The women who saluted was very kind, she knows about those guards and it was very respectful of her to stop in her tracks to salute to these soldiers, I wish all tourists could be like that.
The Officer is wearing the insignia of a Member of the Royal Victorian Order. this was awarded to all those in the Grenadier Bearer Party for the Funeral of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021
It was pretty clear that they avoided marching into people when they could and only said "Make Way" when there was a large group by the sentry box..very nice vid
When the guards are coming stay out their way and don’t disrespect them these guys work hard also my uncle used to be a guard years ago he’s retired from the army now and even he had to yell at a few people in the past to move but these guards are awesome I think so we’ll done gentlemen keep up the great work you guys do
Except that disgustingly the Headress us still being made from Bearskin ! When most decent people want the banning of people wearing Fur, these Guards & the Bandmasters still wear Bearskin Headress. Even here and now in 2022, the Ministry Of Defence & the Government have said that they'll continue to use Bearskin instead of Faux Fur !! Why are these Men in the 5 Regiments proud to walk around with Dead Animal Skins On Their Heads ??!! The Queen Also Has Spent Too Many Years Wearing Fur, apparently She only said No to Her Fashion Designers using it on Her Apparel in 2019 !! That Took Her Far Too Long To Say No !! I Wonder About The Rest Of Her Family !!
I served as an honor guard in the US Navy. Just as with USMC, it was a tough job keeping the uniform PERFECT at all times - crackerjacks and that neckerchief. But the dixie cup head cover was the absolute worst. Lucky USMC have the most awesome dress blues.
My gran worked at the castle in the eighties.She was the matron and worked in the little office at 1:20.I used to visit her for free all the time and even stood at that spot in my RAF uniform during a Garter Day service.
I love it when the hand that comes into view and hoyks his /her son away from the gate.😁 I love this video. The Guards sure move at a cracking pace. Ivwatched it many x over. The sound of the guards boots is awesome.😂
I respect your endless patience with the tourists. Christ, what does it take for people to develop a bit of situational awareness? The guards are basically slamming their way forward with their boots, you can hear them from a mile off. Yet the tourists seem oblivious to anything but their own little thoughts. Very cool video! Pace and precision!
I’m so happy I came across your channel. You do wonderful work, very impressive. The scenery and all of those beautiful old buildings and all of that tradition with the Guards and all. Simply stunning to watch.😊
Imagine the discipline it takes to walk in perfect symmetry like that. I can't imagine the wear and tear it puts on the body to stand for that long without moving though.
Those Guards were absolutely perfect! So in step with each other everything about them arms everything. I have a very high respect for them they were so polite in every way. Loved watching it, had to a few times. Just fascinating to watch my eyes did not come off them for a second. All Guards are incredible but watching those guys reduced me to tears because of the hours and hours of training they must have done to get it that PERFECT. Beautiful guys!
@@Windsorguards I have a hearing loss from military service and I can hear them "march" as well. It's the tourists who are too damn loud .... and too many are disrespectful of the Royal Guards. You rarely see them cross the line with the Guards in Norway, Denmark, the Vatican, the Quirinale in Rome (the Presidential Palace), American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and similar places because the "conduct" will be addressed, up to and including arrest. The UK is too nice. I saw a video recently of a tourist who purposely blocked a dismounted Horse Guard and stood there mocking the guard, who walked around him. And SO19 (armed police) didn't do a thing.
One of the great videos. Note that the officers will move around unaware tourists. I think the soldier is told to be more strict when it comes to the public surrounding him. I love the subtlety in the orders. This is a free country, protected by highly trained professionals.
If you see those men coming, you go out of your way yourself, intimidating, as it should for soldiers. Been 3 years myself doing my duty, and when they saw us marching, nobody came in our way. And those who tried were bumped or pushed away. Big respects for those men and women. I'm seeing this video more than it's good. I'm still asking why that woman, doesn't have backup there? It would be great that out of the Guard, gate would come 4 or 5 older Guards to should these unrespectful teenagers away. Adrenaline for sure hehe.
