I was admiring the guys that was doing a painting of the royal guard! It was beautiful!!
Yes you are right. I noticed it too and frankly quite impressed by the quality of the artwork in progress.
Yes its a very good painting
Just wanted to say that yes it was as well the other ones ❤️
I thought it was annoying as heck. Why didn't he just buy a postcard, take it home and paint there?
Wow, me too! ❤ Amazing talented man!
I'm From The Untied States And I Love Watching These I Have The Most Respect For Each and Everyone Of Them God Bless Them♥️♥️😊
They are elite troops as well, fought in Afghanistan, tourists are absolute muppets!!!
I'm American as well and I love watching this channel. I respect each and every one.
I’m also from the U.S., and am just flabbergasted that people just boldly March up and expect the guard and horse to stand “just so” for their photographs, with absolutely zero thought as to WHY the guards are there or WHAT their history is. These buffoons act like they are no different than any other souvenir and petting zoo all rolled into one.
I don’t mind the folks who ask first, stand without touching, and say a proper thank you, but all those hands and fingers poking at those poor horses is just horrific. I’ll bet making people stand in a proper que and charging £20 per photo/pet would thin out a bunch of that foolishness!!
US here too, would never think of getting near these guard. Tourists are so stupid!
Eu sou do Brasil e tenho educação suficiente para saber que esses guardas e os cavalos estão trabalhando e que respeito é bom e faz bem.
How patient these wonderful men and their horses are. Surely crowds are getting out of control. Respect.
Are the Turing May
Are the tirips😅😊
The Army leadership can be very inept at looking after soldiers welfare and working conditions. It's their fault. They could stop all this nonsense.
The horses are trained
There are so many dumb tourists, all in one place unfortunately. Tourist attractions people are taking pictures of the stupid tourists.
Fast forward to September 2023..the tourists are no better.. probably getting worse, which is very worrying! 🤔
For goodness sake, its not a petting zoo, these are our wonderful guards and real horses, not animatronics - give them space and definitely give them respect
American military Iwould not allow this . Zero toleration
I wish we wouldn't tolerate it either.
Not counting spread of international Sickness to the horses. Thanks from Texas USA
@999gothchick...Lo que diera x estar ahí aunque sea x un segundo q maravillos soldados reales ...solo me deleito viéndolos x youtube....Soy de Perú y de condición humilde 😔.
Should Not be allowed to touch the horses
Just when you think the tourists couldn't get any more stupid, they are actually barring the way for the horses to get into their guard posts! Don't they know these guards are on duty?
I don't think the majority even realise that they're real soldiers!
Obviously not. They think it's Disneyland and the Guards are only paid actors not real members of the King's Troops and that is their workplace.
@@rosiehunt8491 You are right, sadly . . .
They moved, didn’t they? That first lot.
@@stevetaylor7403 Sure, but who in their right minds are going to stand in the doorway to the horse's box and block it?
Put up barriers to keep distance between idiots who think it is a petting zoo and is ok to abuse the horses and disrespect the guards!
that would be DANGEROUS TO THE HORSE and rider.
If tourist's continue to disrespect, they should stop the tours and definitely put up a rope or something like that barrier.
@@jadziadax5365 stupid idea, never put a rope in front of a horse
No, you’re missing the point; soldiers working close with the public and being dominant when required = training and showing off the UK as as a GREAT country!
Abusing the horses??? If there's any abuse it's what they are being forced to do all day. Those kids aren't guarding anything! The police stationed all over the grounds there are.
I agree. It bothers me when they gang up on the horse and get into his space. They should realize he’s doing his job and respect the Guard too.
When will all tourist realise these are working real soldiers and horses and be more respectful .
When somebody gives them a good kick up the backside.
Tourist's are idiots and they will NEVER Learn.
When they do the work of a soldier.
I don’t understand why they allow tourists beyond the gate or even near the guards. They should be admired from a distance. The guards and horses are highly trained and deserve more respect than they receive from such rude tourists.
