Hi John…. Just a random piece of trivia….I caught a glimpse of the Blues and Royals in an old episode of “Friends” last night. It’s in the montage of when they arrive in London for Ross’s wedding. It’s funny that I’ve seen that episode so many times, and this is the first time I noticed, or realized. 😊

How wonderful to see that lady bow and show deep respect. I have to say, when I visited Horseguards, I felt extremely awkward just standing in front of the guard (gatesman?), looking at him and taking a photo, Now I know what to do on my next visit!

Hi John, I understand that the trooper who won the Elizabeth Cup this year, has become a Lance Corporal. This is wonderful news and not surprising considering what a fine trooper he’s been! My question is where is the mount ( the marvelous “Monty”) he won the Elizabeth Cup with? Is Monty retired or doing other duties? I ask because Monty is one of my absolute favorites. 😊

Bowing is a common way for Japanese people to show respect to others. Unfortunately, the younger generation doesn't bow as much as they used to. She is a wonderful person. I want to remember to show respect and gratitude to the right people too.

Boxmen are the two mounted Troopers at the front , gatesman is the post next to the Guards Shop he/she comes to the front gates to check on the boxmen and may also go to the tunnel overlooking the Parade ground as well , chitsman stands guard next to the stables and doesn't leave the post . To his right is a door leading underground to what used to be a cockfighting pit so originally he was " chicksman . They are Troopers equivalent to Private , Corporal of Horse is an NCO equivalent to Sergeant in other regiments . The Household Cavalry have their own rankings . There are 10 Troopers and 2 NCO's on duty usually . You can look up The Household Cavalry for more information .

Just to remind You why the MOD , Ministry of Defence police are there , for security antiterrorism and public safety on a military property ! Crowd control at change over times which is for public safety ! What makes you think they aren't keeping an eye on everything and everyone , there are cameras all over the property with observers watching them constantly and passing information on to the MOD officers ! Horse Guards is a military property which is why they are fully armed , not to protect the soldiers but the area and the general public !
