Who else loves seeing different parts of London

Named as the Best Turned - Out Soldier at the Princess Elizabeth Cup validated Trooper Jeffrey as The Blues & Royals Finest. 🏆

I have always thought that sitting on the ground here is an unbelievable dumb idea for anyone... and this is why. Parents not attentive once again.🙄

The Troopers name is Ethan Jeffery. He stood out from them all, was my favorite. Congratulations to Trooper Jeffrey a well deserved win. A very handsome man. Great to see him once again as Gatesman. Thank you John: Kiwi

Oh WOW how lucky is that - the winning trooper AND the wonderful grey and a brilliant trumpet call.

The Blues & Royals Trumpeter did a Magnificent job.👏

Watching from Canada's capital, Ottawa Ontario. Proud to be part of the Commonwealth.

Trooper did a marvellous job of controlling Q10 aww he’s so gorgeous.

The gates man is really tall, I didn’t realize. Congratulations to him for winning the Elizabeth Cup! And John, you are right, it is beautiful looking there today!

Nothing beats the British pomp and ceremony just magnificent thanks for showing us this John

That lovely grey was saying "I am not going out there unless everyone comes with me".❤😊

Omg that was scary that’s why kids should not sit on that white line parents seem to be oblivious of the dangers a horse can cause and not the horses fault

How fortunate you are to see the gray and the trumpeter so long, and in the sunshine 😎

I’m really astonished that children are in such danger everyday.

Good afternoon John. Congratulations to our favourite Trooper for winning the Elizabeth cup. So great to see he is back. It’s great when you can get to the back so we can see all of the troopers and horses. Its awesome to see 😊

That has got to be the most magical grey horse that has ever been at horsegaurds

Their Children , Their Responsibilities for their Own children.

I love the way you politely but firmly corrected the German gentleman and his response was perfect! What a crush!! Only a Brit would complain when the sun shines LOL!! Wish this had been the weather when the Princess Elizabeth Competition was going on - how the yard would have sparkled with the reflection off the Blues and Royals and Lifeguards uniforms!! Crazy day there today!

I just loved the fantastic long guard! Such beautiful trumpet salutes and pageantry. Just a magnificent day with you in the right place at the right time. ❤😊

Those horses are absolutely glistening in the sunlight! What a sight to see and admire!!

The trumpeter was outstanding.

I wonder if adults, parents or not, realized horses are not family pets, they would be as nonchalant. A horse has a 500 psi or power in a bite yet a pit bull has half that. Without sounding like I’m picking on a particular breed would these people tell their kids go pet the pit bull, let’s take pictures with the pit bull, or laugh when their kids clothing is taken into the dogs mouth

Congratulations to Ethan and Monty, A very well deserved recognition of so much hard work.

There is also a service at St.Pauls Cathedral for the 10th Anniversary of the Invictus Games today. Bless all our Brave Military Personnel!

Horse said I deserve a holiday and trot back in.😊

Yeah we can even feel the warmth he has to feel so good

My absolutely favourite trooper..so glad to see him!!! Congratulations on his win...truly deserved!!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇 Obviously...that's not including my favourite Blues and Royals N.C.O..CoH Dan and trooper Ormonde!! What a contrast from the other dreary day..wonderful video John, thank you so much!! ❤❤ xxxxx

WOW JOHN ! Beauitful street-bridge-buildings-ELizabeth Tower footage this morning's glorious London Sunshine, Special video caught so much guards-horses-Bugle..and Horsie clip clop antics.....BYE THE WAY...Mr. Q-10 is a " Chic Magnet "...lol...

Good to see trooper Jeffery from the Blues and Royals, winner of the Princess Elizabeth Cup, i hope that he enjoys his trip abroad, one of his predecessors won a trip to Canada. Many congrats and very well done.

Anybody else see the Life Guard in back row at dismount, quickly flip to his left and help the other guard with something, either with the horse or equipment. Good job guard, you're a good man. The last rider, (who must be a newbie) going into the stables, was the guard who needed the brothers help.

I love that you started the video long before getting to the main attraction. I love the horse guards but I also love seeing the London sights. Thanks from a Canadian fan.