Exactly, I very said this time and time again, why oh why are those tourists allowed to touch the horse constantly, and be so close,and some people with their children are unbelievable how close,they even push their kids towards the horse,NO respect,concerned Commonwealth citizen.
Look at 2:34. It's 3 horses asses taking pics of another horses ass.
É muita estupidez e desrespeito
This has to be some kind of record for the number of the dumbest tourists together at one time and place. And the best part was how totally clueless they were about it.
It seems guards aren’t allowed to yell at tourists anymore, bring it back!
@@michdoug1 absolutely agree . They are soldiers first , ceremonial second . Whoever decided to take away our guards’ voices has made a big mistake . And to see how fast the ‘police’ get to soldiers who break this new rule , goodness only knows whether they are admonishing them , even by a soldier ‘s movement to show they won’t be disrespected, is laughable .
Tourists who laugh and jeer at our guards while carrying out their duties are allowed to continue to do so by the police
Even the areas where the constables shooed them aside, they still meandered about mindlessly.
@NattieChristopher We don't have national service in the UK. It ended in the late 1950's or early 1960's.
@NattieChristopher if anyone threatens Horse guards or the individual on Guard, they're not ceremonial. . . They can and WILL use their training and be the soldiers they are.
Never! Sorry. Common sense never occurs to them. Love the guards, horses, and police. Tourists are crazy! 😂❤❤
Youre perfect,I take it
These painters are doing beautiful work on the guards, they are so talented. ❤
A calming vibe with the painters around, very nice indeed!!
Always nice to see the changing of the guards! May your hour be hassle free and your mounts behave! It would be respectful to thank the mounted guard!
As far as the tourists are concerned, it's Disney Land.
I'm guessing the guy with the camera is the same tourist who said: 'Gee, we love your Windsor Castle, but why did you build it so close to a Heathrow flight path?'
Lol.....probably the very same !!!!
God bless you all you are all a credit to this country xxx❤❤❤
the guards must dread having this assignment, more like punishment for bad behavior.
Whether they are a mounted sentry or on foot they do the duty with pride. I served in the Blues and Royals, I loved both posts aswell as deployments
The Household Cavalry will probably use this as future training for "peacekeeping" duties in places like Iraq where they would operate armoured reconnaissance vehicles (Tanks) in rural/built up areas where winning hearts and minds of the local civilian populations is more important than the gung-ho theatrics of some Armies.
UA-cam, " Lt Col Tim Collins true speech in Iraq", recited by Kenneth Branagh. Different Tank Regiment but exactly the same ethos.
You are so right!
I know we get a lot of income from Tourism, but I really find the actions of these Dumb Trashy people very upsetting!
Like US marines assigned to Biden’s White House, they have a cushy job there but most have tried to get out of it.
People crack me up.😂 Posing for a pic and pointing at the horse, as if anyone looking at the pic won't notice the huge animal standing there. 🤣😂
These men are actual guards - soldiers. They should never be cordoned off. They have a job to do.
The ACTUAL guards are the armed police. The drawn sabers are just for show as is the polished armor. Whenever there is any threat of trouble, the "guards" and their horses are hustled inside and the armed police deploy. These splendidly uniformed soldiers are there for tradition and to perform a very important function: to please the British People and the visitors who come to see ancient military splendor on display. People certainly don't come to the UK and London for the weather.
WTF a job to do!!!! Got to be kidding. This a show of pure hatred toward the citizenx, summit and obey or we'll crush you like cockroaches...
@@oldgeezerproductionsthey aren’t just for show they are active soldiers !
@oldgeezerproductions To be exact, Horse Guards Parade has two official functions. One, it's the Formal Entrance to both St James Palace and Buckingham Palace. Secondly, it's the Headquarters of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment. Thus, because of the military importance, that's why there are Met Police officers present, just as there are along that stretch of Whitehall, protecting other vital Military, Government & Political related properties. It's a hugely protected part of London, a fact of everyday security in London.
