FINALLY King's Guard STEP UP and DEAL with this SILLY Tourists

[@margaretgood580]

It's good to hear the guards yelling at the STUPIDS again...to many people are so disrespectful..

Female Guard, takes no prisoners. !! Well done!

[@tuulasuikki1455]

as she should, love to see how they put silly people on their place

[@davidwootton6287]

That’s right, you tell ‘em. Glad 👏👏 they have their voice back. Why would the idiots want to stand just inside the smelly box, encroaching on the horse and guard’s space.

[@paulinemines485]

Perhaps that's the answer, if the guard and horse are further back in the box the stupid tourist can't get to them and they can't touch the horse.

[@paulettebillinge]

A good shout makes my day, well done. 😂

[@joannicholson3030]

Its good to see the guards asserting their authority again, about time.

[@dbn52]

I love all the female guards . They are tough but fair. They don't play games

[@kaafromoz]

No the guard does not have to speak to you if they choose not to, also The Horse Guard knows the horse better than you Wikipedia Horse Whisperers and if your told not to stand in the box opening there is a very good reason. Well done to the Young lady Guard for making her voice heard, the brain capacity of some tourists makes me shake my head with disbelief. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖

[@daphnethurlow5388]

Well put..

[@sharon7181]

Yes its not safe to have a tourist in the box with the horse and guard . Small area, big horse that could move suddenly and stupid people would be stuck and possibly hurt . Stay away from the horse !

[@maryschleifer7082]

"DON’T STAND IN FRONT OF THE HORSE!!" Years ago, I was told, "the person holding the lead or the reins is in charge". That has stuck with me. A mixture of common sense and taking responsibility. The tourists, for the most part, are reasonably respectful. More are idiots. This guard is doing her job. Setting the boundaries and keeping them there. Many thanks for your service from the US.

[@mskytube]

Exactly....just like the person holding the steering wheel is ONLY the driver of the car. Same with reins.

Women still do have to work harder, while oftentimes being paid less, in many jobs.

[@LGBTQ71]

Yes totally agree

[@synchronicity1470]

yes, an odd situation. She is at one of the most tourist driven attractions in London, exposed to the public of all ages and nationalities. People are there to wonder at the magnificent horse & King's Guard in all their impressive regalia and of course they want photos and maybe a pet of the horse. Nowhere does it show petting or taking photos are forbidden. A bit of diplomacy & discretion in dealing w/ these factors is required. Yet she fiercely guards her territory, as if daring any tourist to cross her. She's got more strict decorum rules than most other guards which sends out conflicting signals to a confused public. What she creates is a hostile & extremely unpleasant experience for people, many of whom this trip meant great cost and may possibly be the only holiday trip of the year. She is too angry & uptight, too rigid to be in that delicate mix. I am sure she will learn to relax a bit in time. Either that, or she will be removed away from the public.

[@pm7128]

Love how the guard turned to the camera for a group of young boys without them knowing!

[@taraann7753]

Great work Guard, you should be allowed to yell when these people step out of line which is a regular occurrence..let them know who’s in charge here.❤

[@hornplayer1228]

That is one of the most sociable horses of them all - loves public interaction - very subdued on this occasion.

[@ginnyalan]

I love it when they poke their tongues out, I always expect to hear a raspberry

[@barbarabarton4078]

I often think it would be justice if the Guard and mount moved forward a bit, did a raspberry from the other end, or, relieved itself. That'd move a few people back.

[@ymrabc]

😂 me too!

[@UK7A]

Hi☺️, to be honest the guards aren't there for entertainment. They are performing their duties. But ppl assume they are just for fun. That is ridiculous. Please RESPECT the soldier's & the officer's around...

[@williecoulter1091]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖All the Guards need to follow suit, don't allow the tourists to get in front of the box and don't let them touch. There is still room for the selfish selfies.