What a stunning treat that was to start the video with John! Thank you so much. The clarity of your focus on that magnificent grey was top class. I've never heard such a clear trumpet call. Pity the Guards....mounted and on foot, and the wonderful Mounts have to put up with such foolish hordes. Thank you for a very special session.

The guard change was magnificent.

It was great to see my favorite trooper (Jeffery?) back! Congrats on winning the Elizabeth's Cup Award! *~~~* I think that the horse that almost ran over those kids sitting on the ground, may have reacted partly to that clueless tourist dragging his large, noisy suitcase and running in front of him. Both horses were a little on edge today though. *~~~* I think we all know who won't be getting the 'parent of the year' award! 😒🤦‍♀ Just stands there as his kids are about to get run over. *~~~* Once again, John, thanks for speaking up for the trooper! People think they're yucking it up with a buddy, when in reality, they are being super disrespectful to a working soldier. *~~~* 56:13 - One of the absolute best at all he does!

What great timing to see the grey and the trumpeter and congrats to the trooper and Monty for winning the Princess Elizabeth Trophy. That was a close call for that child parents should be paying more attention around horses. Aww Q10 just didn’t want to deal with tourists today

Wow! Thank you for the marvelous tour of England. You’re so thorough. Well done. Your narrative is amusing as you get out of the way of traffic. Thank you John from California.

A stunnig Trooper & Monty well deserved TY John

I really love Q10.He is one gorgeous horse❤❤❤❤❤

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Hi John. Interesting day today. That kid was very lucky indeed. Lack of awareness on the parents part. Trumpeter was superb. Congratulations to the guard on winning the Elizabeth cup. Well deserved

PS. Congratulations to the Elizabeth Cup winner!

Good morning!!! First I want to thank you for the videos in which you show the King's Guards with their magnificent horses; We have seen everything, from falls, parades, and others. What I don't like is how badly some tourists behave towards the Guards, especially those who I think are Jews (because of the way they dress). It's good that you show us other places in that beautiful city. I admire each video of how they were rebuilt after the German bombings in WWII. I know they were more than 50 years ago, but there are no traces of destruction. Congratulations

What a wonderful interesting video you have shared with us today. Thank you John for making my life so full . This place I visited as a child in the 50 s.....now unable to travel delight in your daily travels.

love the sound of the hooves on the gravel…crunch crunch crunch.

❤❤ ooops, Congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏 Trooper and of course Monty🎉🎉 Winners of the Princess Elizabeth Cup🎉🎉❤❤ Bravo Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧⚔️🛡️🐴❤❤👏👏🎉🎉👍👍🥇🏆🎉🎉

I have not watched complete video yet but will today..I just realized that the guard who stands by the Souvenir kiosk is vulnerable when everyone is watching the changing of the guards..All eyes are forward and no one is watching,protecting the guard on duty behind the crowd ..

They really are magnificent, makes me proud to be British...

Wow you've done it again well done to the guard man who won the cup and if there was a reward for the best videos of the Kings life guards I think you would be in the top 5

The trooper on the Grey was absolutely brilliant.

Impeccable timing when you arrived with the stunning Horse Guards, and beautiful scenery crossing Westminster Bridge, looks like the perfect day ( except for the tourists)

John I wish you could get an interview with the fabulous Elizabeth Cup winner. I remember him from the day they were competing for it and have rewatched those videos several times. You did so good!

These buildings are just magnificent. I have to live vicariously through your videos. I would love to visit London and the English countryside.

Hi John what a Magnificent video and our Fantastic Blue's and Royals winner he's Blooming Marvellous ❤❤ The kids were very lucky. Thank you John really enjoyed this beautiful scenery of London in the glorious sunshine stay safe ❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

Absolutely beautiful scenery... I remember those phone boxes in NZ... used to have them around when I was a kid..lol...used to have a light on inside at night...

Beautifully done by the trumpeter ❤

💯 brilliant video. Sad to see the horses when they are spooked. But shows the skill of the guards. The rest of your video has made my day. London at its best. What more could you have crammed in. Thank you. C of Hereford England

So was it this guard who won the Elizabeth's Cup, what amazing horse won

Well this was a pleasant intro to the day. Thanks for the stroll. Beautiful also in Cleveland , Ohio USA.

