawn from the British Army for ceremonial duties - mostly from the Guards Regiments, but not exclusively. The Parachute Regiment is considered the "elite" infantry of the British Army, not the Guards.
“machine guns” 😂😂
