It seems that every time you've got a video going, there are these weird women doing weird things like gesticulating and posing

[@maryholder3795]

Thanks for the walk along the Embankment John. That sky is amazing, it's hazy but it glows. Nice view of the Big Bong. The Dept of Military of Defence, arguing with the Dept of Historical England due what they can use. Is the D of M D grade 1 or 2 listed? Rolls Roll - latest model Cullinan it's not the older models Corniche or Camargue. So if it begins with C it's the Cullinan. Lovely how beautiful HG looks as it basks in the morning light Then there is the gossip group in the middle of the yard, trooper, C of H and the police having a good gossip on the latest news. 😊

[@bettyalexkollias8058]

Gidday John. Beautiful police horses! Only know 2 of them. Bay on our right is a mare VENA and grey at the back is also a mare WILMA.

[@daffydill5590]

I read somewhere that they have to be careful of that stone with a specialist and they want the culprits to pay for it. One specialist said the longer it sat on that stone the harder it was going to be to remove it!😢

[@JoanMinchew-it1lz]

Lovely the way the horseman carried his sword while Logan had his photo taken

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

Hi John, it was lovely to see you again, logan always loves talking to you. Thanks for always being so lovely with him, it means a lot. See you again soon! Tamsin, Logan and Cleo the sausage dog

[@LondonCityWalks]

It was my pleasure Tamsin! Good to see you both and "Wow" Logan did well in that heat!

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

@LondonCityWalks he only took his tunic off when we went into St James park to get the dog an ice cream, he did well. I did have to swap shoes with him though on the walk back to the car 🤣

[@starvingartist2824]

You must be so proud of your young man, and any of his siblings, of course! Such a little trooper to wear his uniform even when temps may be uncomfortable....just like the big troopers! I have a nephew with Aspergers and his interest is art, and is pretty good at it! Love your doggie.❤Have a lovely day.😊 🇨🇦

[@paulinemegson8519]

Great to see you and Logan again Tamsin, and Cleo too ofc…..hope she didn’t get too hot.

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

@paulinemegson8519 she loves the heat, her favourite place is ontop of the radiator at home, she has been known to have a tantrum when I take her off so she can have a walk 🤣she stayed in the shade and there was a nice breeze, she had plenty of water, rub downs with wet wipes, and an ice cream in St James's park so she was very happy. She loves horse guards and is always excited when she knows where she's going.

[@yaya3025]

43:44 Logan is just an awesome young man. His mom will be proud

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

Thank you, we are very proud of him

[@ScarletWildRose]

As you should be 🤗

[@charlie4739]

Bless these Horses, you can tell how Loved they are by the treatment they receive from Their troopers. 😂❤

[@wendypetersen7529]

The horses don't need words.

[@sued616]

They,re very loved love horses responses to troopers ,love them❤,love the scenery john seeing the buildings-history

[@kateking3953]

There's a lovely piece on KZbin about the reitrement home at Windsor where these horses go at the end of their service. They talk about the toll standing for long period on hard ground takes on their body, and how many of them don't have the temperament to stand or cope with traffic and crowds. There;'s a sweet heavy horse of 7 called Wiggins who just couldn't cope with the demands of standing still under pressure for long periods. It's worth looking at.

[@jax33881]

GM horseguard viewers; having breakfast watching John begin his day❤🐎🐎❤️

[@loganwhite3904]

The Lance Corporal of Horse has an incredibly powerful voice, good stuff!

[@kathellison8084]

He made me jump , you couldn't ignore him could you 😀

[@ZestyLeMum]

John you are my favourite on here with your comical chat . Have a great day x 😊

[@HelenMonday-ku1pb]

Yes I agree 👍💯

[@mariannevontrapp1063]

I always listen when ik go to sleep, works every time

[@msfrred1st]

It's a listed building and may need approval for specialist cleaning. It may also require some research and experiments to find the least damaging cleaning method to fully remove that paint.

