Rude Gesture Toward the King's Guard Cause a Reaction from the Police at Horse Guards in London

[@Londonchronicles]

Timestamps: 3:16 Stubborn tourist was stopped by the armed police officer due to a rude gesture toward the majestic King's Guard. Please show respect to the King's Guard when visiting the Horse Guards; they are real British soldiers, not Disneyland soldiers. 7:39 Armed police officer tell tourists to give some space to the Gatesman. 11:25 Tourist ran away from the horse, saying, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" Check what she's going to do to the other horseman. 16:12 She touched the King's Guard's boot, which is not allowed. Tourists are not allowed to touch the King's Guards or their horse. People told her to pay attention to the signs. 17:17 "Our favourite" CoH tells tourists to stand behind the bollards as the famous Changing of the Guards Ceremony at 2 O'clock is about to begin. 27:50 The soldier helps the horseman. Date filmed: Today, 26 August 2024. INFO: The King’s Life Guard The King’s Life Guard is conducted by soldiers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. Horse Guards is named after the troops who have mounted The King’s Life Guard here since the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660. The ceremony has remained mostly unchanged for over 350 years. Changing of The King's Life Guard The ceremony of changing of the King’s Life Guard starts at 11am with the Old Guard formed up on Horse Guards Parade. As the New Guard arrives, a trumpeter sounds a royal salute and the officer salutes. The New Guard forms up facing the old one. Once both lines are still, the corporal major, senior non-commissioned officer and sentries of the New Guard (the first relief) rein back their horses and leave for the guard room to take over their duties, which lasts for 48 hours. The sentries from the Old Guard return to the parade ground and the entire Old Guard returns back to barracks. When the monarch is in London, there is a ‘long guard’ consisting of an officer, corporal major (who carries the regimental standard), two non commissioned officers, a trumpeter and 10 troopers. When the monarch is away, the guard is reduced to two non-commissioned officers and 10 troopers known as a ‘short guard’. Whatever the season or weather, members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment ride down from Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge to take over guard duties. TIMINGS OF DUTIES The Guard Change currently takes place on: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11am. The two iconic soldiers on horses that mount duty on Whitehall at the entrance of Horse Guards change on the hour every hour from 10am until 4pm. This ensures that, regardless of the time you choose to visit the museum, you are guaranteed a captivating spectacle of ceremonial duties in progress. The King’s Life Guard is the name given to the guard duty performed by The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Horse Guards. It dates from 1660 when The Life Guards mounted a permanent guard at the entrance to Whitehall Palace. Responsibility for mounting the guard alternates between The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals. An inspection at Hyde Park Barracks decides which ‘relief’ a soldier will do: the smartest will carry out his duty on his horse and the least well turned out will do longer duties on foot. The guard then rides to Horse Guards via Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill and The Mall. - Information above is according to householdcavalry.co.uk/museum/blog/the-kings-life-guard/ Click the link if you would like to know more about WHO THEY ARE.

Absolutely adorn this Corporal of Horses. He always looks so dapper. In his uniform. Haven't seen him for awhile. My hope is that someday. Horse Guards will not allow. Tourists stand on the sides of the Guard Boxes. All behind the bullocks. Permanently all day. No exceptions allowed. Too much congestion around the Royal Guard/Guard Horse.❤️💂‍♀️

[@Phlowermom]

Thank you so much for your entire comment! That was a great help in figuring out how and why the algorithm has brought me here!!

[@larnakeane8940]

Please be kind. These Military men, women and horses may one day fight on your behalf!!

[@brendabirkenbach8533]

I'm so glad i can see the lifeguards and horses from my home! And i don't have to deal with these tourists!

[@quidam53]

Wow, the policemen are even working on disciplining the tourists. Good job!😊❤

[@FrithGarcia]

Perfectly, professionally and fairly handled, Corporal and Police Officer. Cannot understand why some tourists find it difficult to be polite and respectful.

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

She was chewing her gum like a cow

[@luannecorlett4683]

cows have better manners and intelligence

[@Wulfyr]

Like watching a towel in a washing machine.

