I feel so sorry for those wonderful Guards who have to put up with all this crap from people who think he’s just there for their photo shoot! I’m betting they have so many stories to tell among themselves when off duty!
They should have barriers to prevent stupid gits from getting too close to The Kings Guard and King's Horses 🐎 and it is just not fair to expose them to the general public.
@@carminemurray6624 As someone who worked with the general public, I agree. Much of the general public can't be trusted. Not so much because all or most are creeps or w/e, but moreso carelessness and a lack of awareness. Like I just watched a couple vids where some people will touch a guard's horse or reins, when there's a clear sign nearby warning that the horse may get violent if disturbed. I don't think they were trying to provoke or abuse the horse, just that there's some carelessness and lack of situational awareness.
Oh that darling little toddler 🥰. I think even the guard had a moment when he looked down. You could see the expression on his face change for a second 🥰.
I think that most of the guards show a lot of restraint and the members of the public are quite respectful on the whole but there is always some arsehole who's got to see what they can get away with.
@@folkme3042 I agree the British Royal guards that I've seen on YT do show a lot of self-control and patience. It must be very difficult, even if they are used to it, to keep calm in certain situations, such as people standing too close. However, in the video, I disagree that public as whole is respectful. Granted, they don't try to provoke or abuse him, and I hear some of the public defending the guards or calling out the bad tourists' stupid behavior. But I think most of them crowd around him too close and are being inconsiderate that he's on-duty guard. I know many want they want to snap a quick pic or 2, and it may be hard to get him in the picture. But that just shows those who are thinking of their pics in the moment, not of how the guard may feel or his duties. Granted, dealing with tourists come along with his duties, but that doesn't mean tourists can't be more considerate and fair to others. For me, taking pictures of the guards individually is a bit creepy, as they can't consent (regardless of legal, more moral ground) and are being treated as if they're objects for a pic by just taking a pic w/o consent. I'd say events are different, such as parades, because there's a reasonable expectation of it being filmed due to it being a special event.
@@kartosenlitminey Take another look they laugh at the kings guard.Try to grab the reins of the horse wont leave the horses alone.Tease the horse.Some are respectful but others not
@@Mounhas He's more than tolerant and patient with these tourists who come way too close. (Idc if it's because they're trying to get him in the viewfinder or whatever other excuses.) Yes, a part of his job is dealing with tourists, but he also has a right to his personal space and freedom to express himself while respecting his duty. Crowding around him w/o consent is intrusive, not to mention inconsiderate if he needed to react to a safety threat.
3:30 It's so nice to have someone to look up to, and you know the Guardsman knows he is being idolized in that moment. Good on him for being a symbol of honor and discipline and masculinity for young boys and girls.
Years ago, the guards and horses were passed by with respect and admiration by the tourist. Now, the tourist walk around like a bunch of roaches expecting the guards to get out of their way!
I think it would be perfectly reasonable to implement a 6' minimum "social distancing" rule around the guards and the horses. People can still get their pictures without oozing all over other living beings.
My heart goes out to the guards who are forced to put up with this indignity over and over again for their entire shift. At least in this video, a few people said thanks before walking away; that doesn't normally happen. The little boy at the end of the video showed the most respect, though, in my opinion.
I could only watch 50secs worth. I feel so sorry for this poor soldier. This is NOT what he joined the armed services for. I wish they would keep those fecking tourists far back from these poor guards.
Those guards are amazing, I don't think I could put up with what they have to do. The public don't realise that these are highly trained professional soldiers, God bless them, greetings from Australia.
@@je-freenorman7787who on earth are you talking to. If you look I didn't mention mention anything about being in public. I corrected a spelling and wrote one word. Wind your neck in and ensure you reply to the correct person next time.!!
The young woman in the smart white jacket showed how it’s done. She left a sensible gap between herself and the guard and no moronic posing. Well done young lady.👍
he's thinking its easy to put up a sign saying don't touch the horse or gaurds they're not toys or this is not disney land yet people who are well aware of this apparently are ok with this
If this what humanity looks like I don't want to be part of it I would prefer to be in my own little island that was once called Britain and meant something I'm not so sure now
The patience of this man. Incredible. This should be the final practical exam of anger management courses. Stand there for an hour with a sword while tourists treat you like a phone box. If you can do that you, you pass.
I feel sorry for that Chinese guy at 2:13 - obviously not a sophisticate and unfamiliar with the English concept of personal space. My sneering wife (who considers herself a Shanghai sophisticate) says he looks like a bumpkin from North Jiangsu Province. I hope he enjoyed the rest of his visit.
The tourists all look like they shop Wal-Mart.. They act like the guard is a prop and they have no respect for the horses who could easily kick them across the Thames.
I Have been watching countless videos ( beginning with Mounted Guards men ) This one here HIT HOME I Guess ... first time I'm Really Thinking just what Goes through these Poor guards minds.. I mean You are Standing there STILL and You have countless people taking Picture after picture,, and I am Thinking How many Must smell ... I mean You get a Woman That Over did Her Perfume and You have to put up with it.. Really think they need to put up Boundaries !
It would be nice to hear a thank you-I don't know how the Guards find the patience. They are very disciplined and a credit to Britain but I think they should get more respect from the public who wouldn't know discipline if it bit them!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Treat the poor guard as if he’s some kind of object to be used for their pics. At least give him more space and consideration that he’s an on-duty guard! I’m sure if there’s an emergency, they’d likely rely on him to do something. I also don't care who you are, where you're from, what language you speak, etc. And while there are different social etiquette and traditions regarding touching others, personal space and personal freedom of expression are universal concepts, especially around strangers.
I wish think how amazing is that youngsters. And that tiny toddler in an orange jumper have The sense to keep their distance from the guards. Whereas the adults stupidly go up and lean on them as if they're statues. Weird world
I hate how these guards are treated like a tourist attraction. There should be a limit to how close you can get. They are there to do a job not entertain tourists
I think it is unfair to put the guards in that position.
That is his post..the fact the public are there too is incidental. But I know what you mean...
Its unfair for the public to be so presumptuous.
They are just dumb dogs anyway. They deserve no respect
What, standing up?
@@Yumbutteredsausage Up in the pyramid? Where are you?

