    It’s worth mentioning, for the avoidance of any misconceptions here, that the man who fell is not a soldier. He is a member of the Scottish ceremonial guard, the Royal Company of Archers. They are all volunteers and mostly of retirement age, spending the rest of their duties representing their organisation in competition longbow. None of them were forced into it, they volunteered for this duty.
    Unfortunately for this poor chap, he was probably under the weather and, combined with his age, found it really difficult to stay there for his 20 minute slot. I do hope he’s alright.
    Edit: For what it's worth, there was an interview of one of the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) who was there, an RAF veteran named Tam Reilly, and he said the archer recovered shortly afterwards.

      Thank you for commenting with actual facts and logic. Being an older man, this fall is going to be a lot harder on him than it would be on a young person. And to the silly people who said he didn't hit his head, if you slow down the playback speed, you can see that although he managed to get his hands in front of him, which surely helped slow him down, he still smacks his forehead so hard and fast that it bounces off of the stone floor. He'll be lucky if he doesn't have a concussion.

    As someone who spent 10 years active duty Army and has spent countless hours in various types of ceremonies, I can tell you this happens all the time. Sometimes from dehydration, overheating, illness or locking your legs out. I've seen it many times. Standing at attention for a long period of time is very difficult. I remember when I was stationed in Hawaii, we had a change of command ceremony that lasted over 3 hours. We had to stand information that while time in a field with no shade and it was 89 degrees out that day. Absolutely awful.

    The on-screen text here is terribly misleading. The guards stand at their posts for only 20 minutes at a time. Then they are relieved by other members of their unit. Their duty shift may be 6 hours, but they stand still only in 20 minute increments. Still, 20 minutes is plenty long enough to lock your knees and pass out. I hope the soldier is OK. Looks like he was just about to be relieved.

    Besides the standing attention. It's everything surrounding the ceremony. The honor, the duty, the emotions. There's no comparison I mean I'm not there and I feel sadness of the pasting of the Queen. I remember I was a little boy when my parents took me to see the Queen visiting Hong Kong in 1975. Everyone was so excited to catch a glimpse of her. My dad bought a commemorative plate of their visit. I think we still have it.

      I was in the Canada version of ROTC. Even though we didn't drill for that long and a couple kids would faint once in a while, our legs would get tired/stiff for either standing too long or continously doing drill (band drill, regular drill or not) and the officer would tell us to bend our legs once in a while.

    I did this exact thing when I was in the military during a "change of command" ceremony. I was only standing for 15 -20 minutes and had my knee's locked which they always tell us not to do. I didn't really notice until all of sudden I could see my vision closing in from the side and turning into tunnel vision. I fell strait flat just like he did, hitting my front two teeth and shattering them completely. Several people came over to help me and I was taken to the hospital for a checkup and then booked for a dentist to fix the cosmetic damage. The US military is good about covering the cost of these things and paid for my implants which look better than my original teeth. The most shocking part was looking in the mirror at my teeth after the fall and seeing them gone.

    I hope the guard makes a full recovery and doesn't sustain any major injuries.

That is what Colonialism is all about; "Pillage and Plunder" at will.

      They have a 6 hour shift. They still rotate around every 20 mins. I personally think it’s far too long as well.

      Mosquitos are the worst. Change of Battalion command ceremony. I was in the front roll when I saw a mosquito land on my cheek and I was watching its belly swell with my blood.
