And not a word of apology . . . If an elbow in the ribs isn't international language for "Get out of my space", then I really don't know what he would have understood. Well done, trooper. I'm sorry your job entails having to put up with such ignorant, entitled tourists.
rude and ignorant is an understatement and than that idiot grinned when he was pushed away wondering why . these guards have a tough job standing and or on horse back for a good amount of time without needing this kind of behaviour . shame on these morons behaving badly .
I'm so glad the guard elbowed that disrespectful man, what is wrong with people now a days? They show no respect. To all the guards I want to say I respect the job that you do and I am an American.
I am also An American if there are any Americans acting like these fools do I want to apologize for all of them...I also want to Thank each of the guards for the service they have given
@alans9806 If they acted like that at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, they could very well be shot. Those Guards at the Tomb have the right to use force. I am sure they wouldn't want to, but they are authorized to if they feel the need
Tourists must realize that these guards are British Army personnel doing this duty and are not there to be ridiculed and they are not there for amusement, this is the Horse Guards Parade establishment and these duties have been carried out for years. So please show some respect.
Sadly respect these days is not taught not enforced and not shown by so many, Some seem to think they are actors and it is all a big show for their entitled entertainment. And this guy was one who had not a shred of respect for the Guard.
Letting people go up to them, makes it feel like they are Disney Characters. !!! The tourists mingling with the soldiers and horses is and has been a disaster. Some one will get hurt .
Where do people go up to people standing around in “costume” ? At theme parks. Where can soldiers be approached ?? Maybe this used to work fine. But everyone knows what theme parks look like now. And this looks like it to the person not knowing what this is. How , how are they supposed to know ? And I don’t mean the language barrier, but that would add to the misinformation.
That man was an idiot, enough said about him! But the little boy who waved at the guard was so sweet, the innocence of a small child, he didn't know that the guard couldn't respond, bless him !
I think we can all imagine the words going through the Troopers head as he turned and marched away .. It ends with off ! Well done young man you are a credit to the Blues and Royals .
That man had the cheek to look surprised when the Guard immediately let him know his actions were unacceptable..He has absolutely no manners or breeding.
Not really. It's rude but not technically assault. Assault is threat or attempt to inflict offensive physical contact or bodily harm on a person (as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner) that puts the person in immediate danger of or in apprehension (see apprehension sense 1) of such harm or contact compare battery sense
@@Christine-zk6hk Correct. Although, I would thoroughly enjoy, seeing a tourist attempt that at The Tomb, of The Unknown. In Washington DC. You, don't dare, invade their space.

I think the guy that got handsy with the King's Guard did so out of ignorance of military tradition. That, and he was just plain stupid... But, I did get a good laugh out of his "what did I do?" expression. So, for all the people that haven't served in the military (no matter the nation or branch), let me make it simple: DO NOT TOUCH A SENTRY ON DUTY! And this includes the horses!
That's disgusting and no respect for our kings men,can't believe he tested he limits to see what would happen touching the guard so glad the guard had a quick move to gently push him away,
What is wrong with the people of this world. Why gives the right to just walk up to someone and wrap your arms around them. And then act shocked when your pushed back.
Deportation and lifetime ban. stick him on plane , give letter to crew signed by The Queen that he is not welcome in the UK ever again and their passports should be ripped up when they land in their own country.
Why doesn't anyone say Thank You to the guard??? That one guy is so ignorant. He thinks that was funny. He is so stupid that he can't grasp what he did! I was waiting for the guard to yell "Don't touch the Kings Guard". I had to catch myself I typed Queens Guard first.
Love that Guard. He kept his cool and just shoved the man away. Man was shocked as be didn't know what he had done. Good example of the public are too close.. it could be very dangerous..
I agree. That man could have had a small dagger in his hand, we do not know. These days the people on this Planet are out of their minds when it comes to their 'holidays' and self-entitlement.
Unfortunately these tourists think that this is a show just put on for them, which makes them feel justified in their rude actions. They don't realise these soldiers would be doing this job, whether they were there or not. They should put up a perimeter around the area so no access to anybody just the soldiers and police. Let the tourists take photos from a distance.
I’m sorry to say but I think the word respect and obeying the rules are no longer in existence it makes me so sad to see how people treat anyone now days it doesn’t take a Rocket science to see what these guards do Thank you for your service and God bless you all
What gaul…then to smile and laugh afterwards!! That’s so rude and obnoxious! This young trooper was so amazing!! So very proud of him!! May God Bless him in his service of duty to king and country!! Blessings!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I have been watching these videos for months. I am bedridden, and I when I could still walk we visited in England, in 1996 and 1998. Not only did we see the full Change of the Guard,at Buckingham Palace which is a wonderful spectecal, we also saw these, at that time called the Queens Life Guards. I cannot believe what these tourists do. Do they honestly think these Guards are there for their entertainment. I am deeply disturbed that they have no regard, openly displaying the most disgraceful behaviour! I am so glad the Guard reacted so strongly!! And then the idiot tourist asks "what did I do wrong??". Really, are you serious??