Here in Southern Italy its been gloomy all day and now at, 8 pm your time , its chucking it down

Oh, well done on catching all that in the yard , almost spoiled by a helicopter !

Thanks for the stroll along Westminster Bridge today. The iconic sights of London set against a clear blue sky was amazing. My friend’s cousin plays in the brass section of an orchestra - he even managed to get a note perfect recognisable tune out of a watering can at a BBQ last year. He says one of the most difficult brass instruments to master is the valveless trumpet - and that’s with both feet planted firmly on the ground and nothing to interrupt breath control. Can you imagine how much more difficult it must be on a horse with one hand holding the trumpet and the other on the reins when a sudden jolt could make holding or reaching a note practically impossible. I think word must have gone round the stables amongst the horses as to how to get themselves the day off. It seems like more and more horses are quitting than there used to be. If they’re getting spooked by the sheer number of people around so early in the season they may have to consider some sort of crowd limitation before the height of summer. The welfare of the horses must come before the whims of tourists. Brilliant example of parenting - a skittish horse is close to trampling his kids sitting on the ground in its path and he just stands there watching. Is there any update on how Vida is doing? I hope his recovery after his op is still on track.

Absolutely magnificent to see that wonderful grey with the trumpeter. Fantastic trumpet solo!

Common sense seems too often to be lacking amongst those tourists!

13:34 stunning grey, leading out the long guard with regimental standard. Trooper patient man waiting for air noise to die down. The trumpet salute was amazing, and well worth the wait. Well done. 15:12 the Winner 🏆 of Princess Elizabeth Cup. Monty's rider Trooper Jeffery. Congratulations sir.

Loving this, can't stop watching. There goes the decorating 😅

Great filming today, so much going on to capture ! My favourite thing on a sunny day is the shine on the horses glossy coats, highlighting the work the troopers put in every day ❤️

Talk about picture perfect,this is it!

Good day. What a beautiful morning for you to film John. We have had 5 straight days of rain and finally, 5 days of 🌞 with 20C plus temps coming. Yardwork after enjoying your video. Cheers!❤🐴🐴 🇨🇦

Vida is still recovering and is not expected to return to service ever. From the latest update from the House Hold Cavalry. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

You are having a grand and fantastic morning along with plenty of exciting content. Thank you for the excellent coverage and commentary. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

What a special moment! 🇺🇸

What a beautiful sight I’ve never seen something so beautiful thank you

May I just say that I thoroughly enjoyed your walk to the horses. What a beautiful city and a glorious day. The grey's are my favorite horses, especially the dapples.

Quite a mixed bag for part 1! The beginning with the sun on Westminster was absolutely spectacular! I was hoping you’d show more of it, was fantastic! I’ve seen all kinds of pictures but this view was incredible, the sun just made all the intricate architecture pop! That was better than any postcard! Things just kept rolling along with the trumpeters and their beautiful greys, kids almost getting stomped, Q10 having a pout, the Elizabeth Cup winner, the new sign, I’m looking forward to part 2!!!😻🐎❤️

Good afternoon john ouch that would have been very different story parents should always keep their eyes on their kids so accidents don't happen

Thank you for letting me tour this beautiful place with you! Stephanie Louisiana USA

Morning….looking forward to your day as always….no recliner to day…SUN LOUNGER TODAY!!woo hoo!!😎🌻😎

Good morning John! This is wonderful! I do so enjoy getting a view of your beautiful city! Listening to you is a joy. I'm even hearing through the accent, learning new phrases & it's great since I feel like I'm on the tour of my dreams. Thank you, stay safe. 🌹🇺🇸

Beautiful buildings shame about the people inside it (parliament). Well done John got to see the the trumpeter and the guards coming out for the long guard. beautifully caught. That trumpeter did a wonderful job considering his horse had a right strop on. Lovely arrival of the life guards and another trumpeter playing a lovely tune. So this is trooper Jeffrey, he is very tall! Chain or not they should know not to go in. This is a barracks not a museum this is their work place. Oops! I'm afraid with horses, you have to be prepared to get out of the way quickly! John do you think the new cameras make a noise that the horses thinks is a wasp or fly? I have seen another two horses not happy in the box nobody near them they are just really anxious. The view of the dismount was beautiful, all the horses behaved beautifully. Never seen the trumpeters grey move so fast!

