Today is armed forces day 2024
John, I found an article which was talking about the sourcing of horses for the British Army in Ireland and found this reference to the King's Troop horses which may help with the "sizing" of their horses. "While the Household Cavalry select only black horses (greys for the trumpeters and band), the horses of the King’s Troop are selected to be a certain type and range of colours. The six guns, each weighing 1.5t, are drawn by teams of six horses, each team called a sub-division, and range from light bays in A Sub-division, to blacks in F Sub-division.
The front horses are called leads and are the largest of the team at around 16hh, the centre horses are around 15.3hh and the wheelers at the back are shorter and stockier at 15.2hh. As with horses of the Household Cavalry, once the initial training is done, the horses (known at this stage as remounts) of the Royal Artillery then move to London to complete their training with the specialist equipment". The King's Troop is based at Royal Artillery Barracks Woolwich.
Yes your right we are all paying for it or at least those of us who pay taxes are and it is worth every penny and always have done, but think how much it would
cost if we had an President instead, darn sight more.🧐
If a donation made upon entering might work better than an actual payment fee. For many tourists, costs of visits add up especially if you have a family.
When the, Gunners family came, that was priceless. I'm sure they're proud!❤😊
Today is Armed Forces day. It's a day when the nation comes together to show support and appreciation for the men and women who defend the country and its interests worldwide.
U are right it is but what sad it seems like people don't care anymore 😢
Yes I've just seen the red arrows fly over behind my house really low
Love the names they give there horses popcorn and burrito are great
@jayjohnson8426 lmao I totally read that wrong I was like wth u can't hive a horse burrito
@@jayjohnson8426😂😂😂, I do too
That's a nice surprise for her family to show up made her day with a smile
Lovely moment for both father and daughter
Hey everyone, don't forget to hit the thumbs up....this is the best guard-watch channel. Let's help it grow...🎉🎉❤
These female Guards are small but mighty. Like they say, dynamite comes in small packages!! They’re so amazing. ❤❤❤
Brought a proud tear to my eye for the family of that gunner. Just love families who get up,at 5am to come down to the city to let their daughter know how much they love her 👏I hope she achieves all her ambitions but never more proud for them all than right now.❤
Hey parents. Thanks for your sacrifices in supporting your daughter. Greetings from Fremantle Western Australia 🇦🇺
What a lovely surprise to have your dad telling everyone how proud he is of you, not something that happens every day, what a wonderful surprize , God bless you and your family.
My son Retired from US Navy 2 years ago after 22 years
Thankyou to our Armed Forces past and present We are Proud of you All. 👑🇬🇧💂♂️🇬🇧✌🇬🇧🐎🇬🇧💖🇬🇧😄🇬🇧🌹
I think we should all try to get John to 100K he is the best London Vlogger!!!
By far the best vloger
Throughly enjoy your Videos John
Best vloger and sick in head just love his sense of humour thankyou
💯 pc agree
I would love to thank all the men and woman who serve and give their lives to keep everyone safe. They do alot and some people never know how much they go threw just to make sure everyone is safe. I appreciate them so much that words could never explain how much I appreciate them.
As much as I love the other Guards, I look forward to seeing Artillery uniforms. I think their uniforms are awesome.l and horses spectacular
А я скучаю по гвардейцам,они такие красивые и величественные.А ещё очень скучаю по Арни,Ормонду и Тору( мой любимый усатик).
They also look more comfortable.
We have the best Armed Forces in the world, because my son was part of the forces family. Love you son. So proud.
Her family must be very proud of her, and her service to the country.
What a lovely family. They must be so proud of her. Greetings from West Yorkshire.
Great video Mr City Walks thanks very much from the gunners Dad 👍🏻👍🏻
So nice you were able to visit your daughter at work today. You have a lovely family and glad John (Mr. LCW) was able to capture on his video for you.🐴🐴
You picked the right time to see your daughter and John being there to record it was the icing on the cake 😀. Standing there so proud with your sign was a joy to see ( my daughter would have killed me 😀) . Hope you enjoyed the rest of the day , love to all of you 🤗🤗🤗
It was my pleasure to meet you and your wonderful family. Made my day! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mr Gunner’s Dad what a very smart professional gunner your daughter is ! Proud Dad moment thoroughly deserved 😊
Thank you to all the families who support their troopers! Your sacrifices are not forgotten
I loved that exchange with dad and daughter!! That was amazing!!!! He looked so, so proud of his little girl.
These smaller bays seem more calm, friendly. The troopers family was lovely.