[@jo-annbastings]

Starting at 1:58, the big guy in blue, on the left side of the sentry, did he just demand to the mounted Guard to bring her horse closer to the entry so he can touch her mount?!? His companion seemed to tell him to relax in his entitlement. The horse made the cutest ‘blep’!

[@davidwootton6287]

Yes he did, bloody cheek. Who does he think he is talking to, Mickey Mouse ? How rude.

[@elizabethkrall7920]

I think it is time to paint an area by and around the horse & guard for protection. People do not need to be that close to the guard! No respect for anything!

[@AngelaWalsh-c5p]

Where tourists are standing nothing can be done to keep them away from the horses and guards as it's part of Westminster council

[@PecanBaby...]

Smart move from the female soldier, they can't get near to bug the horse with endless petting or grabbing of the reins. Edit...plus the horse tongue sticking out is icing on the cake.😂

[@blrenx]

As a American this makes me sick! to watch people show zero respect for British Tradition Pride and Honor. To treat the Kings Mounted Guard like a petting zoo. And the laughing in their presence is a slap in the face to all of England.

You can see what is going to happen, can't you? Eventually, the populace(tourists) won't be allowed to go beyond the ballistras' location. Some sort of new barrier will be put up. There will be no more petting and posing with the horses. Mark my words. See if I ain't right.

[@bslaydon7023]

That would be wonderful.

[@daphnethurlow5388]

There should NOT BE any petting of the horses..the crowding around of the horse and Guard with often Several people touching the horse at once, is beyond a joke. Since when WAS this allowed to get so out of hand? Foolish people grabbing the reins, yesterday ( see post) some guy grabbed the chain and didn't want to let go..What is the matter with such badly behaved people.? In this day and age nobody can tell who is out to harm others..These are Soldier of the British Army first and formost. They go to war when need be. Standing post here is the ceremonial side of their work. If people want to pet an animal just head 11:05 to a Petting zoo or get some therapy. These Guards and their mounts are standing their post guarding what was once the outer boundary of Buckingham palace, NOT here just for photo ops for tourists.Some of the behaviours are disgraceful. RESPECT their rules and leave the horse alone.

[@shirleyanneyoung955]

@@daphnethurlow5388The tourists aren’t breaking any rules by touching the horses, they are doing what they are allowed to do. The people at fault are the ones who make the rules. The guards can’t stop anyone from touching the horses either because, again, they don’t make the rules. The guards have to follow orders and I’m sure they hate people pawing at the horses just as much as most of us do but until the rules are changed it’s still going to happen.

[@carlahessaa8041]

I certainly hope the "rules" are changed regarding the public's too close proximity to both the horses and the guards! My heart goes out to these beautiful and majestic animals to have to put up with literally being "boxed in" by ignorant and disrespectful people who think they're there as a petting zoo!! I'm in the United States, and even I know WHY they're there, and WHAT they represent!!

So many of these tourists are blatantly rude. I don't see why this young girl was yelled at though. She wasn't under the arch or blocking the horse.

[@cherylross4040]

It only takes common sense to follow the rules. If you don't speak nor read English, have someone with you to translate. Be respectful of the rules and the country you are visiting. Plus, that horse weighs on average of 1,000 pounds. Add the armed police with that assault rifle with finger on the trigger, that taser and the pistol strapped to the thigh--don't mess around with authority, nor England. People act like they are clueless. I would never go to another country without knowing some basic rules and customs.

In this video, at least no one touched the reins which is usually a problem. In addition to the printed sign, I wonder if it would be helpful to have a picture to deter tourists from touching the reins. The picture could be of a person touching the reins and a large red X over the hand touching the reins. Then tourists who don't read English could figure it out. I also have a question. Why do the guards sometimes have red tassels and sometimes gold tassels on their helmets? What would determine which color is worn?

[@Diamondmine212]

Whether they are in the ‘ Blues’ or ‘ Royals’ regiment.

[@kathellison8084]

The UK relies on tourists for a significant portion of its GDP and among other attractions invites them to come see these guards, pat the horses, and take photos.
