What the channel owner didn't mention was what the significance of the meet up was. That was the Ceremony of the Word. The Officer of the guard and a small group of soldiers march from the jewel house to the Queen’s house. When they arrive they are met by the Chief Yeoman Warder, who hands over a small leather pouch containing the password for the next 24 hours. This password is then shared around all soldiers and residents of the Tower for their entry and exit after hours. The Word changes daily.
How interesting. I'm a Londoner ,born and bred within walking distance of the Tower where I spent so many childhood days on Tower beach (over 70 years ago) and I had no idea of this ceremony. Thank you for broadening my knowledge of my beloved home city.
@@margaretoconnor3687 Most welcome. Personally I'm Australian, but being a military brat all my life this fascinates me so I research it all. The ceremonies, the official youtube videos for Cavalry and Grenadiers...titled The Queen's Cavalry and Guarding the Queen. There are others but they are a wealth of information.
Thanks from me too, didn’t know that!😊
Thank you for the information! Appreciate learning all this.
So interesting that, although they do this everyday, the officer proceeds with a detailed inspection whereupon he does find things to critique and, apparently, he and the warder have a nice little chat.
Nothing stunned over just normal guards doing their duties 🥱🥱🥱
I DO wish they would change their stupid headings.
What does "headings" mean 🤔 ? Thank you in advance for the response...
When I watch makes me proud to be British.
@@margaretjackson9284
What a silly, stupid sentence !
Sooooo often read or heard !
And from people from so many countries ! 🙄
@@solveiglandvikbrg9103 nothing silly or stupid about that sentence. She's obviously British, the kings guards are British. I'm British. You don't want people commenting about being proud to be British of the Kings guards, then watch another channel.
Probably 90% of the crowd has never seen guards this close, let alone an Inspection Parade. 💂
Timed to perfection. How professional are they, brilliant.
The grand old duke of York and it goes back centuries the Tower of London 💂♂💂♂💂♂💂♂.
You might imagine that the largest bearskin plume would go to the officer(s), being senior in rank. But in the Guards they go to the most important soldiers, who keep the whole show on the road, the Sergeant(s), (and Colour Sgts & Warrant Officers) 😎
God Bless Them !!!.👍👍👍
Nobody does the military better than the UK.
i served in the welsh guards . the best drill i ever seen was the soldiers of the tomb of the unknown soldier . in the united states . now that is perfection .
The US's displays are no less beautiful and drilled to perfection, but they lack the same feeling of history.
Your videos are extremely enjoyable and well made. The clickbait headlines however need to go.
I love the way the they they scoot their feet to feet in line!!!
Me too.
It's called dressing!
I love watching the guards when they’ve are marching. So perfect.
I've always understood that army officers were knicknamed "Ruperts" and now I know why!
Can you imagine the honor of being one of them?
It seems it would be unnerving to have superiors inspecting you like that.
They look funny and the hats 😂😂😂
Eles são lindo 🙋♀️😍
Ohhh I'm absolutely gob smacked 🤣🤣🤣
Just another day at the office 😊
Domingo tá cheio.miaericordia todo dia
Maybe we need a couple of the amazing BeefEaters at Horseguards, with there powerful voices, the crowds would do as their told quick step 😂
My respects to the guards from this Canadian.
I love these videos!! Watch every one !!?
She shouted “LET’S CHANGE THE GUARD!”
the trousers look a different material than we had . we had the heavy woolen trousers . the waistline was crazy . it went up to your chest . and hooked onto braces . back in the 70s . welsh guards .
I still haven't went there 😅💂♂️💙
Stunned ???? where? why? how?
Dove si trova il castello 🏰 che via
I'm stunned, never expected that, hope nowone was hurt
Officers are so slovenly, you can always tell a rupert.
I wonder WHO inspects HIM ?????
Personally the Inspection Gaurds Hat I think is just way to big !!! 😮
Did I miss something?
No just usual clickbait.
