US viewer here. I’ve just recently stumbled across your channel. My sister spent 2 years in England as a US Air Force airman and my oldest nephew was born there. But I didn’t know about the Horse Guards. I am now absolutely obsessed with your videos. And I’ve watched other channels with similar content but yours is the best. Love your commentary too. You are so very informative.

[@marybrown1539]

Update on the horses "Of the seven horses involved, two are back on duty and the other five are due to be sent to the countryside to convalesce as soon as their wounds are sufficiently healed to allow them to travel." One soldier remains in hospital. Some of the others are recovering at home.❤

What happened to the grey/white one? Can't remember the name. Thanks.

@adeleozanne3427 Vida the grey is one of the horses making steady progress.. I can not find any record of which trooper is still in hospital or any diagnosis. So I think quite rightly they wish it remain private.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

Thanks for the stroll round London again. I was watching with my son and, seeing Westminster Abbey brought back a memory from almost 50 years ago. My two passions in life, apart from the obvious, are horses and history and when my eldest son was around 8 we went round Westminster Abbey. I was explaining to him who the various memorials were for, who the people were and just where and how they slotted into our history. But whenever we found a quiet spot we were soon joined by a group of elderly American tourists and whenever we moved they did too. But I carried on with my history lesson and tried to ignore them. Once we had finished they all gave me a round of applause and £1 each (around £10 in today’s money.). They told me I’d given them far more information than their tour guide had and they’d really enjoyed my “history lesson”. If I recall my windfall was frittered away on an ice cream each for my sons - at London prices! I think the moral of the story is that I might have enjoyed being a tour guide - if it wasn’t for the damned tourists getting under my feet, baring in that mind we were tourists too.

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

If it were not for John I’d never see any of it.

[@ivydickson7596]

Lovely story, thanks for sharing.

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

@@ivydickson7596 there was an addition to the story of that day. My youngest son was 3 at the time and my mother was hanging on tightly to his hand. But while dealing with a sneeze she briefly let go and in those few seconds my son disappeared. We knew he couldn’t have found his way out of the royal crypt alone and a search party was quickly gathered. It didn’t take long before someone tapped me on my shoulder and pointed at a tomb which had 3 carved kneeling mourners on one side and 4 on the other. Only now there were 4 on both sides - one wearing more colourful and modern clothing than the others. He’s in his 50s now and still as daft as a brush as we say in Yorkshire.

He was watching you during his conversation and at the end I thought he took a half step towards you as if he was going to say something.

I can reiterate what the old gentleman said ref time apart in a marriage. My ex ( late ) husband was in the Armoured side of the Royal Horse Artillery. When we resided in Germany we had 7 yrs of him going away regularly from anything upto 6 months at a time on routine exercises. When we returned to the UK he was around 24/7 except for the odd 24 hour duty. Many a time or day the words were " wish you would bugger off on exercise and give me a break " were uttered. Many marriages broke up because of it.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Thing with temperature is that it always feels hotter in a city, with all the reflective surfaces, and tarmac that absorbs heat and then re releases it, plus all the buildings that block breezes. London too is a humid place, situated as it is on a tidal river, and humid heat is much more uncomfortable. Then add in the sheer number of people, which really does make a difference and it’s gonna “feel” hotter than perhaps the temperature might suggest. All that without taking into consideration that people aren’t used to heat there. Personally I just think it’s nuts creating a little “perfect” illusion……because it’s OBVIOUS it’s not real and I hate that they parade it in front of young people who think that “fake” is the way to go…..look at all those perfectly normal looking girls(even very young ones) at HorseGuards who smile perfectly normally right up till a camera is pointed their way, and THEN out come the fish lips and painfully contorted poses, just like an “influencer” because they think it looks GOOD and not silly and more than a little bit sad that they want to look like a contorted dead fish with too much makeup!!🤡🐟 Lol we shall agree to differ on the horses John😂’tis no biggie after all. Speaking of horses, does Whitehall have a front coronet or is it just the light? Ohhh that bay police horse was stunning!!! As ofc was pretty Ava 😁

She is the one who wears the black ear covers. Can anyone tell me why?

[@valerienorton4371]

The Ear covers are worn to help keep a horse consentrated from loud noises and intrusive insects, flies, wasps, bees, esp horse flies whilst on duty. The horse may be new to walking the streets and any sudden noise such as car horns will make it jump, some horses are more sensitive than others. So for the safety of the horse,rider and public it is best to wear the ear covers. These horses are trained to a very high level but nothing is like hitting the streets of London with all the different noises going on.. Hope this helps 😊

@50.30 You're right. The Eagle symbol comes from Napoleon's army. The 1st The Royal Dragoons captured the eagle of the 105th Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne and the Royal Scots Greys captured another eagle from the 45th Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne, at Waterloo. It was a custom to celebrate the capture of French eagles by adding it as a symbol to a regiment's uniform or colour. But I guess many French tourists/people wouldn't know that - you need to be literate in Napoleonic history and all. Good point, Sir. I can see someone's got the right stuff!

Getting the perfect photo is understandable, but these guards are at work, they have a duty and their work takes precedence over the perfect selfie. The guards need to be allowed to do their work without being impeded or disrespected.. Great video as ever. Love watching from Portugal. 🇬🇧🇵🇹

What is wrong with some of these people they like a deer in headlights just a foot and a half away from a g a u r d walking right at them he's of an official function and they just stand there and look at him but he's going to walk around them

Regarding red telephone boxes. We've only ever had cream ones in Hull due to having our own phone company Kingston Communications since 1904. They're exactly the same as the red ones but painted cream. I have a full working one just a bit further up my Avenue. Great video John. 😊

London is just one gigantically long queue.

John you are so funny with a wicked sense of humour which makes the video’s even better to watch, some people amaze me how stupid, rude and insensitive to the guards and horses they can be

[@trishstikkelman7129]

John, the child maybe sick leukemia or other illness. What a beautiful day you have. Ty for your service 💂 🐎 ✨️ 💖 🤗

[@heatherhillman9605]

John you had me laughing through this great video. You are quite cheeky!! You know, I am from America and when I heard you say you weren’t into social media I was so happy. I, myself, at 51 have never had a cell phone, ever and social media accounts. I cannot get into it. KZbin is my favorite place to go. Thnks for all the time you put into each video😊😊

Thank you John, really enjoy watching and listening to your commentary. 😊

As far as I can tell. The Horses and Guards are no longer a dignified service to His Majesty. They serve as prestigious guardsman, but "photo ops" to be made fun of by a significant number of tourists and punks. I suggest they've outlived their purpose. I'd shut the gates to the general public, start a tour system reservation program and never allow the others in again.

Just as well you don't know what you are talking about, we might be upset and insulted!!!

[@davidlauder-qi5zv]

It seems you don't know what you are talking about. These are not civilians in fancy dress. They are real professional soldiers carrying out guard duty, members of the British Army. The building behind them is in fact an official Army barracks called "Horse Guards". The uniforms they are wearing are ceremonial. When they are not on a tour of guard duty at Horse Guards, or at one of the Royal palaces in London, along with their colleagues in the other Guards Regiments (The Scots Guards, the Welsh Guards, The Irish Guards, the Coldstream Guards) - foot soldiers whose ceremonial uniforms are the famous red tunics, black trousers and bearskin hats, they wear normal army fatigues and are based at army barracks around the UK. They are also posted overseas like their other military colleagues. Guards soldiers served in Iraq and Afghanistan on active duty. Many were killed or injured. Have more respect for these active soldiers some of whom have faced death on the battlefield.
