What wonderfully well behaved children, a True credit to their Teachers and School.😊❤ The Respect shown to The Chelsea Pensioners was Exceptional, Thank you
Every school group visiting Horse Guards should watch this and learn from them . What a pity we don't know which school they're from the teacher and the boys as John said ( after a bit of a struggle 😋!) were exemplary . I hope they enjoyed the experience .
I was born in Wales and went to school there. The children were very well behaved in class. Teachers were strict and walked around with a cane but never used it.
the group of young men at the beginning were very well behaved. To the teacher; if you are seeing this video, please know that your students showed exemplary behavior in my opinion and were very respectful young men
I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. You are a great narrator and your knowledge is wonderful. Thank you so much for showing this great grandma a bird's eye view of London. You are a great ambassador for the UK.
What a beautiful morning. There were so many tourists today. That group of students with their teacher were very respectful towards the soldier. Thank you, John, for your wonderful commentary.
Thank you for allowing us to see your postings. By the way my Great Uncle Sam was an "out" Chelsea Pensioner , meaning he was allowed to live at home and still receive a Pension. He had Served in Africa.. I used to go during WW2 and what a wonderful greeting we used to get from him , his wife and family.
Hello John from the US! Beautiful day there and so nice to see that well behaved group there! If only they all were like that! Really enjoy your videos!
Good morning John 👑🌞 You had me laughing out loud, first child offering, your sence of humor is marvelous 🙂 Love your channel, keep up the good work 🫡🫡👍
The protest at the beginning of the video were marching for the freedom of women that are imprisoned by the Iranian government for speaking up against laws that oppress women. The flag that they are carrying is the Pre Revolution Iranian flag. Also, today, 8th March, is International Women's Day.

Thrilled to see this video John. Such a super variety of activity. Thank you.:) BTW this77 yr old will be visiting Horse Guards 2nd week of April & hope I will be able to meet & thank you personally for all these super videos.
Hello from South Ga!🇺🇸. WOW! So many people!! I would freak out if I was a horse and had to deal with all of those people. Great sunny 10:59 walk. Be safe in your travels today and watch out for pick pockets.
John!! That was BLOOMING MARVELLOUS. Such a beautiful day for you i gess it was mayhem again i bet it will all weekend as well. Horse's just divine like our Military and i agree with you John i don't think any one is going to get away with any nonsense or disrespect this year or for ever in fact😊 Thank you John stay safe❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
John, on Quarterback, after his Star, he has a STRIPE to a SNIP. That's what you call that small white line on his face. It's called a STRIPE. Another definition of identification for you!! Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
@LondonCityWalks You're very welcome. I would have named it earlier, but I am recovering from a small concussion at the moment from a fall off a horse. I'm fine and will be back in the saddle by the end of next week. But it muddled my brains a bit. And unfortunately, I couldn't remember what in the devil that small strip of a blaze was called!! So, as soon as I saw Quarterback today, I needed to put it down for you. I've already replaced my riding helmet for my return to riding. As a rule, if you fall off and get any type of concussion, replace your riding helmet, as it probably has hairline cracks that if you fell again, it wouldn't protect your head at all. So, I always replace it! Have a great weekend ahead, John!! Jenn 💖
@@jenniferlehman326 Glad to hear you are alright after your fall Jenn, I remember being told you need to fall off 7 times before you can think of calling yourself a rider ! Hmmm , not sure I ever made it 😁😁😁. Concussion will take its time to recover from , we need and appreciate your knowledgeable and informative comments on here so take care of yourself 😊. Muddled brains , I haven't fallen off a horse just tripped over my own feet , or sometimes nothing but I know the feeling . 😂😂😂.