@@carminemurray6624 the problem with that is they then become more like exhibits than working guards.
It's their job description are paid well.
Aww, the tiny boy at the end, carefully sideling up closer was adorable and had more sense and respect than 90% of the adults.
mom was a bit ignorant tho saying "he's not gonna bite you like a horse" ffs lady
Oh that darling little toddler 🥰. I think even the guard had a moment when he looked down. You could see the expression on his face change for a second 🥰.
Wow. The first tourist stood at a respectful distance and said "Thank you" to the guard. How unusual.
Nice one Guard! 👍
What is wrong with people breaking someone's personal space! 😠
Some people just haven't got a clue!😠

The toddler shows more respect than most of the tourists!
I couldnt agree more
In what sense? Tourists aren't disrespecful
@@kartosenlitminey Take another look they laugh at the kings guard.Try to grab the reins of the horse wont leave the horses alone.Tease the horse.Some are respectful but others not
No permissions, no apologies and no thank you's. 😡
They were not even show respects for themselves, why would you expect they do those.
So so cute the teeny weeny boy at the end.
Calm down Martha it’s just a kid…
@@shanichamachan6036 Who is Martha?
These guards have more patience than I do, for sure.
One of my favourite guards, no messing and that’s how it should be, “Personal space people it’s not difficult “

