Guardsman collapses during Trooping the Colour ceremony for Queen’s official 90th birthday

[@gaylewright5320]

Poor guy, I feel sorry for him, he must have been so embarrassed.

[@pifandrei5743]

Gayle Wright how can you be embarrased if you pass out, its like when your`re dead.

[@wkpowe]

Gayle Wright he wasn't embarrassed he was unconscious

[@NotanAlt]

He dead

[@chayanosky9016]

Gayle Wright yes every time I see him he hides

[@marleycummins1675]

[@mjaykin4821]

shit nevermind your right #nohomo :p

[@Sierrawavemp4]

well the rules are the ones who make a queen guard into a royal guard they need to respect the queen and the country of UK is monarch guard gets paid with more than 300 pounds

[@MegaTonkaman]

Why aren't the medics permitted to wear MTPs for performing their duties instead of the female medic trying to keep her dignity wearing a tight uniform skirt and her forage cap on and perform the most important duty that of MEDICAL AID. The medics were unable to get right down to the casualty to check for breathing and vital signs in case their caps fell off or in the case of the female medic she ripped her tights on the rough parade ground. When is there actually going to be an OUTBREAK OF COMMONSENSE, allow the highly skilled trained people to do their jobs properly unhindered I bet HM The Queen wouldn't mind at all if someone could perform their role as they are trained to do. No doubt this uniform decision for medics comes from someone who never has had to treat a casualty. Get real and move into the 21st Century.

[@MegaTonkaman]

Well my friend as it turned out this young guardsman sustained a serious injury, he ended up in hospital with a broken jaw after he JUST fainted, I don't think a glass of water would have been much use!

[@neville592]

evidence

[@isunlloaoll]

MegaTonkaman That's proper dressing, this is an official ceremony, so everyone has to look their best

[@NapoleonCalland]

You're suggesting that a full-dress uniform can't be designed to be both smart and practical? +MegaTonkaman has a valid point, no?

[@scanjett]

Didn't look very practical.

[@tazzy4439]

...and the queen said,"off with his head"

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

i laughed so hard when the camera suddenly cut to a passed out guard just sitting there

[@captainimperialism4568]

Everyone saying “why didn’t the other troops run to help him?!?!?” One, because they aren’t medics and aren’t trained to deal with injuries or faints. Two, because they have medics specifically trained to care for injured soldiers. And three, because they are all conducting an extremely important parade ceremony. This isn’t a case of soldiers being treated as mindless drones, it’s a case of dedicated men serving their nation with honor and dedication, and they should be commended for it.

[@Faris_Izzan]

@@borntoslay3996 Fainting in parade deck is normal.

[@Faris_Izzan]

@@borntoslay3996 up to you,what you thinking about it.

[@BlauAlder]

Noticed that the guardsman has no studs in his boots. Is there a reason for this?

[@grammarnazi7428]

BlauAlder They are walking on pavement, not heavy grass terrain.

[@11viewer77]

1:14 It looks a bit cruel, how he lays there and no one seems to care

[@user-rv7xx3ut2g]

They dont want to get fired of of they're character

[@KolibriMert]

They're trained to maintain order, imagine if an entire company started rushing to help him, this is why they have the other soldiers in their No.1 Uniform rush over to pick him up.

[@yeetfecteau1380]

You have to keep bearing throughout the entire thing

[@bakersmileyface]

Everyone has their role to play. The guardsmen are there to parade for a time-old tradition. The medics are the trained professionals that are meant to be handling that. Don't forget that they're not people. They're soldiers.

[@gwennydoline2911]

Wtf... how long was he there on the ground before someone came to help? Jesus Christ... What if he had an heardattack?! I would be ashamed if I was responsible that presentation is more important than humanity here

[@maxsmaxs8464]

Gwennydoline them are soldier, i shouldn't worry much bout it.. they know what they sign for..

