      I'm not familiar with the proper term for addressing this regiment. Is it King's Troops or Gunner Guards? Either way, the guard in the right box is truly exceptional. He has a no-nonsense demeanor that I really admired. There is something undeniably regal about the handsome guard.. And I don't fault him. I would use the magnificent King's Horse as well. All the horses featured today are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks! John for your hard work. Appreciate your ability to educate and inform. Stay warm!❤️💂‍♀️

      @paradiseana7634 . Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery usually seen pulling the gun carriages and firing salutes at State Ceremonial occasions . They are Gunners equivalent to Private , on duty at Horse Guards referred to as Kings Lifeguards the same as HCav .

      Seems like the white box on the floor is too far towards the street. Blocks the walkway if there are a lot of tourons.

    John, massive respect to you for asking the protesters not to use the bullhorn as they passed the horses, I also commend the protester for respecting the request not to upset the horses. I love how people from the US and other countries recognise you and your channel, not only for the humour but the commentary re history and information about surrounding London. 💕🐴💕

    Dang, part 2 John! I love watching this gunner enforce the rules. Today's episode has been fun to watch. The horses/gunners have ranged from the Lovers to the Fighters while still doing their jobs and the multitude of police horses had been such a joy to watch. It helps that you're enthusiasm for these beauties travels across the waves to help us see the beauty as well. Thank you for your knowledge, joy and commentary. No wonder people seek you out when they visit. Your a humble horsey rockstar yourself. Stay safe and warm. From Rocky Mtns, USA.

    It’s so nice to hear from that tourist that her child is getting an opportunity to visit Horse Guards and learn all about their history and rules (that Horse Guards are working military personnel as well as being the official entrance to Buckingham Palace) at an early age and learn not to ridicule or make fun of them, that is amazing

    I was from the UK, S, Devon, now living in the USA for 31 years, love watching you John. The Gunner is so right chasing everyone out of the box, its way too busy there. He is a rockstar and love his horse. Happy Birthday to the young lady from the States FL, she will never forget her 10th birthday, she got to meet you John. Earlier in the video the female gunner had such a friendly horse, that just wanted to be loved by everyone, you could tell that horse loved people and kids. I think if she would not let him say hello he would play up lol, so what do you do. Have a horse that goes crazy in the box, or just let it say hello. I do not know on that one.

    I find the differences between the HCav and Gunner horses fascinating. Not just the physical size but the Gunner's mounts seem much more chill and friendly and vocal. Don' think I've ever heard the horses "talk" so much as in the last few days.

    That gunner who uses his horse to keep them out of the box is extraordinary. It's as if they are of the same mind. This horse knows exactly what is required of him from his gunner which says a lot about the horsemanship of the gunner. I suspect this gunner will go far up the ladder of authority, he seems incredibly disciplined.

    Added comment see the difference when you have a gunner actually guard and do his duties and put up with no nonsense tourist are very mindful to obey the rules. Absolutely an amazing gunner!

    What was that clicking sound that could be heard as you were walking down Whitehall towards Horseguards?
