Wow, Indian minister of Defence last week, a security drill a couple days back(which is probably explained by today) and a Quatari politician and MP meeting today. It's all on at HorseGuards lately, ain't it 😮
This has nothing to do with the safety of the horses, guards, or their staff. On the contrary, they are the ones potentially putting themselves at risk to protect official visitors from other countries.
Good question. I didn't realize the importance of the guards, that's because I never looked into it and thought it was just for show. But I read on one of these videos that they're actually guarding. It's too bad people who travel there don't look into it first. I respect the guards and horses more than before.
@@rhondabenz3150We are a combat ready regiment, there are 7 regiments 5 foot guards, 2 cavalry ( tanks) ceremonial is only a small part of what we do. My regiment lost 15 men in Afghan and 47 with life changing injuries. We are not just for show, we are the senior regiment of the British army that is why we guard are King and the royal family
Qatari top brass here to discuss secirity concerns and how theor gnatural gas container ships will be guarenteed Rayal Navy protection as the Nation of Qatar have decided to re root theor ships around the horn of Africa to avoid being targeted in the Red Sea. Prices will go sky if an agreement is not made.
These people clearly don't know that horse could kill them in a second. Horses spook easily. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IF THE GUARD IS TRYING TO SETTLE A HORSE. DON'T TOUCH THE REINS. EVER!
Ces femmes qui ricanent tout le temps !!!! Au moins , leur esprit est au repos ! ……. Et je suis une femme , accepte pas ces réactions ! Monique 🇫🇷 bravo les gardes ❤ .
I have had concerns for a while. .Children get so close to these beautiful animals. The horses are not for an animal petting centre. The guards are highly trained soldiers.
Having worked next to Horseguards 24 years....visiting dignotary. Just never were so many ribberndcking tourists...or Favebook Channdl. Id say by number plate and earlier Arab Military visitors..Quatari dignitary.
British Army has PR photographers within it's ranks. It could be an adjutant, rank and file officer. Whoever it is will be vettded and have security clearance.
While ever1 was concentrating on the cars and the armed police never think the rooftops on either side where not nestling long barrel operatives and there wasn't a number of fully trained and armed to the teeth anti terror squads lurking nearby on alpha response. such is the world we live in 2day sad but true having said that I would rather the aforementioned personnel where in place just in case.
M.O.D officers protecting the military building, not particularly the guards. That's their remit and they're fantastic at it. Not a laughing matter you dope.
Still why do they allow a crowd of people just to stand around? Can’t they be told to move along. They look like they’re waiting for a distribution of whatever. They don’t even know or really care.
If this is a military installation, why are there no armed soldiers instead of police. I understand about the ceremonial troops, but why no armed soldiers instead of police?
Because soldiers are not permitted to be armed in a civil area. That's the remit of the MoD police and Police armed response units if required. The armed forces will not be used against the public.
They are MOD [Ministry of Defence] Police, armed, they only have jurisdiction inside the gates and around the horses. They are not MET [Metropoitan] Police -unarmed in the UK. Mod Police are not in the military but a civilian special force that are charged with providing armed security and counter-terrorism services to designated high-risk areas, as well as uniformed policing and limited investigative services to Ministry of Defence property, personnel, and installations throughout the United Kingdom.
❤esses turista tem que apreender o que e respeito são todos visitas e visitas se comporta como pessoas educadas mas realmente nem adultos e criança não tem respeitos com os animais e soldados eles são soldados há serviços do rei coloquem uma placa de dois metros de altura com as hordem e punição e multa só assim eles vão obedecer eu acho né 😡😡😡
They don't take any notice of the signs beside the horse gaurds so can't see them obeying another sign. Unfortunately we seem to produce a lot of feral people these days.
They are tourists on holiday not school children on an educational day out. When we are tourists in another country do we always know and understand or even care about others cultures! I think not. Stop complaining they are doing what they are allowed to do and in most cases welcomed. You all just like moaning a lot.
@@johnheydon3032 • The Ministry of Defence is a Government department, and is part of the Civil Service. It is NOT part of the army, or the Navy, or any of the other armed forces.
The Brits should thoroughly check out whoever is coming through the gates since it’s a military facility. Access to this facility seems kind of lax whereby everyone and their cousin is allowed to come through the gates since it’s an historical facility. Maybe if the Brits tacks on an admission fee, for admission and for administration fee for setting up the new admission procedure.
This tourist thing is way out of control.
I don't think the tourists reales it's an achaly working army. Take care and all the best. 😊😊👍👍👍
I hope the spelling of two of your words,were an actual mistake ,and not the way you actually spell!
Realize and Actually !
@@cashew515 Shut up and stop judging others.
Maybe now the tourists will see that it isnt Disneyland
Agreed. This is not Disneyland Paris. It’s also due to overtourists.
I have to agree.
They will not see, They are clueless. I worked maximum security for 20 years. Blessings to the Kings guards and the police.
They could at least use Jaguars 😮
Agree but the police inside gate who is guarding the trooper and horse!

