I'm a ex French military member as my family. When i went in London in 2017, i visited tower of London. I salute in civil ouftits a royal air force staff sergeant Guard when this british comrade saw me and my military bag and smiles with kindless to me, people understand m'y salute i'm so proud to salute and respect theses british military comrades ! Greetings and salutes from France 🇬🇧🇫🇷
I think these guards deserve our deepest respects.Most of the people disturbing them whilst on duty are idiots.I LOVE watching most days when free and I am from Singapore😊
We never salute in Civies.
As a ex infantry soldier who done all them ceremony duties, the guard would of appreciated that. Just show them some respect, 2 hours in position and they are really soldiers who have deployed to all parts of the world, ie Afghanistan and Iraq in service to the country. Thank you for your your respect.
The eight soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards were flown from operational service in Iraq to take part in the queens funeral.
@@janolaful that’s so awesome.
As a Military Veteran, I still get a “Thank you” for your service, and it is appreciated.
@@donallen1384 And we love giving our ‘thanks’. You certainly deserve them. It seems so little for what you have done.
@@donallen1384 And never forget!
Thank you sir for being very respectful . Makes a lovely change .

What a delightful change in behaviour than we're used too. That gentlman is welcome to come back at any time and thank youvfor respectiong out soldiers and traditions.
Wow how respectful was that man & lady at the end bowing to the guard. Tourist take note thats how you behave towards our serving guards 💂♂️
I hope this couple have nothing but goodness in their life. God bless their gentle hearts.
Wow, never seen that done before that was respect and all these guards deserve it let's hope they all get more respect like that,not saying exactly like that but more respect than what they get now. That couple showed more respect than all the others I have seen and I have seen a lot. Wonder where they were from.
They‘r from the USA………….and that makes it for me even mor special (if you know what i mean…………..) 👍🏽🙏🏾👍🏽

We feel honored to watch the Kings Guards as the do their precise exercises/marching. The dicpline and respect are visible and makes an admirable showing. ❤
A fine display of discipline and precision displayed by members of the Welsh Guards. Never forget that these men are not just on display for tourists. But professional soldiers, many with battlefield experience. They take their guard duties very seriously.
“Ya like the sound their boots make, Mummy? I do!” Sweet boy! I was just thinking about how I love the sound of them marching and the horse’s hooves too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇺🇸
This gentleman has a good heart and has shown himself to both respectful and respected. ❤
Low bow and held.
Head bowing - it’s traditional, it’s very respectful and very elegant. It’s a beautiful tradition that conveys so much more meaning than what a handshake could convey.
It is said that the deeper the bow, the deeper is the respect or gratitude shown by a person.
Fifteen-degree bows are used for informal and formal occasions while a thirty-degree angle bow is reserved for very formal times
Coming from my side of the pond I don't really see it that way. Would you mind enlightening me? Respect means a lot to me and a bow could show that but it also says that you're subservient. On the other hand a handshake you look another person in the eyes on equal footing extending the hand that would normally hold a weapon and grasp onto the other person. A lot can be said about the way the other person holds their grip and gives an individual influence over another despite societal roles.
@@williamwhite8416There is nothing subservient about a bow. It is a symbol of the respect and regard the person being bowed to is held by the person bowing. In many cases, particularly in Asian protocols, the bow is returned, so definitely not a sign of subservience. As has been stated, the degree of bow has specific meaning as does the duration. Protocols can be rather esoteric, but in this instance it was a very dignified and polite way to honour and thank the Guardsman.
Better than handshake and bow is the flipper when you go for the regular handshake then at the last second you turn your hand into a fishes tail, violently flapping away in their hand! It freaks people right out 🤣You should see their faces!😂🤣🤣
@@williamwhite8416it's more related to the Asian culture about how deep or what angle the bowing is
This is all they need, instead of acting ignorant, show them respect. I always love it when people actually show them respect and appreciated.
OFF TO THE SIDE A MOTHER WAS TEACHING HER YOUNGSTER ABOUT GIVING RESPECT TO THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN
Deep respect to our British cousins from across the pond.
Don't mess with the Kings guard !!
It is actually an insult against the king himself !!

