He must have been the CO.

@@peterrollinson-lorimer Obviously he has been kicked in the head by Ormonde!

Yea mucking out the stables

He was in a Household...thats about it.

@@donnastanley9969😂😂😂

I went along this area in Late 70s hardly anybody stopped to Gawp at the Guards .

Horse Guards is a magnet for them. They come out of the drains at night.

And to think they do it all just to defend a handful of people, who are literally JUST PEOPLE

@@johnchapman6013 London turned it into a tourist attraction.

He served his country for 20 years.

as I’ve said, years ago you were not allowed near the horses & guards. You had to stand a few feet away !

Maybe they need to go back to the way it was years ago, no touching the horses, you can still have you photo, but no touching anymore, as you’ll be a couple of feet away. Just a thought, then keeps the space around the guard & horse free, & just in case horse gets spooked, less danger to the public

they're only there for the tourists anyway, what do they expect?

You are not alone. I say it all the time. I wish they can stop allowing this.

I feel it is very unsafe to have the public near the guards and the horses. They are very vulnerable to a terrorist attack.

LOLOL

@@margaretflounders8510 frrr

Exactly....then he should know getter

Sure with his hog body line and sky arms...

You can tell he was by his attention to detail while he dresses.

A soldier can always recognise a soldier, I know, I've been commented on my posture, gait as well as general attitude; because those who know the military or have served still have some respect for what it stands for! I am now 60 and although I am not as fit or have the same physical, prowess as I did back then I would like to believe I can still hold my own and with honour!

@@iananderson1231 Especially British and Commonwealth countries the drill is so rigid and pounded into you. Not knocking any other counties its just the British style

If he was a former guard, then he should know better and show more respect.

Lol they'd give him room then

Taser tipped saber?

They are egoistical bullies with guns. Clueless.

from the perspective of the guy the police officer was the rude one. he just walks up to the guy and tells him to get back, get out of the way, as if everyone understands what's happening. all the guy had to do was say "changing of the guard, step back". and he would have understood why he was being told to step back and it wouldn't have come off as so rude. You just go up to someone and say "get out of the way" the persons just going to be confused as to what they are in the "way" of... police need to be able to communicate well with the public, and this guys limit is shouting vague commands at people... and they let him have a gun, but not actual intelligent people? christ.

They change out every hour.

@@dianekruger5977 and this office should have been capable of communicating that beyond shouting "get back" at people.

Most tourists do not listen to milder tones. I have watched plenty of videos like this where tourists think they can just do what they want.

Don't you miss the good old days?

I wrote what someone I knew experienced at the hands of the Met in "the good ol' days" but it was obviously a bit too much for YT so they deleted it. However, despite some of their excesses I would prefer to go back to the older ways regardless.

In the old days, our Police didn't resemble something that swept in from the sand dunes.

Old days were best days, where respect could be "quiet chatted" into knobheads.

@dylanandmolly3739 good old days as you call them are long gone now everyone's got a camera phone keeping the old bill in check thus avoiding a good kicking round the back alley, I'd say these are the good new days🤣

those police have no powers outside the gates.

You can tell you were in the Guards!

He should go on a world privacy tour. 😂

the crazies were and always will be with us ,they are just more visable with media covering them

I was in the Caribbean 🤣

It was the worst decision that was ever made - More like "loonies everywhere".

I think you mean “Carelessness” in the Community as well call it in psychiatry ! 👍🤣🤣🤣

Why? He hasn’t committed any crime

@@wecandothiswarriors Whatever happened to those good old offences such as "drunk & disorderly", "public nuisance", and "causing an affray"?

Yes he has, disturbing the peace. Behaving suspiciously warrants arrest. He could be a threat to public order. At least issue a fine, say £250 for being a dickhead and not moving on. Good start.

For what? Its a public pavement, thankfully they need a reasonable cause to arrest

@@JimReid-cb8lx They are MOD police and have no powers outside the gates.

'while tourist???'

@@gregtaylor6146 Yeah, I think this might be the actual drunk from the video posting here.

​@@gregtaylor6146typo,, white tourist.

toy gun go ahead find out if they r toy guns

Thank You. Guess people don't realize autocorrect or typo like other commentor.

God bless ya love N light from LIVERPOOL ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚔️🛡️⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That was a Londoner, clearly not a Chav.

He won't remember tomorrow but the cops will, he's on their naughty list. 😠

They are bitten all the time, especially if Ormonde is on duty. In one of the videos, Ormonde clamps down on some guys forearm and will NOT let go, the guy looks at the guard and says "he's biting me and wont let go" and the guard just shrugs. They can't sue even if they wanted, there are signs clearly saying "this horse may kick or bite" if they continue then its by their choice, which eliminates any chance of going to court.

@@Nobby76 Thank you for your input. My comment regarding "fencing off" was genuine, the bit about "going to court" was a certain amount tongue in cheek. However, I do remember a court case some years ago concerning someone who had stroked a dog and been bitten. There was a clear notice about it being a "dangerous dog". It was adjudged that the notice was no defence and the owner was fined and had to pay damages. I suppose it comes down to "wording" and "interpretation"??

Nah, perfect example of why Londoners shouldn't be allowed to drink before 6 pm.

not much of a tourist attraction if tourists were not allowed near them.

Most sensible comment yet👍

They were lucky he was such a sweetheart. Some horses would nip their fingers.

Horse probably wish to be Somewhere else.

I would think that the guards would choose the most docile/best trained horses available to limit the possibility of people being injured.

@@macadoom00 These horses are the best trained in the world. What has changed is the level of disrespect from the tourists who think the notices do not apply to them. Even horses with the best temperament can decide they have had enough, want to quit or react. Personally, I would like to see barriers to keep the people out of touching distance. I don't remember these problems when I lived in London in the sixties, and certainly not more than the occasional horse acting up.

Nasty f in C

Restraint? they have zero powers on a public footpath.

Or maybe it's because he wouldn't shut his mouth.

Mate they just smile and wave. Not fussed at all. lol

to stand around doing fa all day? they should be somewhere else doing actual police work, not acting as the royal families personal armed guard. meanwhile everyone else cant even protect their own homes with so much as a spoon or they get arrested. whatever they're getting paid its too much.

Not until they're all punished for twatish behaviour

yeah maybe one day we will get rid of the monarchy and actually have a decent police force again....

He knew they were powerless.

LOL, no they are not.
