So happy you are back! I hope you enjoyed a well deserved vacation. I think with the boxes there, it will keep the hoses less stressed and not having people's hands on them. Yes the guards need to enforce the new rules, but a part of me hopes we get a yell once in awhile from the guard! 😂😂

[@crazycorpse3818]

Welcome back John! And welcome back troops! 🎉

[@roxmachamer6276]

Yay! John so great to “see you”!live again back giving us a view of the Horse Guards! Glad you had a good vacation. I like your idea of touring and speaking with locals of different countries! Do it! Rox from Virginia

[@audreylee6214]

Welcome back John! You were missed.

[@paradiseana7634]

Thank you! John for raising to the occasion. And providing us With the glorious arrival of the Royal Guards. I adore seeing both regiments arrival and departure. I had to pinch myself. To be sure I wasn't dreaming, it was all so beautiful. Kudos! To the handsome trooper in camo/Life Guards. For already setting a positive precedent. I'm eager to see. How the no touch rule/marked lines will work. I know it's a work in progress. In the near future. I think it would be ideal. To put some sort of military sign. In the front and back. To remind tourists they're entering a military establishment Decorum and respect is required. Well done! ❤️❤️💂‍♀️🐴

[@AmericanPatriot-q6h]

I'm so glad the Kings Guards Horses are being protected. No more rein grabbers. Maulers.

[@6-kids-uk]

Those white lines are to protect the tourists and not the horses. The side benefit is that the horses have space but a horse doesn't see a white line on the floor as protective.

[@AmericanPatriot-q6h]

​@@6-kids-ukTourists ARE the reason for the white lines. Boundaries. People were crowding. Grabbing the reins. Actually touching the Guards. Mauling their faces. Tourists did not respect . Just grabbed as they pleased.

[@6-kids-uk]

@AmericanPatriot-q6h I said that. The white lines are an attempt to protect people from being bitten. If they don't get close they are safe and the horse gets space too. However, actual HORSE doesn't see those white lines as something to protect them.

[@courtney.m.c]

Horses are finally getting the relief they deserve! It's like witnessing a miracle!

[@LondonCityWalks]

Sadly it didn't last ... as Part Two will show.

[@courtney.m.c]

@@LondonCityWalks Shameless animals, the people, not the horses, of course.

[@secretpaw-gm6lw]

Yes, but the other one brought the horse over to someone, and then people started crossing the line and getting close.

[@AmericanPatriot-q6h]

​@@secretpaw-gm6lwExactly. The Guard should be reassigned. It's not good for ALL the rules when Guards are just as guilty as tourists who violate. I hope his Commander sees this

[@PaulaJoDavis]

@@LondonCityWalks **sad face**

[@petunialuna4801]

The horses seem so much calmer with the tourists at a respectable distance.

[@AmericanPatriot-q6h]

Hello John. Yes these boundaries are long overdue

[@Ahtbfuchfhufbfifnfjifncihc]

The troopers and the horses look happier now that they are not being messed with. ❤

[@FrithGarcia]

What a lovely Police Officer! Oh! The longed for sight of gently bobbing heads and helmets. London has not been the same without you.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅

[@sandigray6247]

So happy to hear you and see the horses again!! Be assured you were missed!

[@jilldavies7094]

Well, that was a relief to see that something's FINALLY been done about the mauling, pawing, posing tourists who---for too long, now---have treated Horse Guards as a sort of equine Disney attraction.

[@maybarnard1088]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I think you'll find the idea is to protect the people from being injured by the the horses not the other way around. Much as we prefer to think of it as protecting the horses.

[@kathellison8084]

@maybarnard1088 . Quite right 😊

[@patwatson6468]

Perhaps the sign should read “don’t cross the white line”. Glad to see you back, you’ve been missed.

[@LynnL3588]

The horse in the left box is the handsome Tennyson. So good to see him again after his adventure. ❤️

[@madambutterfly5343]

Now that is the way it should be. Horses not being mauled. Both horse and guard at ease. Tourist kept at a safe distance. Shouting troopers reminding the crowd to be respectful, make way. Police doing their job. More of a professional approach at horse guards. Less attention paid to public entertainment. This is fantastic! Thank you John for another great video!