@@Gmjd64 They are indeed part of the Active Duty forces of the U.K., but their armor, their horses, their polished helmets, their traditional uniforms and their glittering sabers are simply to provide visual continuity with a glorious past and absolutely NOT for present day security. You will NEVER see one of these splendidly uniformed and equipped horsemen charge a crowd or respond to a threat with their sabers, they are there for the show of the splendor of days gone by, even if otherwise, they serve in the British Army and are trained in modern weapons and modern warfare.
Where else in the world would artists be given so much access and stupid tourists be allowed to create havoc. I feel so sorry for the guardsmen and horses who have to put up with ignorant behaviour.
The artists are working for the guards. They’re there officially to paint portraits of the Horseguards.
@@ragland9658 have you any evidence of that? Or just guessing?
The artists are doing no harm!
@@paulgraham3012
Not guessing.
‘Boxman' by Rob Pointon ROI, Household Cavalry Artist in Residence. 15.0...
ua-cam.com/video/Jjxf8BDZ-R8/v-deo.html
actually the artist are not paid nor are hired to paint. These artists who gift each & everyone of the soldiers a portrait of them. These artist do these in their own time as a way of relaxing. There is one these clips where the artist says it gives him pleasure to give a memorable thank you.
Never understood why there is a need to take a picture with one hand on the horse.
I cannot believe the rudeness of people. One day because of it, barriers will have to be put in place, then everyone will lose out because of the stupidity of the few.
Well let’s be honest it’s the stupidity of LOTS of people. 🤪
The sooner the better barriers for the horses
Why do they think their hand has to be on the horse for the picture. They look so stupid😊
It's not a few is it, it's non stop
Did those tourists think that space was reserved just for them while everyone else stood elsewhere.
Love the bloke painting, he knows what's going on. Waits patiently and starts painting again. 😅
Lovely to see the artist
Why was that allowed What part of can you get out of the way please does he not understand Where did he think the horse was going
My question exactly!
You have to allow for seniors of a certain age.
beautiful job ! you make us brits proud
Well some of us ! Shame they don’t always get the respect they deserve !
May God bless and keep you all safe, hats off to these brave fighting men you make me so proud, to be British By birth and English by the grace of God, those dozy bloody tourists have no clue of your incredible history and patriotism. From 1749 and before it must have made others proud too and really warms my heart that the Household cavalry are still such a proud bunch of officers and men.
You shouldn't generalise and demean tourists like that,how perfect are you,?They're there because they're interested,no?
What a nice thing to see someone painting the guard. It would be nice if he gave it to the guard!
But which guard…there were two of them?
I believe they paint the pictures for tourists to buy; it's a good place to attract customers!
Idiots are loose I see!😂😂😂 why oh why are there so many idiots that the guards and horses have to put up with…?? Good filming.🐶💕🥰❤️👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
My mum always says, you can't cure stupid!
If there was a threat how the hell could the guards get through this lot?
It seems to me these guards actually do need to yell because if they don’t, how will people be able to move quickly out of the guards way?
They need to yell to be heard above the general hubbub of tourist chatter.
Yes especially if they don't see them,unfortunately we can't all be perfect
DAMN.. it's a shame they can't YELL at idiots ☹
They can. They do. Idiot tourists have a choice, move or get marched over. If they're lucky, they get a warning roared at them first 😈
It's infuriating tho. Can you imagine these people treating their own military like that? These are working soldiers but they get treated as sideshows. I used to live near Windsor, and it does get highly entertaining when some muppet teasing the funny tin soldier suddenly realises they are very real, they are GUARDS, and said muppet gets flattened into the tarmac because no, posing for pictures is not their priority.
I do wonder about the brain power of some tourists tho. The horses are gigantic, common sense would dictate keeping your distance.
