G’day, John. Can not help but notice how many people are recording here, including gent @ 13:50, and publishing to KZbin. I’ve scanned many of them but always come back here for in-depth coverage. No one has the dialogue of events that London City Walks does. That is why I always come back here. I loved seeing the dog there @ 25:47, almost looks like a Kuvaz. Thank you, John; take care.

[@maryholder3795]

I was watching a video of the Kings Troop on holiday from 2 years ago. I've been spoiled by you John silence at first then thankfully the officer started to talk about what was happening. I so much prefer to hear your comments. You pick up things I'd miss otherwise. Thanks.

[@bettyalexkollias8058]

Morning John. The horse you pointed out as Ormonde 17:22 is actually a mare, Quintessence. She has a similar blaze to Ormonde. Ormonde was actually behind her, second last horse. Could almost see the name of the new horse on the 'connecting strap' under the jaw, perhaps you could zoom in on that?

[@MidniteWildRose]

@@Ronin4614 I am only subscribed to John, Buska, and little Frank ,he's such a darling, others mislead you with the title, John makes it interesting , natural tour guide.

[@circemuller1933]

Danke für die tollen Video.....

[@dbn52]

Lady Police Officer is wonderful to the horses. Excellent at keeping tourists in line . Interesting video.

[@maryholder3795]

That grey is a stunner and the trumpeter was magnificent with his solo. I thought the Lifeguards departure was fun the horses were eager to go home barracks haynets and horses teatime - let's go woo hoo!¡!¡!😊 17:09 then the blues arrive so stately and Ormonde looking very restrained and stately.

[@sylviekins]

I know! That was all very wonderful!❤❤❤

[@martintabony611]

Life Guards

[@circemuller1933]

we love Ormonde

[@user-jg3jo5ry9y]

Yes he a beautiful horse

[@glenysharley4150]

The trumpeter was brilliant. Best I’ve heard

[@lynnedore557]

Hey John i noticed our great woman police officer gave you a Beautiful grin.🎉❤

[@cebah1]

So nice to hear tourists say thank you to the trouper after taking their photos

[@jackiejackie436]

The nameless horse is gorgeous 😍and the policewoman is amazing 🤗

[@michaelking3629]

I really enjoy and appreciate John’s high quality footage and great commentary. 👍🤗

[@barbaragholston8929]

You are my favorite, and Buska is second. Watching from America

[@tarascionunzio]

Cosa legga l'America e la GB,,,,,,,,,,le guerre nel mondo.

[@vmcougarintn5035]

John, the gentleman with the daggers is a body guard; he carries them at all times. Geeze, you tax my brain with historical info John. I'm getting old now and my PhD in History is finally useful! LOL At nearly 80 I have a wealth of knowledge tucked away, but I rarely have had cause or need to use it. LOL That Grey of the Life Guard was gorgeous! And you are correct the trumpeter did nail it! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

[@sylviekins]

Good to keep those grey cells at work!

[@ClaudiaThomas-c7d]

I may not have a PhD I'm only a Mom, however my son's call me instead of Googling for info! 😂😂

[@christamuzik5769]

😮

[@Klapback]

You could share your wealth of information w me 😂 I’m still trying to understand why they wear red uniforms or black uniforms and how it’s decided which they wear or if it’s a totally different branch/ level of the guard?? Hats over helmets ect, as an American it’s totally different from what I know about our military here. The black uniforms seem more formal but I’m not sure

[@ElizabethSands-bs9jd]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please could you help me with a question? What is the purpose of the long tassel on the trumpeters martingale? 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@joyceharland]

lol, lifeguard horses saying we’re out here had enough of pesky tourists 🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@maryholder3795]

Home at Hyde Park barracks, teatime 😊

[@sued616]

Don,t blame them

[@Rose-jz6ix]

​@@sued616 you did read pesky tourists? That doesn't mean all tourists, because many are respectful. The pesky, disrespectful tourists are not really welcome 🤗. If you watch you will see many polite, interested tourists enjoying their visit. 🇦🇺😊💖

[@marylouisesholly3394]

As a third generation American, my English heritage stood up and applauded when the magnificent Guards and their beautiful horses came out of the barracks just now - I felt such pride - wish I could be in London tonight! Thank you John!

