All normal mounts and dismounts are on the left side! And all the, to our eyes, rather bizarre arm waving and dismounting by stages, is just how they are taught in the cavalry school. Including the coordinated neck slap “ make much of your mount!”😆

@@juliadove1006 I understand your information and thank you, but like Buska, we thought dismounting procedures on the left side of the YARD, was unusual. (normally done on the right, where the ambulance was, on this particular day)

@@joyceroberts3886 OK I’m not that regular a watcher. I foolishly thought that the “ dismount on the left side “ was referring to the horse, not the courtyard!!😘

@@juliadove1006 You're not foolish Julia, I probably didn't make myself clear enough in my comment. You assured me, that you know more about horses, proper procedures around them. Thank you for that

Oh the ambulance leaving is the dismount ??? Confused me for sure

Mine too, tell her she’s doing a great job please Buska and so are you, love the bits of chit chat you put in 😊

Just what I was going to say 😄

She's Met police not MoD.

I thought she's MoD

Hope all is well with whomever needed ambulance

They are professional soldiers and well used to changes in routine. Many have served in places like Afghanistan. The horses are extremely well trained too.

@@msfrred1st True and well said. 😊

@@msfrred1st Of course but it doesn't hurt to let our brave soldiers and horses know how proud we are of them. The horse in the left hand box did look a bit bemused but backed in beautifully

When in the military, earrings are regulated to specific studs.

The privacy screens are used quite often for ambulances in the UK when issues occur in a public place.

@@nestpeeper you never see that in Canada

@@loganwhite3904 You very rarely see it in the us unless it's a particularly gruesome scene. It should be SOP far more often imho.

Have you never seen all the cars that drive through almost every day,??

@@Diamondmine212 No, I've never seen all the cars driving through the courtyard. I don't live there. What Buska doesn't film, I don't see.

@@Diamondmine212 There are never any cars driving through the gates from Whitehall into the tiltyard , the bollards are there to restrict unauthorised vehicles access , As a safety and security measure .

During the funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth II, the cortege went through Horse Guards; during King Charles III coronation procession, the royal carriage went through Horse Guards. If you ever see a royal procession through Horse Guards, you will know that the number of rehearsals must have been tremendous.

What Happened been Praying for who ever it was . Pray they are ok

A tourist stated below in a comment.

An epileptic fit can happen to everyone, even if no such problems were ever seen before that time. It can at times be caused by dehydration or overheating and often is a one time occurrence. It's not necessarily epilepsy, where those seizures will happen more than once.

tourist stated in a comment below.

Well spotted sir or madam .

Don't think the wardens will dare to give out tickets in this place!

The person needing medical care was removed from the parade field in that car. It waited in the center arch in the shade for the ambulance to arrive. Once the ill person was transferred to medical team the car was put back there out of the way.

There was a military ceremony on the parade ground. The car originally transported official guests. Traffic wardens can't issue tickets within Horseguards. It is a military establishment and property of Ministry of Defence.

@@msfrred1st Just having a little joke...

An epileptic seizure is not a fit! It is a serious medical event!

Thank goodness there we're people present... hoping for the best❤

Jayne I don't think Buska was making light of what happened....used wrong word but he at least tried to explain😊

Ein epileptischer Anfall. Ist ein Anfall! Bitte besser informieren, bevor sie dazu einen Kommentar abgeben.

​@@jaynebennett3401A fit is anthr name for a seizure esp up here in Scotland. Ma son is Epileptic amongst othr thing's and we call them fit's not seizures x

Visitor had a fit

@@busk1976 thank you hope they are better soon. Was worried it was a guard. I think they’ve had enough the last couple of weeks tbh

4:00 Not sure what the HP rating is on a Ford Mustang Mach-E is.

A tourist suffered a seizure and was removed to the back to wait for an ambulance in an official car in the shade to be taken care of while waiting.

Rehearsals for Trooping of the color parades, that will take place during June (in 3 separate but consecutive weekends, if i'm not mistaken - June 1st, June 8th, and June the 15th).

Horse Guards is the HQ London District, British Army. The King does not live here, he lives at Clarence House. The Horse Guards are for ceremonial purposes. The police are MoD police guarding MoD property.

Horseguards was originally a main gate to Buckingham Palace and I'd still used as part of the route on some state occasions. The last time being the Kings coronation. That is why there is a military ceremonial guard there. Ministry of Defence police are there to help protect the building and grounds and to assist with crowd control in this case.

The Guards are the two regiments of The Household Cavalry , Lifeguards in red uniforms , Blues and Royals in dark blue uniforms they alternate duties at Horse Guards as part of their ceremonial duties . They are the two most senior regiments in the British Army and lead parades at ceremonial State occasions .

Thanks for the replies ❤️

I think Horse Guards arch started as the main gate to Whitehall Palace built in the early 16th century. When that royal residence burnt down in the 1690s, the king moved to St James's Palace on its opposite side. It became the main entrance to that palace but, to accommodate its new function, the front of the building had to become the back. It was rebuilt as it is now in the 18th century. Buckingham Palace is further from Hòrse Guards than St James's but the arch remains the ceremonial entrance to both of those royal residences.

😂😂😂

Per the photographer, it was a tourist. If it was one of the men on the horses it would have been clear. Even if it was one of the police it would have been more obvious.

😂😂😂😂