He is an officer. They wear taller and fuller bearskins for easier distinction on the battlefield when this was still everyday dress(1815 onwards when they adopted the wearing of bearskins)
@@stewartbristow846 thank you for the reply. I was aware that he was an officer and the hat is a bearskin. However, I didn’t know when they started wearing them. I have watched the video a couple of times, what got to me was the perfect precision of the marching for a long time through lots of tourists, the noise of their shoes on the pavement and the stillness and size of the headgear. Very professional. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ps I think that this is a great video. I enjoyed it a lot.
I think that may have been a female guard? I must admit that I’m all for equality however I think that a sentry should be a lot taller than the guard who was there …
For those asking about the height of the guard, please remember there are no basic height rules to be a guard. Some guards are as short as 5ft 6, some are way taller. In their job application, only your physical fitness is a necessary requirement.
God bless us start and end your day with our ALMIGHTY GOD. THANK you so much and regards to all of you there in your country. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines
Die Queen Guards sind die besten der Welt!! wenn sie shufflen, das sieht so niedlich aus. Da könnt ich Stunden lang zu schauen. Sie haben den höchsten respekt verdient 🍀💖🙏
I heard in another video that the Queen's Guards had to be over 6 feet tall, at least 6 feet 2 inchiesta tall (if memory serves me right). It looks like the guard at the post is quite a bit shorter than that.
Not true for the Guards in its entirety. However, some companies in their respective battalions do have a preference for 6’ and over, The Queens Company of the Grenadier’s being one example.
Could anyone explain what the officer on the left had in his back sheath? Is it a knife? I also have to chuckle at how unaware people are at the approach of the guards…..
@@juliehock6059 I should think it might happen in their dreams. The ramifications of misusing the sword could see a Court Martial. At some point, I still think there should be a reassessment of how the tourists behave. Tolerance is not one of my strong suits. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not wanting to be disrespectful, but isn't the guard standing in the booth a bit too short?. He looks like a young boy. Don't you have to be a certain hight to serve a guard?
No you don’t have to be a certain height it is the Chinese that has to be a certain befit and some other military’s not trying to hate just clearing it up 😊
This is obviously a female Guard, as you can see in the profile when she marches. She has breasts, but her uniform blouse/tunic is not tailored to fit, just standard uniform issue. She's obviously earned her place in the regiment, even though she may not look as imposing in stature as the Colour Sergeant and the Officer who address her, and advise her about how to patrol her area.
@@Indigo-ke5dq Yes, they've been allowing women into all the Army regiments for years now, but they are not exactly welcomed by the male front line troops, who have to slow their rate of running to accommodate the lesser speed that women run at, have to distribute most of the woman's kit among the men, as they can't carry the full 60lb weight of regular equipment plus weapon and ammo, so that reduces the effectiveness of the male soldiers even more. Most regiments now place the women in support roles, as musicians, or administrative duties when on active deployment. I have friends in the Army who hate having a woman anywhere around them when on active duty, as they are a liability, have problems accepting orders that are given them if they deem them "un -feminine" and if they are placed anywhere near the front line, they have to be escorted everywhere, as if they are captured by enemy forces, they face being raped/abused and more, which further affects the morale of the male troops. My friends dread being assigned duties around female troops, even behind the lines, as they can also be a distraction to men who haven't seen a woman for a good while, and even the act of going around shirtless as men did in Afghanistan/Iraq had to be stopped, due to complains from the women about having to be around men who were half naked. Also there is the problem of men who have a lot of extra testosterone making lewd remarks/gestures toward the female troops that causes allegations of sexual harassment to be made against the men. From what I heard from my Army friends, the U.S Forces had a high rate of rape amongst their ranks, as they had both men and women in front line roles, and so quite a few of the men, after seeing friends wounded or killed in battle, would take out their frustrations on the women, and so sexual assaults/rapes were commonplace in Afghanistan/Iraq.
To be honest but this is the very first time I have seen a female member of the Greenadier Guards. I've obviously seen them in the Bands but not undertaking the actual guard duties. I'm sure she's from Liverpool? What was it the Officer picked up?