[@margaretshanahan9754]

Pointing and gesturing at Troopers is so ridiculous. They would be the focus of any photo, you don't need to point them out!! So glad the policeman called her out - pointing is rude in any language.

[@Wulfyr]

As if anyone viewing the photograph is going to miss the 6ft soldier in 17th Century ceremonial uniform standing next to them. They're not exactly inconspicuous.

[@seanosborne3343]

"If somebody there chanced to be Who loved me in a manner true, My heart would point him out to me, And I would point him out to you. But here it says of those who point, Their manners must be out of joint - You may not point - You must not point - It's manners out of joint, to point!"

[@quidam53]

I’m from the States, and I love the English Guards. I’m happy to see that they now are making some effort to protect and demand the respect of the tourists. It’s so important. They deserve it. In the States very clear lines are drawn between the tourists and the military. If they are working and someone assumes entitlement or invades their space, you will be hauled away unceremonious to jail or out into the streets if not by them then by the police.

[@lisapatchen1263]

Didn’t your mother ever tell you it’s rude to point !

[@johnbutler-gm8pv]

I've added a new hero to my viewing pantheon. I call him the Hatless Officer 💙

[@pamperez9981]

Why stand so close to the horse

[@celestephelps5897]

The timestamps were very helpful! Thank You for including those!

[@cindyling-m4w]

horse guards are trying but tourists feel entitled to break the rules. This "I'm sorry" BS has got to stop, both guards and horses have had enough and tourists must be far away from them. if caught tourist is either banned from site or fined on the spot. So people if you are enraged as I am do what I did, google searched and emailed the Household Cavalry, MOD, London District and British Forces News voicing your concern for the disrespect the guards and horses endure on a daily basis. This is not an amusement park/petting zoo for tourists to abuse. Be proactive stop this disrespect.

[@d.Arbelles]

Why point? It is rude gesture to point at ANY person. Should start issuing citations for worse offenders so appears on their ID record. I guess those two hovering near Gatesman & Guard enjoy the same treatment at their work place....if they even have a job. 🤓

[@cashew515]

I mean it’s disrespectful, to point but it sounds like you would like ,the tourists to enter the Tower of London! Blimey!

[@dercarsus]

I shouldn’t think they mean that but she was way out of order . Especially the sneaky way she still pointed after the policeman had gone. These soldiers deserve the highest respect not sheer ignorance.

[@cherylsheff7105]

If you notice she did it again once the officer was not watching. She did it under her arm. Rude tourists are the worst.

[@kuuipobaby1]

I saw that too!!

[@saffanna725]

Those women - just do what they like nowadays. NO respect.

[@zhijiaqiu812]

Seems like she need more education. Did you say "Thank you"?

[@annbeirne9583]

Why are some people so childish?

[@janetpharris861]

Why treat the guards as props why not treat them with respect and ask if they can take a picture?

[@pegasus4634]

Any gesture has to be construed as a gesture towards our King and once upon a time she would have ended up in the tower.

[@JaneTrendell]

Please show respect to the gaurds whom gaurd are royal family and have defended our country

[@hs964]

So good that there is a "no touch the horse" sign now. Although I see people are still ignoring it unfortunately

[@debstewart4558]

Well the new signs seen to be working. The horses seen calmer , Trooper more relaxed and aware what's happening around them. I think it will get better with time. Yeah Horse Guards.🎉

[@joanveaseyfoxythediva]

Unbelievable, she pointed anyway

[@teresathompson1114]

Thankyou all guards need protection and respect

[@eileensmith1196]

Weldone that police officer not seen before moved people away from guards talking so rude standing close when soldiers on duty

[@leomcgee9873]

guess I've been under a rock somewhere I didn't realize people had gotten so rude/disrespectful.

[@FrithGarcia]

Absolutely wonderful information. Thank you. Looked up the architects. Discovered the Regiment of Cuirassiers. Their uniforms have not changed over three centuries. Reins, left, sword or lance right hand. Amazing.❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paulineyoung4260]

Ignorance Personified

[@barbarabarton4078]

How disgusting.

