As someone who's father and two brothers served,I know how much bulling is done to uniforms and equipment and because of the position they hold,the guards are subjected to even more scrutiny by their NCOs and Officers. The hours that go in polishing helmets,breast plates and boots is never ending for these guys.

Back in 1982 i was sent to Combermere Bks along with 100 other Royal Navy Medical Branch Ratings to cover thr impending London Ambulance Strike.They took us on a jolly to Knightsbridge Bks,we got to look at the preparations prior to mounting Guard and to be honest i wouldnt want to do it.Bulling a pair of RN boots is one thing but those Dragoon boots are summat else.If anyone gets picked up for theur Uniform or Horse Tack then life is about to become unpleasant for them.Yes we took the piss out of them in the Bar as is the way with Jolly Jack,but we did admire them for all the effort they put in on Ceremonial,i wouldnt last half an hour in that kit especially the Boots.

I don't think the tourists should be allowed to get so close to the guards. I see plenty of armed police around but doing nothing to help the situation. These are guards that have been on active duty ❤

Disney land world or whatever can’t hold a candle to a farm of animals or even a horse farm or even this place in London where there are guards an horses protecting our country im from North Carolina USA and I’m proud of your guards of the crown

They aren’t for amusement when they tell you to move that’s for a reason they aren’t actors they fully trained soldiers who have served in major conflicts they will inflict hurt or injury on you and they will use a sword or a fully loaded rifle towards you you may think it’s funny but they have orders to kill anyone any intruder who thinks they are better then them so think twice before challenging them

This is a military establishment, tourists should stand clear at all times. The delf entitlement of these people is disgusting. MOVE

Has anyone else noticed that when a foot guard comes along, all eyes go down to the boots and they just stop and stare, not believing what they see. Those boots are pretty awesome though, and no doubt they spend hours cleaning and polishing them. We British are very proud of them. (The guards, not the boots) 😂😂

The way the tourists carrying on you would think they think the guard is dead standing there. They really do my heard in watching them

If a soldier yells a command obey as he has a duty to preform and those who are yelled at is of their own doings

What I see as a former UK veteran is a lot of love and respect from all corners of the World sure it’s busy and crowded but it is London and the vast majority of visitors are fine with a few exceptions just bear in mind it is a military base with well trained and drilled soldiers going about their business and if you do happen to stray into their way you will get hollered at other than that get your snap and treat people as you’d expect to be treated yourself and you won’t go too far wrong. 🇬🇧

honnetement un petit pouce ,un merci ou un petit sourire envers le garde ça mange pas de pain

Amazes me how many people act like they have never seen a horse before.😂 The guard is there to protect. Not to entertain you vacationers😂😂 RESPECT PEOPLE ❤

People need to show respect to horses and the guards

The guard and horse are working, admire them, respect them, but DON'T touch. It's not a petting zoo for your entertainment!!!

Well done guard.

I'm thinking that if they would point that sword forward when marching that would be more exciting & affective lol

Omg! They are swarming today!😮

Why are they even allowing these tourists to enter these premises. Maybe they should start charging entrances fees.

The tourists should ask permission too ask the Kings guard if it's OK too stroke the horse not just go up and stroke it with out permission

I feel for these guards 💂‍♂️ and horses 🐎 the disrespect they experience is so 😔

Can't get over people who think they need to pose for pictures taken. You look silly and giving stupid hand signs. Grow up and show respect and learn to read. Keep your hands off the reins!!

In days of yore the guards would be much more harsh.

I hope all of these human hands have been washed BEFORE touching the horses.

I would love to hear from guards or former guards. I am just wondering, as obnoxious as some tourists can be, do you ever quietly enjoy the attention? (Because I admit, I might secretly enjoy it for awhile. LOL) I know that once the novelty wears off, it must just be a "job" and you must want to point your swords at tourists. LOL Whatever the case, I commend them all for their patience and their success in their positions. May their days be blessed with twatty-free, reign-grabbing wanker tourists.

Am I wrong - aren't these Working Guards & Working Horses ? I think the public should be stopped from touching them. It gives me the HeeBeGeeBes.
