2:41 The famous Changing of the Guards Ceremony at 3 pm.
8:50 "Don't touch the horse, please respect the sign!"
14:32 "May I pet the king's horse?" the tourist asked the horseman.
38:18 Special visitors with the female soldier at Horse Guards.
39:16 The gorgeous black horse brought the Boss for the Four O'clock Inspection Ceremony that is about to begin.
43:54 Tourist should show more respect and not inspect the soldier like that.
46:38 The Gatesman checks on the Horsemen, as he usually does every 15 minutes.
54:57 At the end of the day, the soldier tells the tourists to stand behind the bollards. They are getting ready for the famous Four O'clock Inspection Ceremony in the courtyard that happens every day at 4pm...
Why are the soldiers inspected every day at 4pm? Why is it called the Punishment Parade?
At 4pm every day in the courtyard on the Whitehall side of Horse Guards, a short ceremony takes place that brings an end to the sentry duties of the two mounted Household Cavalry in the sentry boxes.
The two troopers on horseback, along with six guards on foot, will form a line in the courtyard, where they are inspected by an officer in the regiment who will have ridden down from Knightsbridge Barracks by Hyde Park to do so. Once satisfied, the officer dismisses the troopers, ending the Mounted Guard’s duties for the day.
Informally known as the Punishment Parade, the tradition of the 4 o’clock inspection began in 1894. Queen Victoria arrived at Horse Guards, expecting to find the Household Cavalry ready and waiting to escort her back to Buckingham Palace, only to find the guards either asleep, drunk or gambling on the job! Deeply unamused by this, Victoria commanded that for the next 100 years, the guards be inspected every day at 4pm to ensure they were taking their duties seriously (hardly surprising she would wish that, given by 1894, there had been seven attempts on Victoria’s life). The century of punishment technically ended in 1994, but Queen Elizabeth II ordered the Household Cavalry to carry it on indefinitely as a regimental tradition, one that continues to this day.

NFO:
The King’s Life Guard is conducted by soldiers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. Horse Guards is named after the troops who have mounted The King’s Life Guard here since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660.
The ceremony has remained mostly unchanged for over 350 years.
Changing of The King's Life Guard
The ceremony of changing of the King’s Life Guard starts at 11am with the Old Guard formed up on Horse Guards Parade. As the New Guard arrives, a trumpeter sounds a royal salute and the officer salutes. The New Guard forms up facing the old one....
TIMINGS OF DUTIES
The Guard Change currently takes place on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am.
The two iconic soldiers on horses that mount duty on Whitehall at the entrance of Horse Guards change on the hour every hour from 10am until 4pm.
This ensures that, regardless of the time you choose to visit the museum, you are guaranteed a captivating spectacle of ceremonial duties in progress.
The King’s Life Guard is the name given to the guard duty performed by The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. It dates from 1660 when The Life Guards mounted a permanent guard at the entrance to Whitehall Palace.
Responsibility for mounting the guard alternates between
The Life Guards and
The Blues and Royals.
An inspection at Hyde Park Barracks decides which ‘relief’ a soldier will do: the smartest will carry out his duty on his horse and the least well turned out will do longer duties on foot. The guard then rides to Horse Guards via Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill and The Mall.

INFO:
The King’s Life Guard
The King’s Life Guard is conducted by soldiers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. Horse Guards is named after the troops who have mounted The King’s Life Guard here since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660.
The ceremony has remained mostly unchanged for over 350 years.
Changing of The King's Life Guard
The ceremony of changing of the King’s Life Guard starts at 11am with the Old Guard formed up on Horse Guards Parade. As the New Guard arrives, a trumpeter sounds a royal salute and the officer salutes. The New Guard forms up facing the old one.
Once both lines are still, the corporal major, senior non-commissioned officer and sentries of the New Guard (the first relief) rein back their horses and leave for the guard room to take over their duties, which lasts for 48 hours. The sentries from the Old Guard return to the parade ground and the entire Old Guard returns back to barracks.
When the monarch is in London, there is a ‘long guard’ consisting of an officer, corporal major (who carries the regimental standard), two non commissioned officers, a trumpeter and 10 troopers. When the monarch is away, the guard is reduced to two non-commissioned officers and 10 troopers known as a ‘short guard’.
Whatever the season or weather, members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ride down from Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge to take over guard duties.