[@ioan1934]

There are some glorious buildings in London shame about the one with the paint on very disgraceful

[@emstirling-is4nu]

They should be charged and get a criminal record...also made to pay for the clean up! Idiots.

[@vinpepp]

It was also cavalry Sunday yesterday, the current serving and veterans from current regiments and those now disbanded and amalgamated marched to Hyde Park, i believe that Trooper Jeffery was in the Blues and Royals contingent marching. I went to watch as my late Father, was in the 7th queens own Hussars, long since disbanded.

[@elainebrown5586]

Yes he was I saw him in video clip online. He was quite prominent wasn’t he

[@lindalala5813]

If you've never been..you must visit Canada..the open spaces and beauty will blow your mind..we have EVERYTHING here! Sending a personal invite.There are no Horse Guards but we have our RCMP!

[@joycepuzak4309]

Logan’s mom must be so proud!! He’s the real deal!!🫡

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

Thank you, we are very proud of him

[@vinpepp]

That was actually so sweet of the trooper, when Logan was having his photo taken, the trooper carried his sword at the salute. Fine gentleman.

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

All of the troopers are always so lovely, they are an absolute testament to the regiment

[@christinegordon5372]

Perhaps it's the type of paint that has been used that's difficult to clean off. What a shame to a lovely building.

[@mustagotlost]

Hi John, next time Thor comes out and you aren't sure who he is , just remember Thormond lol , I do that to remember names😂

[@yuckfoo9638]

Hello John....thankyou for the most informative vids on KZbin, the thing that I cannot understand is that it is obviously very warm in London, yet we see so many tourists with heavy coats and hats standing next to someone in shorts and a tshirt!! Your the best John, thanks again for the wonderful informative vids

[@paulinemegson8519]

It’s what you’re used to. I remember many years ago we(my ex husband) and myself were visiting his family in Cumbria, just outside Carlisle to be exact. They were all in shirtsleeves and I was in jeans and a sweatshirt and was still cold 😂. It has to get a bit warmer in NZ before we get into shorts 🤣

[@jax33881]

Makes me want to visit England❤

[@mariablundall2228]

Beautiful scenery and the weather is lovely, my 4 year old loves watching your videos so we took her to see some horses yesterday she loved it, she stood a distance away because she understood that the horses may kick or bite, 😊 Your completely right the ones arrested for defacing the building should be made to clean it, it was a disgusting act but another great video the buildings are amazing 😊

[@user-pj2fd3fk8y]

Ormond and Thor's blazes are reminiscent of a wrench. That's how I see it anyway!

[@Kiki-reads]

32:17 After rewinding, the woman’s hands were empty, Thor spit out the mint the man had given him. He must be a mint connoisseur. Spearmint? Yuck, only peppermint for Thor!

[@DJKSB58]

I have read that the bit in the mouth sometimes makes it more difficult to eat then swallow

[@Kiki-reads]

@@DJKSB58 that makes sense and is more likely what happened

[@user-pj2fd3fk8y]

Did he spit it out or did it fall out when he opened his mouth thinking he was going yo get something else? Although our horses have always crunched them so that wouldn't happen!

[@maxineshaw1709]

Hi John it's disgusting how people vandalize our beautiful buildings 🤬😢 xx

[@carolinemole4437]

People are very rude and vandalism is a shame, and a crime on your beautiful buildings. We don't have the awesome architecture here in Toronto that you do.

[@cherylschantz9893]

With so many cameras, they should know who did it already.

[@emstirling-is4nu]

They do...they were arrested but have not heard anything else.@@cherylschantz9893

[@maybarnard1088]

​@@cherylschantz9893The people who did it were caught while they were doing it. Buska caught most of it on video.

[@sued616]

Logan looked very smart

[@lesleycooke6226]

Excellent walk John everything looks stunning in the sunshine, gorgeous horses as always. Thank you John keep hydrated and Stay Safe.❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@nataliemoulding234]

afternoon john its warm here too oh dear the horse decides to quit he or she may be hot and bothered also enjoying some water I fee l sorry for the troopers in those uniforms

[@madeleinegombert661]

I agree with you about the troopers in uniform.

