John, I'm so excited. Trooper V's mom and I will be coming down for the Trooping the Colour on the 15th
John - you're often remarking on how large these horses are - have you seen the New York City Mounted Parks Enforcement Patrol Officers & their horses?? They're truly huge & dwarf their riders - possibly Clydesdales or something - the ones with fluffy ankles lol! 😀😀
Mr. Nippy, Ormond, is still my favourite.
I wonder what he's like in his stall?
Princess Anne
Whenever I hear her name or her title, I stop and listen. Just to hear what this beautiful and amazing woman is up to.
Afternoon John , never grab a rider's reins full stop it's disrespectful.
never grab anything that doesn't belong to you!
It’s dangerous!
An army horse is technically a vehicle. Can you imagine trying to take charge of a military vehicle while the driver is there? I consider these twits lucky not to be poked by that long sharp thing.
It’s more than disrespectful - it’s assuming control of the horse. The reins are the connection between the horse and the rider - interrupting that communication is as stupid as grabbing the steering wheel of someone else’s car. It’s confusing for the horse because grabbing the reins interrupts the signals and cues from the rider’s hands to the horse’s mouth that it’s been trained to expect.
It is very dangerous as it could trigger the horse to rear up!
Like someone else said “it’s like grabbing the steering wheel of a car when you’re the passenger” !!!! Very disrespectful!!!!! I love to hear the Guard yell at stupid people!!! 😂❤
My goodness John, these people do not read the signs and they just being their normal disrespectful. Idiots grabs the reins. I hope the young man’s proud of himself and I pretty sure he hast to change his underwear after that one getting yelled at.😂😂😂😂😂😂
city walks by far the best ….thank you x
Thank You for talking to us while you film no one else does that. Have a great weekend John.
If only tourists behave & act like civilized people, it would be a wonderful experience at Horse Guards for everyone…
"Shoplifted 17 Tesco's meal deals"!!! 🤣🤣🤣 John you are on form today!!! 🤣🤣🤣 xxxxx
😂🤣😂 only 17 meal deals how about £600 worth of booze and ribeye and also fillet steak? Now that's what is shoplifting. (That is true by the way )
😂 trampoline for arthritis 🤯 for horses?¿?¿? I got a mental picture of Tristan or Ormonde looking at their trooper. -
O "You want MOI to jump on that"
T " Tell you what if your so keen you do it?" Hey O let go grab a haynet it chow time"
Leaving two troopers bouncing on thr trampoline. 😂
Babies held too close!!! Anything could happen !🙀🙀🌻😎
Right place, right time, Princess Royal, Well done, your spoiling us with Dignitaries and their horses and then a Princess Anne.
Your flying high today. Thank you John. 😊
If an expert and champion like Princess Anne can get injured, these tourists need to start using their common sense (not too many seem to have any!). They don't read signs either.....and their language skills are selective, seeing that they travel through Airports, Border control and other areas displaying signs in the English language! Don't get me started on their manners......how many acknowledge the guards in military uniform with their beautifully groomed horses......a thank you in any language would be appreciated!
I would be so frustrated if I were a horse guard. Tourists are so clueless about manners and how to behave around horses. I have been a tourist in London several times and will not attend these functions. Thanks for filming.
The last guy from USA who was taking a photograph and was very excited was called Nate Morrow. He is a You Tuber his page is Paging Mr Morrow, he films all Disney. He has just lost a good friend, so it’s lovely to see him smiling. I live here but started watching him during lockdown. I will tell him to look at your page and see himself. I’m sure he will be thrilled. Great video, thank you.
Dear I am house bound and watching your MGM daily films has me in stitches.
What makes me laugh is when he runs across the street. That little yell, "Aaaahhhh" he gives out, talking about the bus running him over makes me laugh everytime! 😂
I finally found you! I have been watching from the Pacific Northwest USA. You can not imagine how you fill my day. Since I lost my husband I have missed having a man in the house. I do my thing crafting, but now am not alone. Thanks for your gentle, humorous and exciting filming.
