For those wondering why he was questioning the ownership of the bags , People tend to forget the London bombing attacks of the 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.

It’s sad how these brave soldiers and their horses are treated like an amusement at a theme park or petting zoo. They deserve respect for the job they are doing.

They are soldiers on duty protecting others while being treated like a prop by tourists! What amazing people these soldiers are 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Guards are very tuned into what’s going on around them & their horses so a backpack & suitcase even though those tourists looked harmless to the Guards it could be a possible threat well done lads.

This Trooper is one of my Favourite Life Guards. He appears in many Videos. He seems a little older than many of the Young Troopers in both Regiments & with age comes Wisdom in any long Serving Soldier. He also understands the PR part of his Job, I have seen him tell Children & their Parents to come closer to have their Photos taken & he always acknowledges the Thank yous' he receives with a slight smile & nod of his head. Having said that, I really wouldn't like to upset him, Sword or no Sword.

The favorite Horse Guard of mine pointing to the luggage, is not afraid of speaking or interacting with the crowds.

WOW! the Guard sure has a Very sharp eye and is Extremely alert too. He did a Awesome job. :)

Just goes to show EVERYONE…if you see something, SAY SOMETHING!

The changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Where else in the world can you see such splendour, dedication, synchronisation and spectacle? It makes me proud to be British. Long may you flourish

Our soldiers are the best what a show 🎉I'd like to thank them all for their service I don't think people say that enough over here x

Beautiful..Proud Guards and Noble Horses..a sight to behold.

Well done to my favourite Guard for being highly observant while on duty at all times, especially this time. It does not bear thinking about what could happen when we least expect it. So proud of the guards & horses. 👍🏻⚔💂🏻💂🏻‍♂💂🏻‍♀🐎❤🤍💙

Good check! Always watching the crowds while they are watching him.

they must think this is a petting zoo like the silly lady at Yellowstone taking a selfie next to a bison

Amazing men and women, a credit to their county, God bless them and protect them. Greetings from Australia.

I absolutely love 🇬🇧 the beautiful people over there! With love from the USA 🇺🇸

These are military warriors. Well trained.

👩🏻‍💻Many years ago when the Salt Lake Jazz played the Chicago Bulls in basketball I was fortunate to be able to go to a game in Chicago. When the game was over I exited the venue and saw a really calm crowd of people as the police on horseback gently walking amongst the crowd. I have never experienced this phenomenon of horses among the people. I think of this experience when I observe people agitating these royal horses doing their duty, the beauty of this soldier doing his duty on such a beautiful animal strikes me as majestic and with strength without even having to say a word. 🙋‍♀️🥰🇺🇲🇬🇧

The King Guard on the left is my favourite .... I've seen him be so nice to tourists and children.

I love this guard.He's beautiful.

Sometimes it seems the tourists think the horses are pet horses who have someone dressed up as a soldier for the day.sitting on their back. A tourist attraction for entertainment. I don't think anyone realises they're actually British soldiers.

Not many tourists drag their luggage around London, so he was well in order. Perhaps the tourists have not heard about the IRA blowing up the Household Cavalry on its way to Whitehall in 1982. I was working in London at that time. Stuff going off (Old Bailey) and all litter bins removed. I worked on The Times and we were continually being told to evacuate the building. Pain in the butt. Standing in the car park waiting for the glass to be blown out at you.

I think it’s disgusting the way tourists treat these guards and their horses…makes me so angry to see how oblivious these people are to what they are doing, as long as they get their photo they do not care…😡

So glad to see armed guards at these parades, there seem to be an abundance of enemy types in this country.

Awwww, it is my very very favorite Guard. I hope he has a beautiful week ahead. ♡

This Guard is a favourite among us viewers ......I wish I knew his name Thank you for your Service, Sir !!!

Our famous Karen has been seen leaving her bags unattended. we have her down as just a pest but she could be a terror threat. She leaves her bags , gets told off by police several times, they see her bags one day and go look for her to tell her off again when they explode. unattended bags are always a security risk.