Oh but they do
Shame they charge at them as well 🤣
@@randomhumanoidblob4506 ... guess you haven't noticed the past week or two that the GUARDS have stopped yelling, it's because they have been told no more yelling... maybe you haven't noticed 🙄
@@Maggy47 .. But they haven't for nearly two weeks it's because they have been told no more yelling... guess you haven't noticed 🙄
The painting of thr gaurd is great.
Fantastic right! 👏
Haven't finished the vid yet, but it would be wonderful if the painter gave the painting to the guard at the end. Then the guard. donated it to his regiment to be hung on the wall and viewed by many young squaddies passing by for years to come
I doubt that the painter would've been allowed to directly approach and interacted with the soldier . He would've been screamed at.
Hope the artist shows that wonderful paintig to the guard.
Brilliant right! 👏
You cannot directly interact with the guards while they're on duty. C'mon, tourists need to do better and know the rules.
Amazing painter
One of the Big problems, where Safety is concerned, is that the very nature of tourists on holiday, is , they can be Distracted at any, or all of the time. Give tourist knowledge of the Routines here, and more Advice, and hopefully they may even be thankful, and therefore only too willing to co operate, if it means they are not likely to be knocked over by Soldiers or Horses. Also they would be more aware of horses behaviour, and be more gentle and less intrusive with Horses.
Think it's about time to put cordons up..and keep tourists out of the way..These are Soldiers guarding this property and should now be better protected..Too many disrespectful folks out there..🇬🇧
ind
the problem seems, this to protect aera has no protection.
do you honestly think that all those guards and horses would be there if it wasn't for tourism? I don't think they mean to be disrespectful don't forget that people come from all over the world to see the kings guard and are not always aware of the do's and dont's - and I'm fairly sure if they wanted all that they would do it not because wendy on youtube suggested it sorry but 🤷♀ do you not think the guards know what to expect and how to deal with it? plus they do have the armed police just in case someone gets proper silly
@@Jointtaskforcex1
This has been going on for many years. The tourists have nothing to do with it.
you want to cordon of a tourist attraction? makes no sense to me.
Respect Respect Respect whilst we're visiting His Majestys Grounds .
Their arms must really ache holding the sword up like that for that amount of time!
I’m an American who for reasons of work spend my summers in England. I have seen the most disrespectful, outrageous breeches of common decency. I’m so ashamed of the behavior of my countrymen. My accent gives me away but each year before I leave I pin a Maple Leaf emblem on my jacket and proudly confess to being a Canadian if asked.
😂😂
Bless you! 😁
Enjoy your summers here. Take care.
As a Canadian born and raised… please don’t.
Don’t worry, rudeness and ignorance goes across all classes ,races and nationalities. I have many good American friends and like you would be horrified also. Chin up
Love the painting 👍
I would buy that painting of the King's Guard.
So good right!! 👏👏👏
All the pouf and ceremony is delightful. I love it. And they all look so beautiful. Wonderful tradition.
That painting was gorgeous of a gorgeous guard❤❤❤🐴🐴🐴
Put up a barrier that the public are NOT ALLOWED past but that the horse and guard can move through if need be, in this day and age it should be possible, anything to stop this ridiculous petting and invasive treatment of the horses and guards. ❤❤
The horses are so professional.
The very strongest of soldiers and horses must be assigned to these positions because the tourists can be highly annoying.
Highly ???
More like extremely.
Tolerance is a virtue
I know it won't cover all tourists, but why don't they airlines put a segment in their info commercials explaining what not to do around the guards in London.
It might cut down on some of these incidents.
in how many languages? over 250 languages spoke in LONDON.
It's a start
This makes me miss my father. He was also a painter. 😢
Bless him
❤️ Ester Arney
Love the guards and horses
It's not too long ago, we were too scared to touch anything without smothering our hands in sanitizer! How quickly we forget. The horses are part of the King's Guard, not exhibits at a petting zoo! Give the Guards, the horses and their duty the respect they deserve. It's so damned, bloody rude to stand in the way of the Guards, requiring the Guard to shout for you to make way. The archway is not a thoroughfare to walk through when it is open for the Changing of the Guards. Imagine being this disrespectful at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, USA?