Respect is also contagious. It would be nice to spread it out.
The historic buildings and grounds are simply spectacular. Respect to the trades and grounds keepers for maintaing them to such a high standard.
I have the outmost repsect for these boys. They have extreme dicipline. Same for the guard in my own country Norway. They are extremely professional.
Brilliantly done
Sounded a bit like Dads Army though with one Guard (the butcher) out of time when they stood to attention. Still great to watch though..
Oh! The little boys faces of utter magic in their hearts at seeing these soldiers.
"I like the sound their boots make, don't you mummy?" Most British thing ever, and adorable
Dear tourist's, these are active working members of our British army. These are not actors or a fancy dress parade. They are real soldiers
Most tourist just see the traditional uniform but not what you have to do to get it. I watched a movie about recrutes in the 90's for the Royal Guards. I was realy impressed. Only 30minutes wearing this outfit and standing on guard would be impossible for anyone disrespecting or joking on them.
If they would wear a modern battle dress, people would think a bit different.
@@passionformilhistory30 минут тупого простоя сложно для вас?🤣🤣🤣 Посмотрел бы я на таких героев как они в нашей армии, после того как спалились пьяными, пробегали 3-4 часа вокруг плаца, в озк, противогазе, с 2-3 брониками(зависит от массы героя) и калашом, после таких вытрезвителей эти бы научились маршировать за 20 минут, но лёжа 🤣🤣🤣
You think soldiers anywhere, not capable of the same thing? Lol. They all go through gruelling training dude. The point being made is not about their level of fitness but about how hard it is, just to stay still for prolonged periods - especially with the high energy a soldier - any soldier, would have coursing through their body. Not everything is a pissing contest!@@eviltank7420

Gun is loaded and has a real bayonet. Just stand aside. Please.

To me, the Guards are always impressive.
God save the king god save the forces and anyone who has served for our country you have my upmost respect and grattitude!!!🙏🏴🙏🏴🙏🏴
Utmost.
With deepest respect to all our Military. Thank you.
It is a wonder they all don’t have shin splints with all that stomping!! I truly admire their dedication and training. I am obsessed with these channels!!
Beautiful moment. God bless them and the guards. I think out of all the videos I have watched regarding these guards and beautiful buildings hardly any respect is shown. Such a shame. But when it happens it so warms the heart, especially for the guards and horses too. Would be nice if a rule was brought in that if you don’t show respect and gratitude for this privilege you won’t be allowed in. No photos. Nothing.
Be kind and god bless.
I love that little voice saying he likes the sound their boots make❤️
These guards go through intense training and respect should always be given to them.
Very well captured. One of the best.
They absolutely deserve respect and I can’t wait to go to the UK
Lovely to see
You filmed this a month before the first of these much-loved channels appeared on my phone. I hope that the ex-infantry soldier is watching still, in Sept.2024. How very honoured we are to have members of the British Army following also. Love the timber framed building. Where are we? Thank you so much.❤😊
Eu moro n Brasil gosto d ver e acho lindo a disciplina dos guardas d rainha.😊
Thank you for your service
Aww that was so nice 😊
Es hermoso ver la disciplina de los militares en cualquier país.
Respecto a la guardia real me gustaría hacer un comentario con mucho respeto:
Ojalá fuera posible que marcaran con líneas perfectamente visibles la ruta por donde van a los guardias.
Mucha gente no tiene la menor intención de interferir en los cambios de guardia o en sus rutinas de los soldados, pero si no saben por dónde van a pasar entonces no es culpa de la gente "estorbar" ni de los soldados.
Ciertamente algunas personas sí son irrespetuosas con los guardias, pero la gran mayoría de la gente sólo quiere observar y llevarse un grato recuerdo a través de una foto.
Gracias, es mi humilde opinión.
Total respect from the Japanese guy and his lady. Well done, at least somebody has manners.