[@tarascionunzio]

Vergognarsi no vero?popolo americano e Inglese sono i popolo che portano ed anno portato guerre e morte in ogni parte del mondo.ps farsi delle foto con un cavallo,pensa un po' che gente.ps nel mondo la gente muore di fame e guerre ma i turisti si fanno le foto.povero mondo

[@ClaudiaThomas-c7d]

Hi John, I just have to say, I have tried to watch other channels and have exited very quickly as they never say anything! I then find you as I enjoy your comments. Keep up the fabulous work.🥰🇺🇸

[@peggybegin8241]

Loved this afternoon. The change over, the grays and trumpeters, and the dismount in the yard...Magnificent! Thanks, John.❤😊

[@elemolyneux8198]

I think a lot of us are missing end of day from John, this was an extra special one and great to see. Thanks as always

[@penelopewaters4496]

Thank you, John, For another amazing I love the new blues gates women. I love how that policewoman was amazing outside the gates talking talking to the guard and also how she engages with the horsee.

[@jaynesmalley9718]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you John, I have learned so much from you. What a super smiley Guard that one was, who wouldn't give up the name of that magnificent horse. And that Lady Police woman ( Can I still say that? ) how lovely is she?

[@heatherharvey3129]

Woo hoo..... Ormonde in the house! 😉

[@virginia7612]

So happy Ormonde is here again.

[@sylviekins]

I know! The icing on the cake!❤

[@margaretha1967]

I love ormonde because he keeps ignorant tourists under control.

[@joclovelady]

I love Ormonde. He is old enough to have no filter. Ormonde: You! Get away from me! DONK. And you..he told you to move over! CHOMP Hehehe. Oooh! Look at that. A water bottle. I'm thirsty. I'll take that. Thank you. Ow!! You just poked me in the eye you daft cow. For that you get wally whop with my head. THUNK.😂😂

[@michellegardenier2174]

Loved all 3 videos especially the walk to Buckingham Palace such a nice treat

[@Lala-yl1us]

I love this female police officer. She cares for both the horses and the soldiers. 45:28When another young male police officer puts the chain on, she walks behind the soldier. That alone makes me feel like she cares for the soldiers. John, it was a great video as always. Thank you! From Japan 🇯🇵

[@joyceroberts3886]

Have to admire that lady MOD officer. You can tell, she loves the horses/guards and isn't afraid to let tourists know it. Maybe the new horse's name will be revealed on the day of the King's birthday celebration. If gelding perhaps "Charles"

[@AnnetteCarolanFourie]

I really like the Horse Guards they are so stunning the Blues and Royals so smart and Horses are stunning beauties

[@fionagreenwood3231]

Thank you very very much lovely video as always. Glad King Ormonde back xxxxxx

[@kcB-m3u]

Hi John, I'm very glad that you got to film a long guard after so much time. It's nice to see these things, i so the grey, MAGNIFICENT ❤

[@maryholder3795]

40:16 Blue & Royals are back looking as magnificent as usual with their own fabulous looking grey and trumpeter. Everything back to normal despite late changeover due to rehearsals.

[@annmarritt4337]

That lady police officer is great , love it when she interacts with the horses as well .

[@cassandra5875]

Love the Blues and Royals 😊

[@lesleycooke6226]

Fantastic John great to see the long Gaurd miss this so much. Beautiful horse's. Thank you John Stay Safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@madeleinegombert661]

I agree with you 100%.

[@yuckfoo9638]

Very good John, long day.....The gentleman who brought the knife is as responsible as whomever my take it from him, and use it. Thanks for allowing us to join you on your journey at Kings Guard.