#thekingsguarduk Thank you for your service! ❤️🇬🇧
The elderly in wheelchair leaves no room for emergency exit. How can anyone clear the way in an out of control horse.
What year is this taken
Thought I was watching today! That’s okay - in all the time I’ve been watching the horse guard- today the tourist have been very respectful! Only one person attempted touching the horse and amazing that the guard said No! Very proud of him because once it starts one person after another begins all the annoying petting! People have been very good today giving space to the horse- only one girl decided to stand right next to the horses head and he let her know he wasn’t having it! It’s been an enjoyable day- hope to see many more like it! Thanks videographer! Great job!
These horse guards actually protected their horses! So glad to see it!
Well done guard for stopping that woman touching the horse💖
8:56 & 14:34 - And that's all it takes! Great job by both guards!! / 26:57 - Why is she just staring at the horse? Does she think they are telepathically linked? Horse whisperer? Psssttt, it's me friend! 🤣🤣🤣 The horse just ignores her. / 37:00 - Again, all is takes it to open your mouth! With your voice you command respect and keep people in line! Great job!
*Both of these guards did an outstanding job!! Thank you!!*
These 2 guards did a very good job setting boundaries for tourists to not go near the horses.Good job Kings guards👏👏👏
Well done with the new sign. Perhaps they should put it on both sides of the alcove. It eliminates language barriers and prevents anyone from not only touching the horse, but obviously the reins too if the tourists are not in close proximity. They may have to also put a visual, ground-limited area around the horse and guard to avoid further interactions. Even though the horses and guards are not actually on duty for long, they shouldn't have to deal with incessant tourists. Ormonde will miss biting his silly prey - LOL!! Even though I know horses shouldn't bite - he is hilarious and stands his ground. Just kidding, best wishes from Canada.
It's about time they moved the HERD back past the BOLLARDS...
Ese padre maravilloso explicando porqué no se debe molestar ...❤❤❤
Love that one guard. He makes them stay back away from the horse. Still disrespectful tourists those girls.
Tourists stand right by the sign and then ask can I touch! What makes them so entitled? Hope they see these videos and realise how stupid and unimportant they really are
Should have a NO LOITERING sign as well 😏....blocking entry/exits, sidewalk, pathway.
If they can’t understand ‘don’t touch’ I doubt they’d understand ‘no loitering’ 😂😂😂
That should be the police’s job
They should NEVER be allowed through the gate
Problem is, some guards enforce the no touching rule and others don’t. Very confusing.
This touching of the horse has got to be stopped
Why did she ignore it ? Probably because it has not been enforced . It is good that it was on this occassion.
We forget how big the horses are!
To many guards let the people touch them not following the rules.
It looks so much better - very professional and the guards are now protected and tourists no longer humiliate them. They look real good.
最後にとても毅然とした
警備員さんをみてスッキリしました！これぞ真の警備員🎉🎉🎉
All human don'ttouch！老人、子供、身体の不自由人okはno! 厳しいけど平等に触らせない
I wonder if the horses know what the bells mean
The ones that can count, do 😅

I love Blk Eyed Peas. Knew them when they first came out. I'd play their music when I drove my rag-top Benz SLK in Texas in my younger days.
Stupid hand signs seem obligatory from tourists today
Оба гвардейца молодцы! Синим нужно у них поучиться.
Гвардейцы думают. Туристы надоели.
Туристы думают. без нас не будет и вас. Мы вам платим что бы вы были.
What's so sad is it is so close to the death of Princess Diana 😢
標識をかざしてるのに
一々さわっていいですか？の
しつもんに、、笑い
やはり何かが？不足してますね😅
They walk very awkwardly in those boots - nt upright like you would expect a soldier to be
They are very stiff one trooper said its difficult give them a pass. They are leg protection for riding.
C’est ça votre problème ? Posez-vous la question …… la fatigue et aussi peut être problème santé ! Pauvre de vous …… la critique , oui ce sont de valeureux soldats , courageux mais …….. pas de théâtre ! Comme les gens critiquent facilement……. Continuez !!!! Monique 🇫🇷

You try walking in riding boots that go up over the knees. Very awkward. They do very well.
These blasted body and hand poses really give me the hump😡
I think the hand makes the horse look like a goat .
23:16 lol 😲 she forgot to get dressed.
この広場で一体何万ぼんの
髪の毛が落ちてるだろう、、
なぜか必ず髪を手で
落としてます。
お猿さんでもなんども
同じような事をしませんよね
なんでもありの観光客には
いつも腹立たしい❗
お出かけの前にシャンプーを
わすれずに、、、背一杯の皮肉です。
They go on about kids not doing as they are told look at the adults
Why write a book on here , people come here to enjoy the Royal experence not to see bitching .
Those boots are riding boots no give you try to walk in them
These idiots still try to touch the horse
It takes so long to see what is click baited. Not good
Time stamps are in the description.
Otro m*r*c*n
It makes me wonder if the guards are at fault or the public as the signs are not visible to the public when they come out of the yard so l don't think they are all to blame put them either side also the horse is blocking the view so it's 50/50.
