[@deidracalvert2738]

John in answer to a comment you made regarding the Guard not able to wave at the little boy this morning. In another video, I saw the guard raise his fingers off the reins in answer to a little guy waving his little hand off. It was very special. ❤️❤️

[@catzkeet4860]

He didn't even see the child at first, and the thing is.... with SO many people there, they really HAVE to go "by the book" even if on a quieter day they might have acknowledged the kid.

[@geliconner9669]

There was also a Life Guard who wiggled his sword in acknowledgment at a child waving. It was very sweet.

[@TinaStevens-b3v]

John, thank you for the insight regarding the channel run by the twins. What you are saying makes sense because I have often seen their videos with exaggerated thumbnails and headlines. What a shameful and dishonorable thing to do to the guards that are serving their country. I live in the US and I feel more respect for your guards than these two. Thank you for calling them out.

[@TheShedOccupant]

Thank you for the information on the other channel, didnt take me too long to work out who you were refering to, a channel I will not be watching ever!

Anyone want to save me the bother of sorting through videos and just name them? John didn't want it in the video but he didn't say anything about the comment section.

Thank you John for taking a stand against the lack of morals and the total ignorance of the people trying to make money from taking pictures of these wonderful guards doing their jobs. You deserve a lot of credit.

[@vilmadann8910]

Thanks I like your reporting . The disrespect the tourist have for the REAL soldiers, they don’t realize it’s a privilege to be to see these kings guards, on duty.👏👏👏👍👍

[@emstirling-is4nu]

I think they should start charging an entrance fee (even at 1-2 GBP per person) which could go towards the upkeep and the Guards/horses alike, not forgetting the Police who escort them to and fro. Also you should be made the official videographer as not only are you good at the job, but you care and the Guards know that (as do we).

[@garfield2439]

​@@emstirling-is4nuthey absolutely should charge some type of admission fee. I can't believe they don't. You would weed out alot of trash that way

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Absolutely although I think there may be legal issues involved.

[@falkonladi8]

I’m sorry to hear that people who walk through and ‘enjoy’ themselves at the expense of the guards and think that the guards are playing ‘dress up’ just to please the crowd, is really appalling to see! 😢

[@pamplant3610]

I totally agree with you regarding those two guys. Unfortunately, morals are lacking from far too many these days. Thank you for exposing their deeds. I quit watching other channels when I found yours. Just don't like sitting in silence! Much rather hear what is going on. Makes getting shouted at more fun 😊.

[@marilyncasabuena4275]

John, it’s nice & exciting to see you back in action at Horse Guards. Keeping us in the loop about the recent events is very much appreciated. The news about the other channel is disturbing. If it’s a scheme to cheat people out of their money at the expense of Horse Guards, then it must be thoroughly investigated by The Ministry of Tourism & The British Amy. The truth matters!

[@sassyjintheuk]

Thank you john for sticking up for our wonderful service men and women. It disgusts me when you get people like those 2 trying to make a fast buck like that. What a pair of clowns indeed. Anyway on a more cheerful note. I hope you have a wonderful. Happy new year take care.❤

That coordinated head toss by the horses at 28:53 🥰 I’ve missed this so much. You and the other vloggers have really taken care of us during the time Horse Guards was closed John, but things are a little bit more right with the world now that Troopers and horses are mounting the guard again. And I really resent all these tourists mucking up the place for our reunion 😅

The pregnant woman was NOT pushed by the trooper. The incident was between two male spectators. At 1:12:18 they are pointing at each other arguing. The trooper was called over by the woman’s companion to address the other male’s crowding her. He was the one doing the shoving and then complaining 🤦‍♀️

[@armywidow6004]

They need to put a "do not enter" or a " no entrance" sign on the horse box. Or keep those doors closed until the horse and guards come out the gate.

[@jayjohnson8426]

People don't take notice of the dont touch reins signs so they won't take notice of other signs also language barrier not everyone knows English

[@garfield2439]

Yes

[@armywidow6004]

The majority of the time those box gates are closed when the horse and guards are on duty and are re-opened just before shift changes. They now have a cop standing. Next to the box to tell tourist they can not enter the boxes.

[@MakerInMotion]

To be fair, if there's no horse in the box it's not blatantly obvious that you aren't supposed to walk through there. Walking through an empty horse box is like dead last on the list of touron sins.

[@barbaragouin7232]

They should not need to be told their brain should tell them DO NOT ENTER THE BOX

[@MakerInMotion]

@@barbaragouin7232 From the perspective of someone who watches these videos, yeah. But if you're a tourist in London for the first time and you see a wide open space between where you are and where you want to be and you've never seen a horse in there before...I mean C'mon. If you went to the joint security area on the border of South and North Korea, would you know you're not allowed to point your finger? Would that be obvious? Regulars there would think you were an idiot but then they know better.

Back to herding cats poor lad. There is no way that ALL these people can fit! The boxes are full the tunnel looks full……wow. And yes, the look on our favourite troopers face kinda said it all……a mixture of “oh feck” and “man, I’m glad we’re not on today”😂 nice of him to stay for a bit to help get the crowd sorted out while the LifeGuards were still getting sorted. Edited to add: that was impressive…..between the LifeGuard troopers, one Blues trooper and a heck of a lot of MoD police that went incredibly smoothly, considering that when they started pushing people back I didn’t think it was going to happen.
