I've just been watching a couple of your videos from October last year , what a difference apart from the new signs and white lines NOT a spammer with half a dozen phones standing there all day in sight ! So apart from them everything has changed for the better 😀. Hope you're enjoying your day off John as protests kept Whitehall closed .

These latest MOD police are not as vigilant as the previous MOD police. One in particular seems to stand around chatting and chewing gum. I realise the SAS Trained 😂( Pocket Rocket Policewoman is on Special Duties but she and her colleagues need to be brought back to Horseguards ASAP. There are far too many lapses in Policing Horseguards over the last few weeks.

I agree I really miss the last regime of police , the lovely strict lady and the two tall , as I don’t know their names I do not wish to offend in any way , but the two coloured police , they were exceptional at getting order . Hope they all come back very soon . I miss the “ old “ corporal of horse too , he was very visible around Horse Guards . Love the twin guards .

Not sure what country you are from but in the UK it is totally unacceptable to refer to someone ​ as 'coloured'@@bingbong46

[@joytuc2608]

@@ElizabethLewis-q1e Yeah, I noticed the use of "coloured" too. It could be an age thing. My husband is 80 years old and is black. He still still refers to himself & others like him as coloured, at times, because that's the word used most of his life and to him it's not rude, even though he does try to say black

Hey John! Looks massive crowded in the yard today. Glad I’m snuggled at home with my morning coffee! Have a good day out there! Thanks again for your commentary and keep the good work!

[@bdasswarrior]

I remember this video and when you shared it a few days ago. These two police officers are new, as in this is the first time I've seen either of them. I also noticed they stay in that corner and not do anything till someone else comes out and starts doing crowd control. Either they are so new they don't know what to do, or they don't care. Either way, it's a shame because since they started, there is zero crowd control, even when the horse has a melt down.

[@Sternchen35hh]

I also noticed that the new police officers demeanour is different from the ones before. Maybe they have new orders, like the Guards. The Guards don't shout anymore and maybe the police have similar orders like to hold back (sorry my English is not so good)

Watching the lady guard -- her right leg was being pinned between the horse and the wall of the box opening. Finally the horse responds and moves forward so the guard can reposition the horse. This horse has been restless since it entered the box.

It never ceases to amaze me that given the horrific photographs splashed all over the world of the bloody horses bolting through London, that more people aren’t aware that when horses are spooked in the city they damage themselves and other people and cars and it’s just an awful incident. Every time you describe something is extraordinary, John, I like to replace the word with something unprintable! The stupidity of tourists, their lack of awareness and care just astounds me. I’m 63 and well travelled, but I think my travelling days are over because I just can’t cope with the stupidity of tourists and the enormous numbers these days that just ruins the experience. 😢

[@ClaimTheDensity]

Yes, the sign seems straight today 👍🏻

[@swissuz]

"Even the pigeon got scared." hahahaha! John, you come out with some zingers. But seriously, that crowd during the guard change was frightening. It's really going to progressively get worse over time. From a birds eye view, I looks like they need to start emergency plans when the yard gets too crazy. You are on the ground all the time, how do you think they could aliviate this problem? Off the top of my head, it might be a good idea to have someone who's duty it is to give a general assessment of the crowds in side the gate about 15 minutes before the guard change, and temporarily prevent any more people from coming in from both directions. It's so dangerous to have that many people in a very closed area. One horse bolting or getting to anxious could trigger anything causing a potentially terrible accident, and even panic in the crowd. wow!

Idiots think it is a freaking petting zoo. They stand around gaping and are too stupid to see that a 450 to 500kg unsettled horse is dangerous. One of my Gran's favourite sayings - Dumb As A Box Of Rocks! I used to ride when I was younger and watching the way the trooper guides and controls the horse, one handed and never losing the correct seat or position of the sword is amazing. I know exactly how difficult that is, and the trooper does it with style and class.