Love the plein air painters. Subject remaining still for a long time helps in the figure painting.
Stunning horses and guards ❤❤❤
Good painting
The only thoughtless tourist in the video I find forgivable is the older couple. I really don't think they knew they were in the way. As soon as the officer told them, they moved to get out of the way apologizing the whole time. I think, they are the only people I've seen apologizing for their actions. That is why they are forgivable.
Yes people are so intolerant, and no-one is perfect themselves
Wow that guys painting of that guard is brilliant
Wonderful right! 👏
That person doing the painting is doing an amazing job I hope that he sells it to someone that’s great full to own it
People need to realize they have a job to do ,respect the guards and horses
The oil on board of the Guard is amazing!!!
Fabulous artist.
Absolutely!
🙄 Oh my God, such lack of awareness. Insane.
King's guards are hot AF. 🔥💪🏻
Who are the Artists, they're fantastic.
Wonderful right! 👏
The palace should authorise a sign saying do not touch or hinder horses a fine will be issued
This is Horseguards . Nothing directly to do with the Palace.
The footguards at Buckingham Palace have been behind the fence for years ,because of the crazy tourists. No these troopers have been guarding their Regimental HQ for 380 years.
what a lovely horse at the end.
American visitor's question to tour guide at Edinburgh Castle: ''Why did you have to build it so high up? You should have taken tourists into consideration when it was built.'
Reminds me of another tourist question - about Windsor Castle. "Why did they build it so close to London airport"?
@@johnmillar2818 Terrible lack of foresight!
Or again about Edinburgh Castle - why did they build it so close to the railway station 😂
Edinburgh Castle again - Why did they build it in the middle of the city? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@shirleyanneyoung955 🤣
Usually i find it somewhat funny to see what level of none sense these people can reach, but tbh this time i felt irritated in both cases. I don't think it's the same for the guards, i think they are well used to it by now and that they shouted just to have a more effective and quicker impact...and it worked indeed. Now, not anymore of course.
Is English your second language? #nonsense
@@superyachtchef Alternatively... Poor educational standards.
@@moyaingram7166 well, you might say that but I couldn't possibly comment. 😆
@superyachtchef6603 "The pen is mightier than the sword" ... Deo Gratias 😎🙄
@@moyaingram7166 I learnt it at school, so you guessed right, eventually it's a matter of poor educational standards.
Imagine being that old guy and seeing yourself in a UA-cam video titled "dumbest tourist ever." But I don't think he's being disrespectful, he's just an old guy who was standing in the wrong spot. I see a kiosk selling royal themed items and a sign pointing to the museum and gift shop. They are catering to and encouraging tourism, so you will get a lot of tourists and some of them will stand in the wrong place by accident.
The armed officers should be stricter towards the tourist during the changing of guards. Some tourists are ignorant and stubborn and they only think about taking pictures or videos of the event without paying attention that the guards are all on duties and not to be there for display.
they have zero powers with the general public, they are MOD police and the guards are there for display, they are a tourist attraction.
Yes but not everyone is perfect,with it and on the ball,are you?
Love the painting of the guard
Absolutely great right! 👏
Something different thank you for this 👍

Yes, definitely a new edition for the HGP 🪴
The painting by the gentleman in the white fedora and glasses is amazing! I would love to have it.❤❤❤
I would love to see more of the artist's work. Exquisite!
A full review should be carried out and excluding tourists from areas behind gate and barriers to keep them away from Guards and horses should be imposed.
do tourists automatically become stupid when they step off the aeroplane?
These people behave as though these soldiers are Disney land replicas. The disrespect is appalling
This is a huge, powerful animal, albeit a well-trained one. How dare they?
Stupid tourist standing in front of the box and blocking it trying to take a photo while the Gaurd was performing his duty.
Nice painting.
