    My son and his partner visited two years ago. He declined to take photos with the guards and horse as he said it was disrespectful to the guards. He comes from a family with a long line of military ancestors. I was so proud of them and my son’s attitude and respect for the guards.j

      @@PeterL-r6w The standard behaviour of tourists has dropped, dramatically. I live in Ireland and we have castles here from the times of King John [not sure they are all literally from then but they are known generally as King John's castles, nearly all of them]. I have seen guides having to stop tourists carving their initials in the stones because apparently they are just ''like the Disney castles'' so not real historical buildings which have been standing for 700+ years. I heard complaints because the portcullis and drawbridge on my local castle no longer works - ''why did they build them if they weren't going have them working for the tourists to see'' [in reality the ''river'' changed course and no longer flows around the castle]. Another, not one of King John's castles but more of a fortified tower, should have been built bigger and with proper stairs inside - they didn't like the old stone staircase which wound round the inside of the tower - when they built it.
      I'm pretty certain - from talking to the local historian and the OPW guides - that the tourists weren't this ignorant even 40 years ago. Now they seem to compare everything to Disney and assume that they were built to copy the Disney castles rather than that they really were built for a purpose [in this case it was to protect that part of the main ''route'' between Limerick and Dublin while the fortified tower-house was built to protect the local chieftain].
      Heck, where I lived up until a decade ago has a lovely church which was built a couple of centuries ago but which is attached to four towers. One goes back to around AD 500 and was built to protect the first monks from Viking raiders while the other four date back to the Tudors and have a number of tombs in them of prominent local families. Tourists are happy to despoil the outside, again often with graffiti as they are open to the public to walk past, if they take the keys and look around inside they are happy to drop litter as they walk around - hey, who cares about the McDonalds bags and drinks cartons they drop, they are only bits of stone after all, nothing important - and apparently they have even been caught trying to climb up to the entrance to the ''round'' tower - which was originally a lot higher up than it is now as the ground has risen over the past 1500 years - to get inside and see what it was like in there. Again, this is all relatively recent behaviour on the part of tourists according to the keyholder - who acts as litter warden and who know refuses to let the key be used without him being there because of their behaviour in the past - and it is the innocent, and those genuinely interested in the history of what is there, be it in England, Scotland, Wales or the entire island of Ireland, who are paying the price for the ignorant louts who seem to think that everything is simply Disney in another country ''because Disney built castles'' so of course, Europe had to copy Disney.
      I no longer live in a tourist area [well, horse racing tourists only] and I'm glad of it but it seems to be getting worse everywhere. I've heard tales from a friend of a friend who works at the Louvre, and the behaviour of some after the da Vinci code film apparently is beyond rational belief. They are everywhere, and most seem to think that everything is copied either from Disney or Hollywood, rational behaviour has flown out of the windows to be replaced with total ignorance. Sometimes I really do wish they would simply stay away.