[@paulinemegson8519]

Ahhhhh Long Guards NEVER get old. Also really nice to get end of day cos, yes it’s been a while. 😂looks like a couple of the LifeGuard mounts are into the idea of cantering back to Hyde Park🤣. Oh what a stunning picture with the trumpeter riding into the tunnel…….just gorgeous, and nice work on the call. And the Blues always look so sharp!! Love the confuzzlement out the front 🤣 it must get hard trying to keep up with all the changes at this time of the year cos they seem to change on the hop😂 Poor lad on the end of the lineup for the dismount😂. His Mount had obviously decided that it was late enough for him and it was time to get into the stables, like RIGHT NOW!! Love, love, love that female officer…..firm, kindly but takes no crap! And the daggers aren’t “ceremonial”, theyre religious.They’re blunt for normal wear anyway…..and wasn’t that a stunning blue colour??

[@charlesharrer4297]

Absolutely a beautiful Tradition. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@SusanHMcIntyre]

The unknown horse should be named “Mystery” ! 😂

[@LazyRetiredGranny0718]

So enjoyed part 3...what an education we are getting ! thank you!

[@bettiegoober7853]

It’s amazing that the colossal poundage of these horses can stand on dinner plate sized hoofs and such tiny ankles!!!!

[@jayjohnson8426]

You should see the drum horses feet they are as big as dinner plates

[@elainebrooksbank5281]

Ceremonial or not carrying a bladed article is illegal. The King’s guards can’t wander around with their swords when not on duty. But a kirpan- which I think the Sikh gentleman was wearing - is usually blunted for ceremonial dress purposes only. Either way, because of it’s religious significance, carrying it is not illegal - taking it out of its sheath in public, if not blunted, could pose a problem. Brilliant long guard and exceptional trumpeters. It did look like the horses that were leaving seemed more enthusiastic than the ones arriving. Perhaps they’re anticipating their nice, cushy stables well, away from pesky tourists.

[@Barry_P]

Thanks for capturing this for us. I circled back from the Palace in the morning, found HG still closed and called it a day. 4 o'clock was back home, feet up, cuppa cha. Suspect this will also have to suffice for Wed and Fri, since there are more rehearsals scheduled for both days.

[@pippin1ful]

A Sikh used to come into my shop in Peckham regularly wearing his dagger. I can't remember its name, but he said the Police had no problem with it. I wouldn't recommend anyone trying to take it off him.

[@msfrred1st]

The kirpan is permitted if the person in possession of it can prove they carry it for religious reasons. If wearing Scottish traditional dress a sgian Dhu is also permitted.

[@pippin1ful]

@@msfrred1st Kirpan, yes I remember now. He explained the religious significance at the time. He became a regular customer. Other Sikhs used to service my car. I was doing a 600mile weekly commute. They did a great job.

[@mariahoulihan9483]

i know it was a protected religious item.

[@B.Hollis]

Proud of my fellow Georgians acknowledging the lady trooper.

[@diamend]

Wow! Long Guard's horse looks like satin. Does he not? Stupendous!

[@alisonscurr4395]

The dust being kicked up by the trumpeters horse and the haze from the sunshine made the image look like a ghostly mirage from the past. I saw your video the other day of you walk to Buckingham Palace. I too was surprised they haven't got the gate repaired yet though from the ladder peeking out over the top of the boarding, it looks like someone is working on it. There probably isn't the craftsmen now days to be able to do the job quickly and they can't work on it while troops are in the area. I also agree with you to give that area a miss. It was a chaotic nightmare. The walk through St James's Park was really nice though. Thank you.

[@chriswhalen1397]

Those Life Guard horses are in a hurry to get back to the barracks for their tea 😀

[@Klapback]

The horses coming out at a semi fast trot was the most excitement I’ve seen in this video, it was nice not seeing them just stand like photo props for tourists

[@josephinewills8647]

John , Your The Best ,Just Loving Your Updates and Videos, 👌👍👏👏👏 Love 🥰 From Cork Ireland 🇮🇪👌👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@joannamccord-io1ho]

Horses happy to get out into fresh air and exercise

[@MarlynMeehan]

No excuse for tourists getting too close to the guard just because the chain wasn't in place. It is about respecting someone's personal space.

[@DariaAmato-wz2xg]

The guard shop should sell a t-shirt with an outline of a guard that says: embrace the shout

[@ClaudiaThomas-c7d]

😂😂😂

[@marypatroy9742]

I'd buy it 😂

[@mariahoulihan9483]

and another design.. DO NOT DISRESPECT THE GUARDS. plus GET BEHIND THE LINE.