[@thwalesproductions]

Gwennydoline You would of helped him but if you were a soldier over there you wouldn’t as it’s a procedure. Also if you faint the guard who fainted must faint a direction. If they faint head first it isn’t usually serious if on back it’s serious and medics will be their ASAP. Also this is a important ceremony and you risk losing your job for breaking the rules

[@IloveWaffles-e1j]

When you wake up and you thought it was a sunday but turn out be a monday 1:13

[@Heir_spooky]

cant the queen just get a limo instead of acting like they are in the 1700

[@thwalesproductions]

No cause this is Britain

[@VaeVictisXIII]

@Joseph Tamayo So, fuck it xD We drink shit by the pint ffs so don't be surprised old shit like this still happens

[@0108-t4q]

Tyiler Hanks tourism uno

[@evancortez2]

it happpens. Never happened to me, but it did to a few friends of mine. It's more embarrasing than anything else. Serving your country is the highest honor, people who've never served can't really understand

[@bakersmileyface]

My mum's boyfriend was in the Coldstream Gds. The way he described it to me that made me somewhat understand was that when you join the army, you're no longer a person but a soldier. You forget everything that you want to do and only do what you're trained to do.

[@ImranKhan-cz3rg]

Life For queen its a party For poor its a duty

[@loicdurand8435]

exactly she doesn't seem to care

[@superancientmariner1394]

Imran Khan....."For queen its a party, For poor its a duty"......For queen , trooping the colour is not a party, it is her duty as monarch,and one she has done for more years than you have been alive.

[@muffinuniverse5356]

The Queen's life has much more duty than we do. She has to stay in a Palace all her life with probably tons of rules to follow that she might not even agree with and we have the privilage to explore the world whenever we want. A royal life is just as hard as ours.

[@aldinzlt]

Imran Khan you just need to know how to live it

[@felipiferreira767]

yes her life of having a 4.5 million dollar horse carriage is difficult

[@teepicgamer73]

Why don't they give these people modern uniforms that are lighter and less likely to make u faint or get made fun of?

[@missahsee]

Every uniform would be 'made fun of' but those with insecurities. A uniform design that has a 300- or 500-yr tradition is not altered much. Fabrics have gotten lighter over the years, as with most anything else. The occasional fainting may happen when a member begins a new medicine (antihistamine or decongestant), has not had enough fluids, or electrolytes (esp. potassium). Locking nerves, or dropping the chin may close off blood flow. The main cause (besides excessive heat and humidity/no breeze) is a body that is not optimum... not trained well enough. I hope you understood my comment on 'insecurities'. People make fun of others when they themselves are not educated - and cannot understand a situation... it is so much quicker to say 'gee, that's lame' than to be educated about a style of uniform that has been around the British Isles since the 14th or 16th century.

[@teepicgamer73]

+MarchProf1 Tok than you, I'm from America and didn't know that.

[@paulanthony8080]

+B Halvor LOL this uniforms aren't from the 14th or 16th century are you mad. The colour is the only thing that hasn't changed in centuries. You honestly think they used to wear the same uniform in the 15th century lol.

[@jamiehawthorne1]

teepicgamer73 it's not the uniforms it's them not drinking and eating properly

[@Dobblo]

The ceremonial uniform is traditional. They don't get made fun of, they're probably one of the most well known regiments worldwide. The uniform had nothing to do with the faint. He's a human. Probably the stress.

[@EDEZ-PresidentEdo]

its sad that they dont tend to help their comrade...real sad...all because of a "ceremony"

[@yukifubu8089]

Not because of a "ceremony", but because of Military Law, and it's not just in the UK, it's all over the world. Don't make statements from what you see, it'll only make you look like an idiot, instead, get educated.

[@EDEZ-PresidentEdo]

get educated oh wow. millitary law? to leave your comrade on the ground? fuck outta here with that

[@yukifubu8089]

You ask the question if you should get educated but there you go answering your own question. You have no clue what Military Law is. They have a medical team, so they didn't leave their comrade on the ground. UNLESS you want to know what punishments you receive from doing this (abandoning your duties), then sign up and go for it. Bet you'll never do it again. Now, go get educated.

[@EDEZ-PresidentEdo]

lol i didnt ask the question at all. and what medical team?? all i saw was a woman running towards the guy with 2 others after idk..some time? punishment for abandoning duties for trying to help your own comrade...thats just sad then isn't it? they have a word for such people..they call em puppets

[@lizardki115alt7]

Benjamin Dover not in America, if someone faints or has a seizure the first thing you do is come to the rescue we are humans not weapons.

