The majority of the people you see are serving soldiers. These are not just people dressed up for the occasion they are serving, decorated soldiers. It is the biggest showing since the last Coronation and it will be logistically very well all worked out.

These people, I should say the guards etc, are not hurting anyone and should be given respect, and it is great for tourism, it is fine and should be supported... Plus the UK is probably the best in the world at doing this.

[@veronicawilliams7427]

Excuxs me but "harrassing the Guards as a lot of them do (not all of them so but the vast majority do, their behaviour at times and this is at most times, is unacceptable. Yes I agree with you that the tourists should be an asset but these are peoiple who never go into the Household Cavalry Shops on site nor in the Museum. so how is that an assett. The tourists have been coming to London as I have since 1953 every year and every year I have bought from their venues I have visited and that is what is known as supporting these venues. and because of the joy I get from my visits, I don't get "drunk" nor to I harrass the guardsmen and horses as i have had over so many years, I always buy items from their venues as I would sooner help to fund these young men and now women too who keep us safe year in year out.

They are pretend guards and are only there to generate revenue from tourists . If they were actually proper soldiers then why do the police go and hold their hand when a tourist upsets them .

The pagentry was a sight to behold... I loved watching the skill of horseman handling their mounts. The marching of the forces representing the Commonwealth was truly a joy to watch. The working royals in regala and all the rest of the family members gathered to show loyalty. The support of the coronation of King Charles III and his queen Camilla was good to see. Still, remembering Princess Di. The tragedy of all this is that the rift in the family can be seen and felt. Bottom line, is that it is a family. Pure and simple. I hope that healing will happen at some point. Forgiveness for what cannot be changed... Now, from around the globe, all the love and support was truly a joy to watch. 👏🇬🇧👑❤️🙏🇺🇸

To be clear - The most senior officers in this video are seen at 0:30 seconds. The three officers marching with gold sashes and large amounts of scrambled egg on their caps are general officer rank, they are also wearing frock coats. So very rarely you have generals marching amongst all the other officers at the 0:30 stamp. The gold sash over frock coat denotes general officer And so they outrank everyone else seen in this video. Neither the bearskin or the senior NCO are the commander of anything. The chap who commands the household troops and in fact all troops garrisoned inside London district is a major general and he’s seen with his tri corn hat with feathers at 6:01 That is the general officer commanding London and the actual commander.
