Timestamps: 0:30 The soldier checks on the horseman. 2:12 How delightful! The Horseman offered a gentle smile to the young girl, and she reciprocated with a smile of her own. 4:34 She will remember this moment forever. Thank you, King's Guard! 13:37 The King's Guard, Gatesman, getting ready for the famous Changing of the Guard Ceremony at 3 pm, while the armed police officers ask stubborn tourists to stand behind the second white line. 21:16 The King's Guard reacted when these two women walked into the restricted area. 24:16 Do not touch the horse. The horseman warned the tourist who tried to touch his gorgeous horse. 30:20 The Gatesman checks on the horseman on a hot day in London. 33:51 Don't touch the reins, sir! Visitors are no longer to touch the King's horses either. 34:03 Armed police officers intervene remind tourists that they are not allowed to touch the horse. "Hands up!" 39:09 "Move little back!" Tourists respect the Guard's and horse's personal space when visiting the Horse Guards. 41:05 Heartwarming: She asks permission, and the Horseman allows her to do that. She thanks the King's Guard for this gentle act of kindness. 41:43 I never see tourists doing this at Horse Guards. 43:26 The Gatesman checks on the Horsemen. 49:20 Special children enjoying the day... Thanks to the King's Guard for making it possible. 59:00 Tourists blocking the Gatesman way. 59:44 Notice the huge mascot on the left-hand side of the KZbin video. I can't believe I didn't see it until now. See it at 59:13 as the mascot is walking... 1:05:50 The Horseman reacted to this tourist. "Don't touch it!" 1:07:52 ""It's not allowed to touch the horse!" The horseman reacts. 1:10:47 "Make way!" the king's guard said to the tourists, as they were blocking his way. 1:11:07 Horses and troopers are in the courtyard for the last ceremony of the day, Informally known as the Punishment Parade, the tradition of the 4 O'clock inspection Ceremony. 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. - Household Cavalry Museum. Date filmed: Today, 16 August 2024. 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. 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. - Information above is according to householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/blog/the-kings-life-guard/ - Have you ever visited the Household Cavalry Museum?

It's sad the police had to come and tell the guards their job.

Why is the guard letting people touch the horse

@damyoung7923 2 ай бұрын

I really miss the previous horse guards who were responsible and strict to protect the horses! I'm shocked by some guards ignoring the new rule! Those irresponsible and incompetent guards would be better to look for a new job in a zoo!

@sherriegoins8971 2 ай бұрын

I understand what you are saying but it looks like to me that some of the horses enjoy some attention at times except Ormonde.

I turisti pensano già di essere allo zoo o anche a disneyland! Ignorantì e irrispettosi. E le guardie sbagliano a permettere loro di toccare il cavallo!

Alguns turistas são desrespeitosos,parece deboxar dos soldados, pobrezinho do cavalo 😔

Sad how people can’t watch for others if they’re ready to take photos- instead just walk in front of the others and smile.

a guardsman know his horse and will allow certain people to touch his horse out of good will and as an ambassador for the king, when he thinks his horse is getting agitated or showing lack of interest of the people coming up, he will advise people to stand back until the horse is settled, horses love the children and disabled as it shows empathy , this mainly what this is done daily

Why is the guard letting a woman touch the horse when the sign asks not to touch the horse

@CharmaineChaplin-ql4jk 2 ай бұрын

That was so nice of the guard..poor little girl kept getting rude people in front of her...and the woman obviously cannot read the huge redand white sign..

Se ci sono i cartelli che VIETANO ai turisti di tocccare il cavallo, gli stessi turisti non devono farlo anche se la guardia da loro il consenso. Purtroppo un vecchio detto dice: la madre degli idioti è sempre incinta! Senza contare che le guardie non dovrebbero dare consensi ma negarli.
