[@user-dl8eo6zc9z]

Hi, John, did you ever find out if those two men were really Police Officers!?

[@annaking9213]

The gate man that yelled, I love when he’s in the boxes. His presents is so regal. He’s a great guard for the King.

Thank you for the narration. We here in the U.S. enjoy the films.😊

I noticed how much bigger than the Lieutenant, the inspection senior was. Not sure of his rank. I saw your earlier defense of Buska and really admire you for that John. Have a good evening.🎉

Hello John please tell us more about yourself. Show us a photo of yourself. It would be nice to meet you although you are thousands of miles away.You do an excellent job of informing us of every bit of activity taking place at the horse guards as well as all other activity going on in the courtyard and the back playground. We really enjoy watching your videos and hard work Keeping up with all activities to include the behaviour of the individuals there while sightseeing. You are also incredibly knowledgeable of the royal military and their duties..we thought it would be interesting to meet the man behind the camera. Have a good day

[@mariablundall2228]

Spot on with your statement i think most of john followers would love to see the man behind the camera. 😊

[@garnetbarton3313]

I agree. I would love to see the man behind the camera! I love watching but also hearing your commentary. I love your walks around the city and getting to see someplace many of us will never see in person.

[@choctaw5050]

I love your sense of humor. You are so full of shenanigans…. Never boring!

[@VKS44]

You seem to be the only one who comments while filming, thank you for that. You also have a good ear for languages, what tels me, having a pleasant voice, you must be a good singer too! You communicate with people with ease, I would like to dance with you any time! The man of many hidden talents! I bet your life was never boring? ❤❤❤

Thank you John ❤😂😂you made my day brighter 👍and wauw the troopers were magnificent during inspection 👏❤️🌹

[@pamplant3610]

Good evening John. They say you're never too old to learn something new. I've been riding horses since I was 6 years old (now 77) and I just found out that one should never approach a horse from the front as that is where it's blind spot is and they are easily startled. Also, horses don't really like their faces rubbed. They prefer their neck or shoulder. My dad was a Col. In the army and where he was stationed they had Cav. I used to ride those horses on Sat. as a kid because they knew I was an experienced rider and probably because of my dads rank. Probably wouldn't happen today.

[@annbeirne9583]

I have mentioned not rubbing horses faces or approaching from the front, also shouldn't walk behind horses either. Really horses shouldn't be going through all of this rubbing puling bridle and reins. The public shouldn't be near them at all.😡

[@lauriemapplebeck1286]

Did you say you were back from hospital? You broke your leg? Oh my! Not good John, get well soon! 🇨🇦🇬🇧🙏🏼🍁🎄

[@maryastone1]

John was joking.

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Some people seem to think this place is a Holiday camp, where they can just lounge around. I know it's hot, but even so. There's a time and a place. Parents seem to be letting their children wander. 🇬🇧🙄

[@peskycitizen7582]

😂 “That medal was for the coronation of ‘what’s his name.” 😂 Priceless!

[@DeannaJobe]

John, your comedic commentary is spot on! So glad I found you last week. I've watched far too many of these mainly just for the sarcasm.😂

[@carolforde8139]

I've seen it all now. At 18:00 the trooper is adjusting the horse's bit and there are tourists petting its nose all the while. Have they had lobotomies? Not to mention the man who won't get out of the way while waiting for his pic to be taken. Good Lord.

Anyone been watching The Kings Guard : serving the crown on channel 5 definitely worth watching

[@claudiachavez8596]

The Trooper that defended you and Buska earlier is so young! And cute! He’s now on my favorite list along with Trooper Ellis.

[@robincrittendon419]

I just love your videos. You do a great job. I love your humor. In your explanation of things you're just great thank you for videoing.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulinemegson8519]

Fluency in bollocks is a survival trait these days to be honest John. And I’m starting to think there’s a “looks” criteria to join the HHC because they’re all SO damn pretty, just as a baseline, with one or two utterly gorgeous individuals, like a certain favourite trooper, or that very tall lad, thrown in to spice things up. They’re a very handsome and impressive(esp the Blues, but I’m possibly a tad biased) regiment tho which ofc is the intention. Insulting the guards and giggling isn’t funny to anyone other than the idiots that do it. Thank you for trying to explain that to your new friend. It really was a beautiful day tho, weirdos notwithstanding….that sky was stunning. With voices, it’s not so much loudness, but more clarity and projection. Someone with good projection can make a moderately loud voice reach to the far corners of an auditorium…..I can lol(tho plenty of folk tell me I’m just “loud” lol) it’s just a matter of practice and training.