[@maryschleifer7082]

Keep Calm and Shout Loudly. Or "GET BACK!!."

[@ElleTee-gm5ed]

Thanks so much for the upload this one is definitely one for the archives, appreciate Ur content and humour and the educational value to anyone is fabulous,cheers John from New Zealand

[@brendabledsoe6694]

Very interesting, I do enjoy seeing the Long Guard, thank you so very much for doing a part three, I enjoyed all three.

[@sued616]

Lifeguard horses very happy to leave lol.love watching long guard etc thankyou john great video as usual

[@alisonhutchings4690]

How frisky were those horses getting away? Good morning John 😊 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙💜🩵🐎🐎🐎

[@pearlito8600]

Possibly they are not making the horses names available for the same reason the human troopers aren't called by name

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Wel done and thank YOU for sharing your time .Take care and all the best. 😊😊😊😊😄😄😄😄👍👍👍

[@kathchandler4919]

What a wonderfully, eventful day, started in a subway looking out at the Thames , ended with a fabulous change over & the sight of a colourful gent in full Sikh ceremonial garb , wow 🎉

[@LeslyeMcCulloch]

It’s amazing watching the eyes of the police “people “ constantly scanning the crowds for trouble. So reassuring.

[@polytaz]

Hi John, I know you work a day or two behind. But maybe remember Lee Rigby on this day. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@heatherharvey3129]

Hard to believe it's already 11 years since his murder.

[@trishstikkelman7129]

What a beautiful day you have John.

[@joclovelady]

I have to say that a lot of what I see on your channel, are things that I wouldn't have seen in my lifetime otherwise. Thank you so much for an informative channel with your sense of humour.😊

[@heatherharvey3129]

The dagger is called a kirpan and is recognised as being part of their religious regalia and the blade is usually blunted as it isn't meant to be a weapon used aggressively.

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Kirpan? No just can't remember that name - it's in storage up there, but doesn't retrieve.

[@emmsue1053]

I believe the knives originally were for protection of the weaker ones like children, women and elderly. Lovely religion. As heather stated they are now Ceremonial.

[@abbosame9368]

Enjoyed your interaction with the 2 ladies noticed the one said thank you to the gaurd

[@nataliemoulding234]

love your commentary is sometimes absolutely hilarious 😂 😂also very informative too was the chain not up oh dear

[@MSINGRIDBOBO]

Awesome work John love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LeslyeMcCulloch]

John, if you ever come to America, I can assure you Southerners are the friendliest people. 😊😊😊😊

[@Pagan6979-be6ct]

Morena John, very much loved this Long Guard in it's entirety (and watched pt1 and 2 with lots of pauses, busy days) Rather strange to see the changeover happening in late afternoon. As the Blues and Royals rode in through the tunnel it was like a flashback to when Peter rode in and he looked directly into your camera. After the dismount the guard at left had a struggle to hold his mount in place. Waited for the Boxman to reveal the name of The Horse With No Name 🎶but even the law couldn't coax it out of him. Thank you John for the wonderful contents and commentaries...May 20 that sure was a long eventful day. Take care. kiwi 😃

[@marywilliams341]

They need to paint the other first white line another color. So when they say behind the white line there is not doubt what they mean

[@murielbuxton6993]

Maybe paint 'this a bollard' out front 😅

[@maryschleifer7082]

Red. Or Yellow. Either wat, they could use a touch up.

[@HelenMonday-ku1pb]

How odd that the lifeguard couldn't tell you the name of the horse, he always smiles and seems super friendly so very strange. Must be a good reason

[@LondonCityWalks]

Orders from above I would wager. Still curious though ...

[@paulinemegson8519]

Or he may not know himself🤷who knows

[@karenfein4774]

John, the real challenge is learning their stable names.🤫

[@jackie6582]

Wow beautiful white horse❤

[@sherrimagness9040]

Why don't any of these tourists do there research before they visit....and bring some respect and manners, if they possesses and at all... i guess its all about themselves and what they think they are INTITLED TO OH PLEASE i feel for the soldiers and police, the horses as well

[@julieduree9210]

All tourists? You have talk to every tourist? Pretty impressive.