[@fionagreenwood3231]

Oh my goodness John horseguards stunning from across road thank you so so much for this video xxxxxxxx

[@TracyMomof2]

One has to remember when dealing with temperatures. It's different when your 20 or 25 in a grassy area and lot different when its all cement. That heat partially absorbs to come out later and gets bounced back up immediately. Logans got the right idea work hard for your dreams.

[@heatherharvey3129]

Every time I've been to London (starting in 1998 to 2018, our last European trip which included being in London), the skyline has been full of cranes and, John, I can see from the start of the video, as you walked along the embankment, that nothing has changed. Thank you so much for taking a different route and allowing us to enjoy different vistas of London and reminding me of some wonderful times I/we had in London.

[@TracyMomof2]

Yes it was really delightful!

[@JoanMinchew-it1lz]

Love the way the horses are spoilt John - and they know it

[@user-kz8mq8co8i]

Why would the tourists want to walk through excrements from the horses instead of the gates for humans? Interesting.

[@cherylschantz9893]

They aren’t paying attention.

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Maybe they are used to that in their own country.

[@maybarnard1088]

The boxes were clean, they are cleaned every night. No horses had been in the boxes when those people walked through them. However, during the day horse poop doesn't seem to stop people taking a short cut through the boxes, some even try when the horse is in there.

[@emstirling-is4nu]

You are correct. i've seen people go through and one who did so when the horse was i the box.@@maybarnard1088

[@jeanbridgman7513]

Hello John. Kittens asleep, I'm catching up. I do enjoy seeing spots in London. Thank you for sharing 💖🌹🇺🇸

[@heatherharvey3129]

John, you're correct in saying that you didn't think the grey police horse was Ava - Ava is a much darker dappled grey which usually indicates it's a younger horse.

[@Charliesgrl29]

I absolutely love your walks through London on the way to horse guards. I was fortunate enough to vacation there in 1985 but had my 18 month old baby with me so I couldn’t enjoy my time there as much as I would have liked. Your walks bring back many wonderful memories 💜

[@christinewhitfeld7939]

I so enjoyed this morning walk. Really lovely. Thanks J!!!

[@TheGwildandfree777]

Morning John! Thanks again for taking us on another walk about London! Quite surprised to see that the red paint still remains on the building. And I would have definitely made the culprits do the cleaning!

[@mandywhitton]

Hi John you the very best Photographer for Horse Guards you need the medal 🏅 you DO US Proud in UK ❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep up your Good Work we love it xxx ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Pagan6979-be6ct]

Hi there John. Very much enjoyed your walk to Horse Guards this morning being 12th (Mother's Day) I'm always behind even though we are ahead of you time wise 🙄 How pleasant to see the guards and horses come out for their first shift. Clean horse boxes, friendly sweaty tourists, mr mint man. Lol always a hoot to see the horses drinking their water. I remember last year's scenes ie: Pagan 😍 Horse Tallah is that the correct spelling? Listening to you having hard case conversation with your friend regards to horse names and Trooper Jeffrey... 🤣 funny. Have a great day today John and watch for the showers. Thanks kiwi 😊

[@winmarfbd909]

Thank you! You are so right, it's beautiful in the morning light, and nice to see before the crowds arrive. So good of you to get out and about to take us for an early walk. ❤️

[@user-ko4fd7im3j]

Good morning John. Linda from Florida. Enjoyed the morning walk. Love the architecture! Everything was so green & beautiful & clean. Didn't see any trash. The horse did not spit out the mint. It is difficult for horses to eat with a bit in their mouth & food/treats fall out of their mouth. When the troopers & Gatesman or police officers talk to the horse Guards I'd love to know what they are talking about. Have a lovely day & stay cool. Since I'm in Florida I can relate to the heat & humidity.

[@tallships-horses]

Cavalry Sunday was also that day. Apart from the heat, I hope you had a nice day.

