Sadly it won't happen as the world and its occupants are becoming more and more selfish, egotistical, self-centred and me, me, me. Each year the tourists become more stupid then the year previous. After watching these channels for years I have become more cynical, but realistic about the situation.

I am pleased to say a lot of people do say thank you to the Guards than you think. 😃

Mucha gente no ,solo uno o dos ,son mayoría los mal educados ,es una realidad, se tiran de turistas,y son ineptos ,como serán en sus países 😞🤦

@@mariaesthervega5529 I hope they learn. It starts with the parents - then the children copy.

@@uk1922 That's good to know.

don't you realise he is a rough sleeper.. and may have mental health problems? its written all over him.

No, the majority things they are just for show, sadly.

By q😅

There's no predicting what inebriated or mentally ill people might do.

Not for this dude, he's a bit nuts. In another video he's clearly drunk and much more annoying.

He was on a PUBLIC path, the place is a tourist attraction, there is a museum inside plus a kiosk selling selling souvenirs!

@@eilidhsomerville5554 Exactly…!

@@eilidhsomerville5554 The King' s house is not a public place and His Guards are not clowns to take pictures with them, nobody should not be allowed there. Would you allow to have thousands of people coming in your house each and every day?

@alexhaplau-colan5414 The man was on a PUBLIC footpath. Horse Guards Parade is officially listed as a tourist attraction and has opening and closing hours. The Household Cavalry Museum inside is also a tourist attraction and even has open days when they allow the public/tourists to meet the horses and soldiers. They are also on ceremonial duty only. That means they have zero power of authority. The horses themselves will NEVER see any sort of active duty. They only ever do this, take part in pageants like Trooping the Colour and appear at occasional horse shows like Olympia and Windsor. The ONLY times the riders see active duty is when they are deployed on active duty overseas or when they are helping out instances of natural disasters like floods or assisting police in mass crowd control or bomb disposal.

@@eilidhsomerville5554 It’s been amazing to me how many people don’t understand that much of the “pomp and circumstance”, of the Royal grounds, are meant for the tourists, and to draw them to England.

That is generally what these tourist attractions are for.

​@@george-ev1dq WRONG it's not a tourist attraction it's a tradition that spans over 500 years.

@@barbaradyson6951 If it's not a tourist attraction why is it promoted as such in all of the London and UK tourist guides and website

@@barbaradyson6951 You really believe that that a good deal of it isn’t for tourists?

It's now just too much...far too nany people

I think that he might have had some mental challenges and possibly deaf? He was doing sign language but, I kind of felt sorry for him. He is obviously struggling.

@@nikkkis90 Yes it looked that way, and he didn't seem to be all there.

We've seen this guy before. He was moved on by the police after making the same sort of hand gestures in front of the horses a week or two ago....

Drugged up maybe?

I think that more protection would be offered by the heavily armed soldiers and police officers than by a saber bearing horseman. These ceremony's are just that ceremonial. There is a historical element that is all. I think it is cruel to make these magnificent horses stand still for hours on the pavement. If it's not for pomp and ceremony and a photo op than what practical purpose does it serve?

Alot of other countries/cultures lack real pomp and ceremony, real tradition, this is what they are selling for tourist revenue. Sadly at the expense to the safety of the troops horses and the tourists. A possible remedy would be to allow just organized tours access to the sights, hold the tour guides accountable for their customers actions. Might be safer and more lucrative for all. I agree, poor horses.

I’ll bring the hay.

They're going to a posh French place that sells _'Horse-doovers'_ -- ✌😎

Ustedes también vayan a limpiar sus casa y dejen de hacerse los graciosos ,inútiles , vergüenza ajena me dan ,😡🤬😤

😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉😊

@@Pax.Alotin Neigh wrong with that 🐴

Proud to be British.

What is the difference between a gatesman and a chitsman guard

And maybe deaf

These aren’t the ones who aren’t supposed to tallk…

It's a very old beautiful building, not some suburban new build. Numpty.

If your talking about the officer with the banded hat, he is spot checking his men prior to the change over. He went post to post and gave a lookover.

@shecat1964 Don’t worry about these horses, if you had watched a few, you would see that the horses only stand there for ONE hour. They are well looked after as you can tell by their condition. They have holidays by the sea, and other breaks. In the hot weather they ARE offered water, some take it some don’t. Putting down Astro turf could cause a trip hazard. The main problem is the tourists who maul their faces, and grab the reins thereby hurting their mouths. Some quite enjoy the interaction with the public and others not so much. So don’t worry, if a horse decides they have had enough they are taken back in! There is always a hay net waiting!

Those horses are charged every hour on the hour. They are taken care of better than the men. The horses are trained soldiers, very well taken care of.

NO LAWS were broken.. they put him to one side.. they cannot deal with everyone at once. like to see YOU do better.

​@mariahoulihan9483 The man seemed drunk because at one time he almost fell trying to turn around. Then there is the saying that you cannot fix stupid.

@@mariahoulihan9483 It wouldn't be hard for anyone in uniform to do better than that police officer did, the man basically ignored him.

That guy has some issues!
