The old man was wearing the regimental tie for the Brigade of Guards. The regimental colors were also on the man's hat band. As such the young Kings Guard would certainly have recognized the old man as a veteran of the Brigade of Guards and deserving of respect. In the UK, one does not wear a regimental tie unless you served with that regiment.

Thanks for explaining, i already was wondering how the young guard recognized his older colleague, thought the gentlemen was wearing a pin or something. But it were the colours.

Beautifully said. I used to get the same feeling when I would accompany my then 70 year old dad to air shows at MCAS Cherry Point, a U S Marine Corps Air Base in North Carolina. We would sit next to the barriers at the flight line and my dad would engage the 18-19 yoa Marines standing watch at the barriers. Those kids would hang on every word that dad or one of his old Marine buddies said. There truly is a brotherhood. Just like the Guards, once a Marine, always a Marine.

I love the respect shown between the old and the young soldiers. I am curious, how did the young guard recognized the gentleman, cause he saluted the gentleman as soon as he saw him. I'm assuming that he is well-known amongst the troops cause I didnt see that he was wear something to indicate that he was a retired Kings Life Guard. I was pleased that no tourists interrupted their chat. Someone else made a comment regarding manners and holding doors open for another person. I live in Canada and I regularly hold doors open for people and most of the time I get a thank you. If I dont hear a thank you I often say loud enough for the person to hear "your welcome", but that usually doesn't change this person's lack of manner. Its the same with the tourists in these videos, someone is taking a picture of another person and someone will walk right up and plant themselves for their picture directly in front of the others. Talk about rude. Sometimes people's actions are just really sad and pathetic. Love watching these videos. 🇨🇦

@@johnnunn8688 I doubt they queue up to take your photo on the door at Tesco's. Judging by your other posts, including that he was "probably their ex-Colonel" you're clearly a rather sad, never served Walt. You've not only never done public duties but very clearly never served, beyond possibly briefly in the NAAFI. Dream on, Walter.

@@johnnunn8688 not on public duties, you don't - you'd last about five minutes. Yet another 'I'm a King's Royal Guard ' fantasist. Very clearly, you've never served beyond your sofa - you've read some buzzwords, but you've no idea what they mean or who'd use them. Rather sad.

They talked! That was nice to see. Thank you to the older and the younger Guard!

A fine gentleman with some manners and a sense of mutual respect. Respect is bandied about far too frequently and often confused with common courtesy. Respect is earned. The days of tipping hats (apart from His Majesty at Ascot, which was really rather engaging), opening doors, standing up when a woman enters the room and so on.

Ever diligent sword at the ready,respect to the service. These are truly honorable men and animals.the small salute upon encountering one of thier own and the spoken words to a veteran of this service a priceless experience.

I have a feeling that the old boy has something to do with the Regiment (Probably the adjutant or someone like that) because as soon as the trooper saw him the sword went to attention and the old boy gave the correct response for someone wearing a Panama hat. He's army and someone ne high up in the Regiment.

I find the ridiculous posing, ( first scene ) which we see more and more, like some class b photoshoot, disrespectful and insulting to these magnificent guards.Who and where do these people think they are?????? The contrast with the smart, honourable former guard and the respect shown by the horse guard is just incredible !

I believe the older gentleman is one of the senior regemental officers if you notice at the end of the conversation he says "right carry on" which is not generally said unless your an officer

Once folk are moved back one policeman shound be at the double gates and the other 2 should be to the outside of the hoses to stop chancers. That would be more effective and efficient and look more professional than 3 gathered in the middle chattering.
