I just wanted to commend you on the sheer quality of your videos. The image is pristine and I don’t get all dizzy from abrupt and jerky movements (like some Dogme 95 films!) Add to that your witty comments and shiny spine in addressing rudeness and I can safely state that you are the best companion for my morning coffee! Thank you for your excellent work!

Thank you about the Civil War comments,,,so true waist of money

@@txladywolf01 It was shockingly bad!

@@AnaRodriguez-gv2me Dogme 95! Festen is my favourite film of all time! : )

Festen is an amazing film! Dark topics that do slap you in the face and get you thinking… We do live in chaotic times, don’t we? Art that invites self-reflection is always welcome and appreciated. Your videos showcase the good, the bad, and the ugly, if I maybe use another film reference. They do invite us to consider human behavior. I do appreciate your perspective and commentary. Thank you!🙏🏻

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Though it's a public area, there should be railings to restrict getting too close to the guards and horses. They could still take pictures but there should be a set limit to stay within a certain foot . The public have too much access to the guards and horses and don't follow the rules even though it's posted.

@@MWDebbieunfortunately putting barriers around the horses won’t work. The horses are unpredictable so if they freak out or bolt then that could injure the horse and maybe the trooper

Totally agree. I don't quite understand why such large numbers are allowed in. The Military aren't making any money out of people so why allow it

It’s the historical gateway to the Royal Palaces and parks. It has always been used by the public, why should it stop just because people behave rudely? It has to be said, the vast majority who do pass through, do so respectfully.

also a tourist attraction that brings a lot of revenue to London

Especially with the amount of surface area on those cavalry boots! Must take ages. I'd be annoyed if someone's greasy Macdonald's eating fingers smeared themselves all over hours of graft.

Plus the weight on a dangling leg over a horse must bother the trooper on the horse. People are so impolite and unaware of their surroundings. They get way too close to horses and troopers on the horse! I have seen troopers bump tourists away leaning on their leg.

Why do these stupid foreign tourists insist on touching the reins and the horse and - yes even these immaculately turned out guards men and women. If allowed in some of your own countries you'd be locked up and receive no sympathy. HANDS OFF!!!!!

Yeah I think it’s something like 2 days to get them perfect worth of cleaning, polishing etc for the kit

My taxes paid for you to waste 6hrs polishing boots ?

I agree 💯

@@Kiwi_Jo do you remember after the chch earthquakes when some chinese students died their government tried to sue nz because the kids died? Entitled much.

This is true but the guard seems to be enjoying this meeting with the child, some do have families and they like having the children around

they are hard working tourism props.

i met a woman from brighton uk in india , travelling on her own & she was very nearly 80

My best wishes to you and your wife Daniel! Thank you both.

Most of the other youtubers cannot speak reasonable english or are only interested in getting a video to post to get CLICKS and they post a misleading title

@@mikestewart9215 thats why i don't watch any of the others....watched a few at first then stopped all but this one

es, love the narrative and humour. Love this channel.

That’s why I love John’s channel I don’t care for the rest of them

John also puts the actual day the video was filmed & most if not all of the others do not.

Love that big beauty, when he gets all shovey and nippy, Yeah, King.

She’s as feisty as the horses . She’s my fave.

Manners are not "in".

@becks7058. What time stamp is the cheeky kid at?

@@az-yq3rk I didn't see it once?

@@az-yq3rk Shortly before 44 minutes.

​@@myoldvhstapesThank you for the information

The police need to control this better, less posing with their guns.

Nobody tried to walk through. Usually it's not possible as the backdoors are closed.

Young Brit's(guards esp)Donot need to block what little sun England gets all year by dawning dark sunglasses.They,like most Canadians will notice the change at 40 years.Due to lack of sun due to gloom and rain.They are young men "unless the sun is blinding before it exits for the evening.We draw down the visors in our cars in Canada.At about 6:00pm❤Besides,most are quite handsome😊Eyes,are beautiful😊

That kid might not speak English and might not understand the context. Don't blame the children for being children, blame the parents for not keeping control of them.

​@@bakersmileyfacecorrect but if the children don't understand English the parents probably don't either. However, they certainly should be watching their child.

Some parents think their kid is being cute, I bet they filmed the whole thing and laugh about.

The British use all this royal stuff to boost tourism. Horrible treatment of these magnificent horses. Catastrophe waiting to happen.

