@M-ARKY Are you sure thats the right pronoun? 🤔👍

This is a fact.

There have been a couple people yelled at in the US by the soldiers at the tomb of the unknown soldier in DC. Talking loudly, laughing, no sense at all of what they’re looking at or where they’re standing. Seem to think they're at a shopping mall or something.

So true. Some tourists forget to pack their brains when they travel.

They’re stupid because they think the soldiers are tourist attractions, these are real soldiers with real weapons that will hurt you if you come anywhere near the Queen and her property.

So so so correct sadly.......🥴

none english speaker

Doesn’t matter what language she speaks it’s disrespectful to do that, so go try that on your own country’s guard, madam.

The woman with the selfy stick and fake smile was a bit much .

@@zaftra português brazil

she is silly, this is a guard horse & you are not suppose to touch it, thats why the guard yelled at her. Perhaps she should go look for a race horse & take a winner's picture.

I wonder what would happen in their own country disrespecting the guards and their horses, i think they stand their shaking in their boots

@@orangeguppie6897I’ve been at the changing of the guard in Athens. It’s theatrical by comparison but there is respect shown to the soldiers.

@@Mounhas thank you, i believe it, i really do! As it should be!

⁠@@Mounhasme too. The hubby and me visited in 2019. I wonder how the Greeks would react to tourists acting like this 🙄

Pity Guards Can't use their swords .😊😅😂

In my place, tourists are not allowed to take pictures or selfies with the royal guards or do anything impolite.

Crazy people! I can't understand why they get so close to the horse just to take a picture! You never know how it will react if it feels crowded!

I agree with you 👍 👍

It does me too. And I'm a Yank, at that!

Good for that horse! You never, ever, ever interfere with a working animal. I hate to think about all the flap that no doubt resulted, though. Though I'd love to hear that the woman had been slapped with a large fine.

@@monicapdx yea exactly you wouldn’t try and grab a sniffer dog working for the police why would you try and grab the reins of the horse people are just very self centred and think the soldiers are their for there own enjoyment

@@wargey3431 Right, people just don't *think*. Or they truly don't understand the concept of a working animal. But really, how hard can it be? Numbskulls.

Here in Brazil, reports pointing to the financial decadence of the United Kingdom have been common. When I see people defending that the horse should hurt the Brazilian tourist, I realize, yes, that you, British, have reached the end.

@@isaacirancharoles6129 No mate you can't have the horse when its passed. We don't do that in the UK, in the UK we don't eat horse. ~Tropper

I really wished they started place some sort of barrier...this is disrespectful to soldier and horse....they are not photo props!

@@Maria-gg5yv I kinda wished the beautiful horse would bite the hair on the woman with the selfie stick.

People trying to prove they aren't afraid of these majestic animals.

There are horses around my neighborhood running free or tied to poles, I feed them but approach them carefully always-

@@leeannjohnson1808 Yeah, either that, or this woman grabbed the reins because the horse moved his head a lot and she felt insecure and wanted control? I don't know... The rider did the right thing though. The horse is always the riders responsibility! If you're not a beginner, of course!

@@colaislife The tourist in my eyes clearly grabbed the reins to keep the horse facing forward for her photo shot. She was happy to ruin other peoples photos before she made her move, no class or respect at all. Good on the rider for not purposefully knocking her to the ground.

Absolutely from a fellow horse owner 😉👍🇬🇧

MALE WOMAN AND IGNORANT

The horse probably knows we are all idiots.

He's a wanker. We pay his salary !!!!

I feel sorry for the soldier, having to put up with prats like that all day.

That sword!

good one, 🤣🤣

lol

It is said that we consistently underestimate the level of human stupidity. This video reminds us of that.

Especially when a foreign tourist in the UK.

Yep , try all the stupidity in Yellowstone park.

If that’s a question you are missing the question mark

Kings Horses

I know they’ve had become the King’s horses now…. Duuuuh..

Look at the horses mouth it’s in terrible pain they’re using a bad bit or a pinch bit to give the horse pain pure cruelty The soldier is an idiot and all the dumb people oh what a pretty horse never even notice

But the tourists had ZERO training. Utterly despicable!

Him? People are saying the guard is a woman.

We have to many different tourists coming to our country . they think it’s fun to be around out Soldiers and these beautiful horses .have respect when you are here in England .

@@Rose-eq1xm Absolutely Rose. 👍

I think that was a young man

They eat horses in many countries quite tasty as well. Not a bit of fat on them. yummy

@@peterperry5378 Well as fat has flavour , you’re not much of a food connoisseur are you.. 🙄🇬🇧

@@Ionabrodie69 Mutton dressed as lamb an odd piglet , but when in France a bit of bloody horses ass is a must.

