Police Block FAKE Guard.. But Kind BOSS Makes His Day 🙏

[@MariTeabag-lf1ly]

Aw bless him. Left handed salute so he doesn’t knock himself out with those badges on his right arm. He loves Britain & the guards. x

[@mgr001]

well spotted. nice guards, too. lovely police officers. gosh, the lot of you are really nice. i still love Australia, though.

[@derekgoulding6040]

We are the dreamers of dreams , compassion and acceptance make the world a great place .!

[@grahambeadle]

He loves his country, that's the main thing !

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Those officers could have at least returned the salute, the man made the effort, so should they have. It would have cost them nothing to do so, and the old fellas heart would have pumped to bursting with pride, probably for the rest of the week.

[@thomas1112002]

Totally agree

[@Wellywellwell174]

Bless him , shows he cares and respects them.

[@rampant54]

He's there every year for at least 15 years that I know of. He even has a special location to watch the Lord Mayor's Show on the Saturday and then he's there for the Remembrance Sunday. I have taken part in the Lord Mayors Show for at least 25 years in the procession and in my later years as a Marshall. I would see him every year on the side on a little platform saluting all the military serials. Yes, a left handed salute as well. Even on the Marshall's Breakfast/Briefing, the Police would mention him by name. He's there every year without fail. I have said good morning a few times going past him on Remembrance Sunday whilst in uniform, it makes his day. He takes it quite seriously. He's probably mad as box of frogs, but a harmless figure.

[@IanM18]

He is well known to the Police. His name is William Wallace and he's quite harmless.

empathy and kindness doesn't cost anything, well not allways

[@sharonjojo]

Bless him 💖👍🏻💂🏻

[@bernardmcmahon351]

Harmless guy doing his thing ,

[@neilba1]

They could've saluted back....

[@jnairac]

No. He is not in Armed Forces or uniform. You dont salute civvies. Ya nana

[@neilba1]

@@jnairac Protocol didn't require them to ignore him....

[@susan_707]

@@neilba1 They didn't ignore him, they spoke to him.

[@donaldmackay8439]

Perhaps he was someone who 'wanted to be' many years ago, but couldn't. I'd have a lot of time for a gentleman like him. In his own 'uniform' and giving a left hand salute, but does it really matter? Respect comes in many forms.

[@niviamalago389]

I loved this video!!! 😂💖 Brilliant!!! 🩷✨ So funny!! 💖 The best!! 💖✨

[@TheByard]

He has to do something there's no coal at home, better he does that and bring us some cheer. Good on yer mate and I'm sure my father would have given him a wink or nod, dad was a Welsh Guardsman 1938 through WWII to 1944. He wore green more than Bearskin and Red tunic.

[@Chris17198]

Hats off to the officers acknowledging him … not sure why the police had an issue with him …he looked pretty harmless to me … bless the old boy 🫡

[@davidhall7811]

I didnt see the police have an issue with him, it looked like the barrier had lifted a bit and they were sorting it out.

[@Chris17198]

@@davidhall7811 that’s what I was trying to say … if it was someone else they wouldn’t have felt to adjust the fence … but because it was a slightly eccentric man they adjust the barrier to stop him moving on the road …

[@clyde2598]

They didn’t. One of the barriers needed fixing and as the agency with primary responsibility for security it was their responsibility to fix it.

[@dlxmarks]

At the beginning of the video, the barrier there was popped out of alignment. He helped the officers fix it, they smiled and moved on, and he stayed in place. Otherwise if they meant to intimidate him, that would be the most ineffective passive aggressive policing I've ever seen.

[@daveabbott]

I wonder when the Lt.Col. last passed a fitness test?

[@lizwilson5814]

Quite.!!!!

[@marioman8277]

Man of men, salute ! They could have at least saluted him back because he probably fought in ww2 !

[@wuzzlebottom]

When you are 103 and have nothing else to do. 😅

[@Urko2005]

Makes a change than some in their teens who just parade with Palestinian flags and have nothing else to do.

[@wuzzlebottom]

@Urko2005 Yes.

[@Felix-rising]

We used to have a country full of characters like this.

[@johnsabini2330]

He is there every Remembrance Day parade, he has more than one outfit , one year he was in all white.

[@rampant54]

I remember that Uniform, he has also worn it, lining the route of the Lord mayor's show. One year he even had a little homemade review box just behind the barrier.

[@vinycrimbo8692]

So does King Charles!!

Same standing as most royals but at least they get a salute🤣

[@FleetAdmiral215]

It's his Cosplay costume

[@pologaming8613]

No, he is an old kings guard for George VI and early Elizabeth II

[@richardstone5813]

The ghost of Charles Hawtry?

I would definitely have looked like the Royal Guard from the Mr Bean episode Goodnight Mr Bean.💂🏻‍♂
