In the video we get to see the typical 4 o’clock parade… However, tourists are in shock when they notice a giant 7Ft tall king’s guard on duty. This is clearly a very rare sighting as you don’t expect giants like that to be associated with the king’s guard. Hope you enjoy the video! Don’t forget to like and subscribe!

It must be very difficult walking,or doing anything in those boots, as there appears to be no ‘give’ in them. I think the guards do incredibly well considering and most of the time look very smart, give or take the odd soiling on the pants, which may come from the saddle.

@maryskinner1329 Жыл бұрын

Their boots & clothing is made specifically for each individual. If you interested in the soldiers ( both men & horses ) google ( The Queens Guards:A Year In Service ). You will watch these very guards ( both man & horse ) go through extensive training. It’s a mini series that takes you through everyday living from the moment they walk through the doors until their graduation. watching the horses getting playtime at the ocean is funny. You’ll get to know the guards by name , but mostly you get to see them laughing & having fun through out their training . I have a higher respect for both men & horses.

Even the end Guardsmen on the far right was slouched his head is bowed down instead of looking front and centre…. A complete shambles….Also the dismount was disgraceful the mounted guardsmen twisted his Body and ended up smashing the End of the Sword Sheath onto the Ground , Thats a Big Fail and the Sargent didn’t even shout at Him . 😢😢😢😢😢.