@@kathellison8084 I've fallen off, been kicked between the eyes by a newborn foal, been stepped on, been kicked and bit. But it still hasn't stopped me from pursuing my second passion in life. My first was medicine, then the horses and training S&R Dogs and Handlers. Jenn 💖
Good afternoon John. How lovely a mare named Victoria. I have a picture of her from the summer. You couldnt read the hoof number back then. 😊. Quarterback is a sweet boy. 😊
Blessed day John, and everyone I look forward to everyday seeing your Awesome vedios Thank you so very much, I love spending the time with you all😊 We're not having sunshine here in Martin, Tn. USA I got my sunshine with y'all, thanks ❤ God Bless😊❤🙋♀️🐴💂
🤣🤣🤣Hello John! Your humor is right on target again! The crowds are like they're waiting for the stores to open on Boxing Day! It's totally mind-boggling!
Another amazing and fun video. You have had me 😂 at you humour. Speaking as a school governor i think you will find that alot of schools are not doing so many overseas trips at the moment due to the cost of living. Brilliant work of the trooper on controling that horse..i think the poor horse was hoping for a gallop over hyde park lol ❤❤
Watching the school kids interacting with the Chelsea Pensioners, made me smile! What a nice change that was to see polite young men. Does anybody know what is the best time to be at the horse guards before the crowds? I will be visiting the UK end of April early May. Seeing that crowd on this video has made me think twice! I am not comfortable in crowds, but the reason for my visit is to actually look at the guards and take a photo. This has been on my bucket list forever! My grandad was a British Royal Marine officer for 27 yrs and spent some time around these guards, now I want to walk in his footsteps, somewhat! What time do the horses come into the boxes? I think I heard John say 10:00am???
The absolute golden time is a sunny morning when the first horses, boxmen and troopers emerge from the stables at 10:00am sharp. Never get tired of that! 🙏🏻
It amazes me how the tourists are oblivious to people already standing, filming. Man with baby is determined to be in the middle of things. It was really hectically busy today. You have very sharp eyes John. I'm still giggling at "Kitty". Great that Majesty was calm in the box. Obviously the crowd rattled him. Many thanks.
The MOD officer was exemplary ( that's now the word of the day ! ) great voice on him telling the mass of bodies " behind the second white line " don't argue with him !!! Was he the one who shouted at the idiot cyclist as well ? If not they'll soon be in need of some throat lozenges to keep going over the weekend 😋. Unnamed horse is a beauty . Considering the mass of tourists there was no crowding the horses or apart from the poor Dutch lady " stand clear of the arches " shouts . Enjoy your evening John , back for more tomorrow 😊
I feel that if there are too many people close to the horse that the guard should back the horse up to give it some space, I have such respect for what they do and how great they handle controlling them with one hand it is amazing no one has been badly hurt, thank you for another great video
I hope the horses and soldiers understand "we" don't intend to be "stupid and rude". It is exciting to be here and to see these wonderous programs around such beautiful buildings. Please forgive our ignorance. Today, I am of the belief the children were mostly well behaved.😊
I was very nervous when Majesty headed towards the crowded arches and afterwards when the yard was stuffed with humans who would have been seriously hurt if she had kicked off again at the front! Thankfully, she settled down immediately. Another great video and such a beautiful day, weather-wise.
0oh dear I was getting so annoyed with the chap carrying the kid in an orange parka, risking it by putting it so close to the horse, obviously wanting to be filmed. Then You, John, describing the scene, mentioned the chap with the ‘sacrificial kid’ I hooted. God I love your dry humour!
I would love to have a moment of interaction with the horse guard, but not at the expense of upsetting the horse. The horse needs his space, as he is doing a job. Will research the best time to visit, and a lain the face that I am 92% English heritage. You are so blessed, and I feel privileged that I can learn more about my English heritage, without me being a problem for these majestic animals. Love following your posts!
Replay from NC USA where did all these people come from its very very crowded there this morning I loved it when those students each shook those soldiers hands Very respectful to them That was so nice Again I Love ❤️ your channel You’re the only one I watch Glad the sun is out it’s raining here all day Hope you have a good rest of the day Thank you ❤
Good morning, John. You got the sun, I got more rain. The creek on the left side is rising fast. The channel on the right side is overflowing. The lake is high. Send an ark and a handsome rescuer...