God bless these Royal Guards

I think the case belonged to the lady and child who was having their photo taken, but a man appeared by their bag and the guard was making them aware

I don’t know how the Kings Guards deal with that every day- they are actually trained military and have to deal with being treated like a spectacle - obviously their training shows that they are still observant to what is going on there and aware of obvious possible threats - well done to them - they are not just show ponies like a lot of people think 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺

A tourist getting their luggage stolen whilst their back was turned could have caused them a right nightmare.

It goes to show that they can speak to the public if it falls within his role whilst on duty, whether it be a possible terrorist threat or a potential robbery I guess both could be seen as a security matter. They’ve got a good vantage point from the saddle and are likely trained to be very observant and recognise things which are out of the ordinary. Tourists coming up for a photo with the horse, whilst it might be a minor irritation, is to be expected.

It’s been a couple of weeks and I haven’t seen that “Karen”. I hope she is gone for good. 😊

Incredible the tourists attending the ceremonies. So incredible to see the tradition and strength of military in a none threatening way.

I miss the Queen.

IMO there should be fence at the bollards to prevent people getting too close to the horses.

Makes you soo proud and that horse..what a team ♥

This Guard is the most switched on of the lot.

That's their jobs; they are soldiers, not props, and this is a duty station. Their patience and discipline are monumental indeed considering how tourists treat them.

Brilliant job thanks ❤

I have done such work, but never in such a public setting. Even then, I had to deal with idiot tourists, morons who could not keep their hands to themselves, and people who simply could not understand that some things should not be done, public or no. What a LOT of people do not realize is that while these soldiers are dressed in historically accurate uniforms and trained to basically stand there and do nothing, they ARE serving soldiers and they have a duty to perform. Cross their duty at your peril. It has been shown lots of places. King's Guard around the palace in the UK, Old Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the US, other units in other places, no matter where they are do NOT assume that because they look funny that they are not paying attention and/or are harmless. IT WILL HURT. 'nuff said.

The parade reminds me of my dad. At the beginning of his career he was bandsman in the Manchester Regiment - joined aged 14 in 1946. He changed to RAMC and RAOC - 27 years total. In the day, my brother played imaginary instruments with him in the band, and he taught us how to slow and quick march. It was a great childood, so.many lovely memories from many different postings. ❤😘

The public should be kept back from them

I spotted plenty of security risks with suitcases and wearing back packs.

Good man, hope he gets promotion

It's amazing you can make 10 minute videos for something that takes a few seconds

the looks she keeps giving guard for calling out her large unattended bag during parade day is unreal... Lady ur in the wrong

Well done guard.

Why don't they keep the people away from the guards on their horse. If a emergency happened they would go into action and people would get hurt or worse. These men have a job and will do it . All these tourists are just stupid.

Which breed of horse is used by the Horse Guard? The soldiers do a wonderful job. The horses are well trained. And absolute beauties!

Reminds me of United States Air Force band, a lot of precision. Very nice to watch.

Like any other person providing a service..you either remain calm or lose your job. Frankly, no one should allowed to get so close!!

For those questioning he saw a suitcase that appeared unattended. He checked to see who it belonged to. I mean come on if you have to stand in a crowd in this place with a big suitcase or any large bag keep your hands on it. He was being careful doing his job and if he had ignored assuming it was innocent that could be the one time it was serious. Yes I still remember the London bombings and I like many Londoners were back on the tube, trains and buses the following days. I remember at Kings Cross just a couple of days after this stupid woman left her suitcase unnattended. I alerted the nearest policeman and when she finally appeared the group of police waiting gave her a right telling off. Sigh stupid is as stupid does.

Everyone of those servicemen and women and those beautiful horses are total legends and deserve more respect than what they get from some tourists.

I love watching the changing of the guard.

To ALL who come to see these Soldiers, Please Respect these Amazing Men and Women and know the Horse is a Soldier too who are NOT there for your Disrespectful and Exhausting behavior !

I would much rather someone check and it be nothing than not check and it be a bomb.

Очень красиво! Чувствуется неординарное, чисто королевское, сохраните это монархии.

Strange! Didn't see any armed police inside and outside the gate in this short video.

I see the sign Horses may kick or bite . I swear a lot of the people that get so close to horses need a kick up the bottom to be polite

as a farrier and horsemen of some 50 years I would so love to see the changing of the guards in person just once!