My understanding is that these guards are combat trained and serving military. The behavior of people is a display of their ignorance and a sign I would like to pin on their back, "Too stupid to live".

Can't wait to go there and take a photo as well. What amazing history that country has and so beautiful.

I heard one of their horses died at some recent event. Very sad.

@@hearswhat8734 The Police Horse at Noting Hill?

Seriously!! I wouldn’t have the patience. What a nightmare.

What if one had a knife on them

Disrespectful was this ridiculous soldier with the Brazilian tourist. Your country is nothing but a decadent nation, riddled with hardship, unemployment and poverty. I am proud of Brazil.

@@isaacirancharoles6129 nope. The tourist was disrespectful.

The rider did the right thing! The horse is his responsibility, not her's! But I think she grabbed the reins for having control. The horse moved his head quite much so probably she was insecure.

I started riding hoses when I was six years old, and one of the first things I was taught was to always ask, rider may I approach, never run up to the horse, walk then let the horse smell you before you pet it, and NEVER try and feed the horse anything unless you ask first.

She is italian...it's typical of them to touch everything...sense of entitlement and culture I guess.

@@colaislife not her job to control the horse , that's the Guards responsibility. It was another example of Me Me Me ... must have been a Yank . Lol I can say that becouse I'm a yank also

She looked over at someone in the crowd before she grabbed the reins. My guess is that she was trying to move the horse's head at a better angle for a photo. People like that seem to think that the world exists as a backdrop for their souvenir pictures.

Is there any video?

@@Desertfox18 I’m not sure. It was so long ago….probably before the days of everyone having a cell phone.

I've watched a number of videos like this over the years and in the ones that you can hear someone speaking it is usually a foreign tourist (this goes for these kinds of displays in any country, ie, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington). They obviously never learned to just keep your hands to yourself, follow the other tourists and most of the time you will be fine.

All tourists no respect for anyone or anything anymore common sense seems to have disappeared 🙄

@@mortimerbrewster3671 Too many think it is simply a show / pretend / fairytale. They are real guards, guarding a real King. Probably Queen when this was filmed.

No they are abundant now

He is a he on the horse!!!!!! Good lord...

@@buttercupdudden2644 A soldier with no beard? And quite small in stature. Appears to be a woman. Other commenters thought so as well.

She???

@@junepearl7993 Voice as well, not really deep enough. And they have women in the cavalry regiments (King's Own Royal Horse Artillery lot are 50% women 50% men)

And, in the end, it doesn’t really matter: a soldier is doing their job, and doing it well.

They did. Did you not see the "booth" the horse and rider were in?

They are for photographs for tourists. You just aren't supposed to touch the leads or it will lead the horse out of their respective positions, only the guard's can control them.

@Real Aiglon no it is not! There duty was to protect the Queen and now the King, horse and guard are there doing an important job! So their duty is not to be a photo prop! 🙄🙄

reins

@@hemingway7952 Arrgh!! Thanx for pointing that out!

@@hemingway7952 can’t see the mistake??

She obviously didn't understand. After the rider shouted at her, she said in Spanish: No se puede tocar? Which means: Is it not allowed to touch?

@@suzannesmith5953 I corrected it.

Exactly! But it's a female on the horse. She just has to use a lower voice to exert authority. USAF Veteran here and was expected, trained to use the same tone when calling cadence, marching a squadron of 5 flights. Still use it when having to, just a few times, needed to yell "Back off!". I was in danger from a stranger in public. Make a scene Claire. It will keep you safe. God bless.

I say this all the time….Didn’t anyone ever teach these people to look and not touch? I work in retail management and people think absolutely nothing of coming in and destroying beautiful elaborate displays that take many hours to create, moving merchandise around, touching everything, and pretty much turning the stores upside down leaving others to come behind them and clean up the terrible mess’s they’ve made. Ignorant and entitled doesn’t even begin to describe the general public nowadays! It’s truly disgusting!

My father took me on a visit when I was young, and the wife had a collection of cut glass animals. The wife asked if I would touch them, and my father said, "no she never grabs nick knacks." I immediately rushed over and began grabbing them. I'm sure I usually didn't touch, but perhaps those where too lovely to not want to hold. 🤗 I did manage to embarrass my father, who recounted the tale every time we were near the house, even into my late fifties. 😁

@@coleengoodell7523 I call it using my dog trainer's voice

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think that is a good idea letting the public so close. I couldn't tell that is a female soldier. Looks very young

Moneyyy

It's a treat but respect for both horse and rider is the only currency asked.