In all my life I have never ever seen so many disrespectful people. Not only do they upset the horses and riders they put themselves and others into danger.
I knew a big mare who frequently experimented with carnivorism. She'd pin her ears and try very hard to bite anyone within reach of her stall door, let alone when she was being groomed and tacked up. She was scary! She was a difficult ride, except for jumping, which she loved. She'd fight and fight her riders until they pointed her at a fence, and away she went, ears up and happy. I've met many Appaloosas, and she was the only mean one. 18 hands = 6 feet (measured from the ground to the top of the withers, the bump at the base of the horse's neck)
33:20 woo that trooper deserves a thanks for his control of his horse. His skill stopped a nasty accident happening. I do hope that the powers that be, think carefully and listen to the MOD police and the troopers about the crowding in the yard.
John you probably told people about the statue of a man on a horse across from horse guard, if you don't mind you you tell me who it is please. Good morning and have a great day. Thank you for being me and all of us a little bit of London England. Thank you. Awesome Teacher, and children
It's a previous Duke of Cambridge Prince George not sure of dates. John has a video around Christmas 23 with hay and sawdust on the statue. The troopers bed down the horse for Christmas 😊
Are those people idiots or just plain stupid 🙀They just stand and watch the horse running straight at them and don’t even move a muscle, even when the horse rears up. With a horse that agitated he could have flattened a few of them and kicked the others. The trooper was their only saving grace.
John, thank you for not cursing on your videos. You may do it on your own time, but as an elderly woman, I’m so tired of everyone from age 4 and up use the F word in every sentence and it just makes my skin crawl.. I know I’m old fashioned, but still….. anyway it’s a beautiful start to the day. Have a good one and let’s see some nippers. Lol😊😊😊
Sounds a bit gusty……..horses will NOT like that, but nice seeing the Blues riding out in the sunshine. 😂young boy pulling up his collar to have his picture taken with the Chelsea Pensioners, and his teacher(?) reaching in to flatten it again 🤭. That MoD officer has some lungs on him, doesn’t he?😂 yeah with regard to the empty box, I believe there was a bit of an issue with the horses, and yes this one is def a different horse. Holy guacamole there’s a LOT of tourists…….wow😳. It must be minion feed out time😂 yes exemplary is a word 🤯🤣and that was an exemplary effort to use it 😇 I believe that tourists check any existing common sense or intelligence on the plane John 🙄(for the most part at least😎) I loved “I can do louder”😳🤣
It’s good the MOD Police do a lot of the controlling of tourists. They need to make that second white line a brighter different colour plus put it back a bit more from the box. They also need signs to tell people to stand Behind the second line not on it or in front of it, I do worry someone will get hurt. Goodness knows what they will do if the crowds get too big?
I am surprised how close the tourists are allowed also. I love horses and feel comfortable around them, but in a crowd as thick as the crowds I have seen in these videos I would stay well back.
Beautiful horses in the sun with shiny coats, gorgeous guards and funny comments from you, brighten my bad last days - Thank you for what you do. Oh a short question, do you know when the Major General Inspection is ? Isn't it this month ?
The mare, Victoria, on left side of the gates on her right side of her neck seems to have had an injury. Depending how she moves her neck you can see like a hole. It’s healed over well. God bless them for their service 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
@@donnat9746 I believe the horses are all shaved because you don’t see any marks where they are stroked by the public. It just looks like an old wound where there might have muscle damage by puncture wound. Can’t get a close enough look without movement. Just me, I find the strangest things that question my brain. Always have, as a child I was always figuring out how things worked or how to make things work. Worked with my Dad on keeping the vehicles in repair and oil changes, spark plugs and antifreeze replacement. Worked on the rototiller, lawnmower to me it was very interesting. I collected butterflies and moths. Loved watching nature. Lived out in the country had to create your own entertainment. Too many children are stuck behind computers and don’t get out and see stuff. God Bless you, your family and friends and keep everyone happy, healthy and safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
International Woman's Day...protests all over the world. Thank God no music or drums...with the wind today it would be too much for the mounts. Huge crowds there...are the schools still on break?
