[@bloodyspartan300]

Low bow and held. Head bowing - it’s traditional, it’s very respectful and very elegant. It’s a beautiful tradition that conveys so much more meaning than what a handshake could convey. It is said that the deeper the bow, the deeper is the respect or gratitude shown by a person. Fifteen-degree bows are used for informal and formal occasions while a thirty-degree angle bow is reserved for very formal times

[@williamwhite8416]

Coming from my side of the pond I don't really see it that way. Would you mind enlightening me? Respect means a lot to me and a bow could show that but it also says that you're subservient. On the other hand a handshake you look another person in the eyes on equal footing extending the hand that would normally hold a weapon and grasp onto the other person. A lot can be said about the way the other person holds their grip and gives an individual influence over another despite societal roles.

[@michaeltutty1540]

​@@williamwhite8416There is nothing subservient about a bow. It is a symbol of the respect and regard the person being bowed to is held by the person bowing. In many cases, particularly in Asian protocols, the bow is returned, so definitely not a sign of subservience. As has been stated, the degree of bow has specific meaning as does the duration. Protocols can be rather esoteric, but in this instance it was a very dignified and polite way to honour and thank the Guardsman.

Respecto a la guardia real me gustaría hacer un comentario con mucho respeto: Ojalá fuera posible que marcaran con líneas perfectamente visibles la ruta por donde van a los guardias. Mucha gente no tiene la menor intención de interferir en los cambios de guardia o en sus rutinas de los soldados, pero si no saben por dónde van a pasar entonces no es culpa de la gente "estorbar" ni de los soldados. Ciertamente algunas personas sí son irrespetuosas con los guardias, pero la gran mayoría de la gente sólo quiere observar y llevarse un grato recuerdo a través de una foto.

Some years ago, while visiting Britain, the friends I stayed with took me to a pub where we met up with one of their friends. He was a member of the Grenadier Guarda whose current assignment was a s a ceremonial guard at The Tower of London. Because the guards are in such close proximity to tourists, I asked him who were the best and worst tourists. He replied, "Canadians and Japanese are the best. They're quiet, polite and respectful." He added, 'the worst are Americans. For the most part, they are rude, arrogant, loud, demanding and very disrespectful." Just to confirm, a few days later, I was at the Science Museum and asked a security guard the same question. He echoed what the other person told me. He said, "oh that's an easy question sir. American visitors are almost always awful. They're very rude and loud. As for the best, "Canadians and Scandanavian visitors are nice people."

[@tazman5722]

When there were a lot more branches of the guards before a lot of mergers you could always tell what guards they were by the formation of the buttons.

You still can, the only merges you talk about are when battalions are merged, there are still 5 regiments of foot guards, Grenadier Coldstream Scots Welsh and Irish and the buttons and plumes are all different between them.

[@Jamie_Wulfyr]

Yeah, the regiments are still the same. There's too much history, tradition and battle honours for the powers-that-be to start messing with the Guard's regimental organisation. I remember the uproar when it was suggested that the Parachute Regiment and The Royal Marines should be amalgamated into one individual "commando" regiment and they haven't got the centuries of history that the Guards have. Regular regiments of the line get merged all the time but in this case I think the government know enough to leave well alone.

[@margaretoconnor3687]

These particular Guards are Welsh Guards, the youngest of the five regiments of foot guards. You can tell the regiments apart by various details on their uniforms. For example the spacing of the buttons on their tunics. Single spacing, Grenadiers In twos,Coldstream In threes, Scots In fours, Irish In fives, Welsh They also have different insignia on their collars as well as plumes in their bearskins ( or not, as in the Scots Guards) . As I understand it the placing of the plume shows where the regiment would have been historically in line of battle . The Scots have no plume as they would have been in the middle. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Interesting. He employs a Japanese-style bow, and I notice he has the word 'Anime' written on his t-shirt, so could he potentially be drawing from that as inspiration? It isn't typically how we show respect in the UK, though we do bow we only bow our head (or curtsey) to the monarch and clergymen may bow in church. We do nod our heads to others as a sign of respect or greeting, but we do not typically perform what the Japanese call sai-keirei', a 45 degree bow typically used for those in higher positions than ourselves. If I were to make a bold assumption; I might assume that this kind chap may be on the spectrum, and he repeated what he saw on anime as he judged it to be a 'sign of respect' and defaulted to that gesture. I only assume this because of the way the members of his party told him to stand, encouraged him to smile, and the sigh of relief once he had finished taking a photograph which I imagine, being in a public place, was rather uncomfortable for him. I tend to hyper-analyse things, so I thank you if you bothered to read any of this. What a kind, nice and brave chap for doing what he thought was right. If he is a foreign tourist, I encourage him to come back and visit anytime!
