DO NOT TOUCH THE KING'S GUARD or HORSE! Afternoon with Some Rude Tourists at Horse Guards in London

[@Londonchronicles]

Timestamps: 1:10 Two gorgeous police horses enter at Horse Guards. 7:07 Tourist try to provoke a reaction from the horseman. 17:35 Nuns visit the Horse Guards and pose beside the King's Guard and his horse. 29:18 Armed police dealing with tourists to stand behind the bollards as the famous Changing of the Guards Ceremony at 3 pm is about to begin. 32:55 "DO NOT TOUCH THE KING'S LIFE GUARDS!" said the Horseman. Note: It's not allowed to touch the King's Guard or horses. 46:12 "Make Way for the King's Life Guard!" Her friend makes her laugh loudly. The Gatesman checks on the Horsemen. 48:02 "The Little King's Guard" visits his heroes. 55:30 Tourist asking to pet the King's Guard's horse. 1:00:54 Looks like a tourist is praying at Horse Guards. 1:05:43 "DO NOT TOUCH THE KING'S HORSE!" Or Guard? Note: It's no longer permitted to touch the horses at Horse Guards in London. BE CAREFUL when visiting it. 1:09:33 The majestic King's Guard, the Gatesman, checks on the Horsemen as he usually does every 15 minutes. 1:10:52 And this happened. Date filmed: Today, 4 August 2024. INFO: The King’s Life Guard The King’s Life Guard is conducted by soldiers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. Horse Guards is named after the troops who have mounted The King’s Life Guard here since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660. The ceremony has remained mostly unchanged for over 350 years. Changing of The King's Life Guard The ceremony of changing of the King’s Life Guard starts at 11am with the Old Guard formed up on Horse Guards Parade. As the New Guard arrives, a trumpeter sounds a royal salute and the officer salutes. The New Guard forms up facing the old one. Once both lines are still, the corporal major, senior non-commissioned officer and sentries of the New Guard (the first relief) rein back their horses and leave for the guard room to take over their duties, which lasts for 48 hours. The sentries from the Old Guard return to the parade ground and the entire Old Guard returns back to barracks. When the monarch is in London, there is a ‘long guard’ consisting of an officer, corporal major (who carries the regimental standard), two non commissioned officers, a trumpeter and 10 troopers. When the monarch is away, the guard is reduced to two non-commissioned officers and 10 troopers known as a ‘short guard’. Whatever the season or weather, members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ride down from Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge to take over guard duties. TIMINGS OF DUTIES The Guard Change currently takes place on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am. The two iconic soldiers on horses that mount duty on Whitehall at the entrance of Horse Guards change on the hour every hour from 10am until 4pm. This ensures that, regardless of the time you choose to visit the museum, you are guaranteed a captivating spectacle of ceremonial duties in progress. The King’s Life Guard is the name given to the guard duty performed by The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. It dates from 1660 when The Life Guards mounted a permanent guard at the entrance to Whitehall Palace. Responsibility for mounting the guard alternates between The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals. An inspection at Hyde Park Barracks decides which ‘relief’ a soldier will do: the smartest will carry out his duty on his horse and the least well turned out will do longer duties on foot. The guard then rides to Horse Guards via Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill and The Mall. - Information above is according to householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/blog/the-kings-life-guard/ - Have you ever visited the Household Cavalry Museum?

These Blues and Royals Guards. We're right on it today. I applaud them. Good job!❤️💂‍♀️🇬🇧👍👍

Okay people, all of a sudden, Tourons are not touching the horses. What have I missed?

[@ANDREAS-fc1bx]

@@holmema11 Some still are..I guess they have to be told until they get the message..Or punished for breaking the rules 🙄

Obrigada por nos informar sobre o funcionamento da guarda.Abraço do Brasil.

The horses look much happier and calmer since the no touching rule came in keep it up

[@celinanascimento2920]

Concordo

[@robbiepogue3559]

What a great guard! He doesn’t put up with an BS!! As it should be.

[@cyndi.K9090]

I love when the guard shouts it out! Not quietly.

[@holmema11]

I'm an elderly lady, but some of these younger ladies have no shame with what they wear in public now 😮. Had to comment.

[@WRITING-DRAGONS]

I absolutely..my mom always told me…”…make ‘em guess….” Females are just …..

[@dianapeek6936]

Feel free. They look as if they have been dragged along the road by a runaway tractor. No style or respect for themselves.

[@patcummings6950]

I really appreciate the time stamps. Thank you for taking the time to do that.

[@secretpaw-gm6lw]

It's so refreshing to see a peaceful crowd that's not crowding the horses. It's working. 😊

[@Lotus-og6if]

Thank goodness people can’t harass the horse anymore and it’s a good thing that this guard is actually enforcing the no touch rule.

[@pam9690]

I hate when a guard is walking by and people stop & stare as if they’re seeing an alien.👽

[@Castyk]

Me sucede lo mismo:miran al Guardia Real como algo que no saben lo que es.Eso es la demostracion que no saben donde estan.Muchos van donde ven gente.

[@GeorgeMyers-gx6qj]

I hate more when they laugh at them! Makes my blood boil!

[@jjones4314]

I'm an American & I find the royal guard & the military protocol fascinating! I would probably be the kind of person you say you hate even though I would never be rude or disrespectful!

[@Barny-26]

Or when they start giggling like it’s just some sort of show. These are SOLDIERS people. SOLDIERS ON DUTY!!

