Lol John I was waiting for you to notice the difference in the gatesman uniform when he came back out. You were so close when you mentioned the sash on the boxmans curisse, I thought you would notice that gatesman had returned without it. Also that would be the reason the chitsman went in after the gatesman returned to remove his curisse. Thanks for the video.

[@deniseackermann7116]

I was in London in the mid 1980's. While I was there, a tourist tried to start a fight with one of the guards because his girlfriend was flirting with him. As I remember it, the tourist was knocked to the ground, the police surrounded and arrested the tourist and he was taken off... later that afternoon, when we got back to our hotel, I learned the police picked up his luggage and he was sent back to his country.

[@debbie4503]

And so he should have been. If he got mad at anyone, it should have been his girlfriend and saved for a later time.

[@TheArgieH]

Oh deary me ! He probably wanted to appear macho in front of his girl friend (rarely ends well). Trying to pick a fight with real active service soldier on ceremonial duty could only end one way. That's a valuable life lesson, certainly an expensive one, I hope he took note. There are a couple of "gentlemen" who stage pretend fights between guards and provocative tourists. Probably for the purpose of making fake videos. It is usually pretty obvious what is going on. The pretend uniform is so scruffy and slovenly compared with the real thing, quite apart from actually getting bits wrong. Paddington Bear does better IMHO.

[@sandimassey2262]

I agree. Why do the guards allow tourists to touch the horses? I have watched as huge crowds swarm the poor horses. I am not one of the new breed of animal worshippers, but it looks abusive. I do feel , that sometimes, the guards allow for a carnival atmosphere.

[@juliankaye8143]

The problem is the street outside is a public right of way, which the forelegs of the horse are on. The hind legs are on MOD land. But in order to change the guard the horses have to exit on to public land. On which some stupid people stand complaining. It would be sad if they started to limit attendance or charge for it. I can't see how or where the queue would line up. I do love your videos, they are well balanced and very informative.

I heard him say "move back" a couple of times, first time in a faint voice, the second time in a louder voice. Yeah, that was my impression, too, that when the COH told him to follow him inside, was because of what had happened like 1 minute prior, and he was going to be told off. The sequence of events, happening one after the other, indicates that this could have been the case😮. I hope he wasn't reprimanded because there was no reason for that😱

The problem is that many tourists or let's say people in general because even the locals are often quite blinded about this - they all often forget that they are stepping into a small world of tradition and culture and not into a theme park and this leads to more and more problems. Not just locally but all over the world. People often lack respect and unfortunately also cultural understanding, as it is often no longer taught. At least that's what I often see in the museum where I work and it's annoying. It annoys everyone who are involved in such situations.

Possibly either charge a fee for tourists or sadly discontinue such free access... maybe restrict it to go through eoth a guide. Or keep it how it is and find some ppl that just dont get it. Surely some of the guards are perfectly fine moving the public out of the way... get a little rise out of making way for the guard... mist ppl move quickly ajd respectfully, when surprised from behind... this type of response isn't the norm... thankfully...

Well done John, yours is without doubt, the best channel out there, I love the way you speak your mind, which is exactly what we are all thinking, the level of intelligence is absolutely cringe worthy, I don’t believe for a minute that it’s a language barrier, just a matter of no respect! They wouldn’t do this in Korea, or Russia, they’d probably be shot on the spot, and as bad as it is to say it....I could nearly agree with that, they wouldn’t make that mistake twice that’s for sure. Keeep up the good work, informative, respectful, and punchy, love it. 🇬🇧❤️

[@brendaflower7790]

AAH!!!! Go Home!!🤨

[@dannynederland828]

having seen so many video's from the change of horses i have noticed there often is a huge confusion about the second white line. Why don't they paint the second white line red or yellow instead of white ? Having 2 different colours for the lines will avoid a lot of confusion and it also makes it easier for police and soldiers to guide the tourists to the restricted position.

She was at the back of the queue when brains were handed out!

[@sandrafarmer5351]

lol, or sure!

Thankyou John for doing this ❤

[@marypatroy9742]

I love it when you spotlight the magnificent architecture surrounding Horse Guards.

[@kathyturner6177]

A 1200 pound horse will move them and believe me they won’t be laughing.🤣😆

[@imogenharrison3432]

I blame budget airlines for allowing these people to leave their caves and to travel to places they shouldn't be.

[@all2easy1011]

your channel has been very informative for my upcoming trip from America next month! Thanks so much!!

[@mihaelafilipescu5818]

Time to charge this tourists to buy tickets to seen the military guards. The tourist are so antisocial. I can't believe it. The soldiers having hard time duing their job.

[@spunkygmahappy4778]

The gentleman talked to the guard and the guard responded.

[@paulinemegson8519]

As John said they will sometimes respond particularly when it’s quiet, early in the morning but they don’t make a habit of it.

[@dojocho1894]

Sad people are so disrespectful. As a Horseman People dont realize how much work these soldiers have to put in to be good at their job.

[@valoriagreen8376]

Blessed day John, and All😊❤ You keep me smiling, and I thank you for this😊 Warm here in Tn. 73,muggy with a chance of stroms. Sun shine for now 10:41 am here.