[@battles146]

even the MOD officers were enjoying being able to shout at the tourons! 🤣🤣

[@HelenK646]

This video was a joy to watch . Horses & Guards are being left to do the job they are required to do , after all it is a MILITARY yard & should be treated as such.

[@TracyMetzger]

Looks so much better and more respectful!! I am gladly it worked things out after added new sign of horse with no touch and boundary lines!,

[@doolindalton6188]

Don't apologize John. Parents need to teach their children about situational awareness. Be proud of what those soldiers are doing. Their job! Kudos to all of them for using their voices, loud and proud!

[@itsjohndell]

Parents need to HAVE situational awareness before they they can teach their kids, The first tie i was taken to Horse Guards (1960) I was quite firmly in my fathers hand and people didn't act like animals. Most all were of the WWII/II and Korea era and Veterans and had huge respect for the Army.

[@meiraloraduncan943]

Seriously don't apologize, parents need to pay attention and teach their children. I'm from the US and I was an elementary school teacher and believe me to many parents aren't teaching their children manner, common sense things, respect, morals or values. It's surprisingly easy to tell which parents are hands on and those who stick a tablet or some device in their hands or plop them in front of a TV. It was very sad to see and was an eye opener after we moved to North Carolina in 2000. I am actually glad in a way that my sudden life threatening health issues forced me to stop teaching in 2013 because it has gotten much worse since Covid.

[@lindawhitener9684]

So good to hear your voice, missed you. No one of the others hold a light to your channel. Seemed like a year without the horse guards.

[@vickibednar9220]

Love it. Electric shock😂 Everything is so clean after a rain. Love the white lines. Can't wait to see if people adhere to the space. Enjoy your day.😊

[@maryfiddes4185]

I know you need a holiday but i am Glad you're back. Really missed you

[@lynnedecision9867]

What an absolute pleasure to see the new boxes and new lines. So refreshing.

[@Tannys-x5h]

Maybe an invisible fence that will give them the shock of their lives, not sure if it would do any harm to the horses though.

[@maryschleifer7082]

​@@Tannys-x5h😂😂😂

[@sugakookie6303]

Those boxes are a long time in coming… the horses thank them

[@maureenwalker-g6b]

So glad to have the horses back and obviously your good self John. Hope all goes peacefully.

[@deniseprevost4516]

Glad to see the boundaries, I did not go close to the horse when I went in May, and I said thank you the guard nodded back ❤

[@denisepacey125]

Great to have you back. Loved this. Both guardsmen warning people to stay out of the box is brilliant. Long may it continue. 🙂

[@JulieSharman-r7y]

So lovely to have you back at Horseguards. What a fantastic video and how wonderful to see the troopers enforcing the new rules. Yes one or two just tipped over the new lines but overall it was great. Thank you for capturing all this for us viewers.

[@bevdunker4022]

Welcome back John. So glad your there today to welcome the horses and guards back🎉😅❤

[@geliconner9669]

What a glorious sight seeing the horses arrive at Horse Guards again!

[@GeorgeMyers-gx6qj]

Sorry to post twice…but I have to say this is wonderful!! Boundary lines and finally the guards have voices! This is absolutely GREAT!

[@Ingca1234]

Welcome Back John

[@cherryb5766]

The horses look so much more relaxed 😀. Great video as always 👍🏻.

[@lesleycooke6226]

Excellent John grest to see our Magnificent Troopers and Horse's back just wonderful. All we need now is the Tourons to take heed and do what the SIGNS SAY!!! Thank you John looking forward to part 2 Stay Safe ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@sued616]

Thankyou to police officer explaining things to you ,respect sir.welcome back troopers and stunning horses .

[@barbaraannkwartnik]

So happy to hear you again John, and seeing the Guards and their horses!!!

