      Thank you! For braving the weather for us appreciated. You're a real trooper. Glorious arrival/departure. Of our beloved regiments. Kudos! To the Gatemen they moved effortlessly among the crowd. It wouldn't hurt. For the police to carry a mini megaphone. 🤣📣On their waistband. When tourists don't understand simple verbal/visual commands. I do miss seeing our favorite lady officer. Hope she's doing well. And I agree the horse with the star marking is a beauty.. I do miss seeing Ormonde. Lastly., I don't know how to feel. About the Blues and Royals enforcement of the lines "neutral "Well done!❤️💂‍♀️🐴

    You missed out an the PERFECT chance to explain to your viewers how the chimes work in the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben). Allow me. The chime consist of four notes (and two patterns). First four note (1st pattern) tells you it's quarter past. Eight notes (1st and 2nd pattern) means it's half past. Twelve notes (1st, 2nd and repeat 1st) is quarter to the hour.....this is what we heard in your video. Sixteen notes (1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd) and the bongs will tell you it's on the hour and the number of bongs tells you what o'clock it is. It's those little details which fascinates the tourists.
    I'm a Brit who used to live in London. I'm pretty sure not every Brit outside London knows about the way the chimes work. 😊

      Commonly called the Westminster Chimes when installing a door bell that allows you to select the chime pattern you want for the bell.

    The Blues and Royal's are definitely the most impressive looking guards at HorseGuards, i think their colours suit the background more & also because they show the Red, White & Blue of the Union Jack.... Maybe they had to remove the cloak's because they got so wet as they came in, also with so much rain running off the cloak's soaks the horses... Maybe we'll learn more as the morning goes on 🇬🇧❤️😘😘

    As for people in the yard at guard change not moving back would ask them have you ever had a horse tread on yr foot.
    Just dislike the tourists who think they are not obliged to follow the rules at the front and some go too far like a lady yesterday who was grabbing the horses head alot followed by alot of touching by others guard was stum.

    How disrespectful these tourists are. And I disagree with Guards allowing some to touch the horse. That's going to be seen by all and EVERY tourist will just ignore the rules. If rules are set down. All Guards need to protect the Kings Guards Horses. Not pick and choose who can come into the box. Why are they allowing this?

  • @heatherharvey3129
    @heatherharvey3129 2 години тому

    This is showing that the majority of tourists are standing further away from the horses and the horses are definitely more chilled as a result of not being mauled or having people standing too close. However, the crowds are still nowhere near what they are in peak season and that will be the real "test" of the effectiveness of the lines and the signs. Here's hoping the trend to give space to the horses continues.