Loved today's video. I think the massive change in temperature and sunshine caught some of our beautiful horses out. I wish they could find some way of making the cobbled areas less slippy, my heart stops every time they get spooked. ❤

37:28 that was a bit close. Horse moved sideways in, child sitting there, Not good for the horse or child. As far as the parents were concerned the child was safe at their feet. Unfortunately you can't rely on a horse to move where you think it will go. Hence the incident, at least the child became aware and moved quickly out of the way.😊

John, good morning! Linda from Florida. I think that was Q10. Pretty sure I saw the white spot over his left eye. Enjoyed the walk this morning. Love seeing different areas of London. Lot of unhappy horses today!

I have been watching your videos for a while now and I really do enjoy them my son was in the Blues and Royals.

Ignorance from all countries abounds at horse guards.. Why do you not make sure your kids stand up.? Q-10 is a sexy horse.

The gate to the offices also has a security keypad and call bell, for those without the access passes, to be allowed admission to the area beyond the gate and that's very visible if you approach the archway. That visible security on the gateway reinforces the fact that the archway there is NOT meant to be entered by tourists.

Absolutely 💯 great video. Thanks for sharing god 🙏 bless you and your family ❤❤

Wow...what a parade....congrads to the winner....looks like that horse is ok now...looking super great. glad they fixed the sign now a new one for the box...telling people don't touch the horse...lol

Keeping the center gate closed is a convenience for the armed police but a danger for the guards and horses.

I just found your channel- I am overwhelmed how professional you are in every way! I have been spending many hours catching up- love seeing the horses and the pomp and circumstance!!!

Ignorance personified !!

Watching from New Zealand. Thanks for your reports.

Absolutely a world class view!!!

Great video. I am astonished how clueless people are around horses.

But he’s a beautiful horse all the same beautiful. He’s just having a bad day 😢

Oooooh! The Gatesman, Trooper Ethan Jeffery, the winner of the Princess Elizabeth Cup, is such a handsome young man. I'm probably old enough to be his mother, but I can still appreciate the fine figure of a man! Well done, John for your dash across the parade ground! You should do the London Marathon next year! I'd sponsor you!! Thank you for all your amazing, informative, entertaining and educational films about the King's Life Guards. I love watching them. Keep up the good work. x

I thought the first one was Q10 but the more I look at him i don’t think it is. The white dot isn’t there on his head. Q10 has a spot on his front right leg. That one did not have either spots. Hard to tell if it’s Reaper since he is all black. 😊. I do agree that the second time you said Q10 it was him it was. 😊

Thank you , thank you , thank you John for a brilliant video this morning . First the walk over Westminster Bridge in the glorious sunshine , what a view ! Then arriving with perfect timing to see the Trumpeter on a magnificent grey in the tiltyard , especially when you had no idea it was a Long Guard , well done Trumpeter 😀. Then as the Blues rode out the sheen on the coat of the Officers horse WOW 😎. Glad you went to the Parade ground to see the Lifeguards arrive , I know we've seen it many times but I for one could never tire of the spectacle . The hand over of the Regimental Standard then the dismount , love the way the grey trotted into the stables " ok breakfast now "😂😂. Great to see Trooper Jeffrey on duty , did you ever discover why he was on Shackleton not Monty for the final ? I know there was a couple of incidents , but I'm focusing on the best parts and looking as always forward to part 2 😀😀😀

Morning from Australia John, you are so funny regarding horses, horses don't kick as much as you think they do, if they sure threatened and have to defend themselves or if some idiot frightens them they will kick to defend, but this beautiful grey I don't think he will kick out😅

You always point out the great architecture with great enthusiasm.

Thank you John for having a word with the young lad ❤