[@LakotaBear47]

Good morning, John!! Loving the new boxes; they will give the horses much needed space!! Wonderful to have your videos to watch; they are a refreshing oasis to all the political rampage going on in the US.

[@mcintoshsh]

You know I love your channel, but hearing your delight of all the goings on today was special! I think that's part of the allure, you take us on the day's journey with you. 😁👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@ritaclements3435]

Welcome back! There will always be some who push the boundaries. I have missed your commentary and the beautiful horses! Thank you for all you do!

[@lindawallace3065]

Amazing first day back…woo hoo!! Roll on part 2…thanks John😎🌻

[@dianejohnson2419]

You would think people should know that the horses need to have a path to get to the boxes and leave space. I admit I like hearing the guards and police shout when folks don't move.

[@judithbutler7343]

Dad should have been paying attention. I am so glad to see space around the horse and guard. Safety for everyone.

[@B.Hollis]

I was like a child when I saw the Guard in the distance coming toward the field, I was so excited that I laughed at myself. Really glad they have painted the lines and hope the shouting keeps up. Unfortunate about the child but it is a working military area. Signs will not work because of the language barrier as we have seen in the past. Think it was a great first day.

[@msjin2207]

So glad to have you back John!! 👏

[@juliacrookston9053]

I like the new sign, succinct, unambiguous. Don't. Touch. The. Horse. Very glad you and the Troopers are back!

[@JaclynPoulton]

This is what was needed, not just a barrier, but the guards who enforce it as well.

[@LynnL3588]

Hi John. Lovely video. So great to see you and the troopers and the horse 😊 The first horse in the right box is Legend ❤

[@LondonCityWalks]

Brilliant! Thank you Lynn!

Good Morning John....Happy to have the guards and horse's are back again❤❤ Have a Safe and Awesome Day ALOHA From Hawaii ❤❤❤❤

[@MicheleBourke]

I'm so pleased they've put the white lines down, I used to get quite upset seeing how frustrated the poor horses would get being constantly touched and approached from both sides. Hopefully, the horses will be a lot happier now.

[@loriwarmuth2539]

Hi John, you are so adored and appreciated ❤ I am SO thrilled to see the guards taking their due respect back! Blessings to you and the guardsmen. Prayers 🙏

Every time hear horse named Wilber, think of old US tv show Mr.Ed (the horse) and way he’d say Wilberrr gives me little chuckle and memory back to childhood ❤😂😂

[@tedzabowski8830]

I agree with lined box comments. Good for both horse and guard. No worries about the sign. Works well the way they relate to each other. Glad to see you back.

[@user-jujutarbes2516]

Glad you're back John. Great to hear your voice again. I agree with you, they should have combined the 2 signs. Good to see the Trooper telling people the new rules, but let's see what happens. Personnaly I would have had them painted in red or yellow & marked like a no parking zone.

[@monicawarner4091]

There are regulations which govern road markings. Yellow and red lines are limited to the carriageway and advise drivers about stopping and waiting times. They are not used on pavements. 😊

[@Avalanche_Broncos_Fan]

[@andygrant5275]

Great to hear that you’re back again John, hope you enjoyed your holiday.

[@waverunner716]

Wow! Travel pass in Geneva sounds splendid! I’m sure it spurs on tourists and residents to enjoy and learn about this beautiful place. I say residents because even in USA residents seldom take advantage of their own countries places others travel thousands of miles to see! I am not married to a traveler but one day I want to see my native country…stay in hotels away from home, take advantage of visitor incentives and still understand language even though customs differ everyplace you travel! You are a treasure trove of information!!!

[@pamst-pierre9117]

❤❤❤Those lines are finally a clear instruction.

[@PaulaJoDavis]

Only if the tourons see them and abide by them. Sadly, it won't last.

[@josephinepinzel568]

So happy to see these new rules about touching the horses and getting too close. Makes my horse owners heart happy.

[@janesimmons8307]

Glad your back.✝️👑🙏❤️❤️😊

Yes!! They're back

[@lonegunwomen]

Good to have you back John you were missed. Do hope this is the norm now no more mauling of the horses and respect for the Kings Guard.