From USA: Great video with informative narration as usual. The guard's building is massive, multi storied, and includes a museum. Can you video inside the museum? And what else goes on in the rest of the facility?
The building is HQ London District British Army. Also the room over the arch overlooking the parade ground was the office of the Duke of Wellington. If your interested in the horses on u tube check out Household Cavalry on Holkam Beach.
Too many tourists! Doesn't anyone work anymore? Or go to school? lol! I have such admiration for the guards and their horses. I am not familiar with the term "pensioner". In the US we're known as retirees when we receive a pension. That's me. Is it a military term? Thanks for a great video, John!🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
@@LondonCityWalks It won’t be Long before the Easter Tourists arrive 😳🙈 ( Silly Season ) You will need a cask of Whiskey or a Barrel of Brandy to calm your nerves Best Of British with them 😅
@@charlie4739 TBH the point from Easter to August is my favourite part of the year: no heavy clothing, no-one sneezing and ... The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery!
USA we have spring break first week of April. Dose other country have something like what we do? As I see so many young children that should be in school.
Was that your friend who was not behind the second white line with his camera?! Oh John this summer is going to be awful. The unknown horse is totally stunning. Appears to want to nip. OOPSY is the way to get in video .

Made me feel very emotional to see the respect those young lads had for the Chelsea Pensioners❤❤❤
The children with the Chelsea Pensioners were so, so well behaved and a credit to both their school and parents
Victoria is beautiful! I just love watching the horses, soldiers, and tourists. Your commentary is great! You have a wonderful sense of humor. 😁

so funny when the guard in the arch moved before tourists could take pictures. their faces were priceless. 😅😅😅
Great Video again John thank you; full of fun and that amazingly beautiful horse call Majesty.What a stunning creature, and a beautiful day: Kiwi
Tourists who come to London these days are
so bloody rude!!! Why can’t they keep a safe
distance from the Guard’s horse, 4 God’s sake???
They never have before, why would they now ? And I’ve also noticed a lot of “ local accents” in the mix lately.
John, that horse came out of the gate at a canter. I began to wonder if he was going to get the horse stopped in time.
Blessed day John, and everyone
I look forward to everyday seeing your Awesome vedios

It must be minion feed out time😂 yes exemplary is a word 🤯🤣and that was an exemplary effort to use it 😇 I believe that tourists check any existing common sense or intelligence on the plane John 🙄(for the most part at least😎) I loved “I can do louder”😳🤣
I never understood why it takes so long for them to take a picture. They stand there it seems forever sometimes.
My thoughts exactly!
Hi john.. Majesty is truly a good looking Horse.. I think He likes you, always seems to be looking at You.. 😂, Beautiful Day...
Majesty and the other horse from troop three is absolutely are stunning horses❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s good the MOD Police do a lot of the controlling of tourists. They need to make that second white line a brighter different colour plus put it back a bit more from the box. They also need signs to tell people to stand Behind the second line not on it or in front of it, I do worry someone will get hurt. Goodness knows what they will do if the crowds get too big?
I am surprised how close the tourists are allowed also. I love horses and feel comfortable around them, but in a crowd as thick as the crowds I have seen in these videos I would stay well back.
How many signs are you willing to post all over the walls at Horseguards? Its not something that will happen.
Thank you John.
I wonder what will happen when there are just too many tourists around to get the horses changed.
Beautiful horses in the sun with shiny coats, gorgeous guards and funny comments from you, brighten my bad last days - Thank you for what you do. Oh a short question, do you know when the Major General Inspection is ? Isn't it this month ?
Always a great job John. Do you ever worry about getting mugged?