I was shouting at the screen…leave the horses alone! 🤬
Outstanding painting
Tourists treated it like it’s bloody Disneyland! 😡
The elderly man did not know the horse was to go under the arch. He was sweet and appreciative, acknowledging the rider. As soon as he realized, he hurried out of their way. No need to be mean. Remember some people have dementia tho im not saying he might have.
Yes, exactly true ......
Beautiful painting! AND they are the best soldiers in the British Army. I read it, so it is true! And the best looking!
Love all the artists
That painting is brilliant , I wish that the artist could give me lessons. It deserves a place in the palace.
senior brain! 🤣🤣 but i give tha man grace...did u see him wave & smile? he had no idea what he was doing was wrong. there are rude people & there are people who make an innocent mistake. not dumb.
100 % agree with you.
No I'm sorry, but I reckon I'm older that he is and he was standing directly in front of an open door, with a 16 hand horse coming towards you with a guard dressed up etc., etc., I think he knew exactly what he was doing as did the people with him. I;m not saying he was rude, but like a lot of elderly people I suspect he thought he could get away with it.
Oh dear oh dear.seems we elderly people are trying to be naughty.another one that thinks we boomer's trying it on because were old.what did someone say once ?oh yes it was we shouldent be here.well i hope when your of this certian age that you enjoy the level of disrespect that we have to put up with and get blamed for just about everything.believe me your time will come.
I've seen other videos where they grab the harness, to have their photos taken. How disrespectful and stupid can they be. Feel sorry foe the riders and the horses.
I really don't think tourists should be allowed to mill around inside blocking the archways and marching routes - dealing with these clueless selfish people must make the job horrible for both guards and horses
First there is an old guy, standing in front of the entrance to the Archway, waving at the soldier with a stupid smile on his face while he takes a photograph; and there is a silly old lady who doesn’t get out of the way, drops her stuff in the ground and laughs like it’s so funny. I despair for humanity when I see fools like this.
It's fine and sweet,
when the tourists
gently stroke the
horse, so that it
doesn't jump or flinch☺️.
🐴🇬🇧💕🐴🇬🇧
But , on balance, I really
wish people wouldn't touch
the horses....
It's not a Petting Zoo....
🇬🇧🐴💕☺️🐎💕🇬🇧
Just had an idea ! Inspired by the conifers in tubs, inside the square, behind the boxes :
Potted shrubs ! So the public couldn't reach the horses.
I just Can't believe that STUPID Guy Done that. He put he's hand up did he really think that the Guard 💂 was going to stop whilst he took a picture? Unbelievable. That Guy's painting was just Amazing ♥️
A wild moment! And yes, a wonderful painting indeed. 🙏
No he unwittingly made a mistake,be more tolerant!
Can anyone let us know what's being done to keep both horses and guards hydrated during the hour they are standing in this heat please?
Hydrate before, hydrate after. Think they’ll manage an hour. Maybe rehydration salts.
People should understan that being on holiday does not mean you can ignore good manners nor that other people have to pardon everything. These men are soldiers on duty, and it's only thanks to their training and intelligence that a lot of accidents are avoided. Maybe tourist should stay on planned paths that prohibits them to get too close to the guards
Why does EVERYONE have to put their hand on the horse!!
The Guards must really hate the tourists.
Well I know I do.
Stop tourism, watch your economy do an even deeper dive. You Brits sure have an entitled attitude. You're not better than the rest of the world. Your monarchy is riddled with disgusting scandals & right now your nation is obsessed with Philip Schofield.
@@iap-ug3oy Me Too
The police need to be stricter with these dumb idiots where did that stupid man think the horse was going waving at it wasn't going to help and it was that womans fault she got knocked on the arm. who did she think he was talking too. Need a policeman on the sentry doors or that nice guard who came out before it is obvious that these people just see an opening and walk through the horses muck without a thought. Well done to the guard on the horse and his calm approach. Those two artists are capturing the guards beautifully,
