That young Guard was obviously brought up to have respect for his elders. Such a beautiful gesture 🥰

The best gesture of respect I have ever seen. A serving serviceman showing that not only was he showing his respect for the two vets visiting London on that day, but to all vets that have served before him be they male or female alive or deceased. A salute to both you and your mount trooper, who looked as though he was showing just as much respect as yourself.