[@peskycitizen7582]

I’ve also noticed the Blues have exceptionally fine looking troopers!

[@charliewill8017]

John, your comment about the elderly lady being 36 and is now 86! I laughed so loud and hard...so darn funny! Also about the boy and getting pension. You are very clever🤣😂 (from USA)

[@Janet-ql4bh]

The lieutenant could shout anytime at me , and I would say thank you. 😂

[@helensowers4563]

I didn't know you were hurt, very sorry to hear that, get well soon good man ! ❤

[@janetbarrow3479]

I love your videos too, and your narration. I don’t know anything about the fight, please tell more. Hope your recovery is swift and complete.

[@elainebrown5586]

He’s very good looking. Probably cheesed off he’s got to be in the arches for two hours in this heat instead of on horseback for one

[@annpachini2155]

The trooper adjusting the horses bridle is usually a boxman

[@dhoffie1960]

[@candypowell4334]

Hello john. I hope you're feeling a lot better today. Just take it easy so you can heal

[@Bluelagoonstudios]

Hello John, I watched your video from yesterday again, with those two guys. I played it a few times in a row, had a good laugh of course. But they claimed Mark was there to film incidents, which isn't true. Yet they themselves provoked an incident, so they had their "moment of glory" or made fools of themselves. Until the Trooper shouted at them to leave. The police had been keeping an eye on those "lads" for a while. And no, they aren't police officers or were ones; London police are generally friendly people, quite different from here.

[@ginettechiverton7113]

Now, now John. That B word. 🇬🇧😊

[@lorraine3607]

O John. I believe you have a couple of friends. Always good for you to be hear.enjoy you very much.

[@marthamurrell9113]

How are horses chosen to be troopers? You are doing a great job! Love what you do. I’m just always behind! I really would love to see Trooping the Colors!

[@mboffield]

and the smell in the box is totally authentic to the 17th century! (apart from the Vindaloo)

[@anni50ful]

John you are funny..There was a posh very expensive boys school where I used to live in the Midlands ,every Friday they were given military training ,I used to pop out from work lunchtime to grab some lunch and you could hear the sergeant major drilling the kids ,it would of taken at least 10 mins to walk to the school from the shopping centre so his voice was super loud, there must be a few deaf kids walking around😂

[@darneyoung537]

I think he’s put out with that shout, maybe he doesn’t want to be in the Arches 😅😅

[@avrilyaxley2084]

That trooper in camos is a boxman but wr havent seen him for quite a while but now in December we still don't see him i think he got rid of Karen back in the summer he's a great guard i miss him😢

[@joyceannallen1821]

What is the purpose for slapping the horse before dismount

[@pamplant3610]

The first is letting the horse the trooper is about to dismount and to stand still. The second is letting the horse know to prepare for a weight change as the guard dismounts. These taps are not really hard, they only sound that way.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Horses LIKE to be patted firmly. Light touches just tickle which annoys horses

[@photoplanet]

You made a point about the uniforms never changing... I have a question that I'm sure someone will be able to answer - The mounted troopers wear breast and back plates (cuirasse ?)... The unmounted troopers seem to wear cuirasses or not at random intervals - even one being relieved by another... Is there a policy that both on foot should be dressed to match?

[@paulinemegson8519]

That is a really good question. I’d love to know as well. The only reason I can think of is the seasons, but that doesn’t always “appear” to be the case. I say “appear” in inverted commas because it’s easy when looking at the goings on in HorseGuards yard, thru a computer screen to get a weirdly condensed idea of time lol. On thinking tho, that doesn’t make sense because they don’t wear them with winter cloaks do they lol. If you could find out John, it’d be appreciated.

[@fayehampton2839]

I don't get it people knows to move out of the way so why don't they move

[@paulinemegson8519]

Because they’re too used to having everything revolve around them. Things go AROUND them in their minds, so to wrap their minds around the idea that they need to take responsibility for themselves, and ensure that THEYRE the ones staying out of the way, does not compute, so their Operating System just freezes up in the human equivalent of a blue screen of death.
