Good morning John. Just googled you. The number of videos goes on & on into infinity! Enough to keep me busy this summer when to bloody hot to go out! Have a great day sir. Tucson Arizona USA🇺🇸

John do you not go live anymore while at horse guards. Really miss watch you live.

[@pamrosser2610]

So happy to see the older gentleman found a reason to get up every morning. Keep the tourist from stealing and to stay out of the arches. Well done sir!

[@Tracywhited2]

Yes !!!! Love that. Just goes to show at any age you can find something to do that has meaning in any large or small way that is a good service

[@sarahbanks9510]

I always admire him. Top gent. 💙

[@SynappticUser-ew6ql]

He's so good at keeping the idiots under control, I believe he is Irish Guard. I think he recently celebrated his 90th birthday, apparently. ❤

[@sued616]

He,s amazing bless him

[@Barry_P]

@@SynappticUser-ew6ql I was the fool who originally mistakenly said 'Irish Guard'. This gentleman, who I regularly chat with, actually served with the Royal Irish Fusiliers. And he will be celebrating his 91st birthday this year.

[@garfield2439]

I googled horseguards in the US. Out of 39 videos 30 were from London City Walks. Yes you are the favorite! Congratulations John. 5 out of the top 10 are you.

[@LondonCityWalks]

Amazing, thank you! 💪🏻

[@garfield2439]

​@@LondonCityWalksyou are so very welcome. Thankyou for all your videos. I have watched a few others and they no way compare to yours. The commentary you do makes such a difference. I only found you a short while but I can see this channel getting very large. I love to watch it grow although I know you like to be able to respond to all. We shall see where it goes.😊

[@donnadow436]

I got all top 10 for Horse Guards. And 29 of 30 total are London City Walks Horse Guards videos!

​@@donnadow436I just did it again and it changed already. I didn't count how many but they all but 2 that I saw were for lcw

I googled Horse Guards in Australia. The first 14 are from London City Walks

[@normanstewart6284]

John, the Israeli tour guide you spoke so eloquently about, was also recorded speaking quite forcefully to a group of disrespectful unorthodox Jews. I naturally didn’t know what he was said to them, but needless to say they immediately stopped and broke up. He is a you say “a good man” and if I may add, extremely honourable and respectful!

"How's he going to get through this lot"! "With the sword, guys, that's how." That put a smile on my face!

[@krisdiamond4045]

the elderly gent also spoke to the disrespectful people on the vid you mentioned with the tour gent. It was such a pleasure to see these 2 men helping our troopers in what was an awkward situation. Brave ,caring gentlemen. Hats off to them both.

[@karenlojkutz9766]

I'm from a small town near Chicago, Illinois, USA. When I Googled Horse Guards your channel is the only one that comes up for 18 pages(10 recommendations per page). Then for the next 10 pages your channel is still mostly coming up with only a few speckled in. The other channels are - Free Tours by Foot, Royal Windsor Horse Show, King's Guards Channel (fan account), 5AS5BS, The King's Guards and Horse UK. You are by far the only account we mostly see. Because you are the best!

[@marylouisesholly3394]

From near Hershey, Pennsylvania ( Chocolatetown) I watch London City Walks every evening …. I love the magnificent horses , I’m proud of the brave guards, and John, you are a National Treasure! Love your videos and clever commentary - many thanks!

[@markkettlewell7441]

These horses are beautifully turned out. I bet a lot of work goes into grooming them.

[@j94us]

G’day John. It would be lovely if you could interview that old trooper who hangs around the guard shop, e.g. his years of service, etc. I’m sure he must have an interesting story or two. Thanks again for your videos.

[@Jadapa]

John, the older Gentleman in Blue was a delight! Thank you for talking with him!

[@raelenestjohn2634]

Hi from Brisbane Australia. I've just checked Google and your videos are dominating . There was only one other besides yours John in all that I scrolled through. Thank you for your amazing entertaining videos. I love your humour and I appreciate your imparting knowledge about Horse Guards for us all. Cheers.😀

[@vivaldi1948]

John, you are such a wonderful ambassador for the city of London.