[@WandaRodgers-nj8uw]

I’m so glad there were no horse guards in the boxes when those very loud cycles roared by. That could have been a disaster.

[@moedube2942]

I hope the guards police force give you consideration for your reports. You are very entertaining and considerate towards the guards. Keep up the great work John! Well done!

[@pamelacurran7170]

Brilliant videos today john thank you.

[@louisemerrick2563]

the lovely walk down the mall yesterday was so enjoyable the scenery absolutely gorgeous --thanks so much.

[@cassandra5875]

Sikhs carry a Kirpin, they are allowed to carry them for Religious , ceremonial sporting or historical reasons . Yes I googled for some of it 😂

[@cassandra5875]

It’s a symbol of high moral character , modesty respect justice and authority, it’s never used for offensive purposes.

[@roseogrady8785]

So good to see...Thank You. .

[@mrsh_2329]

Good variety of things to watch today and lots of beautiful horses as always. I like your vidoes out of all the other ones John as you always give a good commentary.

[@KarenDockery-o3c]

So nice to see them send in The CALVARY. BLESSINGS from Alabama, USA. John, your channell is my favorite. You tell us what is going on.

Good afternoon John, have a good one.

[@dreamsgonebye6151]

Maybe the horse is an undercover horse!! 😂

[@murielbuxton6993]

Bond? James Bond

[@hettiehoevers4048]

That was a very nice 3 out of 3, John! Thank you for that! I was wondering: when is it more crowded on Horseguards, in the morning round 11 o’clock or in the afternoon round 4 pm?

[@LondonCityWalks]

Definitely more crowded in the mornings!

[@hettiehoevers4048]

My thoughts exactly 😅

[@jmalone6612]

He's the best trumpeter I've heard

[@LindaFellin]

Hi John. Linda from Florida. Another magnificent video. Thank you!

[@dianejohnson2419]

That trumpeter was fantastic as were the blues and royals. Of course the horses and your commentary made the whole thing great for this oĺd Yankee woman.

[@tomrosselli5902]

Always happy to see your videos.. good entertainment, thanks john

[@PatriciaMegna]

Love your channel so much,thanks for showing and explaining everything.❤

[@susanedwards-d2z]

The horses name will be announced on the day of trouping the colour. Mytirst guess Elizabeth if a mare or Charles if male.

[@murielbuxton6993]

Windsor?

[@shaun2647]

as soon as I saw the tall lean copper on duty I knew they were all in good hands. he needs more respect.

[@jenacallahan9091]

John, I’m binge watching your videos, can’t get enough of them, your the best at this out of everyone, I only watch you. Love how you talk and tell us everything ❤ ty and please never stop. I’m from USA and I have so much respect for you and the troopers and police, that one police in tunnel telling people where to stand, he’s my favorite, idk his name, but tell him he has a fan ❤ he doesn’t take crap from anyone either lol I’ve seen him on a lot videos and saw him put handcuffs on one person, that one he grabbed and put against the fence and the lady police woman was there too, he put handcuffs on that person and led them to back, I like the lady police too, she’s amazing too ❤ at 40 minutes on this video the policeman I like is standing right behind horses and in front your camera. ❤❤

[@ickydeerlamb2823]

John are all injured horses and guards back now?

[@kathellison8084]

Vida and Quaker are recovering , Tennyson and Trojan will return to work . Last report from the Army said 1 Trooper still in hospital no more news as yet .

[@LeslyeMcCulloch]

We’ll just have to name new horse John Jr. in your honor!! 😅😅😅😅😅

[@Starlight1710]

Maybe they don't want random people starting to shout out horse names in hope of getting their attention?

[@garfield2439]

Gorgeous dog!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@martintabony611]

We used to be out from 06.00 til 22.00 when the gates were locked. Boxes were 10.00 til 16.00

[@Klapback]

I don’t understand why police & soldiers aren’t stationed at locations tourist aren’t supposed to go or by guards so they don’t get harassed?? Why exactly are they there if not for that purpose??