That beautiful police horse appears to be proudly instep with the band

4:16 you know they say owners begin to look like their pets? The synch on the chewing between horse and guard is flawless

People should be made to stand back from the area. I dont see what the big deal is with taking a picture next to the guard or horse.

My favourite guardsman at the left side of the gates facing out into Whitehall.

NO one should have a suitcase near where those soldiers are stationed. Too easily to have an IED in one of them.

I am amazed how many people walk around with roller bags/luggage let alone backpacks. They should have a explosive K-9 on duty at all times.

It's high time to put barriers up to protect the guards and horses so the public are kept well back

Long live the King and his soldiers. What they do on a daily basis enduring packs of picture hungry wolves. They sometimes don't ever get the respect they deserve. Magnificent display ❤💯🇨🇦

Nice to see Rishi popping out of number 10 for a quick photo at 2.14

Alert and handsome too!

People need to respect these soldiers. They’re doing their duty and shouldn’t be photographed endlessly by tourists who don’t appreciate what they’re doing.

You know you’ve made it big when you get a piccy with the kings’ guard .

I think it’s about time the government stopped all this nonsense and kept away the crowd from upsetting the horses and let the soldiers do there job. I think it’s a security risk.

This horse has a lovely pink nose…..beautiful creature. I still don’t understand why the public are allowed so close to the horse and rider, and the area. (Look how many backpacks there are in this video). The horses are so vulnerable. There should be a barrier somewhere…..and that lovely white horse was walking in time with the music.

Estos soldados merecen respeto hacen un travajo impecable son dignos de admiración.Tener que aguantar a personas fastidiosas todo el dia no debe de ser fasil estan demasiado expuestos i no los respetan no se que parte no entienden las personas no tocar es no tocar solo me encantaria que el caballo 🐎🐎🐎 les diera un buen mordisco asi lo dejan en paz .

That is Kings Guard job!! They are active duty personnel, they protect the area they’ve been assigned to.

I was in London July 20th 1982. This guard knows.

We must not forget the money that tourists bring into this country. The horses will have the BEST of everything! I live the spectacle of it all 😃

Beautiful ceremony ❤️

Good job Soldier! 🙏

I think the military band is wonderful and guard was on the look out!!!

The people must maintain due dignity and decorum at a historical place !!!

I Guarantee if i went to the country of these tourists and did the same to their guys and gals they would cry racist or blue murder. As a proud brit i go to alot of other countries and respect every part of their manor. Alot of foreigners wonder why we dont like them when they move here

Good for king Charles knowing his guards need to outside too

Do you think the White horse leading the Guards in is thinking "I must be a very good horse" All these humans here to watch me. 🤣

With the passing I wonder if the newer royals will preserve these traditions. Horse back troops are rarely needed now.

You have to wonder if someone would think it's ok to approach and pet or take an upclose photo of an on-duty police canine. Same thing...on duty horse and guard. Show respect!

Yeh people done realise these troopers have also probably seen deployment!

Очень красивое зрелище. Замечательно!

I’m sure tourists don’t realise thy soldiers doing a job . Guess they think they there for fun . Such a shame for kings guards

Enjoyed the band marching .

Yall need to leave that horse alone smh.

What a super vigilant officer of the Guards he is. How would he know if they were taking photos. You would soon make a different comment if they had been lethal cases wouldn’t you!

Miss the queen and the respect n love she had gif people and kingdom so people respected and honoured her and our sovereign land

It is a majestic sight to see on video. I'd say more spectacular in person. The honor, obedience they have is beyond measure. Just like the guards at the "Thumb of The Unknown soldier's" all 2,111 of those brave soldiers that lost their lives for freedom we have today that liberals take for granted.

Sad 😢 but a reflection of the times. This soldier is Too The Point but without being offensive to our visitors....so I hope they understand and had a great stay in GREAT BRITAIN 🇬🇧 🫡 🇬🇧

To save anyone the ache of watching this 2:18 and 2:32, a tourist stepped away from their suitcase and the guard asked not really loudly if they belonged to the tourist. That's it. Nothing more.

Those people ned tomove back away they are crowding the gaurdy and horses

The Brit army civilised half the world and stopped them eating each other..:)