[@Roox8115]

Well done, John, you've done an amazing job with your channel and i'm really happy for you! It's a major achievement to have your channel on so many search pages on Google, that is quite some exposure. Onwards and upwards as they say!😀 In my humble opinion, Venus should get the "most tourist-friendly horse in the Life Guard regiment" award, she has the best horse temperament and behaviour with tourists. She welcomes everybody, she's extremely gentle and one of the most patient horses❤ Just like Tipper from the Blues. I call her "little Venus" in an endearing way in my language (but also because she's shorter than other mares; that's one of the physical traits that indicate it's her). Also, if I'm not mistaken , the horse of the Captain was...Invader! Good old Invader!❤I'm happy to see he is fine, majestic as always (look at the eyebrows). There's no need to sign a petition for Pagan, you're not going to believe it but i spotted her on another channel's footage from last week, on Thursday, during the general inspection of Major General in Hyde Park. Both Regiments were there...and so was Pagan, you could spot her from afar, with that face of hers!😀 Invader was also there, spotted him as well, he was ridden by one of the Captains. Hyderabad was also officially retired😇

[@TinaStevens-b3v]

John, you gave me a giggle when the lady with the dogs bent over in front of the guard "making a personal offering"🤣🤣🤣

[@judithbutler7343]

You are so popular here in the Stares because of your commentary and explanations. I really enjoy your channel.

[@92hedwig]

LCW please do everyone a huge favor by calling out the rude behavior of tourists to their face. As a visitor one has to be respectful of customs and rituals of another place.

[@barbaragouin7232]

I agree I cannot understand why people watch the guards being insuleted and do not say anything I would

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

Absolutely no respect towards the Horse’s Guards As survey, it’s a 10/10 in the Household Cavalry Message to British athletes, give everything you’ve got this Summer Olympic Games that will be taking place in Paris.

[@clairebrookes2923]

Evening john Just got it after a very stressful day. First thing i do is cup of coffee and straight onto your latest post. Instantly all stress gone with listening to yur humour and thats before yu have even got to the horses lol. That horse came out abit quick lol..i thought yu were gonna get squashed 😂 Tunnel party 😂😂 Trinity and Venus looked stunning with the sun on them showing their perfectly brushed coats. Its good to hear that someone else is speaking up about bad behaviour but the MP's could be doing abit more about this🤨 Dismount was lovely especially with the blue sky background. Why would yu bring dogs right upto a horse like that,silly woman 😒 Thats a very tall guard ..was bigger than the horses..i sat here waiting for the shout but it never happened 😂😂😂 Fab filming. Certainly gave me a boost thankyou ❤.

[@debbie4503]

One person who brought their dog had the horse really curious. He was looking at the dog, like "What are you?". The horse bent his head down close to the dog. This was a very well behaved dog. When he noticed the horse close to him, he moved toward his owner. I think this was the exception of how most dogs would react. It is really not wise to take a dog around horses.

[@gwendamurfitt4716]

Hi from New Zealand. You are the top 10 videos here too. Love your commentaries.

[@ladydragonfly5793]

I visited London in 1970 and had a wonderful experience , at that time, there were no gates to keep you away from #10 Downing Street. During that visit I also saw the Blues and Royals and watching your channel brings back some fond memories so thank you.

From Forces News , Quaker is significantly improved . Two Troopers still in hospital but expected to return soon.

[@westtexan2435]

I done the Google search for Horse Guards and I am located in Louisiana USA and the first 10 were London City Walks. But I do watch your videos on KZbin and I think the search engines use your viewing history to first upload videos you normally watch than on to other videos. But your videos are better than the rest mostly due to your comments while you video the horses. Thank you for the videos.

Dear John, you are considerate, intelligent, informative, & hilarious 🤣 With love from Dyan Rowe, St George Utah USA 🇺🇸

Hi John, I tried googling this but couldn't find the answer so hoping you can help. What are the troopers shouting before dismount? Are they numbers? And what a vast difference it is this morning - helping out the french guy versus yesterday's lady.

I just don’t understand how tourist come to England to see the beautiful sites and the tradition of old with the horse guards and the kings beautiful troops and how other countries and nationalities can be so disrespectful and blatantly disgusting of how things are done, and they should keep the children in check because their ignorance comes from their parents and I find it very disgusting how a parent allows a child to be that disrespectful and you know where it comes from the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I know if I went to another country I would most likely respect their ways of life and not be disrespectful and to all those out of photographers that I know that stand out there every every day that catch all this on camera. I wish I could do more about the ignorance and inform these people they don’t act that way I have seen two instances in the last two days were two of the gentleman of spoken up and told people to be a little more respectful, God bless you guys putting up with those crowds so we can enjoy the beautiful photography work that you do❤❤❤❤