Loved the family surprise! Dad’s sign was priceless. You could tell how proud they were of their daughter. Hope they have a chance to visit. Beautiful day, John. Thanks for your filming and narration…….from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
Hi John, another great day! Such great interaction with the gunner’s family, appreciate your wonderful attitude with family! Fascinating shots of Big Ben today!
I'm an American. And, I think your idea is good, and, sensible. I am very interested in the, Culture. And, being, Black... I get excited when I can see, "People of, color" there, working, and, serving their country!❤👏🏽👏🏽❤
Yes. Puts rest to all that ' racist' nonsense. Thank you and God bless you❤
@marydiamond7906, I think it’s wonderful too but sadly there are still people who don’t like it
Was lovely to see the smiles and the proud parents with their daughter and her beautiful horse. Great capture John: Kiwi
How lovely you can hear the pride for their daughter in their voices.❤
I'm amazed these horses handle box duty so well. They can't be used to folks so close, and petting them, not in their usual line of work.
Lovely to see her proud parent s I d be proud too nice to see
The huge black horses are gorgeous, and their nippy behavior is fun, but... I absolutely love these small bay horses and their lady riders because they are so sweet and lovely!
Bays.
They're Bay.
@@juliaforsyth8332it is a beautiful colour❤
Those parents must be so so proud ✝️🙏🏼🌹
What a beautiful walk this morning. Thanks John
I have never seen these Uniforms on duty at horse guards in I've been watching this channel for over 2 years now. They're very striking just as the Blues and Royals I absolutely love that they're on different horses as well
So special when guards family visit, the pride on parents and guards faces 😊 ❤️
John are we allowed to ask your general education, previous type of profession and how many languages you speak? Would love to know not specifics just general. I’m fascinated by your etiquette, grasp of language and kindness. I’m just a Texas grandmother who enjoys your tasteful, entertaining videos. Thank you DD
I am a US civilian who has worked for Dept of Defence contractors for a yr with Army and 3 yrs with the Air Force they fortunately have the same rank system. This US Navy is totally different but I think similar to British navy, I worked in a company with 100 computer engineers and I was the only female. Some of the company guys were perfect idiots and jerks, but every service person was always polite and helpful, so I thought it was the least I could do was to address them properly by their correct rank. One night when my shift ended at 11 pm and I just left the base and was a 1/3 mile down the road. I had a flat tire. For my job I had to wear a suit and nice clothes that you had to send to the cleaners. Just as I put my flashers out and was getting spare tire out of the boot a young Spec 4 came running down the road with rifle and yelling stop. I thought as it was my first week at that Air Base I had done something incorrectly. He said please let me change that tire for you, may I put my rifle on the back seat with the door open. There were 4 guards on duty at the main gate and since he was in sight with his rifle apparently is was ok. I said thank you and we chatted about our home towns while he worked and I slipped in and asked if he would be on duty the next night, Since he had previously checked my ID and saw I had a high security clearance and a high level parking pass he answered yes and explained their shift system which was interesting, I had only asked so I could bake a box of cookies for him and his mates the next night.. Another night I had to fix something at a remote station in a bad part of town. and some local guys on the corner started harassing me, a carload of off duty airmen recognized me and stopped and offered to watch my car, my pass was not valid at this station so I had to park on the street. It only took 10 minutes to change a fuse and run a test program but I was very glad I had always been nice to everyone no matter their rank. Also nice that my whole car was still there. It really does pay to be nice to others.
I agree with you John. People should have to pay to go into the yard and definitely issue only a few license to film. They should start with those like you and Buska who have been there a long time and are proven to be very respectful of the guards and horses. I would gladly pay to see . I think it would definitely curtail most of the problem people.
So few things in life are free I think it's great this part of our culture is accessible to all. It makes me proud to be British that we can cope with things others wouldn't dream off no where in the world would you find the equivalent of this. The personnel and horses do a grand job well done all and thank you.
I really enjoyed seeing the uniforms and the two horses have beautifully collared coats. Thank you for showing this today, Jon. 💂♀♥
Popcorn, Burrito and Mushroom......LOL
Popcorn is a beauty 😍
I fully agree with charging tourists to enter the yard and making those like you, John to be licensed. Not that I don't watch any others, but yours are so much better and educational. I love the commentary. I also am not fond of the ones who only do shorts. I am American but my ancestors are from England and Ireland. You are a national treasure because of your pride in you country, your knowledge, and your total sense of showing proper respect by th tourists and locals alike.❤❤👍
What a magical day,London looks amazing. Ty for your service 💂♂️🐎✨️💖
Thank you for all your videos John. I don’t get to go out much so I love watching your videos and seeing all the magnificent horses and guards. I live in the uk and have never been to see the horse guards in person so you’re videos are the next best thing. Thank you for all you do xx
Good morning John Thank you for the walking tour of the city Love the horses and guards Nice that her family came by to see her You have a good day
Thanks again John for a great video!