This is not a privilege for the guards, it’s a torment-they must hate it.
This kind of stuff is exactly why I hate working with the public, and I don't.
This is the handsome guard when on horse he gives the boot when they get to close elbow was funny luv this guard he also has sexy deep voice 💂♂️💂🤣🤣😍
Good for you. Personal space while doing your duty is priceless.
A box should be painted on the pavement for a guard to stand in that the tourists are required to stand outside of.
This is such a simple solution. Wonder why it is not done. Great Suggestion! 👍 👍 👍
that guard is so good at giving the Elbow LOL.
That was so funny, don’t mess with the guard man!!
Poor Guard he probably goes home with one heck of headache😢
Some people have the decency to be respectful
There could be another Sign ( Beware, Guards may kick or bite) Haha.😊☮️
They wouldn't like some random stranger lean up against them so why do they think they can do it with an active duty soldier
Poor Guard having to stand there and take this for an hour
Very well done guard.
Archie "The elbow" in action!😅
3:40 - 3:44 acknowledging the lil kid: cute moment🙂
Thnx
That looks like one peed off guard, bless him
Those guards are amazing, I don't think I could put up with what they have to do. The public don't realise that these are highly trained professional soldiers, God bless them, greetings from Australia.
I'm really impressed with the patience of these guards 💂♂️
Quite a few were much too close to the Guard.
Some people don’t understand spacial awareness because the words are too big and too many syllables.
Spacial

@@modestyblaise5895 really? How about, its not your space? ignorance is no excuse.
Nothing to say. Just normal gesture. King's Guards are Pop Stars. This station is the most difficult cause the crowd is very close.
I can accept kids wanting a photo taken but the so-called adults I just don't understand in fact the kids act more respectful
Even those few minutes looked exhausting. I would snap after an hour. Lots of credit to these guys for doing such a difficult job.
Ah yes, of course.....the Chinese.
nasty chinese
Those teeth 🤢
👍✌️🙏👏
If you thank them for a photo they will respond with a 'you're welcome'
The royal guard took the shine off the Chinese tourist's genuine and naive smile. 😅
👏🙏✌️👍
Maybe guard's take away order of flied lice was once late & a Kings Guard never forgets? 😮
No need for that. Just makes you sound like a jingoistic prat
The young woman in the smart white jacket showed how it’s done. She left a sensible gap between herself and the guard and no moronic posing. Well done young lady.👍
Bet they'd be upset if foreigners touched their guards. Some people feel so entitled. Poor guardsman. Bet they hate it.
The Chines wouldn't dare try that with the guards standing at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, or anywhere else
Can imagine what that poor guard is thinking , poor chap...

Smack, sorry my sabre Slipped
Extremely patient guard. Do tourists ever say thank you?
They're lucky they didn't get the boot.
I love it when people say thank you. It's only fair.
omg, i love him
Me too. Stars in my eyes🎉❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mais, il me semble, que c’est le garde qui était à cheval et sa maman était venu lui rendre visite avec une pancarte « je suis sa mère »❤
The Trooper must get thoroughly fed up with tourists treating him like an exhibit. He's on duty and should be respected.
People posing like they are models😂
Guard at work people nt know that ? he must be thinking ..... not another one
Don't Stand Don't Stand so close to me 😅😅
Got to be photo ….. with the Kings Guard 💂♀️

Wouldn't dare try that back home
Asians are always telling us how polite they are. Glad that guy got the elbow.
I don't u derstand why people want to make pictures standing next to the guard. It looks stupid.
I quite agree.
Narcissistic idiots who MUST get their precious photo disregarding all norms of respectful behaviour
The tourists all look like they shop Wal-Mart..
They act like the guard is a prop and they have no respect for the horses who could easily kick them across the Thames.
These Kings men and I women put up with a lot of 'shite'!! Being a former soldier, I think I would be telling to 'stand back' all the time.

He is not a monkey,he is working...

These are not waxwork dummies people they are serving soldiers, treat them with the respect they deserve
He's lucky to have got away with that much !
That guard shoved him right back to the dentist chair….

He's a living breathing human. Stop being disrespectful.

You wouldn't feel good if you were closely followed by an old man like that.
They treat This poor guards like an actor in disneyland😢

Yet when you go to some countries if you dare you are arrested
Why didn't he elbow those people? They were too close.I cringe thinking about this weekend with the coronation. All those extra people.

Che gente maleducata, si vede che sono ancora in evoluzione. Animali.
The key word here is GUARD..he's working and not posing for you to take pictures...DUH. So disrespectful.
No doubt ,that's Chinese!Disrespectful ~~
Instead of feeling ashamed and leaving immediately, he stayed there unti his photo was taken
