OFF Duty GUARD VISIT Colleagues, Horse Guard Parade

[@kaafromoz]

Getting very sick and tired of people getting so close to the horse and then pushing it's head away, if you don't want the horses head so close to you then YOU MOVE it is not up to the horse to move. Was nice to see the off duty Guards visit their mates all was nice and then the hoards descends on the horse and they pack like sardines all around the front of it. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤

[@sonjamccabe5466]

This handsome trooper has so much charisma on a dark day he can lift up your spirits with that smile the glint in his eyes and the day filled with sunshine again 🫶. Always be your self JJ.

[@lindamorris8706]

Not seen him for ages xx

[@GMN360]

The second guard on duty always looks as though he has a huge smile which becomes an enormous smile when he sees his friend.

[@BA-ng9bx]

Did you see the nice lady who bowed to the guard in respect before taking the picture, and then bowed again after taking the picture? That warmed my heart.

[@ginnyalan]

You don't push the horse's away, it's you that is in his space

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Stupid look was looking at the horse poop but was ok to put her nasty hands all over the horse mouth and nose.

[@elizabethmeador1947]

I hate rude people

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Police guard should Hage made the people move back more

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Funny how people think there cell phone take pro pictures

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Wish that would make people move back stop crowding

[@barbarabarton4078]

What a lovely photo, a beautiful smile. Oh to be 50 years younger and in the U.K. 🇦🇺

[@emmsue1053]

I was married to a Grenadier who did a tour at Bucking Palace. (not horse Guards) ... Funny story, He was armed/on duty one night. heavy rain.. A figure strolled out of the shadows in a cape with a hood up and he challenged. Two seconds later a gang of corgis came round the corner.. A little voice said "I am very sorry, its Elizabeth" ... "Ohh Ma'am I nearly shot you" ... Queen Elizabeth, "Its entirely my fault, I forgot to tell security I was walking the dogs. Thank you for being there"" ...What a lovely lady she was at all times.

[@barbarabarton4078]

@emmsue1053 I've actually heard that story. I believe our late and great Queen told it herself. I miss her even from Aust.

[@sonjamccabe5466]

Wow. That was an amazing smile from our handsome smiler when the boss visited Also very kind to special people and children ❤️

[@mariongriffiths1066]

Aaawww how nice was that for the guard of duty guards paying a visit. ❤❤❤

Handsome guard. Nice smile

And dimples!

[@Lynsey516]

@@kaydunlap4455 Aww yes the dimples are adorable 🥰

[@lindamorris8706]

Haven't seen this trooper for quite a while now xx

[@joanhuegel8326]

"Lady" sticking her tongue out at Officer...classy as ever!

[@jilldavies7094]

She is clearly the off-duty guard (you can see her introducing her male companion to the mounted guard, who then points her out to the officer who comes to check on the horse) and knows the officer well.

[@kathyturner6177]

You are going to find to many classy people there.

[@irtfan3375]

Did you see this guards parents in a video?

[@lindamorris8706]

I like this guard too. He has a lovely smile. Not seen him at Horseguards lately though xxx

[@Pagan6979-be6ct]

Core I thought she was a very rude tourist giving cheek to the officer but after reading who was who and going through the video again it was a delight to see everyone interacting... the 1st Guard then the 2nd Guard and the off duty girl talking to the officer. Very cool to see guard with big smiles engaging with his mates after beckoning with his head for them to come on over 😊Hope they all had a great day.

[@santapellot8338]

They should put The stallion's and the soldiers in a movie. They are all gorgeous,

[@user-kr9sk4wc8e]

Horses push people away when their have had enough ,but tourists don't understand that

[@paulettebillinge]

Well said, I am sick of these idiots pushing the horses face away instead of just moving themselves away.

[@kathyturner6177]

They don’t understand a lot.

[@patriciablanton6243]

Look for the horses behavior. Ears pinnrd back, mouthing their bit, stomping his/her feet and tossing their head are signs that they are stressed. Grabbing hold of the reigns is the same as grabbing the steering wheel of a car when someone else is driving, never come straight at a horse as this is their blind spot and can spook them, don;t let little children run around their legs and don't touch the area around their eyes. A horse either likes you or you make them nervous then they often times will bite or kick you.

[@bobalky3638]

It was so nice and respectful of that young man at 11:38 to bow before/after he took his photo.

[@kathyturner6177]

I am always so happy when these visitors point to the horse because I would have never noticed that 1200 pound horse standing there🤪

[@susanbenton6762]

Abdullah Thank you for sharing, I hope the commanders are reading these posts because this is the first time I have seen the police officers and Commanders make the people move back.

[@boredweegie553]

I'm watching this with sound down all I hear in my head is off you fk ,go on , shoo away you go 🤣

[@daphnestocker9532]

It makes me mad to see tourists pushing the horses head away just don’t stand so flipping close😮😮

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Good he went deeper in the box

[@synappticuser-pu7mh]

Don't stand too close to the horse if you don't want it to touch you. Common sense. Oh no not if you are a tourist who wants a Disney photo. This is not Disney and you have no business pushing the horse's face out the way. You are in their space. Have some respect please.

[@kathyturner6177]

Well said!

[@RussinTirnaNog]

Daft question... Do the Troopers have their own horse when it comes to gate duties, or is it grab a horse and go?

[@boredweegie553]

It's no a friggin petting zoo. These People should be teaching they're kids these are working soldiers and horses so they learn stuff while there.. in the military not just for entertainment .. it's no Disney land

[@caroldocherty6810]

You see that woman at beginning who stuck her tongue out at soldier telling her to get behind the bollards

[@jilldavies7094]

She is an off-duty guard and clearly is a friend of the officer. Can't you recognise a jokey relationship when you see one?

[@caroldocherty6810]

@@jilldavies7094 I never saw an officer just a corporal at most lol

[@j9t715]

Further on in the video you will see her talking to the guards , so she obviously knows them well

[@paulinedawson2017]

​@@jilldavies7094well that's not setting a good example to others no wonder some tourist show no respect😢

[@Joy-AuG81556]

Where can I find a book,if one that tells about the life of the guards, how they trained to be one,where they live,etc?

[@boredweegie553]

2.50 this is where they should stay ...right back there

[@dolliemaesone]

How many of us go and visit work people when we’re off ?

[@June-ElizabethTromans-yx7ex]

Why is it there are always those that feel entitled and push infront, the guard should have made those people get behind the bollards

[@Joyfullscroll]

Wow, Rude. The girl sticking her tongue out to the Gaurd before the change. Also the blonde dpboy Pulling on the Harness while the colleges chatted.

[@boredweegie553]

Full grown adult sticking out her tongue ... Disgusting.. where care the armed police when you need them 🙄

[@anni50ful]

Did that woman pull her tounge out at the officer? Grow up!

[@viral_beauties]

she is literally an of duty guard

[@TheMegahusky]

The very rude girl stuck her tongue out to the guard. Some very obnoxious people.

[@viral_beauties]

she is off duty guard....

[@TheMegahusky]

@@viral_beauties very childish then.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Did she stick out her tongue to the soldier? Don't go in front of people. They were there first. Hand gestures so useless.Why wear a mask taking a photo.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Someone said she knows the officer who was dressed in khaki

[@elizabethmeador1947]

Strange seeing a Amish person with a cell

[@jilldavies7094]

They are not Amish. Amish people lead plain, simple, lives---they don't go jetting off to the UK on holidays. The family you are referring to are Hasidic Jews. There is a large community of Ashkenazi (mainly Hasidic) Jews in London, mainly centred in the Stamford Hill area, but most Hasidic communities originate in Eastern Europe.
