    I have to say that I didn't expect you to end up having a pretty decent, polite and adult conversation with these people, judging from the failed attempts in the past to try to get past the 'I cant speak English' part. This group must be the better ones of most of those I've seen in HP. Well done to you when I finally heard them say 'thanks for explaining and we understand now'. I actually saw a male adult stopping his kid from mimicking the guard's march whilst you were speaking with the ladies. ❤

      It isn't only the UK military unfortunately. There are videos of ''tourists'' making fun of the Greek guards, RCMPs and the Swiss Guard at the Vatican. They seem to think anyone that even vaguely resembles characters from disney or hollyweird must be an actor or a tourist attraction. And then others ''justify'' it online by claiming they should dress like proper soldiers [unfortunately often from a country NOT in Europe/Africa/bits in between] and who would go to war dressed like that. I hope it is ignorance, I suspect it is stupidity mixed with a certain amount of superiority - especially at present - thinking their country leads the way and everyone should follow suit.

    What a wonderful, interesting, and respectful video. I traveled a lot as a child, including the Middle East. My appearance always taught me to be respectful of other people and their customs. Sadly today, as you know, respect has fallen by the wayside. I haven't been able to follow for a while, and have missed seeing my favorite horses (Ormonde, Lyric, Q10, Thor, etc.). Thank you so much for letting me visit London when I can't be there in person).

    As I said yesterday, John, you are the most wonderful unofficial ambassador of Horse Guards. Given the chance, as you were by this lovely family, you are able to explain the workings of HGs, its history and its need for respect and hopefully, admiration.
    I knew that you felt defensive at the beginning of the conversation, expecting the worst (as we’ve seen at times) followed by a relaxed explanation of the gatesman’s duties. They were genuinely interested and engaging and seemed to understand your conversation. You truly were able to turn their visit around in the right direction, stopping the ridicule of the guard.
    The clown prince of Spain was a different story entirely. He should have been tossed out by the MOD officers.
    Did you attempt to speak to him after the video ended?

    Your conversation with this group was very valuable. As a Jewish (not orthodox) person, I am aware that the very orthodox Jews live rather cloistered lives. I personally believe thats why their social interactions that we've seen at Horse Guards have been so strange. I was very happy that this group really tried to listen and understand what you were telling them. In Israel, Orthodox Jewish men had been exempt from serving in the military, but that's recently changed.

I think maybe they realize & have more respect for the military than the ones in London. 🤷 Mainly because the military is an important part of the culture in Israel. Hopefully tho, the ones who live in London will see this and learn. They were quite pleasant. I don't think they totally understand, but at least they were willing to listen.

    Thanks John, you told them in a polite and calm manner about respect, more so as they initially approached you in a passive aggressive way.
    I sure don't miss doing guard duty in London, miss the job and the friends but not that part up close to tourists.

Even if you took a day off from Horse Guards it would be great to see around London again. In fact I learnt something the other day that there is an underground private tunnel from Westminster to Buckingham Palace not sure it’s used anymore, however would love to view that.

Thank for taking the time to explain British traditions to them. That they listened without complaint says everything you need to know about that group. I am sure they will take this back home with them and share it with others. There are, of course, bad apples in every group. Take those loutish Spanish teenagers, who would not dare do that in their homeland. Thank you again, John for being so courteous to that group.

      And yet we have seen time and time again these very groups being incredibly disrespectful and ignorant . Yes, John was incredibly diplomatic, but he shouldn’t have had to be. There are elders among that group and always with the other groups, who should be leading by example, and keep the younger ones in check. This is by no means the first time.

      I am not entirely convinced they did not know about the Guards. The people from this religious group have in the past been very rude to the Guards.

    I listen to your conversation with them. John as always you’ve told him exactly what it should be. However, I felt a bit unsure that they were really taking it in. Surely an adult should know not to behave like that towards a soldier. That was no way for them to behave in front of the soldier, especially as they were demonstrating to children bad behaviour. Where on earth did they think they were?

    I am hoping that some higher up official will see these videos on how well people who are following you speak so highly of you.
    I am hoping something is there for an opening of some sort for you to continue this role, in a way that you will have an audience talking to face to face as well as with us what is the important role of history and tradition.
    I have said this a few times and it speaks volumes to different people when we follow you on your tours. I realised that is not just with the subtitles for anyone but the language they speak at home change from english to whatever. As a newbie I don't know much about that language changing, it is a really big thing for me someone who has compassion for others and a big thing when they think outside the box knowing the it bring not just non english speaking / hearing impaired or deaf people but it is to share what knowledge you have and you have a really big heart that goes with your conscience to whatever you say about the running of this military establishment. Please correct me if I am wrong in the name as I keep forgetting if it's called something else. If it is I will try my best to have it down somewhere and try to remember. You have a beautiful gift that just shows how nuch you love your country and especially live in a country where you can visit here whenever you can.
    So glad I found you and everybody, I am up for learning and try to remember. This is the one that really ticks all my boxes.
    Subtitles weren't invented back when I watch tv / or go to movies. It's the best invention since sliced bread. Not a lot of people think outside the box , no compassion for other people in what would benefit us to follow, only in how much money is this going to bring in.
    You bring out the best in us John as well .
    Take care.

    😅Enjoy your work John. Good conversation with the tourists today, and Thanks for standing up for the troops. They can lose money if they react, a trooper lost 4 hours overtime, because he laughed. The jobs hard enough without losing wages as well! Most people are ok, but some, need to be marched off to the Tower… stay warm John

    There were a group of these tourists in Paphos airport, a few months ago. The kids were running riot and the parents took no notice of their children behaviour. The kids need educating, so do the parents

    We got our first snow, overnight, in Southwest Michigan. It’s almost all melted now except for rooftops.