Just think you are going about your daily duties as a soldier, and you have to put up with, rude, ignorant selfish people,who think the kings guards are there just for them.. it makes me so angry and annoyed when they look at the guard and have no clue what they did wrong.
It seems that the powers that be have no more respect for the British Army than these deranged people who visit Horseguards Parade. If they had any regard for these soldiers no member of the public would be allowed to come within touching distance of them and their horses.
@@charlottecunningham2141 Some of us should write letters to the Palace and complain, then something MIGHT be done. Pulling the reins not only is a breach of etiquette it also pulls on the horses's bit. That is animal cruelty.
Its said that ignorance is bliss... that guy who touch the Guard is way beyond ignorant. Hes very lucky the Guard didnt yell at him. Has this Guard always displayed a medal on his uniform.? Im pretty sure I havent seen it before. Many congrats to him on his recognition for his service. (?) 👏👏👏
He was touching the Guard like he was his Son.. How rude, and how personal was that. Grabbing the King's Guard..What a Weirdo. I'm glad he got elbowed out of the way. Complete idiot.
If someone swears at a cop let alone touches them they are arrested and possibly jailed. Why not our armed forces??? They put their lives on the line for us and yet get treated like shit. Did everyone else see the man in black touching his helmet???
Need to make it that no one touches guards and horses, period. If they do, they will be arrested, no ifs or buts.. no kids acting like it's a petting zoo either!
I’ve watched several of these videos. I don’t know that I’ve seen anyone actually ask the guard first if they can take a picture with him and definitely no one thanks them after the picture has been taken. It’s as though they honestly believe these guards and horses are characters there for the tourists entertainment. Honestly, it would still be rude if they were characters if the tourists never acknowledge them.
Yes that boy was very disrespectful- even making gestures behind the guards back before he was photographed. Even then he was pulling faces. It's so depressing to see. What is wrong with them 😢
Touching the horses is allowed. Touching the reins is NOT as it is the way of controlling the animals. The guards and their horses serve here as a tourist attraction - that is their purpose (not all the time obviously!)
I've watched a bunch of these videos and still wonder what goes through someones head that it is ok to grab the reins of the Guard Horse. You also don't need to touch the horse to get your photo taken. Again, respect the Guard and his Horse. They're "On Duty".
WOW. Good for that one woman in the dark blue dress, and the man in blue T-shirt, who actually turned to the guard and THANKED him! In watching a lot of these, and the ones with the guards on horses…I have NEVER seen one person thank the guard. Major kudos Madame, and Sir…you are unique! Also, I got a good chill to see (what I think were) Aboriginals from Oz there, truly made me smile!
I was amused to see the chap walking from behind the guard and reaching up to check how sharp the sword was. Haha , obviously very sharp as he withdrew his hand very quickly.
Well at least I saw 2 say the 2 magic words Thank You, the rest could not be bothered to say them. And what about the idiot trying to flick the plumage on the Guards Helmet. And yes you idiot you tried to hug the Guard that is TOUCHING!!! don't keep lying and saying you did not touch him, a Guard would not shove you off him if you did not touch total lier caught on video now forever. And what about the poser how many photos do you really need lady, yes nice glasses but come on. Ty great video as always Sir. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤
Won't be long the Guard will decide to stop having this beautiful regal display of horses and guardsmen due to rudeness and lack of safety. And many will still sit back and wonder why. Sad.
These tourist think the guards and horses are there for their own photo-op. How demoralizing for these guards. If they get these guards to March back and forth it will discourage these tourist from using these guards from as cardboard cutout for photo ops.
Where are the armed police? I thought they were supposed to protect the guards. It's about time this rude, disgusting, disrespectful behaviour from the tourist towards our Kings guards and horses stopped, it outrageous our soldiers have to put up with this every day. Put the people in charge on horses for a week or two and see how they like it.
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 So would I! Why isn't the whole crowd responding? It can be done politely and/or firmly, but yikes, people in the crowd, say SOMETHING! Explain to the groping tourist that touching isn't allowed, and if he/she gets nasty with you, the guard will likely signal the police in the area. (The guard will also probably silently cheer you for saying aloud what he wishes he were at liberty to say!)
How can so many people be so rude? Not one said hello or Thank You to the Guard!!! What the heck!!!!!! That tourist touching him was so Ignorant!!!!!!!
All those women with different obnoxious smelling perfumes. The guards must get a headache. Yuk We all know, some cheap perfumes smell like drain cleaner.
I’m sure some people think they are there just for the purpose of taking photos. But that man crossed the line when he touched the guard, and into the bargain he was too stupid to realise that he did wrong ❤❤🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺
Personally I would not like it but their are cameras all over the dame place hundreds on the streets of London and China has even more .We are definitely being watched ..even satellites are watching ..
I Wish these people would Do their Research. Either Visiting London, or going for a day out in London. I'm sure some Tourist's thinks it's part of a Show.
The British Royals could put an end to that type of crap tomorrow but they won't. They care more about the tourists and their cash flow than they do about the Guards and their horses!
I would like to say that the kings GUARDS have nerves of steel to stand there and put up with the Visitor from all over the world......and on that note I want to say thank you ...