What a wonderful surprise for her! Must be hard to see your family standing there and not being able to jump off the horse and give them a hug. She was so professional and composed, hope she has a wonderful time when she comes off duty 😊 xx
LOVED the family visit and dad's sign.
Re Japanese flag. I thoroughly enjoyed all the videos I saw of the visit by the Emperor ans Empress. Charming couple, loved her. I looked at several Japanese videos, translated the comments. Chatters were so grateful to the UK for the warm welcome given to their rulers and very impressed with the pomp and ceremony.
The horse in the non haunted box should be called radar the way his ears are turing independently and never stop turning it reminds me of a radar dish
Sweet glad you caught it she’s a beautiful young lady gunner 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖
Good afternoon, John, what a brilliant sunny day in London!
It’s fun to see the horses in the box interacting with the horses on the street… they could tell you a lot 😅.
Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you for filming such a beautiful morning.
Thank you for give us the information about the Guards and Gunners. Also have a wonderful weekend John. One more thing I want to see a picture of you in your pink shorts.
Thank you for all the info on the Kings Troop. I have learnt so much about HCAV from your videos and love all the information you and a lot of the viewers provide on your channel.
Great video today and family of that gunner were just lovely.
After such an imposing cavalry black's names like rommel, invader or overlord, here comes food names for these sweeter calmer horses lol popcorn, burrito, mushroom.. perfect for summer vibe
The horses are gorgeous. Their coats show they are very well cared for.
Was lovely to see the gunner's family pay her a visit!! Popcorn is beautiful!
Annapolis, the USNA academy. So training to be officers
WOW, the horses shrunk!! 😂 Just playing around. But, you don't realize just how big HCAV horses are until you get a comparison. These are pretty horses, but it's a shock after seeing our favorites.
The cavalry blacks are Irish draughts, big working horses, these bay's look tiny stood in the box
@@paula622 yes, the horses are regular size I guess, but small in comparison. I didn't realize just how big the black horses are
Pink budgie smugglers 😂😂😂. That's just put me off my tea thanks very much !😑 A licence for those filming on a regular basis yes ! So many have jumped on the bandwagon of Horse Guards and post videos with no idea what they are filming and sometimes use despicable titles just to get views ! Unlicensed tour groups are the same .
A big Hello to the Gunners family from Yorkshire , perfect timing a long journey I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day 😊.
What a glorious morning , thanks John for getting up early for us your viewers xxx
We are so so proud of all of our military. They are so brave and so loyal. We could learn a lot from them.
Also, I've learned to wake up early in any city to get videos and photographs. My favorites are from a very very winter morning in Paris. No one out, no lines for the first tours of Notre Dame.
Yes, we did exactly the same thing when we were making our overseas trips - out as early as possible in the morning, watching cities "come awake", and often getting very different videos/photos of highly photographed, well-known tourist sites. Being able to get into places such as cathedrals, art galleries/museums, palaces before the hordes descended also made experiences far more enjoyable. Monet's water garden at Giverney first thing in the morning, before the tourists coaches arrived, was breathtaking.
@@heatherharvey3129We loved Giverney. It’s a place I’ll never forget! I have such fond memories of visiting there.
I did the same thing in Venice a few years ago. It was magical, although I got lost!😂
1:48 WOW WOW WOW shot! Thank you John.
@londoncitywalks today is armed forces day here in UK
Popcorn is such a great name 😂
It gives me a happy feeling to watch the troopers get excited when they’re parents show up, my best wishes to all these troopers, I do feel a sort of kinship to them I’m a Vietnam vet USAF 1965-69, I also enjoy your videos and all your comments made during them so stay safe and keep videotaping and I’ll keep watching a friend from Florida USA
Thank you for your service
I so agree with everything you are saying, John ❤
Your idea of paying is great.cannot understand why they haven't done it .the horses wouldn't be crowded .the money could go to the museum and fixing the place up.
That was awesome !!, I can't imagine the feeling.... seen your baby daughter on duty, just beautiful.
What a beautiful day in London. Good morning from Atlanta, Georgia 🇺🇸. Love seeing the sights and your comments being both informative and hilarious. Thank you John for the best on you tube.
Good Morning John! Loved the early walk, and seeing the Navy men passing by! I was once married to a navy man! I love the uniforms on these Troopers! The horses are so much smaller than the Blues and Red! I think that’s a great idea, to charge a fee to enter the yard!
