Hi John, it would be nice to see the horses when they're off duty. They spend time in the countryside and even at the beach. My parents bungalow backed onto the fields where they spend R&R in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. That field is known as St. Mary's (or was back in the 90s). We would feed them treats, we had permission from the Quartermaster to give them carrots. The drum horses are fab. Miss seeing them.

Taking away the voice of these guards, is taking away any authority they have, and laying out the welcome mat for groups of disrespectful, entitled, and rude people! Yes!!! Bye, bye!! Well done officer! All it takes is one person to ruin it for a group. Problem is, it's typically a group of bullies that gather around the guards in the back, and then all of a sudden they feel so tough and superior, as they try to goad the guard.

Those signs are meant for people watching the videos. The tourists do not read the signs. Why must they touch the horse when taking a picture? Why can’t they wait for their turn, you have 3 or 4 people standing next to the horse, do you really want strangers in your photo? Do they know what the two finger V stands for, as they look like idiots doing it. Just take your picture and move on.

These French Students seemed on the whole quite polite and one idiot spoiled it for them (as usual) however in my 31 years in media and going to many locations where hordes of overseas students congregated, I found the French ones behaviour often the most disrespectful. It seems their teachers were unwilling/unable most of the time to control them.

[@Maggie_1957]

As you say school tour groups should be limited as this has just proven those in charge are unable to keep a watchful eye on everyone within the group especially when they are teenagers.

I have taken many school groups on trips both at home (UK) and abroad. Only once was I let down by a student and I made very sure he didn't do it again. He was under rigid scrutiny for the rest of the week. His parents were absolutely mortified. Teenagers can be controlled if the basic discipline and ground rules are in place to begin with.

[@vivaldi1948]

[@carlytasmith5754]

Good idea keeping the horses further back into the boxes so the tourists won’t touch them.

[@Swanoaks]

I don't think the youngsters of today are taught respect anymore; they seem to think, respect is earnt and not given freely. So pleased to see that mob was dismissed because of one teens disrespect for a Guard. Maybe they will learn something because of it. Although somehow I doubt it. Nice to be here with you once again John, thank you. Kiwi

[@nalasimba]

Unfortunately, if you look at the oldies, 70+ they did a pigs ear of their kids upbringing, and so it continues.

[@Swanoaks]

@@nalasimba Have to agree with you it was in the Seventies that a report came out that parents were abusing their children. Especially in New Zealand where I come from. Children and teachers could report parents; many went up in court so the punishment stopped. Although there were ways, other than hitting a child, to teach them.

[@nalasimba]

@Swanoaks New Zealand? GB here : we had TV shows on how to raise children. It was the parents who were abused! Kids spitting, kicking, punching, throwing bricks at their parents (?) Their hands were "tied." The brats were in charge, and even had a special phone number to report their parents! No discipline whatsoever. The people next door to me had a "no holds barred" screamer. When I gently complained, I was told it was my problem and that I should MOVE! Plus, that was said in front of said brat! 😪💣

[@Swanoaks]

@@nalasimba You definitely had it worse than we did in NZ. I had grown up with a firm Dad who demanded respect, he was English born. It never affected me: Although I never hit my son. Looked him in the eye as I spoke and he soon backed down. Still do today I am in my eighties and he is fifty and I still get the same result. But I also think adults need to stay calm, talk and listen more. It's all about communication now. I can remember standing in line waiting to be served in the local dairy. There was two young teen Maori lasses behind me, I turned around at something they said to be spat on as I did so. I stepped out of the line and with a wave of my hand let them take my place in the line. Maybe you think I gave in to them. But no I understood why they did it. The Maori were suppressed for many generations in NZ, not allowed to speak their own language. At that time there was a wave for Maori to take back what had been taken from them. As a country the treaty signed by Queen Victoria had been ignored, but was now becoming a reality, and may of us white Kiwis were all for that happening. Slightly different to what started our conversation. As I said life is about communication, education, and respect no matter how old you are.

[@nalasimba]

@Swanoaks I come from a Polish (pre-war maners) family and were stunned at the difference in English v Polish manners. Children were respectful to their elders - we stood up when an adult (guest) entered the room. Certainly never used first names unless insisted by said person, and certainly never answered back. The last "adult" to leave this mortal coil was my mother at 98, and at 72, I was still respectful. To this day, I talk and behave appropriately. The way I would expect others to behave toward me. Sort of "teaching" by example. Also, I really don't care if people think I am old-fashioned - good manners and behaviour should be at the top of everyone's list! 🙂

“Gobshite”. I haven’t heard that term for a while but you’re spot on.

I’ve reached an age where I’m hardly likely to get to visit again which is why I enjoy these videos so much - even if it has my blood pressure reaching explosive levels sometimes. Someone has decided that tourists can pester the horses now but, fortunately, have left the ultimate decision as to who they’ll allow and who they won’t to the horse.

Years ago my husband and I were on a business trip with other colleagues (U.K.)to Tel Aviv, Israel. We obviously did all the touristy things but being catholic I really wanted to to to the (catholic) church of the Nativity. We were going up some steps by the church door which was guarded by an armed Israeli guard who shoved an armalite into my arm and shouted at the top of his voice ‘cover your head woman’. I was totally shocked and said we don’t have to cover our heads any more. He stood up and pointed his gun so close to my chest I almost collapsed. My husband unfolded his hankie and put it on my head. There was no argument. I wonder, when I see these hordes or aimless morons, how they would feel if our Kings Guards reacted the same way. That is why those thoughtless tourists who think this is a theme park for their amusement SHOULD be treated

“Little escargots?” 😂😂

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

Metro police have some absolutely stunning horses!

