The peace signs really piss me off

[@bizbazboz]

to be honest it's more of a cultural thing in Japan & South Korea (don't know about China). It's kind of like our thumbs-up.

Me too, it’s so irritating

[@eveoakley6270]

@@bizbazbozthank you. I always wondered why this was always done by the Chinese, but as you say it’s South Korea and Japan.

No nonsense soldier. Well done sir

[@happysquirrels57]

Please tell those in charge to stop people from touching the horse. The guard cannot do his job when he has to keep a look out what people are doing. I feel so sorry for the horses.

[@lmae989]

This guard is poised and alert for any discretions. Love it. Still don’t understand why people crowd around the horse and it’s suffocating! 🙄

[@GMN360]

The visitors haven’t been told to not touch, so they touch. Simple.

[@azaradog1804]

Poor guard spent more time watching those silly tourists than 'guarding'. I don't get why they all want to touch the horse in their pix.

[@mariannehutchison5487]

There should be an on the spot fine issued by the Police for this and any Disrespectful behaviour directed towards the Horse or the Guard. I’m Appalled that they are allowed to show such Disrespect towards our Soldiers and the Abuse of the Horses makes me So Mad. Time to Demand RESPECT from these Tourists….We have become a “ Laughing stock “ around the World 😡

[@shawnhierlihy3690]

​@GMN360 What do you think that sign to the left of the guard says? Can you read the line above "Thank You"?

[@GMN360]

@@shawnhierlihy3690 I can clearly read and understand the signs that states ‘do not touch the reins’ which had nothing to do with my comment which related to the why do people mill around touching the horses. The public touch the horses because they have not been told otherwise.

[@marieevelyndunlap]

It's well past time that there should be a Do Not Cross line around the box. Too many people crowding in much too close, still grabbing the reins and making a commotion.

[@bizbazboz]

I agree, something has to be done. It's a tricky spot though, the guards on horses face out onto a pavement then it's a main road leading to Trafalgar Square. It's time for some sort of radical solution though, the time has come to severely limit the tourists access to the guards and horses.

[@kaafromoz]

In a huge way it is up to the Tour Guides with groups that don't read or speak English to tell them and insist they follow the rules, we see so many huge tour groups coming in all the time so even a mark on the ground would not work and a lot don't care they encourage their groups to do the wrong things at times. Even changing the sign has not stopped them sadly.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

I agree.

[@mariaharrison7228]

Yes, thank you, they are all practically leaning on the horse, way, way too close.

[@pearlford121]

Well as i keep saying its KC that should be doing something about it.

[@dixie3086]

This is one of my favorite guards. I call him Eagle Eye. He misses nothing!! Always watching. I truly wish they could make a painted area around them and so one could touch the horse. There's no way they could put up a barrier, too dangerous for the horse. And even if people don't know what reins are, they must know with any common sense that those straps are connected to that horse!!! Why on earth would you grasp hold of them?

[@janettesinclair6279]

I guess they see other people holding the reins and just think it is ok. The way that the tourists invade the personal space of the horse and guard is quite distressing.

[@suehoward1343]

The horse watching the police riding by-is thinking " Take me with you" please!! Away from the crowds, noise & rude tourists. Thank you for your videos.

[@robertarobertson238]

That's exactly what I was thinking! I can't understand why the NOISY crowds get SO close to the horses and Guards - it is so disrespecctful! Most of them have NO idea of the discipline and service required of the Military Forces. I want to shout .... "Off with their heads!" 😊

Oh, I just wrote something similar!!!

[@carolineberry3169]

I have noticed how interested the guards horses are when the police horses are about, probably herd instinct but they do look delighted to see them

I love how the one police officer touched his hat in salute to the guard when he rode past! As others have commented, I too love the way the guard is super aware of what the tourists are doing and ever on the ready to protect his horse. Great job, Guard!

[@wendymoney2043]

This is the No1 Guard💂…I call him “Kicker”…when they get within an inch of him…they feel the toe of his boot! 😉 He’s totally focused + hates people crowding his horse. Sad to say…Respect is not a behaviour taught at home or school anymore, most of these tourists behave as if they’re at Disney World!