My god I didn’t know the Gurkhas weren’t payed the same as our regular army That’s a damn disgrace. Those brave men deserve to be treat equally. Shameful.
I believe they didn't or still don't get a pension. The actress Joanna Lumley has campaigned for years for the Ghurkas. Her father was commanding officer of a troop of Ghurkas in WW2. She was born in India.
Morning John…have a great pride day!!😎🌻🌻
US Navy love them they do a great job we are proud of them, you show such beautiful places thank you
Thank you John for another great video. Was lovely seeing the Troopers family pay her a visit. Those Troopers horses are beautiful.
I love it when Parents show up. Enjoy your comments and when you talk to people
What a wonderful greeting, John. It was lovely to see the US Sailors. Nice for all nations to celebrate Armed Forces Day. We have it on Memorial Day Navy's from around the world. 😊
Loved this video with her Dad and family💚💚💚
You recently asked what a horse costs, 5,000 fun for children, to 10,000 euros for a trained horse, without maintenance costs. Then the large one, which I suspect, includes a Frisian horse, because of the blackness and the large size, well that can cost up to 15,000 euros, a thoroughbred can cost up to 50,000 euros. It also costs a lot of money every month to maintain them, plus the vet bill, it is an expensive hobby!!
The Household Cavalry horses are not They are Thoroughbred Irish Light Draft crosses and bred in Ireland . They are bought as four year olds , unbroken, so certainly aren’t 15k euros !
The Gunner's hat is a Busby. Tour guides and media photographers should be licenced, having passed an exam. I had a licence to show my art on the streets of Westminster.
Wonderful. Lovely chat with parents
Thanks 😊 for a another great video keep up the good work . God bless you and your family 🙏💕🥰
London looks great for Armed forces Day. Respect 🙏 all the Men and Women who serve in the armed forces 👏 🙌
I'm not sure why such a large segment of central London has to be shut down for anything other than something very patriotic.
Not sure what you mean?
@@sylviekins A closing off of such a large, busy area of the city hurts so many folks just trying to get somewhere via traffic. It should seldom be done and only for an occasion relating to the UK in general. Just my opinion.
There is an event called Fleet Week John when Navy boats from around the world visit different ports. My daughter was visiting New Orleans with a friend about 10+ years ago when it was on. She said it was amazing and New Orleans was in full party mode 😂.
That dad made it a special day she will never forget❤
Just love the family touch! 🌞
Браво родителям, спасибо что вырастили гвардейца могут гордиться,и с праздником всех гвардейцев
King’s Troop enlisted are gunners, not guardsmen, which actually only applies to the Foot Guards. Household Cavalry are troopers. 😊
A proud dad, indeed. Glad to see the signage observed.
100% agree with licensing .They should make you the official RUclips video/documentary maker for Horse Guards! ❤
That was Magnificent John!! Great to see the Gunners family i bet they are so very proud i know i would. Love the walk first thing everything so bright and beautiful. I agree with you 💯 i think people should pay to go in horse Guards definitely!! Thank you John Blooming Marvellous that was Stay Safe ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧 P.S John the horse's name is POPCORN it sounded funny because the lady came from Yorkshire 🤭
Hi The RHA (Royal Horse Artillery) are based at Woolwich, where the Royal Artillery were originally. They used to be based at St John's Wood.
OMG! Middies from Annapolis, US Naval Academy!!!!
John, you probably know this already. Trafalgar Square will also be closed on Sunday for the Canada Day celebration (even though July 1 is Canada Day). It's free admission - no tickets required! Canada 🇨🇦 🐴🐴
As always, thank you for allowing us to join in on a day in London!
Thank you John for your narrative while making your video, I'm from America and it's nice to have the video I'm watching explained as you go, the first time I happened onto a different video they walked around a little but didn't say a word, I had no ideal what was going on so I stopped watching, the next time I happened to tune into one of yours as you were coming to the yard , wonderful, interesting, and educational
Lovely family
License would be good plus admission charge would be a great idea!!🌻😎
Thanks for the morning stroll. Would look forward to a ride on the Ferry. Thanks for all your hard work.
Love seeing the proud parents ❤️
John, evidently the King's Troop are quartered at Woolwich and transported in to central London for ceremonial duties.
Yes, they used to be in St. John’s Wood, north London. Sadly their historic barracks was sold several years ago for condominiums.
Úžasná, milá a hrdá rodina miluji ty úsměvy a návštěvy. 🤗😍Mnoho pozdravů z České republiky.
That was a great vid today. That horseguard turned so red when her Dad was standing there with her.
Большое спасибо за интересные видеоролики.Большой привет из Минска,Республика Беларусь.
