Date filmed: Today, 23 October 2024. DID YOU KNOW? The King’s Life Guard is conducted by soldiers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. Horse Guards is named after the troops who have mounted The King’s Life Guard here since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660. The ceremony has remained mostly unchanged for over 350 years. Changing of The King's Life Guard The ceremony of changing of the King’s Life Guard starts at 11am with the Old Guard formed up on Horse Guards Parade. As the New Guard arrives, a trumpeter sounds a royal salute and the officer salutes. The New Guard forms up facing the old one. Once both lines are still, the corporal major, senior non-commissioned officer and sentries of the New Guard (the first relief) rein back their horses and leave for the guard room to take over their duties, which lasts for 48 hours. The sentries from the Old Guard return to the parade ground and the entire Old Guard returns back to barracks. When the monarch is in London, there is a ‘long guard’ consisting of an officer, corporal major (who carries the regimental standard), two non commissioned officers, a trumpeter and 10 troopers. When the monarch is away, the guard is reduced to two non-commissioned officers and 10 troopers known as a ‘short guard’. Whatever the season or weather, members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ride down from Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge to take over guard duties. TIMINGS OF DUTIES The Guard Change currently takes place on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am. The two iconic soldiers on horses that mount duty on Whitehall at the entrance of Horse Guards change on the hour every hour from 10am until 4pm. This ensures that, regardless of the time you choose to visit the museum, you are guaranteed a captivating spectacle of ceremonial duties in progress. The King’s Life Guard is the name given to the guard duty performed by The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. It dates from 1660 when The Life Guards mounted a permanent guard at the entrance to Whitehall Palace. Responsibility for mounting the guard alternates between The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals. An inspection at Hyde Park Barracks decides which ‘relief’ a soldier will do: the smartest will carry out his duty on his horse and the least well turned out will do longer duties on foot.

Thank you for this brief overview of the King's Guards, and also, for giving the date this was filmed. I'm so glad the police are quick to intervene when tourists are rude and inappropriate towards the Archway Standing King's Guards.
The man 5:51 was extremely RUDE, DISREPECTFUL and HATEFUL for the his actions regarding the guard!! HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF, AS HIS WIFE SHE MOST LIKELY WAS!!!
Fair comment. I totally agree. They are soldiers & trained to deal with unpleasantness but in that environment there are limits. I wouldnt have the patience to deal with those disrespectful idiots.
it has to be overwhelming for the guard. Sitting up there looking out at a sea of people all wanting to crush in on you. People have lost their manners and feel that everything is there for their taking, It is very sad. Please just be respectful. Why is that so difficult? Social media is a big reason. in my opinion!
Please don't always show that the guards are supppse to babysit the tourists by telling them to get off the box. The guards are working and its not really good to show how they can't enforce the rule and how these tourists make them look like they are weak and not in control don't focus on that white line just so many will comment... We want people to respect the guards maybe we should also show respect by not showing too much of te guards reaction towards the tourists fooling around doing stupid things just to take pictures... You are there you can make a difference show these people how important the duties of the King's guards so that they will be respected by all the visitors from around the globe..... You can do it by not just standing there and taking the video of the guard not enforcing the rule or being ignored by the tourons. Please be mindful of your videos and what you are trying to let your viewers see. Im from Asia but I really love the british tradition and the soldiers who tries their best to perform their duties. I always watch your videos and appreciate you so much. But use your medium to promote respect.... Thank you and stay safe.
I respect your opinion and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. By showcasing tourist incidents at Horse Guards, we can raise awareness of appropriate visitor behaviour and contribute to a more respectful and enjoyable experience for everyone. The King's Guard are not just ceremonial, they are fully trained soldiers. When tourists break the rules, it is entirely the tourists' fault. I do not see the King's Guard as weak for that. I see that they understand their job description better than anyone and know when to react and when not to react to tourists. They don't need UA-camrs to intervene in their jobs, they have soldiers and armed police officers to help them when needed.

Thank you for the time stamps. I wish others would provide these. It's very helpful so I don't miss anything.
Thank you for this brief overview of the King's Guards, and also, for giving the date this was filmed. I'm so glad the police are quick to intervene when tourists are rude and inappropriate towards the Archway Standing King's Guards.
Thank you.
The man 5:51 was extremely RUDE, DISREPECTFUL and HATEFUL for the his actions regarding the guard!! HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF, AS HIS WIFE SHE MOST LIKELY WAS!!!
Never seen such a stupid man, he was insulting the whole UK.
What a rude, arrogant guy. What is he laughing about, his impudence?
Fair comment. I totally agree. They are soldiers & trained to deal with unpleasantness but in that environment there are limits. I wouldnt have the patience to deal with those disrespectful idiots.