Que belleza de arquitectura 🤩
They need a fence like that in front of where the horses are to keep the people back and away from the horses and guards
The horses and Guardsmen must be able to be mobile at a moment's notice. No time to open a gate.
Bravo to the Brits and these fine young men (women) who serve the King.
Bravo to all who understand what these men/women do for all of the UK
Respekt vor diesen Männern ist angebracht
Великобритания - самая красивая и любимая страна 🇬🇧❤🎉
me parece una payasada desde el cariño y el respeto
Biggest smile EVERRRRR so cute
Those houses look amazing which area is that,is it the Tower of London?I usually inly see videos of if Buckingham Palace or Horse Guards.
I can’t help but notice all of the mindless tourists shooting photos with their phones held in portrait mode, getting just ⅓ of an image they could be getting had they held their phones in horizontal position like was done by the individual who shot this video.
No se si alguien lo ha notado o lo ha dicho, pero estos guardias deben estar entrar las personas mas fotografiadas del mundo. Mis respeto por mantener una tradición tan importante.
Old school respect
When there were a lot more branches of the guards before a lot of mergers you could always tell what guards they were by the formation of the buttons.
You still can, the only merges you talk about are when battalions are merged, there are still 5 regiments of foot guards, Grenadier Coldstream Scots Welsh and Irish and the buttons and plumes are all different between them.
Yeah, the regiments are still the same. There's too much history, tradition and battle honours for the powers-that-be to start messing with the Guard's regimental organisation. I remember the uproar when it was suggested that the Parachute Regiment and The Royal Marines should be amalgamated into one individual "commando" regiment and they haven't got the centuries of history that the Guards have. Regular regiments of the line get merged all the time but in this case I think the government know enough to leave well alone.
13:33
of course well done them.... what the officers are saying to the guards,whilst inspecting them,is are you ready for another day of dumb tourist activity......☺🇬🇧🥃
They will be passing on a password/code, which is then given to the Guards who have just come on duty. This changes everyday (I think)
Nice to see
Красавцы❤❤❤❤❤
Wow. And the guard did not care about the tourist taking selfies.
Excellent.
Some years ago, while visiting Britain, the friends I stayed with took me to a pub where we met up with one of their friends. He was a member of the Grenadier Guarda whose current assignment was a s a ceremonial guard at The Tower of London. Because the guards are in such close proximity to tourists, I asked him who were the best and worst tourists. He replied, "Canadians and Japanese are the best. They're quiet, polite and respectful." He added, 'the worst are Americans. For the most part, they are rude, arrogant, loud, demanding and very disrespectful." Just to confirm, a few days later, I was at the Science Museum and asked a security guard the same question. He echoed what the other person told me. He said, "oh that's an easy question sir. American visitors are almost always awful. They're very rude and loud. As for the best, "Canadians and Scandanavian visitors are nice people."
Canadian here, ex 35 year Air Force. Thank you for saying that we're polite. Most of us think that way. We're probably the only citizens in the world who, if YOU bump into us, we'll say, "I'm sorry."
This American finds that embarrassing and shameful. I have the utmost respect for these guards that what lay down their life in order to protect their King and their Country. I am so sorry that idiots out there do not understand that these guards are not in costume, I get angry thinking about it. I am not a Karen but I think I would have something to say to any American or any other tourist that I saw being disrespectful to these guards.
Where are the kings gard’s situated? Is it near the horse gard’s?
What a true Gentlemen. I can see they are people from a different country trying to show others to be respectful to these guards. They aren't there for show, They are here to serve for King and Country. (hint) 00:00 Is that yellow stuff vomit?
That rind of tradition hiddens the tears of the autochthonous england people.
Salute 💂
13:15 Mad respect my man. Showing appreciation to soldiers goes a long way