@@lindadaniel9416 well call the palace and tell them what YOU think the procedure should be!! I'm sure they'd agree that YOU know best!! 🤣🤣

They obviously don't mind tourists taking pics. If they wanted to stop it, they'd stop it!! It's not hard.

Physical barriers are ruining experiences - the guard handled it perfectly and so did the horse. The problem in the world today is there is too much protection. People need to learn boundaries exist even when there are no posts and that doesn't happen unless dumbass people like this learn the hard way.

The idiots are everywhere, and I’m ashamed that a great deal of them seem to be fellow Americans. Condolences to the citizens of Th United Kingdom on the death of Her Majesty, The Queen.

Invisible electrical barrier.... that would be fun to watch .

Or just a guard that can actually use their sword lol

How jolly good that would be. A bloody good show! 😂 No more dumb insensitive tourists and the King’s Guards won’t have to deal with their stupid antics anymore. Someone should drop a note in King Charles’ suggestion box, hopefully he’ll read it and immediately order all the palace gates be electrified. I’d pay to see that! 😅

Oh, give a rest! You nothing about the Queen's Guard or the horses!

@@deborahwylde1410 you really don't know that about me! How would you?! Here, watch this video of a soldier taking control of the situation with an irritated horse that shows a good way of handling it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icp-Z9SCvtK9g6s.html

@@HYTELES no need to say "I'm an equestrian and former trainer" though. No one likes a show off.

@@HYTELES if he's that irritated than the guard shouldn't have him there. WITH ALL OF THE PEOPLE

@@trawlins396 There is a warning sign. It doesn't mention common sense about not touching a rider's horse.

Of course people will want to take a picture of themselves with them and they understand that but you should also remember to keep and good distance for them and give them the respect they are duty.

Putting yourself in the picture shows a lived experience. That's like saying, "I went to Disneyland but you can't see me in any pictures because why would I put myself in them - it's about Disneyland." The woman who took a million pictures with her selfie-stick definitely overdid it. Many people got their pictures on the other side of the horse before she finally went away.

@@mortimerbrewster3671 Just the fact you were able to take the pictures is proof of the experience. If I take a picture of a building, site, or event, it's because I want a reminder of the building, site, event. I don't need a picture of "me." And if I show the pictures to anyone else its to show them a picture of the building, site, or event, not a picture of me. Imagine looking in a magazine or book and the photographer used a selfie stick so they were in every picture.

@@daniel_sc1024 Pictures in books and magazines taken by professional photographers aren't taking them for their vacation memories. They are a purpose that they are getting paid for. I look at pictures of my grandparents (who are all dead) on their trips and value them because I get to see them in their lives and experiences. These pictures are not just for you but even if they were you will look back at them 10, 20, 30 years down the road, remember the day and maybe even laugh that you wore that awful outfit or wore your hair that way. It's for your FUTURE memories, not now.

@@mortimerbrewster3671 It all boils down to what the focus of the picture is. If I want to remember a cathedral I visited, I want pictures of the cathedral. I don't need to see myself to remember the trip to the cathedral. It would be different if a particular event in my life was the focus: "Here's Daniel scaling the fence of Buckingham Palace" or "Here's Daniel getting mauled by a bear."

Bitless or not, horses still bite.

Easier to damage airways also

I agree with you change bitless.this

Bits don't stop them from biting

A bit being used by uneducated hand can cause pain, in educated hands a bit is barely noticeable to the horse. In any hands a bitless bridle will impede the horses airways. So life long education of rider’s including constant refreshers on the fundamentals is what animal lovers should be advocating.

Pretty much my response. Just imagine her trying that with a K9 detail. Pure entitlement.

Give me a break. The monarchy has no more importance than an insect crawling on the ground. They are Disneyland. It's all a show. Wake up.

For us. Brazilians, the English monarchy is nothing more than a samba school parade. The guard was stupid, rude.

What 'fun' for your parents.

LA, l once hid as a child!!!

She reversed

She was ignorant actually.

And often fought in Afghanistan and Iraq (most recently). They are often regarded as only there for show, actors acting a part, and very few bother to look and check exactly who/what they are when they AREN'T doing public guard duty. So ignorant - and not just of the guards in London, I've seen similar comments about both the Swiss Guard in the Vatican and the Norwegian servicemen (when they were recently in Edinburgh for the tattoo and were videoed at Edinburgh Zoo presenting an award to their superior officer, which really garnered some very offensive comments from the totally ignorant and disrespectful). They seem to think that because they have a long tradition and wear dress uniforms that reflect that tradition they are no different to Hollywood/Disney actors playing a part at Disneyland or Universal Studios. Utterly pathetic and seems to be something that is becoming more and more common, certainly when I was a kid (and I grew up in NZ) we knew that all the the guards - no matter how fancy their dress uniforms - were serving officers in their respective countries militaries.