[@kathellison8084]

Don't they just ! The size of some of them they'll have no problems with crowd control .😊

[@101candlelight6]

Lol I could tell you enjoyed that just as much as I did. Glad to see the back of them all.

[@pamplant3610]

The guard and the horse with the blaze are some of my favorites.

Hello from hot and sunny South Ga! Love your KZbin shows! So informative for people like me that have never been to UK. 🤓🦋

Half term has already started in England

[@sued616]

Beautiful horses ,feel for the guards putting up with been crowded ,disrespected by some they do an amazing job .thanks for video in this weather

[@rosemarymcgrady5255]

Is their no way of controlling these mobs. Forever touching. Surely the King should issue orders to protect the Guards who protect him.

[@kdl28]

At 27:27 a fabulous picture of that amazing horse.

[@sueackland5070]

Loving your comments.

[@christinehysteria689]

Very good video students thesedays have no respect glad they got kicked out also I think while the treat level has gone up crowds should be limited

[@annhall1448]

Such badly behaved kids

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

Who was the importante person yesterday John, did you find out ?

[@LondonCityWalks]

The VIP visitor was the Greek Defence Minister, who was in London for a meeting with Grant Shapps MP, the UK Secretary of State for Defence.

[@iriscollins7583]

Thank you.

[@marlenecarson4005]

Thank you John

[@susansnell9125]

May be the guard had a soar throat Hey your in a comical mood today. 😅😅 love it.

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

Why can't the guards shout any more. Did someone with soft ears complain. They to shout and tell the numpties to get back.

[@bobalky3638]

It seems to me the vast majority of these students were not badly behaved, it's just that there were far too many in that space.

[@LondonCityWalks]

Agreed. They were friendly and polite - it seems the behaviour of one immature lad was responsible for the ejection of the group.

[@paulettebillinge]

Well done to the police, at least they are not frightened to toss the rude idiots out. Good for them.

[@Chris17198]

Would you argue with a police officer with a semi automatic machine gun …I know I wouldn’t

[@battles146]

you would think that the Dutch teacher would have researched/been instructed as to the Kings Guards history and the amount of due respect to be shown - your video (especially when shared) shows the world the lack of the same

[@georgiepeach7894]

Start with the parents!

[@veronicacrabtreehill6608]

Maybe not enough Europeans watch KZbin.

[@battles146]

@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 if we share the video to such as friends, facebook, tiktok, reels, etc , it reaches the world :)

[@elizabethmcintyre8529]

Bloody hell that's a big group

[@freneticoddball2112]

As an American and relocated to Philadelphia (as a horse trainer), I am horrified at how many people rudely stick their hands in front of an animal that can easily bite their fingers OFF, and quicker than any dog ! We always raised our son to ASK before touching anyone's pet. Why do even the grown insist on touching a service animal, that isn't a pet, setting low standards for the children watching? Being an Officer's Mount and transportation, by the same rule any police officer in the States can write you a citation for messing with their car, and if you were to go up and grab the steering wheel (which is what reins are - control of the horse)... you would be arrested and charged! I hope our American tourists REMEMBER this! King Charles' Guards are active duty military, and should be treated as such. We have at least 3 national holidays here remembering our military. Many of us thank our service men and women when we see them in uniform; we thank them for their duty and sacrifice. It should be no different in any other country. Finally, it would be wise to understand and remember that yours and your children's fingers look like snacks to horses. The way their eye lens is so largely concave, objects are distorted and can cause the animal to respond differently. There are so many sounds, smells, and sights bombarding these majestic creatures that the Guard in control should earn respect in addition to his or her duty! You cannot stop a 17 hand, 1,500 to 2,000 pound horse so move your body and your gosh darn carriages holding your kids OUT OF THE WAY!! Cross the path with urgency and purpose! And lastly, just think how you would feel if anywhere from 500 to 5,000 people a DAY came and shoved their fingers right into your nose? Respect your "right" as a tourist - you have no rights as you know them when in a foreign country! You function on their rules, laws, and obediences. Get a pamphlet or Google how to behave properly in that country. And don't think you are SO entitled to your picture with the King's Guard and his mount. He is serving the King, not you. Ask politely to touch his animal, and wouldn't it be so much nicer if we could all ask to take their picture?

[@carolwilson6948]

The tour guides do not help matters, Also if there was a war or upset in thier country would they be so brave then and stay and fight or run away like the cowards they seem to be, disrespecting our service men and womaen. My bet is they would RUN.

[@marywilliams341]

Definitely limit the number of people in tours groups

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Hi that horse looked like a thurebread cross Irish draft ,AND he IS incredible. And thank you for sharing your youtube.

[@kathellison8084]

That's right , they are bought by the Household Cavalry at around 3/4 years old then carefully trained .

[@AnnieH-1]

Listening to your comments about bugs reminded me some years ago in a care home outbreak of scabies. It wasn't well dealt with. One poor CA was terrified that she might infect her son who was in the army 😂😂😂