Can someone explain who are the guards with the red clothing
@martyzink6273 thanks
There are diff regiments of guards one way to tell is the Busby plume colour or none ie:-
Grenadier white L Side
Coldstream Red R Side
Scots None
Irish Blue R Side
Welsh White & Green L Side
These particular Guards are Welsh Guards, the youngest of the five regiments of foot guards. You can tell the regiments apart by various details on their uniforms. For example the spacing of the buttons on their tunics.
Single spacing, Grenadiers
In twos,Coldstream
In threes, Scots
In fours, Irish
In fives, Welsh
They also have different insignia on their collars as well as plumes in their bearskins ( or not, as in the Scots Guards) . As I understand it the placing of the plume shows where the regiment would have been historically in line of battle . The Scots have no plume as they would have been in the middle. 🏴🇬🇧
@@cathyb46 Its actually a Bearskin, Guardsman will take offence to having their Bearskin referred to as a busby . Busbys are worn by some cavalry regiments and some artillery.
@@margaretoconnor3687 spot on, as you said plume placing denotes order of the regiment in battle as it would have been. The Grenadiers being the senior regiment are Right of the line and so on.
Nice x
It's so easy to show some respect...
I admire that gesture, I really do - and I'd have done the same, because no one gives them the respect, they deserve - it's literally the Coldstream Guard.
But what freaks me off, is the left cannon. I had to watch it on my PC...but it's way off. It got like an inch too much elevation and doesn't fit; the right one is maybe 1/3" off to the low.
Sorry, really sorry...but asymmetrical.
:Þ
I love those respectful couple 🙏 🎉
Imagine if history had been different, we might very well still be seeing this in Dublin Castle or sites currently owned by the Irish Free State government in my native Republic of Ireland - looking at the current state of our country now, perhaps we would have been better off remaining under British rule, as living 21 years in the U.K., I despair at the incompetence and mismanagement of our country’s leaders back home since 1922 right up to the present day
Yes, if only our various governments hadn't treated the Irish SO bloody badly in the past - especially in light of the massive contribution made by those brave Irish lads to the British Army - things may well have been different. Talk about 'short-sightedness'!
🇬🇧⚔️
Interesting. He employs a Japanese-style bow, and I notice he has the word 'Anime' written on his t-shirt, so could he potentially be drawing from that as inspiration?
It isn't typically how we show respect in the UK, though we do bow we only bow our head (or curtsey) to the monarch and clergymen may bow in church. We do nod our heads to others as a sign of respect or greeting, but we do not typically perform what the Japanese call sai-keirei', a 45 degree bow typically used for those in higher positions than ourselves.
If I were to make a bold assumption; I might assume that this kind chap may be on the spectrum, and he repeated what he saw on anime as he judged it to be a 'sign of respect' and defaulted to that gesture. I only assume this because of the way the members of his party told him to stand, encouraged him to smile, and the sigh of relief once he had finished taking a photograph which I imagine, being in a public place, was rather uncomfortable for him.
I tend to hyper-analyse things, so I thank you if you bothered to read any of this. What a kind, nice and brave chap for doing what he thought was right. If he is a foreign tourist, I encourage him to come back and visit anytime!
Its nice to see the respect no offense if im being ingnorant or anything but what was up with the guard's drill it looked like they havent been trained like being late on port arms and shoulder arm commands etc.
He was not the first ❤😊
A genuine question. How do you pay non verbal respects to guards. I assume, as a non military man ,that a salute is not the way. For military only . Is the bowing a little bit too much ? Just interested if anyone can comment.
We had/have in Finnish Military regulation, that when you wear head wear, you do salute. If indoors you do bow. So bow would good.
👍👍 ❤️
Jake's a cool guy
There are many ceremonial units within the British military who perform duties for the Monarch. If war were to break out. These units will leave these duties an and join their fellow service members in what ever the cause is. The US military is very similiar to the B ritish.
People, guards are not on display for you all to take pictures of them with yourselves in them for stupid selfies. They are working. Horrible people pestering guards instead of minding your own businesses and leaving them all alone.
He probably learnt it from the Japanese. Works everytime and in every situations.
That was a shocking display of drill from those Welch Guards.