[@Addy2023X]

Afternoon John great video as always

[@yui-tg4nm]

I am Japanese, but Japan also has a problem with tourists' manners. At a shrine near my house, Chinese people pee, Westerners break the bell of the shrine, and so on. This has led to more and more restrictions, and the locals are not able to enjoy themselves. Please, tourists should learn the manners of the country they are visiting and have respect for the country. My dream is to visit London someday!❤

[@clairebrookes2923]

Just sitting here with my mouth open. Even if they dont understand if they have to move you would do it out of respect !!!! Thankyou again for 😂 you were certainly on it this morning 😂😂 Love this channel jon

[@janeblack7880]

Those tourists don't understand that the troopers are all real live highly trained professional soldiers. They seem to think they are actors or chocolate soldiers, not trained killers. Only due to their incredible training that they don't loose their tempers.

[@george-ev1dq]

Maybe better to shut the tourist attraction down

[@j94us]

@@george-ev1dq or make the tourists buy tickets with clearly defined terms, conditions & behaviour standards. Some people might then value the time spent close to the King’s Guards.

[@Wulfyr]

Yeah, this location has been opened for reasons of historical and cultural interest. It's time to restrict access again because obviously so many of the people who visit have no idea what they're looking at or what it's for. Restrict the access.

[@FrancesKenny-kq7bo]

Hi John, It was great to meet you when I was over in London on Monday 15th April. Enjoyed talking to you and would have loved to stay longer but was going home that day and had to get to the Airport. Was delighted when you spoke to that women that would not move for the Guard even if they don't know the language you would move out of common courtesy. Still enjoying your channel love your witty comments. Hope to see you next time I'm at horse guards.

[@mandylunn1949]

Do they know that these are working soldiers

[@christinewhitfeld7939]

Probably not. And don't care.

[@TheFinnola]

There's no real need to subject horses and highly trained soldiers to this endless uncomfortable situation. The invention of highly sophisticated security could end this. It might be tradition, and create tourism, but now it's just cruel.😢

[@valoriagreen8376]

Talk about those Beautiful reflections. I took a screen shot, of one, of the horses shadow. I thought, it was Priceless ❤❤❤ I promise, Ive saved it for myself.

[@alisona629]

Fabulous ending, made my heart sing 😊❤

[@ejfox8448]

Hi John, I hope this is allowed. I have been watching your wonderful, amusing videos for some time. Recently I have been going back (on someone else's videos) watching the duelling training and frolics in Norfolk of the troopers and their horses. It has created a very soft spot in a corner of my heart for all here that passed out. Please stay safe and keep up the good work, love you all.

[@ejfox8448]

Predictive text grrr. Should read gruelling not duelling

[@j94us]

@@ejfox8448 duelling seemed rather appropriate to me. Lol. They carry swords after all! 😄

[@virginia7612]

It’s good to see the soldiers help each other,even the trooper horse.

[@petermcnamara9810]

These tourists need to be charged an entry fee! In turn they can be issued a set of advice of what is required while on MOD grounds. Other countries would not permit such liberties!

[@janettesinclair6279]

People seem to have no idea that this is the Guards' place of work. The Guards have to carry out certain duties at certain times, and any visitors should not interfere with the ability of the soldiers to do that. How would they like it if hordes of strangers come into their place of work and got in the way, giggling and taking photos?

[@Tucker68284]

disrespecting our soldiers when will the government take action against these dum people

[@rianorman3526]

Thanks John...great video as always!! xxx

[@LesleyTuffery]

Your channel is super. Thank you.

[@armywidow6004]

John, the minute you said REN, the horse nodded his head as if to say "yes, John".

[@peggybegin8241]

Even though she didn't speak English, she could see a guard walking straight towards her. Dense!!!! Anyway, I enjoyed seeing all the Lifeguards and Blues and Royals and your commentary ❤😊They took off their breastplates or whatever they're called, John.

[@joshuagreenslade3445]

I'm glad you had a go at that ignorant tourist mate

[@pamplant3610]

Good morning John. Woke up this morning to snow on the ground. Was enjoying the spring like weather we got last week. Oh well, it might get warm again by June, 😊.

[@penelopeverstege4475]

That was lovely to see how they all work together for the good of all.

[@CobwebCottage]

Both Gatesman and Chitsman came back without their shiny metal breast plates ... not sure what they're actually called, but I think you'll know what I'm talking about. I noticed it straight away. But then ... I'm a magpie and I love shiny things. (lol) x

[@rosies14]

Its not that they dont understand, they do not understand the ceremonies, or the seriousness of the job, they think they are at Disney and its a photo opportunity and they are there simply for their entertainment.

[@christinewhitfeld7939]

THICK in other words....

[@maryholder3795]

@rosies14 in Disneyland you get to pat the horse and photos of you and the horse. Then it's done onto the next photo opportunity. Their onto their next Touron - I mean tourist moment.

[@BonnieTrobis]

Love the way the Troopers look out for each other. Like you said, Team Work, and they all become like family since they spend so much time together ❤

[@pglen6042]

Monte's been busy in the box. So love seeing him.

[@colleenbarber3517]

Clock…………LOL! So droll………! Love your commentaries, John! The sun is setting in Vancouver Canada. Clear skies and 11 Celsius here.

[@lyndaenglish4753]

Very enjoyable today John, thank you!

[@nancymarchefka3244]

John your so funny with your comments❤ Love your channel

[@lindasweeney969]

Was she really challenging the guard or was she in a state of shock after coming off her phone. I thought maybe she was like a deer in the headlights. However I have noticed some tourists see Horse guards as nothing more than a tourist attraction. There is no respect for the guards or even other tourists trying to take their photos. They push in and even ignore small children. Just stand in front of them like they are not there. The lack of general respect is sad at times. I watch London City walks daily. Love the channel. Your comments and knowledge of the horses. It’s my chill out place. From Sydney Aust.