[@josephhetherington7318]

Silly woman

[@lynnedelacy2841]

If they had a charity box for people to donate for taking photos they would hopefully make £££!

[@THXx1138]

Something is wrong when the guards need to be guarded.

[@sharronkeller875]

Maybe the guards need to be wired directly to the police so that they can let them know immediately when the tourists are out of line!

[@susansmiles2242]

This is a military building and the police are MoD officers so they also guard the building

[@haitolawrence5986]

@@sharronkeller875 There is a yellow panic button inside the gate house if their assistance is needed.

[@Sylvia-yd2gw]

Was about time that there is a sign up now to not touch the horses - just as well.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

What stupid poses people strike up!

[@MarlynMeehan]

I heard a dog barking in the video. Why do people insist on bringing dogs to this area. Not all animals get along together.

[@jackie6582]

That was one rude ass women that touched him

[@KathGookey-lx1nb]

Enforce the no touching for everyone.

[@RosemaryCogger]

Whoah!! I Q of zero, she's got no respect whatsoever, even after being told by the police officer, she does it again, very rude to point, she needs to ACT HER AGE AND NOT HER SHOE SIZE!!!! 🤨🤨😡🤬

[@sandragrissom1821]

So careless to hold a small child that close to a strange horse. The number of clueless adults continues to amaze me. 😮

[@jackie6582]

Just no manners🤦🏼

[@1961-v9k]

Omg, why would anyone point to a guard for a photo 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Posing in disrespectful. Police should have been there and told that lady in the pink to leave. title is wrong.

[@brendabirkenbach8533]

Tourists are like sheep, need the sheep 🐕 to get them to listen 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@josephcanaday]

They should have a barrier for the horses Gard's.

[@Faretheewell608]

I would not matter. People would crawl under it.

[@mk5158]

よかったですね。 平和が、見えてきましたね。🎉🎉 少しでも💂‍♂️さんとお馬さんが穏やかに、任務をできますように ねがってます。

[@Ronin4614]

While it could have been the hand gesture and pointing with the index finger, I think the police officer was responding to what she asked about chatting with the guard.

[@concepcion2680]

que policia tan genial el queblkeba ka caravraoada un gran profesional

[@noemiluxich9471]

Que increíble, todo un semicírculo de personas mirando un tipo y un caballo que está ahí, paraditos. Que estarán esperando que pase?

[@BrilliantAtTimes]

I’ve seen the lady in pink before. She’s always creating chaos. I thought she’d been banned.

[@donnawachtler7989]

How long do these horses stand out for? 1 hour at a time?

[@mk5158]

お馬さんは、皆大好きですが 今見てるうまさんが一番のお気に入り。前足のポイントが白、 もういっとういるはずですが 性格が、だいすきなんです。

[@pitbullslueth4358]

That big 'do not touch the horse' sign. Bit out of keeping, could have been a better one....

[@susansmiles2242]

The horse in the right hand box at the beginning is Ormonde and is notorious for biting people

[@geliconner9669]

Nope, not Ormonde.

[@lynnedelacy2841]

Does anyone know how the horses that escaped and ran through London are doing?

[@susansmiles2242]

They are back on duty from what I have heard

[@faragraf9380]

why they come so near? why they allowed to fotograph a person? did they asked?

[@teresathompson1114]

That they have to be told ?????

[@MrEric2cu]

Why do I have to watch 30 minutes of video for a 10 second act?

[@BrilliantAtTimes]

That’s what the time stamps are for…..

[@ChrisAllott]

Why do some of the Police wear masks over their faces ?

[@seafoodlover2010]

Why do the guards yank on the horses reins jerking their heads back!

[@susansmiles2242]

Probably so they don’t bite the tourists

[@PatriciaTennery]

PacSafe stops the pick pockets and hotel room thieves.

[@robertlangley1664]

I have come to the conclusion that some people have never been taught manners especially when they visit other countries

Minuto 3:16, fijaos en la estúpida que señala con el dedo al guardia, decidme si no actúa como una niña pequeña