[@daveportigo2795]

Poor Guard I Think He Collapsed Because Of Dihydration And He Might Be Really Tired All Day Standing Marching And Guarding The Queen.

[@tristanha.9413]

The queen looks younger than 90, she looks like 70. Horrible collapse.

[@pirateslifeb]

how is it that the queen looks amazing in almost every color?!

[@GamesCooky]

Man, it must suck to wake up afterwards knowing that he collapsed during such a big event. Poor guy :/

[@richiecheval9528]

I know a lad that collapsed when the Welsh Guards were trooping the colour. One too many shandies the night before lol stretchered off in front of his parents and grandparents as well. Lovely kid as well.

[@itartersuuschieftainofthes4953]

1:36 me and my parents when i have to go to school

[@DAWN--x--]

🙈 hope he was ok. He was unconscious a long time for someone who has fainted.

[@mdcs1992]

I fainted on parade with my regiment in Germany. Landed on my face. Got up. Fainted again. In my defence, we had been stood there for 2 hours and I was the fourth or fifth one to faint. Still took a while to live down though!

[@gauravkulshrestha4165]

Poor guy. I hope he s doin alright now

[@willdaymond1669]

They took so many pictures of the fainted guard, how disrespectful.

[@thwalesproductions]

This is a public parade with millions of people watching at home.. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

[@jasperrhodes9236]

This is why you shouldn't lock your knees

[@CaliberWolf69]

Mischief Well it was apparently around 70 degrees during the time and the uniforms were heavy.

[@gondametzger6146]

JaySavesTheDay it called fainting to attention and they have to do it and are trained for it

[@alijaffarov5069]

Why the other troops didnt come to help him? a protocol shouldn`t be important than human life

[@Benjd0]

Medics are on standby for that purpose, so the procedure is to let them deal with it.

[@illegalalien6542]

The British are fainting! The British are fainting! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. And to think they do all this for some old bag who's probably surrounded by 100 AC units🤣

[@RyhzaliaLisa4118]

Yikes. He looked like he was out cold. I feel very sorry for the lad. I hope he got well soon after.

[@richardkuszel2351]

It's nice to see what you are working for , where all your taxes are going to. So the so called royalty can live the life . There toilet paper probably cost more then most people make in a year but the English people I guess don't mind paying royalty well fare

[@kevinromero3990]

What's gonna happen when the queen die ? Is it going to be another one ?

[@ianwilson6417]

This, he will certainly not do. He will be king, even if it would be for a couple of days.

[@ghtjnn]

Why? Charles will probably make for a pretty good King, he's been 'training' for the past 60 years... Youth does not guarantee William will be a better monarch. Besides, you get rid of direct hereditary succession and you might as well do away with the whole monarchy, tradition is tradition.

[@antoniavie]

Simple, it will be announced "The Queen is dead, long live the King" and then the Prince of Wales, Charles will become King. Soon after there will be the coronation of King Charles III.

[@thehoneybadger1223]

Prince Charles will take the throne and become king, unless he abdicates it to his eldest son. However, abdication is seen as shameful and the last monarch to do so was Edward VIII in 1936, it raised a lot of controversy and is still seen as a shameful failure today. (Personally I'm not bothered by it, I'm just a minnow compared to those great whites on the throne)

[@DiaboloBoi]

Am I the only one who realises (respect for the fallen soldier) but like I mean the queen is of the the richest people yet they are providing medics with like 1900's strechers? Hospitals have better equipment than them

[@thwalesproductions]

Cause they want to look traditional and they want to move they troop like they would in a war. Not like in a hospital. It shows respect

[@lithuanianboy4523]

what happened to the guardman for what reason he is collapsed

[@matthewwilson915]

Its Britain, it was either a hit and run, or he got too drunk.

[@ama8541]

The queen's guard said 'It ain't half hot ma'am.'

[@justinwilliams318]

Wow I wonder how long he was actually laying there

[@mt2oo8]

Why are people saying it's disrespectful for nobody to come and help him? They did fucking go and help him. The other troops have orders, those that came for him came as fast as they could.