What a lovely thing to say Becky. I'm so sorry about your husband, and hope you can still find much happiness in your life. As a crafter myself, I know how that helps. My very best wishes to you. 😊
That is a horse trampoline, helps with arthritis 😂😂😂😂 you’re hilarious xx
Omg John .I nearly choked on my Tesco ready meal when you made the crack about the woman and 17 meal deals😂😂😂...
The award for stupid tourist goes too...?drum 🥁 roll to lady tourist with luggage on her phone has gateswoman was doing her rounds.
Ought to be 2nd and 3rd prize has well😂😂
The reaction of a number of the tourists was delightful today. Especially the lady in cream who you thought would run away. She had a great smile. The little boy with the giggles was charming and the people you talked to from Canada and the USA were polite. I’m a little sad that attendance is increasing to the degree it is. How can you really absorb the atmosphere when you are distracted by so many people pushing at you? I live in a village of 925 people not used to being surrounded by that many humans.
That and the pick pockets!
John I love the way you talk to the tourists & make them welcome in our country😉😊
London walks are the best John, thanks so much for these wonderful, professional vids, absolutely the best on RUclips.
Please to not make into 10 shorts
"Y.M.C.A.!!" 🤣🤣🤣 John you are so funny...I actually laughed out loud!!! 🤣🤣🤣 xxxxxx
Princess Royal xxxxx
I heard a little child say "I want see the King, Daddy. I saw the horses." Very enjoyable video. Thanks, John
Thank you John, there really is no need to apologise, it is your channel, personally, i love to hear your interactions with our cousins from across 'the pond', they are always lovely people. it is lovely to hear how they perceive their visit and their experiences. The couple from Tennessee were really lovely, respect to both of them.
The british horseguards 2024 horse trampoline team tipped for gold in paris 😂
I wonder how many somersaults they can do in one routine 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And there go, Ormonde doing a double backwards flip while he manages to nip one of the judges. He'll get extra points for that!¡!¡!
oh stop my sides are hurting from laughter at the image of the horses doing somersaults and especially Ormond biting one if the judges and getting extra points🤣🤣🤣🤣🐎🐎💕
Then Ormonde and Rarden join together to do a synchronised routine finishing in style with a double somersault with a kick out to see how many of the spotters they can flatten 😂😂😂. Gold medallists for certain
The highlights of your day, other than seeing the senior Royals, is when the tourists get yelled at for their poor behavior! Your little chuckle when you hear or see them doing dumb things is a joy to hear! Love to hear you chatting with your viewers!! It was a very pleasant morning and that little girl chattering was adorable!! Have a lovely holiday weekend...looking forward to seeing the videos!
I like the fact that John takes care of the people disrespecting the King's Guard. That's how I act with our Ex-Military here in the USA.
38:36 Carlo is old, just wants a nap and wants the tourists to stay off his lawn 😂
I know the feeling 😂
Thanks John I now have a picture in my mind of the horses lining up to trampoline, they need more than one - straight out of a Thelwell Ponies drawing.
I love Thelwell drawings they are brilliant 😁😁😁
My favourite Thelwell drawing….The kids on their ponies are talking to a woman up to her waist in snow.
“…..and hurry up, I’m mounted!!”
On certain days, if you pass Horse Guards you can see horse ears peep rhythmically over the wall with each bounce.
To the couple from Tennessee, please tell me what John looks like. I think I spotted him in another guys video, green hat and dark backpack! By the way, I’m from Alabama. Good to hear another Southerner on here. Have fun.😊😊😊
@@user-zl7ec2lg6e • If you can, watch Buska in the Park's video entitled "Your favourite Guard returns to Horseguards." It shows John talking to former Trooper Peter Ellis and his partner. Peter's the one with the 'tash' and John's the one in the hat. Good luck. 😊
John, were you ever a standup comic in a prior life? You have the quick tongue for it. 😂🤣
OMG, the way you said Oh my gosh sounding like the woman who said it. Had me laughing so hard I spit my drink out.
One of the most fun things I did on my London visits was riding on top of a red doubledecker bus. That was a treat all by itself.
More hilarity: "If you shoot me in the head, will it hurt". 😂 John, love your dry sense of humor.
John ..keep up your wonderful and informative videos. Takes a special person to do what you do. ...take care..
54:42 Holiday weekend here in the USA, too. Our Memorial Day is Monday, honoring those who died serving the country.
Lol john your sense of humor cracks me up. Im watching on a dark, dreary rainy Saturday morning in canada.😅😅😅
Silver Fox sneaking up on the horse! LOLl
Tristan was probably a little too curious... hence the change. Trampoline ?! I tend to Horse sunglasses, so they can enjoy the sun even better without being so dazzled, besides no one will notice if they are sleeping on duty
John if you ever get to canada, in ontario, Ottawa by parliament buildings, we have rcmp musical parade. That is awesome.
Your being very funny today,very cheeky❤
John's a stand up comedian and doesn't know it!!!🎉
John!! What a lovely friendly lot,great to see them giving you credit it is well deserved. Loved the horses as ever so relaxed today John Thank you Stay Safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great positioning to see the change over. Sorry no Tristan today but tourists are always the same hungry for their shots.
Omg that utterly oblivious chick on the phone!!! She deserved a good yelling at!!! People say it’s rude of the troopers to yell at the tourists…..”I” say it’s far ruder still to wander about a workplace in lalaland, on your phone, utterly ignoring EVERYthing around you and getting in the bloody WAY, and then, not even acknowledging her faux pas(yes I DID have another term in there but I didn’t want my comment censored by YT 🤷🤣)!!! My gods talk about entitled!! She’s gonna have fun with London traffic😅 I canNOT comprehend the tourists with this gates(wo)man. She IS smaller, so I think she NEEDS to yell. She shouldn’t HAVE to, but it is what it is. They’re simply not paying attention to her……she needs to establish authority and her RIGHT of WAY. SHE is MEANT to be there, THEY are there on sufferance and they need to understand that.
Verbious is a cutie, even if he’s not Tristan, I love his facial markings with the little black spot on his white chin
HOWEVER……..all my ranting about tourists notwithstanding……the Canadian chap you spoke to was utterly lovely, as were the American couple you were chatting with. SOME tourists are delightful, and really appreciate what they’re seeing…..it’s a shame they’re let down by a lot of their compatriots 😟 but hearing the interactions with them made me smile(yes I DO sometimes…..it hurts but I do🤣🥶🤣)
I know you posted this a month ago, but well said…..Texas here.
Very playful horse ,beautiful
Not to be boring but when I was young, when people visited a place they were always looking up and around, but now they walk around with their heads down, looking at their phones, so they never see anywhere in the ‘real’ we would look and take a photo, now they take a photo and look!
That's so true! People even go to the theatre and pop concerts and watch the action through their phones. My niece is one of them! 🙄
Good Morning Everyone
2 weeks later and it's nighttime but Hello! 👋
Hi John, love your videos. I just wonder why after watching the Guards dismount with all its beauty that people never applaud for watching that talent. Just wish they would show appreciation and
respect sometimes.
Hello and best wishes to the subcribers on this site, they are all awesome.
In my humble opinion applauding would give the impression that it's a show being put on for tourists , instead of an historical ceremonial duty , giving the impression that many have that they are actors performing instead of soldiers on duty .
Oh please no. Applause??? I’m cringing just thinking about it. For all the reasons Kath has mentioned, just……no.
These are soldiers doing their duties….it deserves our gratitude and respect, not applause. It’s not a show.
As well as great and funny commentary, I'm learning so much about Horseguards, the horses and the HCav ❤
I really enjoy your channel. Thank you so much. I’ve been to London but didn’t to go here.
What a shame I also was looking forward to seeing more of Tristan, wonder if he had been a naughty boy. Verbius is a beauty though, thanks for the video.
Good Morning ...nice Saturday so far...have a safe day..
I LOVE your channel. My Grand Daughter pegged it. She asked me if I was in my English history class last night when I was watching. Thank you for your commentary I have learned so much from you and have a new respect for your country and customs.
I believe if it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, I would love to stand next to the Kings Horse Life Guard for a photo to keep and show my friends and family. But, some people seem to be missing some common sense brain cells and become public nuisance. So, with that large group, where should they go. Everyone else seems to be doing the same thing. I think that tourists should be warned well before the event where to stand and apparently how to conduct themselves. Most of these people have probably never seen a live horse in their lives. They would have no idea as to the dangers that are possible here.
I think that's a huge part of the problem , most will only have seen a horse on tv , films or on the pages of a book . To actually see one and have the opportunity to stand next to and touch one is maybe a once in a lifetime experience , so I can understand their excitement . Unfortunately in some cases the excitement goes over the top resulting in them putting themselves in possible danger and annoying the horse and Trooper . Those with good tour guides are given information and directions , those on their own do their own thing whether right or wrong !
I do get that. But seriously, how many brain cells does one need to be able to comprehend that a large animal is something to be careful of. I mean it’s like the famous Yellowstone tourons that approach bison for pictures. I’ve never seen a bison in person(have seen a wisent but that’s bye the bye)but I can tell you RIGHT now in as sure as heck not gonna approach one “in the wild” cos that would be utterly moronic. I mean, it’s not rocket science.🤷😂
Morning John. You got me with horse trampoline 😂😂😂 just imagining it, legs everywhere, so funny. Thank you for the laugh, have a nice day.
He's making so many people so happy.
If the tourists want to engage a uniformed expert in conversation then they need to nip along to The Tower, where the yeomen and women are more than happy to answer all their questions - no matter how dumb - for a mere £34.80.
A trooper on guard duty isn’t there for a cosy little chit chat. Would they expect a Marine guarding the White House to be distracted by inane questions. Or would start asking any of the troops guarding the royal palaces of Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands or Denmark questions. Would they approach the Swiss Guard in the Vatican City to ask how long he’s on duty for?
Our troops deserve as much respect as they’d give to their own serving military. Wearing ceremonial uniform rather than their usual battle dress uniforms doesn’t mean they’re not on duty military personnel.
Are you sure it was only 17 Tesco meal deals?
The Gatesman is a young man. He was in part 1 in his combats. 😊
I enjoyed that view of Horse Guards from across the street! It gave me some perspective about the whole building.👍🏻
When I come to London again I want to come to the horse 💂. I never new it was here till John showed me. At least it’s not just building.
I so enjoy your commentary and the wonderful interaction with tourists. Thanks as always.
Good laugh 😂😂😂 nice video John
Good evening finally sitting down you have my undivided attention xxxxx
Another great. Vid!! Well done John!🌻😎🌻
The guard let us down, lady guard. No hollering, at guest. Hum bug!
It's funny John when you said, I'm going to lose it if someone said Cheese again, the school class pictures the photographer would always ok everyone smiles and say CHEESE! LOL 😂😂 . Memories 😊
Hi London
It’s interesting to hear where your fans are from and the snippets of conversations.
Great video the best ones that I have seen yet very entertaining great job
I loved that . Eoh mei GAOSH! Do I sense a bit of sarcasm in your voice today? 😂
10:50 How about the unison of the horses walking out 👍🏻🐴
John, I enjoy your interactions with the tourists as well as the walks and, of course, the horse guards.
You're very naughty John, 17 shoplifted meal deals!! 🤣🤣🤣
"Fluffy Sky World" hahaha, you need to TM that John.
I love hearing you chat with fans of the channel. Verbius was a fun horse to watch. Great video.
Hello John 18:00 so sorry for you that it’s Verbius instead of Tristan, but hey, it is what it is 😅
Why does only one horse get the slap on dismounting.?
The slap on the saddle indicates the rider is dismounting so there's a change of weight , the first Trooper walks the horse forward and the slap is heard by the other horse . They are trained this way .
Hi John! Could you help me understand why people are aloud to even touch the horses? It seems to me some of the horses gets spooked at times. Thank you for your videos. ❤
Most of them aren’t bothered, and the ones that are will very quickly let you know about it. Some even enjoy the attention. What NO horse enjoys is being crowded in, without an escape route. That will make them nervous. Loud yelling in their ears, fast erratic movements, and people who insist on pushing into a horses space when they make it clear they don’t like or want it will get a horse upset. Pinning ears back, moving away from invading hands, pushing people away, or even nipping are all VERY clear signs to back off that even the most sheltered apartment dweller should be able to work out. Sadly many ignorant folk appear to believe their wishes and desires trump that of the horses and that’s a problem. If people just showed a bit of respect things would go much more smoothly..
It's Verbius not Tristan. Verbius has the curlycue pattern on the forehead. Verbius also has two rear socks and fore left stocking.
"Horse trampoline?" You say the silliest things! Bless you, you keep us on our toes! LOL
Afternoon John really enjoying your commentary as always you have a great knowledge and put it over very well
Thank you John.
Good afternoon xxxxx
So wrong. Why do they have to crowd the guards so much.
Oh my gosh!!!😊🤣😂 Made me laugh and I love the way you said that😂🤣😂🤣
I wanted to see Ormonde❤
Great video today thanks 😊...cheese 😁 sorry couldn't resist it 😉
John, you are funny
They are sightseeing. What can you see in the tube?
The tourists are annoying. I would like to see the horse guards with no crowds or people for that matter. I don't understand wanting to get a photo with them..... it's so touristy.....
Maybe that's the point.🤷🏻♀️
People want a memory of seeing such a sight. I do understand that. What I DONT understand is the NEED to be IN the bloody picture themselves. It’s almost like they’ll forget that they were there if they’re not in the picture!!?? In any case, if they’d just take the picture and move along there’d be no issue. The issue comes with needing the picture whilst being practically on top of the horse(or his rider) particularly if one is terrified of horses and it as much as looking at one will trigger a full squealing flight response(or if you happen to be one of those morons who thinks such behaviour is “cute” and “girly”….it’s not, it’s stupid and dangerous around a large animal.) Or being one of those self appointed “influencers” who primp and preen and spend 20 minutes contorting into a supposedly “sexy” pose, which usually looks not only very UNsexy, but actively uncomfortable and utterly ridiculous….one recent woman looked kinda like a cross between a baboon and a mounted fish, what with the “trout pout” that for some reason they all seem to think looks GOOD🙄(I beg to differ), and the desperate thrusting of her over endowed arse end into the horses face. Not entirely sure why unless she has a fetish for being bitten on the butt….I’m awaiting the first arse bite with bated breath I’ll be honest, 🤣 The worst part of the self absorbed “influencer” types(and let’s be honest, the only influence most of them have is over what ridiculous froufrou “semi coffee” drink they’ll be seen with) tho, is that instead of the picture being of the gorgeous pageantry in front of them, it’s just of THEM….everything else is reduced to a prop. They might as well do it with photoshop for all of the engagement with their surroundings(which is nil)which would save congestion and lower the blood pressure of both the horses, AND the troopers several points.
Yes, they are Tourists, after all.
Loving this first horse, curious, likes to poke, lol.
Loved the trampoline line had vision of huge horse bouncing up and down
Back later John xxxx have a lovely Saturday xxxxx
Can’t figure out why certain race of people all where those bucket hats and act sooo sjilly! 😊😊😊😊
Unfortunately John explained this dilemma. England needs the money generated by tourism in their economy. So if having their guards suffer this daily bombardment it's going to be tolerated.
They don’t need to touch the horses or guards to get a photo. They don’t pay to stand there and treat our soldiers with no respect.
@@sylviadunn1622and… they could buy lovely printed, perfectly posed, picturesque, proper postcards from the gift shop over there! ⬅️
Let's go ENGLAND
Fluffy sky world😂😂sad but true
Some people are just plain rude. Sometimes they will come up to people walking a dog and grab the leash to pet the dog. Fortunately has never happened to me. I love my dog Toad. But people are scared of him so they tend to give us a wide birth. To be honest we like it best that way.
Beautiful day and I enjoyed meeting the 2 couples who stopped to say thank you.
Lovely!! Thank you John.
hahaha...been watching for since last summer and it still get's me now and then to see cars going on the "wrong" side of the road...have to remind myself its not the US...lol
Wow John, the sunshine glowing off their breastplates and vibrant color makes them look all the fantastic! Thanks for adding your intelligent, enthusiastic, engaging and sometimes wry commentary, it makes all the difference for this southwest US woman to have taken an interest!
