G’day, John. He, @ 3:29, does not want to be recorded ripping off tourists. So, @ 21:19 we see again another reason for a “ Do Not Enter Archway” sign, those tourists have no clue that they should not be in there. So good to see Ormond, the living legend, holding court. Thank you, John ; for another very enjoyable video.

[@LynnL3588]

I am pretty sure Ormonde is enjoying having no attention. He is relaxed when they stay away. He is in a sleepy mode 😊

[@BlueIsis433]

John the horse is Northumberland, often the Elizabeth Cup winner is seen on him.

[@AnitaBowman-wl7gv]

Hi John..I'm almost certain the horse opposite ORMONDE in box 2 was NORTHUMBERLAND..almost the same blaze as ORMONDE but to thumb on the clenched fist...remember him from Hyde Park Stables for the Elizabeth Cup judging....

If you tourists want to visit London, please learn respect when you are anywhere near our guards.. total disrespect!!!

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I'm an American and London is on my bucket list. I have a low tolerance for being humiliated in public. The best way to avoid humiliation is to behave like a civilized person. When I visit I'm planning to blend in as much as possible. Going to a London tailor with photos of the King and ordering what he wears not to impersonate his majesty but simply to follow his lead. He is the epitome of gentleman's style. Then when I do have my photo taken my grandchildren will look proudly at the photos. This includes visiting anywhere his majesty's guards are. A respectful distance is easy enough for anyone. But I particularly don't like people invading my personal space and so I don't like strangers getting too close to me and I treat others as I prefer to be treated. It's easy enough to angle a camera in such a way to make it look like you are closer than you are and there is a ton of stuff you can do in post production to make you look close as well. It's called forced perspective. If I'm having my picture taken with one of these well dressed guards in the photo I also want the photo to look dignified. You can probably guess I'm not a kid. I also want to note that these guards have probably the best uniforms of any military anywhere. Being seen in the same photo as one to me would be a proud moment. And I consider it incredibly kind that they let tourists photograph themselves with them at all. In my country you try that and you are going to be on the ground in handcuffs being dragged off in a government vehicle for extensive interrogation and put on the terrorist watch list. And don't get me started on how magnificent those horses are.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

Me too. John is already providing a public service with his videos. I'm planning to visit London when I retire and honestly his videos have been so helpful. But this is above and beyond the call of duty performing a law enforcement service without doing anything illegal in the process which is not always easy for a civilian. This is in the highest tradition of the press which I think we can count John as.

[@Notwokeever]

would it cost the met that much money out of their budget to not have two coppers posted on that bridge daily to combat this criminal activity

[@heatherharvey3129]

It would simply move to another nearby tourist hotspot literally just off the bridge and it would two less coppers available to respond to more serious incidents across the city. It's a sad truth in every major city having watched it happening in so many cities when travelling across Europe.

[@heatherharvey3129]

@@bernadettelanders7306 Yes, it's a version of the "shell game" and it's 99% certain to be a con job which is why it's illegal to play in so many countries. The woman was the "spotter" warning of police approaching and/or people filming like John and the guy who "won", seen briefly as John approached, is most likely the 3rd accomplice who "wins" so as to reassure those gathering around that those gathering around have a 1 in 3 chance of winning when there's virtually no chance. Like so many of the other scams in the major cities, it tends to be organised groups of certain nationalities/ethic groups who work these scams. It's a very big "business".

[@tallships-horses]

What can be, as far as hoof numbers are concerned, is that the farriers are only doing the shoes at the moment. And as there are a lot of new horses who needs new measured ones and the old ones who needs their regular ones, it takes a lot of time, especially now just before all the events. This delays the stamping. Just a theory from my side.

[@LondonCityWalks]

That actually makes perfect sense! Certainly explains why many of the familiar horses have not had their hooves restamped.