I do worry greatly - for the subsequent health of the mugger! 😂
The mare, Victoria, on left side of the gates on her right side of her neck seems to have had an injury. Depending how she moves her neck you can see like a hole. It’s healed over well.
God bless them for their service 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I was wondering if the area was shaved for blood work.
@@donnat9746
I believe the horses are all shaved because you don’t see any marks where they are stroked by the public.
It just looks like an old wound where there might have muscle damage by puncture wound. Can’t get a close enough look without movement.
Just me, I find the strangest things that question my brain. Always have, as a child I was always figuring out how things worked or how to make things work. Worked with my Dad on keeping the vehicles in repair and oil changes, spark plugs and antifreeze replacement.
Worked on the rototiller, lawnmower to me it was very interesting.
I collected butterflies and moths. Loved watching nature. Lived out in the country had to create your own entertainment. Too many children are stuck behind computers and don’t get out and see stuff.
God Bless you, your family and friends and keep everyone happy, healthy and safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Very good video today John.
Logic and common sense are super hero powers.
The Handmaidens Tale 😂😂😂that was a good one❤❤
I have learned so much by watching your video’s, learning so much about my heritage.
London is a beautiful area to visit. My brother and his wife visited for their honeymoon, I understand now why!
These majestic animals deserve the respect of the public, to preform their duties to the king. People need to understand that!
Many countries should be thankful they are able to witness these British traditions.
I hope these troops are compensated financially for their ability to control their animal!
Love your channel John! Everything u do.👏👏👏😂😂👍👍❤️💜🙏💕♥️
Thank you for explaining why protection can ever be put up for the horses, surely they can but a stop fondling the horses at all?
International Woman's Day...protests all over the world. Thank God no music or drums...with the wind today it would be too much for the mounts. Huge crowds there...are the schools still on break?
Note, john, those students are a small group, much easier to control.
From USA: Great video with informative narration as usual. The guard's building is massive, multi storied, and includes a museum. Can you video inside the museum? And what else goes on in the rest of the facility?
The building is HQ London District British Army. Also the room over the arch overlooking the parade ground was the office of the Duke of Wellington. If your interested in the horses on u tube check out Household Cavalry on Holkam Beach.

The new Guards must have decided to have some agro pills when they saw the crowd. 😂
Or a large brandy !😋
@@kathellison8084 or a very large Whiskey and soda. 🥃
Beautiful horses but I would be standing way back you never know
Mind the Gap!!!…love it!😂😂🌻
John your comments are so funny
They're still loud and noisey. Poor horses.
Too many tourists! Doesn't anyone work anymore? Or go to school? lol! I have such admiration for the guards and their horses. I am not familiar with the term "pensioner". In the US we're known as retirees when we receive a pension. That's me. Is it a military term? Thanks for a great video, John!🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
🙋♀️🌈👋👍👍👍hi John 😇 👋
Hi John there are so many people do they crawl from between the stones in the morning
Thanks
You really are too kind to me Charlie. Thank you! ❤
@@LondonCityWalks
It won’t be Long before the Easter Tourists arrive 😳🙈 ( Silly Season )
You will need a cask of Whiskey or a Barrel of Brandy to calm your nerves
Best Of British with them 😅
@@charlie4739 TBH the point from Easter to August is my favourite part of the year: no heavy clothing, no-one sneezing and ... The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery!
@@LondonCityWalks👍🏻😊
I hope to visit here one day😊
John today is National Women’s Day
Bravo to the women in the King's Guard.
USA we have spring break first week of April. Dose other country have something like what we do? As I see so many young children that should be in school.
Was that your friend who was not behind the second white line with his camera?! Oh John this summer is going to be awful. The unknown horse is totally stunning. Appears to want to nip. OOPSY is the way to get in video .
I’m laughing so much about the guy you said lost his hair he could easily be a troopers horse 😂😂😂😂 you are so funny, classic one liners 😂
U call kids , minyons ; I call them orderves 😅 ❤ Quarterback❤
auto spell won't let me spell correctly