[@jackie6582]

Or laugh,giggle so rude

[@MotherwomanKC]

32:52 I can’t believe she touched the Guard. His boots take forever to polish and she put her hands on them. The guard was not harsh, just clear and she listened.

[@0010-n8q]

All of a sudden they can all understand & read English.. behave … comes upon them light a lightening bolt, unruly, unacceptable, torturous vile behaviour of grownups mauling away at the horses ..i thought Britain had the great “ RSPCA “ .. did they not take any interest in the mauling of defenceless animals?… “ shame on them “..😮

[@SREYOUN-DJ]

When the sign now said do not touch the horse, the rude tourists started to touch the trooper 😂they can't keep their hands to themselves.

[@jazmo6662]

That poor kid in the guards uniform. Parents forcing him to stand beside the big scary horse! Why could they take the hint?

[@gerrin7735]

Another boy, Frank, does it but he’s older, has better uniforms and doesn’t need his parents’ prodding. This poor kid and another I’ve seen lately, have copycat parents trying to compete.

[@Wulfyr]

Frank very obviously wants to be there. That poor kid very obviously didn't.

[@ANDREAS-fc1bx]

@@jazmo6662 Do you mean Frankie? Dressing like a soldier I believe is his dream..He's got a few uniforms. Idk of other kids.

@@Wulfyr Wow I haven't seen copycats. How ridiculous are some people 🙄 smh

[@cyndi.K9090]

Because they're determined to get that memory on camera. More important than what it's doing to their child.

[@sandimccracken2781]

That poor kid doesn’t want to wear that tall hat‼️

[@PatriciaTennery]

Shame on that father. Selfish man and selfish mother. Gadzooks!

[@PatriciaTennery]

Your dragging him makes you look so selfish and mean. But then it’s all about you and not the boys wishes.

[@PatriciaTennery]

He is not a toy doll. Grow up parents.

[@cyndi.K9090]

At the last there when the man kept trying to touch the horse, and the guard yelled at him, he laughed, probably thinking it was funny, or maybe embarrassed. It looked as though the horse, (chomping at the bit) could be saying, "come closer little human. I haven't gotten to bite anybody in the last hour!"

[@MotherwomanKC]

52:24 Poor little kid. He seems so unhappy wearing that. 54:05 Awwww, he is crying and pulling the hat off and they are forcing it back on his head. 55:48 Oh my gosh, this feels abusive to the poor kid. It’s summer and that is polyester and faux fur, he’s sweating, his hair is wet from sweat, he’s trying to take it off, they are slapping his hands away, now they are dragging him next to horse. 58:43 Oh, my god, they are relentless. Now the mother is dragging him.

[@dianapeek6936]

Its a cultural thing. Evil person but shes determined to have a picture to take back to the large extended family in Asia .You see it a lot with that race of parent, particularly if he's their first born son.

[@jjones4314]

Why not put the warning signs on both sides of guards box instead of just one side? That way no one can say they didn't see the sign if the horse bites them or they get yelled at for touching the horse?

[@ANDREAS-fc1bx]

@@jjones4314 i think everyone should get a sticker on their forehead!

How long are these parents going to torture this child who has said no 100 times?

I can only imagine what that boy has to do to please and show off his parents. He should leave this family and become his own self as soon as possible but only if he can do so with permission, of course. ❤

[@francescadojaquez3847]

@@Horseyperson12 I know right,but to the parents it's not about the safety of their child it's all about the the perfect picture in front of the guardsmen and the horse with him in his costume.its very loud and clear how scared he was standing next to this giant horse even next to the adults this horse is larger the big question is do they know how easy it would be for the horse to squish their noggins like a 🍅. it's like look people pull your head out of your 🍑 open your 👀's and realize that you are putting your kids in harms way

[@dianapeek6936]

Until they have what they want. Poor little beggar will be punished, you can bet your boots.,

I think the parents are beginning to realise they are being filmed, Father looked concerned at times back in the yard.

[@Kimberly-dn4mc]

8:35 - You should be so proud of yourself! 🙄 You're now plastered all over the internet being utterly disrespectful, grabbing at the horse again and again, after the guard initially pulled the horse away from you! / 23:00 - Ridiculous! This mother knows the horse isn't to be touched, but she sends her son up to try and touch it! 👏 Great job of teaching your child to be disrespectful! / 32:59 After grabbing the guards boot, he tells her not to touch him! What makes her think that it's acceptable in any way to grab another person? Clearly, older is not wiser! And she then has the gaul to throw him the side-eye?! / Oh, he's just so funny!! 🤪 Move along old, disrespectful man! *KUDOS to the guard on the right for using his wonderful, deep voice to get people away from him and the horse!! You're doing an exceptional job! All of the guards did very well today!*

[@francescadojaquez3847]

It's all about the pic not the safety of their kids they won't be happy until one of the horse snatched the poor child up and toss'm around like a ragdoll and then what they get angry because they kept forcing the kid to take the darn picture

This horrendous behaviour only came into being with the advent of this phones. if they had to pay to have films developed as we did this intrusive, behaviour would never have happened. when ever I visited London from the first time I did so was in 1951 and had my Fathers old box brownie Camera. with 19 photographs on each film. . I personally do not use one o those phones's I still use my camera albeit one that allows me to take whatever I want. and I get them processed. I am not saying that these should not allow photographs on them but there should be a limit per session.