When I was in the army in the 1980’s sunglasses were forbidden and we were often told we’re not American and it looks unprofessional.

@@amandasmith3716 agreed because eye contact particularly when you’re leasing with locals is important

maybe they are blind

tourist are bane of central London, most of them seem to think we Londoners are part of there holiday, I get people asking me to pose for them and take pictures. crazy.

Brains? Surely you mean the one functioning brain cell.

Most leave what common sense they have at Heathrow or where ever they entered London from. Brains is a question mark.

Hey I thinking the masses. lol

Have u seen how some of you guys behave abroad? This is not half as disgraceful and disgusting. Been to a greece or spanish resort lately ? Shameful behaviour by british tourists is to put it mildly

Watched his video. Quite extraordinary!!

Absolutely correct! I noticed that later and corrected myself in Part Two (coming later) when she was in the Tilt Yard. Thank you!

@@LondonCityWalks oops I didn't want to anticipate anything 😅 - but you're welcome

They use to be ammunition boxes but now can hold cigarettes or mobile phones

@@jayjohnson8426 Thank you for the information, I do love this channel compared to the other guards,. Only because People talk to you here. Thank you again. Have a sweet day.😃

Useless comment.. trash

@mikestewart9215 Allow me to express it with all respect. I read ALL the comments on ALL the wonderful videos on this channel... the best on the subject. We can't beat this John ! 💕🐴 And, *every time* I see *_the same almost identical message_* that YOU leave... Always the same... on the date filmed. Yes we know *:* the info about the date filmed and the part (1de2...) is always listed in the "Description section" by scrolling down to the bottom, click on _more..._ Eureka we find it. I've seen you (your comments) before on another Channel... and I think I know, no I know why you're doing this here. I'm not adding anything but don't think less of it. *To John thank you very much for all.* 🙏🌷

@@mikestewart9215 Sorry for you... I know you. But... you don't understand the sense of my comment. It's up to you. For you ▶👀 👓 👀 I think *:* you've need the 👓 for see certain things. Have a good continuation.

which minutes ?

Around 18.20 😂

She actually touched the bottom of her boot. Time 18:15

It’s b3cause the woman rested her hand on the stirrup and touched the boot.

My dad had that kind of look

Lincoln is the horse not the trooper

@@darrenjones3681 Horses hold the rank of Trooper in the household cavalry

@@richardjohnson5529 yes I know but most watchers would not understand that

Absolutely my pleasure! ❤️

Yes Wee Frank is so cute I love it when he shows up.

If a tourist had their leg whether in boots or not touched by a total stranger , they'd be screaming and demanding the police ! Horses can kick , so can Troopers 😁. Haven't seen any bite yet though 😂😂😂

The boots have stirrups attached and those are use to control the horse, someone pushing the boot could cause a problem with the horse.

@@maybarnard1088 spurs. Stirrups are where their feet go.And frankly spurs or no, if some stranger grabbed MY foot on horseback they’d be eating my boot!!

Yes

It’s more because of the Mind Numbing amount of time it takes to polish their kit. Those boots are so polished the captain can see his reflection in them. No one wants a finger put on those boots lol

Even I haven't watched *all* of my videos! That's some achievement!!

Not all of your videos only from the last six week. I do have a backlog from when I started watching your channel last summer. I will manage all videos some time in the future. I hope😂😂

Ministry of Defence Police, Public. Different from Military Police, Armed Forces, they are usually known as the Red Caps.

I watch from USA and I agree John does a great job explaining everything.

I once sall it in a shopping mall here in America. So funny!😂😂😂😂

How about walking into a horse? Or better yet, ALMOST walking into a horse, but noticing at the last second , shrieking like a banshee, and running away 🤣

Here in Barrie Ontario Canada, today is May 7, 2024 - 9:32 am

She's fantastic isn't she , and an excellent horsewoman 😊

The Royal Garden Hotel on Kensington High Street. 👍🏻

That little boy wanted the perfect picture, perhaps for a gift to his grandparents or to hang on his bedroom wall to remember the trip.

@@maybarnard1088 It doesn't matter . he was getting in the way of a Military Soldier making his rounds!! The Child isn't at Disneyland and the guards are real Military soldiers who deserve respect!!

@@m3gan7737 ahh, but if he was a blond english kid you know you would have found some excuse.. come on , embrace your racism