[@BonnieTrobis]

Good morning John, what a beautiful view. Thank you for sharing it with us

Absolutely love your walk at the beginning.

[@beckysingleton596]

I love it when the horse smiles!! That trooper ( I call him Danny. Don't know why😂) is gonna build those muscles up carrying that water. He should get a sponge to dip in the water to cool the horse. It would be easier. Makes me think of Pagan tho, smiling like that

[@Sara_Oh]

I had wondered what it looked like getting the very first horses of the day, and here we are :)

[@vivaldi1948]

Loved your walk about. Every time you do one I fall in love with London even more.

So glad that you took my suggested route, as a Londoner that’s the route I’d take to avoid the tourists. Thank you, John. x

[@Logansmilitarydrums]

As logans mum thank you, that means a lot

[@beckysingleton596]

Who's Logan and Frank?

[@paulinemegson8519]

Logan is the young lad dressed as a Blues and Royals at HorseGuards today, and Frank is another young lad who dresses as a HouseHold guard. They’re both well known and regarded with great affection at HorseGuards. Note the boxman bringing the sword from the shoulder to a vertical position(known as “carrying sword”), while Logan had his photo taken. That’s the cavalry version of a salute.

[@beckysingleton596]

Good day John. Thank you for showing beautiful views of London. Your narration is amusing and so informative for me. Well done 👍. I learn something new every time! 🇺🇸❤❤

[@davidperry2306]

Hi John, we sat down to enjoy a wonderful lunch and saw this video waiting to be watched. You walking along the embankment almost retracing my footsteps of many years ago. Then you turned the camera and looked back towards Westminster to show the KHANage that has been done to Victoria Embankment. It was reassuring to see that the destruction of the roads hadn't had the same effect on the buildings. The London I remember has long disappeared over the past 48 years and sadly the current state he has created for London now means I will never travel the 80 miles or so to visit it again. Thanks for your videos, they mean a lot and revive some old dusty memories. Take great care while venturing out in Khan land.

[@madeleinegombert661]

Love your humor John.

[@jaynesmalley9718]

What a fabulous City London truly is. Thank you for the walk and commentary John. I really, really enjoyed it. I got so excited then thinking the same as you,,,, Ormonde !!! :) How on earth did those vandals get that paint up so high on the MOD building?

Always lovely to hear your commentary John. A really informative visit and so many giggles with it. You're the best.!

I seen the damage just after this was done, it was bright red..most likely the stone has been stained...and might require a certain chemical to whiten it back up...?

[@karenfrancis4003]

John, I totally agree with you!!! Those people who painted the Ministry building would be in jail for years, and they would be cleaning off every inch!!! I literally cried when I walked by and saw what had happened!!!!

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

Thanks for the stroll around London. There are are times these days when I sometimes find strolling from room to room a problem so sightseeing without having to walk to see the sights is much appreciated. I’m not sure I would have described that tourist who just stood there while Luxembourg was acting up as “fearless.” Stupid, dumb, unaware, batsh*t crazy may have been better. But if he thought he’d still be standing if he got hit by a broadside of an unsettled horse he was, at best, delusional. Water is a better heat conductor than air so keeping a horse hydrated and dousing it with water and leaving it wet will cool it down faster. But that effect is lost if a succession of tourists start mauling it with their hot sweaty paws. But never underestimate how smart horses can be. I think Luxembourg has twigged on that acting up let’s him swap being too hot and pestered by tourists for his nice cool stable, a bit of a snack and a snooze if he feels like it.

[@kah10161]

Hello! Yesterday, 12 May, was Mother’s Day here in the States. And it was also Cavalry Sunday, plus Graspan Sunday for the Royal Marines.

[@wendypetersen7529]

I checked it, and your temp was knocking on for 72 F for those of us that don't do the Celsius thing. Now that's hot for England! It's the humidity that wipes you out. They'll have soldiers dropping today. It's so nice to see the horses being taken care of in the heat.. If they have to work in it, at least they get a drink and a wet rub down. As for the horse - who needs words?