This Tropp is on duty and rule #1 is DON'T put your hands on them, they aren't your buddy-buddy, my understanding is -take all the pictures you want but manhandling is NOT tolerated. Good call by the Troop with the elbow to the tourist ribs
Frankly, I think it’s intrusive to just go up and stand beside anyone, and photograph them. I thought you had to have permission before photographing anyone!
People dont understand our culture . They think its out of date . We have a royal family . They may get called by people who know no better but its our history . These soldiers are guarding the king of our country , they deserve respect
I hate the disrespect the tourists give these Soldiers. I'm a Veteran from a different country and honor and respect these guards. They're not out there for you to play with and make fun of, they are "On Duty".
And not a word of apology . . . If an elbow in the ribs isn't international language for "Get out of my space", then I really don't know what he would have understood.
Well done, trooper. I'm sorry your job entails having to put up with such ignorant, entitled tourists.

Won't be long the Guard will decide to stop having this beautiful regal display of horses and guardsmen due to rudeness and lack of safety. And many will still sit back and wonder why. Sad.
No, its a long standing law, and tradition. People will just be kept away from being near the soldiers and horses.
These tourist think the guards and horses are there for their own photo-op. How demoralizing for these guards. If they get these guards to March back and forth it will discourage these tourist from using these guards from as cardboard cutout for photo ops.
These guards have so much patience! It’s amazing.
What ive been thinking never a thankyou to Guards x
Where are the armed police? I thought they were supposed to protect the guards. It's about time this rude, disgusting, disrespectful behaviour from the tourist towards our Kings guards and horses stopped, it outrageous our soldiers have to put up with this every day. Put the people in charge on horses for a week or two and see how they like it.
I do wonder why the people taking the videos do not say something. I KNOW, I WOULD..
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 So would I! Why isn't the whole crowd responding? It can be done politely and/or firmly, but yikes, people in the crowd, say SOMETHING! Explain to the groping tourist that touching isn't allowed, and if he/she gets nasty with you, the guard will likely signal the police in the area. (The guard will also probably silently cheer you for saying aloud what he wishes he were at liberty to say!)
How can so many people be so rude? Not one said hello or Thank You to the Guard!!! What the heck!!!!!! That tourist touching him was so Ignorant!!!!!!!
My respect to the couple at 1 min 15 s who had the decency to say thank you to the trooper. That's all it takes!
If people aren’t going to treat these guards with the respect, just put up statues! I do not like them to stand next to him like that. Absurd!
All those women with different obnoxious smelling perfumes. The guards must get a headache. Yuk
We all know, some cheap perfumes smell like drain cleaner.
Well done guard.
The way he pushed him😂
I’m sure some people think they are there just for the purpose of taking photos. But that man crossed the line when he touched the guard, and into the bargain he was too stupid to realise that he did wrong ❤❤🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺
He knew exactly what he was doing. He's just a simpleton.
@@dalesmith4019
A very sly simpleton though.
I just want people to at least thank them, acknowledge their existence even😂 1 in every 100 people say thanks, that sucks
He,s lucky the guard didn,t do more .
I wonder how these men feel about bing photograph all the time
Personally I would not like it but their are cameras all over the dame place hundreds on the streets of London and China has even more .We are definitely being watched ..even satellites are watching ..
I Wish these people would Do their Research. Either Visiting London, or going for a day out in London. I'm sure some Tourist's thinks it's part of a Show.
The British Royals could put an end to that type of crap tomorrow but they won't. They care more about the tourists and their cash flow than they do about the Guards and their horses!
WHY DO THEY LET DISRESPECTFULL PUBLIC NEAR
That was disgraceful behaviour, and not funny either! 😡
It’s a wonderful he didn’t get slammed to the ground!
I would like to say that the kings GUARDS have nerves of steel to stand there and put up with the Visitor from all over the world......and on that note I want to say thank you ...
At least some of them say Thank You that was nice to see for a change
This Tropp is on duty and rule #1 is DON'T put your hands on them, they aren't your buddy-buddy, my understanding is -take all the pictures you want but manhandling is NOT tolerated. Good call by the Troop with the elbow to the tourist ribs
The Royals give England that touch of class that no other nation has ! These guards, and their horses are magnificent !!
Was worried for a minute that the woman in the green top was going to eat the horse
Sometimes it looks that way 😔
Frankly, I think it’s intrusive to just go up and stand beside anyone, and photograph them. I thought you had to have permission before photographing anyone!
Much respect for these guards!
$2!? Is that it? If you tip it should be $20 or a total waste of time
@@rickyb725 it wouldn't let me change the amount. Besides who are you to tell me what I can spend. Go away rude sir...
Come on!? In the US this tip would be an insult. Either tip good or don’t tip at all
@@rickyb725 in the US at the moment, people will take whatever tip they are given and be grateful for it...
People dont understand our culture . They think its out of date . We have a royal family . They may get called by people who know no better but its our history . These soldiers are guarding the king of our country , they deserve respect
I hate the disrespect the tourists give these Soldiers. I'm a Veteran from a different country and honor and respect these guards. They're not out there for you to play with and make fun of, they are "On Duty".
Exactly, me too. The blatant disrespect is disgusting.