[@petunialuna4801]

Welcome back. CLEARLY, the impaired tourists cannot respond to visual cues and written directions. It's going to take stern verbal orders from the guard or a police person stationed at each horse for the horses to have any peace. I don't know why that isn't happening.

[@hoolahoop3137]

Hello John, welcome back and I trust you've had a wonderful holiday. I was going to mention the new videographer you have been discussing but couldn't recall the name of the channel - fortunately someone has recently informed you. I saw the incident happen and was aware it was a channel I didn't recognise. An interesting second day for you...

[@littlebrookreader949]

What a wonderful day in London! So glad to see renewed honor for Horses, Guards, and Historic Grounds. Just marvelous. Thanks, John! ❤️❤️❤️Watching you from Mississippi. Wishing you all the best!

Glad to have you back!

[@ritapitt8273]

Fabulous John, can't wait for pt2.

[@PaulaJoDavis]

Lovely to see the horses and Troopers again. The white boxes? Yes, they are long overdue but I know, in my heart, it won't last. People these days just don't care about anything but themselves. If the Trooper had to tell people, already, to not cross the line, then it's a done deal. Without physical barriers, people will continue to break the rules, be disrespectful and not give a darn about anything but the almighty picture of themselves with a horse. Maddening. Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.

[@kathleenmcgonigle]

I live in the Midwest and enjoy watching your videos John!! I’m so glad they have the white lines around the horse boxes!! The Troopers will have to remain diligent enforcing don’t step over the line or it will go back to the craziness like before!!!

[@PaulaJoDavis]

Just caught a glimpse of another video where the Trooper in the right hand box identified the horse as "Hatchet"(?) I'm pretty sure that's what he told the woman who asked. He had quite a conversation with her after she asked to take a photo, then stepped into the 'forbidden zone' and he told her that she couldn't take the picture from inside the lines. It was a video from London Today. I was curious to see what he/she caught from today. So maybe?? Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.

[@lynnfrank5462]

“It’s happening!” I’ve been waiting since yesterday! 😂 All is right in London…the horses and guards are back and so are you, John! Seeing their arrival in the yard was impressive! I can’t wait to see the rest of the video as well as part 2. With love & appreciation from Royal Oak, Michigan USA ♥️🇺🇸🐴🐴🇺🇸♥️

[@777heiress]

The very first hero of the Kings Guard,making tourist respect the Boxman and the Trooper horse.This will be my very beautiful moment ,first in history and this guard did it.He made me love the Life guards.Salute to the you Kings guard.👏👏👏

In Basel some people swim up the river to and from work with their waterproof bags . A bit dodgy having to dodge the ferries though. Can you imagine that in the Thames😂😂😂

[@cindyling-m4w]

Morning John. you didn't get it but the next change of guard, one guard allowed people inside the box and then it went back right to where it was with people touching and crowding. so much for keeping the horses safe.

[@LondonCityWalks]

Got part of that! Part Two (forthcoming) is quite different from Part One.

[@cindyling-m4w]

@@LondonCityWalks seems it was a bearded guard who allowed touching and people inside the box. very very sad to see this, actually heartbreaking

I ve seen a live where the guard told a lady to get back as soon as she dared a step in, he was awesome.

We are supposed to get the outer west bands unless it moves west before it hits, 41:31 we will get more of it. I can't wait to see everything with all the new rules and actual guide lines in place.❤❤❤❤ I want to see those gorgeous animals and handsome guards. I know they didn't have all this time off but I think we will see them both more relaxed. The horses especially, once they realize they aren't being mauled and their personal space invaded. Thank you to whomever made this happen. Thank you John for the videos.

I was genuinely excited when you said the horses were going to be back!!! I sat here with a huge grin on my face!!! 😁😁😁 I think the white lines are a brilliant idea..and they seem to be working!! I'm guessing the troopers will enforce the "don't stand in the box" rule to tourists taking photos..but not necessary the public walking past. All is good with the world now the horses are back at Horse Guards and so are you John!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤ xxxxx
