    Thanks for the stroll along Westminster Bridge today. The iconic sights of London set against a clear blue sky was amazing.
    My friend’s cousin plays in the brass section of an orchestra - he even managed to get a note perfect recognisable tune out of a watering can at a BBQ last year. He says one of the most difficult brass instruments to master is the valveless trumpet - and that’s with both feet planted firmly on the ground and nothing to interrupt breath control. Can you imagine how much more difficult it must be on a horse with one hand holding the trumpet and the other on the reins when a sudden jolt could make holding or reaching a note practically impossible.
    I think word must have gone round the stables amongst the horses as to how to get themselves the day off. It seems like more and more horses are quitting than there used to be. If they’re getting spooked by the sheer number of people around so early in the season they may have to consider some sort of crowd limitation before the height of summer. The welfare of the horses must come before the whims of tourists.
    Brilliant example of parenting - a skittish horse is close to trampling his kids sitting on the ground in its path and he just stands there watching.

What I don't like is how badly some tourists behave towards the Guards, especially those who I think are Jews (because of the way they dress). It's good that you show us other places in that beautiful city. I admire each video of how they were rebuilt after the German bombings in WWII. I know they were more than 50 years ago, but there are no traces of destruction. Congratulations

    A horse has a 500 psi or power in a bite yet a pit bull has half that. Without sounding like I’m picking on a particular breed would these people tell their kids go pet the pit bull, let’s take pictures with the pit bull, or laugh when their kids clothing is taken into the dogs mouth

    Vida is still recovering and is not expected to return to service ever. From the latest update from the House Hold Cavalry. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

      Shame about Vida not returning but it's the best decision for Vida. I'm sure a good home will be found and Vida will have a great retirement. ❤

      @jackychamber534 You're welcome. I've been keeping a close eye open for all updates on the horses, Vida and Quaker. Both are recovering well, but not expected to return to active service again. They will likely be retired to their retirement facility. Jenn 💖

    Quite a mixed bag for part 1! The beginning with the sun on Westminster was absolutely spectacular! I was hoping you’d show more of it, was fantastic! I’ve seen all kinds of pictures but this view was incredible, the sun just made all the intricate architecture pop! That was better than any postcard! Things just kept rolling along with the trumpeters and their beautiful greys, kids almost getting stomped, Q10 having a pout, the Elizabeth Cup winner, the new sign, I’m looking forward to part 2!!!😻🐎❤️

    37:28 that was a bit close. Horse moved sideways in, child sitting there, Not good for the horse or child. As far as the parents were concerned the child was safe at their feet. Unfortunately you can't rely on a horse to move where you think it will go. Hence the incident, at least the child became aware and moved quickly out of the way.😊

    Good morning jon.
    Oh my, you certainly have had a busy morning. Thankyou again for the intresting footage as you go towards Horse Guards, yur commentary along the way is again precise and clear.
    I personally hope that your Prongs are sharpened lol.
    Well done to Trooper Jeffories a well deserved win.
    How lucky you were to catch the grey with the trumpter just as he came out, the control he had of the horse and managing to trumpet just shows the dedication these boys and girls give to their jobs.
    The footage of both sets of Guards looked equally amazing this morning in the sun.
    Why would you let your child sit in front of a horse?
    That poor horse was not happy,clearly upset over something bless him,though as usual the Trooper handled him well.
    Yur prong was out with that german mind😂..fair play he took what you said and apologised and as we all know not many do that !!!
    Thank you so much for getting so close to the dismount you could see how shiny and bright the uniform was x.

    Its lovely seeing green there 2. When my grandson was 9 we spent 3 days trip when I asked him what he wanted to see, the first thing he said was big ben. Then he said Buckingham palace I thought how sweet but I didn't realised he thought he could go inside big ben tower,( I knew a few years later if you booked you could, his parents a couple years later managed to take him)
    And poor him when we got to Buckingham castle he asked which door we have to go in, he thought we could go in and have a cup of tea with the queen and prince Philip. We just never thought he would think that, luckily the flag was at half mast so I explained it meant she wasn't at home he was upset but I said she was on royal visits.
    In the eyes of children he told me they were learning about the queen and her jobs as he put it.
