@@broman2084, you should try them on marble flooring.... no chance of a tight turn, trust me. ** remembers facing the direction I turned as I continued in the direction I was originally travelling...**
I wish people would stop laughing at them,they are highly trained soldiers and there jobs are nothing to laugh at.And people trying to get them to move or smile is just down right childish.
If I ever get to visit England, I will make it a point to march up to a guard, halt in front of him or her, stand at attention and say thank you job well done! Do an about turn and march away again.
I think a lot of people think they are just ceremonial and not “real” soldiers, I saw a comment once that they couldn’t hurt a fly and their guns were just for show, people from other countries don’t realise that they are highly trained soldiers

@spitfire Let's laugh when you nearly make an error at your occupation. Are you on display? He didn't even fall. I'd love to see you shovel snow from a driveway without falling. That should be your career, you deadbeat. While everybody watches. Good sense of humor.
Youre taking this seriously, i didnt insult them or call them clowns infact i listen to some british march like birdcage walk and namur march but you obviously take everything seriously. Go outside dude.
Girls laughing because one of the guards nearly slipped you do realise how hard it is to march tithe them boots on and even worse in the wet weather they have metal plates underneath to make that awsome sound when they march
I was here on Christmas Eve years ago. It was absolutely magical. Wonderful concert of Christmas music and all of the very British pomp and ceremony one could wish for. Top of my list of best travel experiences. Brilliant! Extraordinary! Cheers and Merry Christmas to the Queen, her family and our friends in GB!

My father enlisted in the Grenadier Guards in Nov 1939 & was demobbed in May1946. He was very proud of have been a Guardsman, I used to watch with amusement on the occasions when he met by chance another of his kind also wearing the Brigade of Guards or Regimental ties, which was usually how they knew each other. No matter about differences in age or background, it was like some sort of secret society from which we mere mortals were excluded.
That happened to my father in law, someone came up to him, shook his hand and started going on about the regiment, he's going "what are you on about", and the bloke says "regimental tie" and my father in law goes "this? I got it from M&S!" My, how we laughed...he's the last person you'd expect to have been in the forces. And he wasn't.

A soldier would appreciate how easily you can get out of step or trip while swinging arms with a weapon shouldered or drawn sword, send him a beer for putting on a show for you or say thank you next day of remembrance.....god people disrespect our service people and veterans makes me angry.

London is the capital of Great Britain.It's a very old and beautiful city.There are many interesting places to visit in London.Do you remember Buckingham Palace and the London Eye.There are many parks,squares,museums and theatres in this city.Many people visit Big Ben and take pictures of it.Big Ben is a high tower with a very big clock.London Bridge is a very popular place too.It's on the Thames River

What is so funny about a Soldier slipping it really funny I get it that sometimes when we see someone slip it is a bit funny but you do know Soldiers boots have a metal plate underneath and when they walk on Cobblestone they will lose their footing and when my dad was in the army he slipped on Cobblestone but he managed to Stop himself from falling to floor
The Lifeguards are the most senior Regiment in the British Army. They are fully trained soldiers and go into armed vehicles when not on public duty, they are NOT TOY SOLDIERS , they are very BRAVE soldiers.
He's leaning up against the wall because there's a huge crowd and this way he takes less space. He has the hood on because it's raining a bit. Why is he a rat again?
The English have more dignity in a simple changing guards ( if there is anything like a simple changing guard ), then the German in a great Zapfenstreich. I say this as a German. Though the Bundeswehr has very good musicians too, the English manage to walk to Mozart and appear as professional soldiers. The only advance the Bundeswehr has to the English army is, that they grew a lot more peacefull after ww2.
The English have enough people proud of their country. Be proud of yours for a change. Perhaps if they were more keen on that than on being peaceful, their ceremonies might be considerably better. As for the Großer Zapfenstreich, the torchlit aspect of the ceremony is beautiful. And no one writes marches better than the Germans. Mozart, after all, was Austrian German…
STILL VERY SMART BUT I WAS USED TO THE 6FT MALE GUARDS IN MY DAY CANT SAY I EVER GOT USED TO SEEING FEMALES IN THE ROLE. AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IM PREJUDICED I AM A FEMALE WHO SERVED IN THE 40S
3:06 I hate when people laugh at events like this, as if it was very easy to march in a coordinated way and with a slippery floor, they lack a lot of judgment and should admire their work as royal guards with respect and pride and not with laughter at almost falling. I also include the minute 4:03 as if coughing was an act that none of those people do, why are they laughing, I do not understand, better be quiet and observe how wonderful the guards are.
In the years 62/63, as an Au Pair Girl, we were allowed to walk directly to the guards ! I dispise the people, who disrespected and made fun of these guards ! Big respect to the units of the guards

People really don't understand that although this kind of ceremony is laughable to us, it was as normal as the 6 o'clock news in its day. Tradition shows us how far we've come
I like the long grey coats with the white belt more than the red coats, what is the difference? I want to get one of the grey coats, is that possible? I guess I could google these questions for myself...
Mr Who they aren't. they did it for hundreds of years. it happened even during WW1 and WW2. they did this pompous ceremony when london didn't really have "tourists"
You mean from the opera The Marriage of Figaro dated early1700s. It is a great slow march. The lines are always just that bit straighter when that one plays.
I like how red the life guards cloaks are, and how blue the blues and royals cloaks are. I dont really like how in the winter that the grenadier guards have grey, but I do like their great coats

I like the long grey coats with the white belt more than the red coats, what is the difference? I want to get one of the grey coats, is that possible? I guess I could google these questions for myself...
They're just their winter dress, they're the same if not identical across most of the British Army, so you can probably find surplus ones online.
And people say they're not a tourist attraction
+zzzzzz They are, without doubt ;)
It's called tradition, if people want to see it then so be it but it was here before they arrived.
Mr Who they aren't. they did it for hundreds of years. it happened even during WW1 and WW2. they did this pompous ceremony when london didn't really have "tourists"
They aren't it's tradition, a ceremony, it would be done if there was no one to watch.
They have de facto become one.
Wish those girls would stop laughing. It's annoying. And really immature too. Thanks for sharing Jose!

3:30 Band of the Royal Life Guards accompanying the new guard
And the band of the royal guards accompanying the old guard
Muito Bom, Parabens .
what is the name of the music the first set of guards played? and the secod set ?
First set is "Figaro" for the slow march and "Washington Grays" for the quick march. The second set, I have no idea.
The second band play "Namur"
Salieri
First piece of music sounds like it's by Mozart from the movie Amadeus
You mean from the opera The Marriage of Figaro dated early1700s. It is a great slow march. The lines are always just that bit straighter when that one plays.
I like how red the life guards cloaks are, and how blue the blues and royals cloaks are. I dont really like how in the winter that the grenadier guards have grey, but I do like their great coats
Conrail Gp-40 Guy the grey great coats is standard ceremonial winter dress throughout the British army
@@steveellis9065 yes. I've seen the rifles, royal regt of scotland, royal regt of Wales, and all of the regiments wear them
i cook for the sergeant majors and sergeants, best job ive ever had.