[@lyndarobinson9850]

This soldier cracks me up 😊 he's so onto them lol

[@davecaddy513]

Why don't they just change the signs to read "Do not touch the horses"

[@kathellison8084]

They either can't or won't read the sign as it is now so even if it had red flashing lights around it , it would be a waste of time !

[@MarlynMeehan]

You could slap them about the head with any sign you like and it still wouldn't make any difference to most of them.

[@KristinaMay2109]

Same thought✋

[@hythekent]

This guard is totally on the ball and super alert to TRGs (tourist rein grabbers)

[@hazelb7218]

I like this guard.....he is always looking out for his horse....there is another one too.....the kicker.....he is always looking out for his horse too!! l

[@hettyphilips]

This Guard keeps a sharp eye 🤣

[@StandingStillStuff]

Three people from the same group grabbed the reins…They understood English language as the woman said ‘’sorry,sorry.’’

[@marieevelyndunlap]

Living in the west coast of Canada, where there is a large Asian community, I can say that "sorry, sorry" is used frequently. It doesn't mean the person is actually sorry or has any plans to modify their behaviour. It means absolutely nothing.

[@theresaryan2280]

I love this guard he’s so protective of his horse he watches both sides constantly good for you sir and many many thanks for your service

[@pittiedoglove]

This Guard is protectively watching any interaction the tourists have with his horse. And I’m thinking the horse would love to bite those phones that are shoved in his face, I know I would!

[@pamelaadams1130]

This guard is watching all the time, no one is going to get away with grabbing the reins while he’s on duty, and some of the nails on the wemen are like talons pity the horses .

[@rez3501]

I can't help but feel so sorry for the horses and the guards. It has to be so stressful and suffocating. They are not props! These people are just rude. They dont even move for others to get photos Not everyone wants a photo with some goofball trying to act cool, silly or attempting to do some weird form of modeling I almost want to start a petition to keep tourists at least a foot or two away from the horses and guards.

[@ginnyalan]

I love this guard, no one disrespects his horse

[@m.e.w.4394]

This young Guard is on the alert - checks left to right, then right to left, that’s a lot of work! It’s clear he really cares for his mount and will stand for no nonsense from crazy overly entitled tourists around his horse. I think that’s also a reason his horse is so calm, the rider is communicating with the horse with his movements, which seem to be reassuring as well as commanding in the right measure. It’s evident the horse trusts the soldier will take care of him.❤️

[@prettypalomino8528]

These well trained horses seem to be aware of who is approaching them. Innocent, little hands are tolerated. Big, dumb adults are more likely to not be tolerated. A well placed nip is a fair warning to those who ignore both written and equine signs of annoyance.

[@rosiehunt8491]

The guard is hyper-alert. It's almost like he expects certain tourists to be more poorly behaved than others. Some seem to be very entitled and think rules don't apply to them

[@charlainemarkesen4708]

Loki at that gaze. The soldier eyes are constantly watching those hands that touch his precious mount. 🐎

[@JaneWakeley-eg2od]

This Gorgeous Guard reminds me of my late Father (same Regiment) granted the tourists were better in the 1950's he said you got the odd riotous crowd but no where near the amount there are now. These days they have just got to take that perfect photo and God help anyone who stands in their way!. The Guard has the eyes of an Eagle on the alert and ready to pounce!.

[@kimlavery9775]

It’s quite disturbing to watch this - the people are getting right in the horses face - I wonder how they would feel if a total stranger shoved a camera and face in their personal space - one guy actually had his hair in the horses eye he was so close to the horses face - I just feel sad watching this because the guard and the horse just have to tolerate it…I’m not sure what the answer is it’s just so distressing and disrespectful to these magnificent beings and these trained guards….

So many people have never been around horses. At a recent farm show I attended there was a horse set up just so kids could climb up steps to his side to pet him. I know my current horse would have applied for that job. And children, when presented safely, need to find some way to connect with animals other than dogs and cats.

He clearly doesn’t take any nonsense from these pesky tourists! 😂 One thing I noticed recently he’s (constantly) checking side to side (tilting his head or lean/rocking his body a bit) when the tourists are on both sides of the horse. I hope he doesn’t get a headache from it! 😥

They walk right in front of others who are standing for a picture, no respect for anything or anyone.