I once met a tourist in Japan who was complaining about tourists

Complete nut job

who the lard arse

That was a man, baby!

Yes, because in today's world it seems most appear to think that they are no different to the actors playing roles in Disneyworld/EuroDisney. Read some comments on some of the other sites, absolutely appalling how ignorant they are. And not just the British military, the Norwegian Military in dress uniform come in for a lot of comments comparing them to Disney/Hollywood guards in fairytales (recent visit for the tattoo when they visited their commander in Edinburgh Zoo - several offensive comments about him as well).

Apparently so.

The horse and guard are there for their amusement, they're a tourist attraction. The police do the actual guarding and respond to threats, all of these areas are swarming with heavily armed police. Having said that the guards should be treated with complete respect, and the horses even more so. They add a very rich layer of history for visitors, but they are doing a job and should be admired from a suitable distance, something that seems to be too difficult for the selfie generation.

@NattieChristopher such a shame. I was thinking about that horse just standing there on one spot. It didn’t seem right. I hadn’t thought about the bridle. Certainly their could switch out horses every helad hour to hour. So their stalls are small and they don’t get room to walk or run?

@@reflectionsinthebible3579 They do get switched out every hour, they do NOT spend all their lives in a tiny stall, they certainly turn out far more than a couple of times a year, and they spend their holidays up on the beaches in Norfolk every year. He is talking a lot of codswallop and obviously knows nothing about the cavalry at all. There are videos on KZfaq showing the horses, where they live, how they are cared for, them on holidays running on the beaches and swimming in the seas and more than a few showing them out on parade in London doing their stint of guard duty on a regular basis. If you like horses, look up videos of the Kings Royal Horse Artillery (and they don't live in small stalls either) and they includes videos of them all running in the surf along the beaches in Norfolk.

Good

Was kinda hoping. Okay not for real but back off lady!

Well that’s how it looked

These horses ARE huge! I got to see them up close on a trip to London once. They are absolutely magnificent! I want one! LOL

@@ohcliff1030 How many hands do you think they are? My largest horse was over 17 hands. These look well over 17 hands. Magnificent animals and well behaved In spite of the ignorant humans.

@@troyannbladsacker1811 My tallest horse was a 17H TB. Excellent horse. These horses are bigger bodied than any TB that I’ve ever seen. I’m pretty sure they have some draft horse in their lineages, and I don’t doubt that many of them are over 17H.

@@ohcliff1030 My largest horse was an appendix, half quarter horse, half thoroughbred. Great grandson to Secretariat. He was well over 17 hands. Magnificent. I'm only 5'2". When I would groom him standing at his side, no one could see me lol. These horses look even larger than him.

@@ohcliff1030 I stood near a police horse that was 19 hands it was huge but absolutely magnificent.

Obviously they're ok w ppl taking pics w the horse. If not, there would be someone there keeping them away. Im sure it happens EVERY time the horse comes out. It's not a new thing. And its very easy to prevent. Don't be so sanctimonious.

@@trawlins396 hardly sanctimonious, just stating a fact, pictures are one thing but grabbing the reins is an absolute no no. Did you happen to notice the sign reminding ppl that horses will kick or bite, have you ever seen that happen, because I have. Obviously these magnificent horses are well trained.

@@joaniegoodrow548 grabbing the reins is a lot different than just standing there and getting a pic. She was the only one who did something wrong. If they wanted to stop tourists from taking pics, they'd stop it! They understand how important the tourist economy is. Everything about the Monarchy, the Palaces , etc are a HUGE draw for tourism. That's the reality.

They must get sick of being treated like objects

All the beefeaters are retired regimental sergeant majors of the British Army. You don't mess around with 'em

I doubt many soldiers enjoy that duty.

You guys are being way too melodramatic. The only thing they were doing was standing on the side trying to get a pic. YES it was annoying and NO I definitely wouldn't do that but the only truly foolish one was the woman that grabbed his face harness. THAT was just silly to do! What I don't understand is if the guard is purposefully sitting there for tourists to get pics or what?

@@trawlins396 it is a bit of both. They are on guard duty but they also know that they are a tourist attraction, so photos will.be taken. The woman who tried to pull the reins clearly has no horse knowledge, doesn't matter who the rider is, don't touch the controls without permission. The other inconsiderate was the woman with the selfie stick who hogged the photo op for more than anyone else. But yes the guards have to be especially patient, as does the horse to carry out such duties.

It’s mainly foreigners acting like twats.

The horse doesn’t care