[@lordtachanka503]

I know this isn't​ funny but... I had to laugh at the guy trying to lift the bed thingy up while they are still strapping the guy

[@georgeanddodohooves3374]

Lord Tachanka it’s called a stretcher

[@nero-zy9gl]

That was so disrespectful, those photographers were too busy snapping away at the poor guard.

[@pix046]

He went into action in a sense. Stretchered off the battlefield. A new meaning to falling out. He will be ok.

[@ljc6141]

I like how they placed the gun on the stretcher and immediately took it off

[@iwishiwasvintage6250]

It just show's the dedication they have protecting the royal family

[@Jemboj2895]

I don't mean this offensively, but what's up with the big fuzzy hats?

[@pifandrei5743]

how doesent he get cpr?

[@basket1099]

Catalin Stefan it's from locking his knees. It causes you to pass out. He's fine

[@lindi9948]

Catalin Stefan you can't do cpr on someone who is alive are you trying to kill them there has to be no palse he just fainted

[@cgg3169]

Those uniforms really need a change, theyre so ridiculous and i think they have a role in making guards feel dizzy/collapse.

[@insofar4221]

How much soldiers ?

[@ronatkinson7623]

and when he wakes up from fainting he will be on a charge for leaving his post

[@triggerdagunsdead438]

When that woman pick him up she was holding the balls of the fainted guard

[@mattbod]

I hope he wasn’r punished...these lads are amazing.

[@the1youlovetohate633]

Damn this looks sooo majestic feels like I'm watching a Disney princess movie 😻

[@vipinnilda8253]

I was getting worried why nobody was reaching out to help him.

[@oscarthegrouch2549]

is no one gonna talk about the Queen's fabulous outfit??!?

[@comically1776]

why did they collapse

[@Buildinup6]

I know these guys have orders. But i think its wrong for any country, if a solder falls you should be able to come out of form and help them. Look how long it took for someone to come see if he was even ok and obviously he wasnt.

[@yukifubu8089]

Because Military Law, unless you wanna get shot, go ahead, "gentleman".

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

In January, the Daily Mirror revealed that Ministry of Defence (MoD) spending on the hats - which cost £1,224 each - has increased dramatically in recent years. The MoD spent £149,379 on 122 of the the hats at the taxpayer’s expense in 2015, the newspaper reported.

[@radioactive5673]

do the guard get punish?? or something i hope not:(

[@OneJazzyBoye]

He can't really get punished for fainting, you only tend to get punished for things if you did it willingly or deliberately.

[@papichulo1287]

Soo...I was just casually scrolling through the other videos while the ad was playing and I find the SAME video that's 55 seconds..never changed so fast😑

the medics wernt that careful with him he could off had a neck injury from the fall

[@Batman-sm2mz]

I know right? One of them seemed like he had no idea what he was doing. He put the gun on the stretcher right before they were going to put the guard on it, then forgot to secure the straps.

[@asd8459]

"Come on, hurry up! Lets get him out of here quickly so they can ride their horses and wave at us"

[@ParagonRex]

I feel for those guys considering how hot and heavy those uniforms must be and what the weather is like. Not cool that they left him laying like that but duty before dishonor

[@gordonrichstone1843]

maybe he was sacrificed by the queen

of course the woman is grabbing him by his pants :D

[@FirehouseDub]

We know now that he fainted but it could also have been a massive heart attack too. How friggin stupid is the protocol that everyone just stood and watched?! He's probably got a young family. Pathetic.

[@prik9802]

I thought it was fake I just honestly hope he knows now he's made millions laugh

[@francessweeney2308]

A skirt with 2 a line pleats would have been far more practical.The female medic, though on scene quickly was finding it very hard to make a primary assessment of the soldier's condition; then move him on to the stretcher in a straight skirt.

[@jonprice3342]

The Guards are told to drink plenty of water and faint face down so it attracts attention to medical staff who maybe watching from afar. This fainting style helps with medical staff efficiency. Other Guards don't break formation as this is happening. Another guard will replace the fallan guard shortly after they've being wisked away.