There’s the security reason, Quatar.
Fun fact, the leader of Hamas lives in a nice hotel in Qatar. He’s a piece of work
Very sad these things are having to happen but it is imperative the horses, guards and all other staff are kept safe.
They are the ones guarding the visiting “diplomats”.
This has nothing to do with the safety of the horses, guards, or their staff. On the contrary, they are the ones potentially putting themselves at risk to protect official visitors from other countries.
My opinion thank you
Of Course. The Horses And Guards Are WORKING. THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS AND HORSES.
Its a visiting Quatari Dignitary. Quite normal. What a very strange comment. Its a visit!.
Why do tourists have to be so disrespectful about our British armed forces? I can hear The Women in the background.
А за ч т о их уважать? За истребление индусов, вы хоть одну войну выиграли, вы вернули всё что награбили в колониях?

@@elenasmirnova53clown what has got to do with the present 🤡
For once no one is mauling crowding the horses.
At least the horses are getting break 🐴
They only work for one hour anyway. Don't need a break .
@@margaretwaite7226 yes i know just saying with everything that is going on up there at the moment the people are not so interested in them
DO NOT BE SO RUDE. THE HORSES AND GUARDS ARE PROFESSIONAL MILITARY. THEY SHOULD BE RESPECTED.

Oil is NOT a limited commodity...contrary to what we are told. Prices are raised purely for PROFIT.
Crew who bring the resources are though

Very nice coverage. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Well caught. A fleet of black saloons and men in suits, no, no one saw them arriving at all lol. Very interesting to see.
I dont understan how they could let the looky lous crowd around the gates. Anyone in that crowd of people could be armed.
So are the guards in black, that's exactly what they're for, to protect..
I agree those soldiers inside could have lined either side of the gates.
It’s a place of work….🥰
What has some big wig come from Qatar come for a meeting with the prime minster?
I have had concerns for a while. .Children get so close to these beautiful animals. The horses are not for an animal petting centre. The guards are highly trained soldiers.
Nobody queried the secret spy - Mr Pigeon
Mr Pigeon is a super spy👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
The pigeon looks suspicious, he might be planning a cooooooo
Where are the “ just stop oil protesters”. Hmm. Don’t want to engage with trained Troops
Blue hackles on the busbies, Scots guards?
Checked, blue hackles , right side = Irish

I was wondering what the important people going in is thinking about the people staring at them???
Bah. Ils ont l habitude d être observés des qu'ils sont dans des limousines.
The Guys in The black Donkey Duffle coats really look like TV interpretations of KGB Agents.
They should have closed the area off to tourists
Why don’t they make the tourist leave. They sure didn’t move back when told
Qatar seriously? The UK hosting Let’s make a deal? This should be interesting.
Who is the woman photographer on the inside court? Ought she to be there?
British Army has PR photographers within it's ranks. It could be an adjutant, rank and file officer.
Whoever it is will be vettded and have security clearance.
I'm sorry, but the pigeon that was strutting up and down the center of the path, stole the show for me! It even had it's blues on!
While ever1 was concentrating on the cars and the armed police never think the rooftops on either side where not nestling long barrel operatives and there wasn't a number of fully trained and armed to the teeth anti terror squads lurking nearby on alpha response. such is the world we live in 2day sad but true having said that I would rather the aforementioned personnel where in place just in case.
There is always something in the license plates eg QTR 1
MOT has expired 😂😂
Police guarding the guards, lol.
M.O.D officers protecting the military building, not particularly the guards. That's their remit and they're fantastic at it. Not a laughing matter you dope.
They should use tigers more then guards! 😂
What is the reason for all the hullaballooo.?
Right folks for like sheep or follow like sheep just follow the leader for the sleep very good follow the sheep people like sheep follow the leader

We don't see everything and everybody.

Those ‘ceremonial’soldiers are trained in combat too

That's why MOD has their own police there. Soldiers are not armed in civilian areas.
The policemen need stocking caps! Its cold!
They are MOD police they do not get the same as the Met.
لماذا الضحك .
That lady asked what's happening it none of you business just do as your told you don't need to know everything
She’s perfectly free to ask, just as they can refuse to answer. Those DOD police can’t tell her to do anything unless she’s inside the gates.
@@Bandomeme why were they standing on the pavement then for a while then ?
They’re bidding to buy a kiosk at Horseguards to feed peanuts to the tourists.🤷🏻♂️

Where's crazy Karen.?😂
Crazy Karen is now banned from going there.

Nothing . Relax. Moan Moan Moan.
Disrespectal people , use some common scence for Gods sake
Theres a bird in.Its probably a trained Chinese spy bird.

No they are not