@@iancampbell3726 Thought so. Thanks 👍👍
The only thing stunning was how Tall the Inspector was
He was an officer of the Irish Guards
Subtitles needed, please !
I cannot understand the orders !
What was given about the 8th minute to the tallest of those guards ? 🤔
"The Word"...... "Escort to the Word"....
Another subscriber has explained that what the officer was given was a pouch containing the password for entry into the Tower by residents after it is closed. The password changes daily.
@@margaretoconnor3687
Thank you so much for this explanation !
Have a good day .....
@@solveiglandvikbrg9103 thank you, good wishes reciprocated. I was interested in what was explained as although I was born and raised within walking distance of the Tower I had no idea that this ceremony was held daily.
@@photoplanet
Do you mean the PASSWORD in order to enter into the Tower ?????
Are the Guards getting shorter by any chance?
I don’t know about this regiment, but the Queens Company (now Kings Company) of the Grenadier Guards lowered the minimum height from 6’2” to 5’10” a while ago. I think there is still a preference for Guards be tall, but height restrictions are generally more fluid these days, depending on supply and demand.
Nothing amazing, just a normal inspection
❤❤💂♂️💂♂️❤❤💂♂️💂♂️❤️❤️💂♂️💂♂️
Glad you enjoyed the video!
CLICKBAIT!!!
Why is his hat so big ?
Always sloppy drill by the officers. He should be reminders that thigh parallel to the ground and not a cow kick. 😮
Why is everyone "stunned"?
Why does "The King's Guard" always head each video with clickbait ?
And?
why is the inspection soldier with a double size bearskin? Must weigh so much
@#Wendy.
The inspecting soldier!
Is the officer of the Guard!
...
All Officers in the foot guards use a different bearskin than the rest of the troops.
He is in charge but.......
They are not made from BEAR skin these days.
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 @#Not made from real Bear Skin!!..thank goodness!!
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 Actually, I think you'll find they are real bear fur, only they're made from from Canadian culled bears.
I was expecting for some funny shit to happen, but it is a little bit of a time and era misfit of a joke in my eyes.
You should've gone to Specsavers.
I didn’t see anything stunning just the normal ceremony of the word
WARNING: This is nothing but CLICKBAIT.
The officer’s hat is way too tall. Almost looks like it is going to fall off.
Part of being an officer, if you can't shout loudest then wear a bigger hat
Nice guards with their white belts. See the leader is wearing a reddish/purple belt though. Is he training for his black belt? lol
Not funny you chop!
The click bait headings turn me right off.
No. No one was stunned. I froze the video and inspected everyone’s face. Not a trace of stunning to be seen. It’s all quite normal. Four hapless squaddies are frog-marched out, and an officer comes out to look for specks of dust and intimidate said squaddies, then goes back into office for a coffee. After that, the squaddies are made to stand still for a few hours by the gate or other strategic place and be stared at and photographed by Japanese tourists. So really, no stunning at all. All quite normal and it’s all done for fun. There is absolutely no point to it whatsoever and certainly, if someone was stunned by it all, they should seek medical advice. As a click bait, stunning is a very weak word to use, try saying “see streaker at 7.03”. That will guarantee you more clicks.
What’s clickbait?
Alice Finn, "clickbait" refers to an inaccurate description at the beginning of a video, which deliberately attracts audience attention.
In other words, this whole channel 😂
@@militaryevents107 Seems like you're right...a waste of time, once you've seen a couple of them. (:
@@aileen694 A shame they get so many views. It goes to show that it gets views.
@@militaryevents107 Folks just mindlessly scrolling through youtube, I guess. I find it becomes really addictive, have to stop sometimes and re-engage my brain elsewhere!
Worst clickbait in years.
I regret adding to the viewing figures. I get sick of these sort of stupid posts just to get viewer figures.......STUNNED...... YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT, etc.
how many bear had to die so these nitwits can wear a hat
WTF??? ... 🤔
