Thank you! For braving the weather for us appreciated. You're a real trooper. Glorious arrival/departure. Of our beloved regiments. Kudos! To the Gatemen they moved effortlessly among the crowd. It wouldn't hurt. For the police to carry a mini megaphone. 🤣📣On their waistband. When tourists don't understand simple verbal/visual commands. I do miss seeing our favorite lady officer. Hope she's doing well. I agree the horse with the star marking is a beauty.. I do miss seeing Ormonde. Lastly., I don't know how to feel. About the Blues and Royals enforcement of the lines "neutral "Well done!❤️💂♀️🐴
Hello John 😊. What a spectacular shot of PH Wilfred and PH Ziggy on the Parade ground framing the entrance to Horse Guards 😀. Regarding " Fonzie " man VOVO 19 , I reported one of his videos from a month ago where a young girl stands in his camera shot while having her photo taken , he continued to film her closely instead of turning away and made what to me were inappropriate comments about how " cute and pretty " she was !! He doesn't seem to understand personal boundaries ! I know anyone can be filmed in a public area but to me he overstepped the line ( that's topical isn't it 😁) . He's made personal comments about other young women as well ! Worth keeping a close eye on him , he's there all day every day and his numerous videos have some strange titles , ok his English may not be perfect 😊. Something about him doesn't sit well with me !
Hello, I am in San Diego, California, USA. I wanted to tell you how much I really enjoy your postings and seeing and learning about your royalty and the castle. Your voice is perfect to listen to. I like your character and personality. Thank you, Marilyn
John, I just witnessed a Guard yelling at the old soldier for walking in front of the box, just because he was walking slightly over the front white line on his way to the Yard!! And what truly disturbed me was that this trooper had failed to shout at a bunch of tourists who had crossed the line for picture taking!! This was a Life Guard in the box. To treat that poor old man so disrespectfully was horrible!!
I think those guards need to yell an awful lot more at the tourist it's sticking they're disrespect I mean you know I'm not a Brit lover I'm not any I love I'm a dog lover okay and nature I live in the middle of nowhere on a mountain in North Idaho anyway prayers is they need to yell more at these tourists and these Punk kids and if if that was an Old Guard that is a shame I listen to these more than I can see them because I'm buying them both eyes and until somebody tells me you know all right hear the shouting then I have to rewind but certain parts I have to rewind over 20 times just to try to figure out what's going on which is fine but I I concur they they need to yell more at the Taurus I know you guys need the business you know we all do all of our states over here we we need tourist business as well however North Idaho is turning into Pig movie stars which I can't stand on Clint Eastwood there's only a few movie stars left if you ask me but saying that they are destroyed Western Montana thanks to that punk Tom Cruise I think it was hammer what's his face whoever Tom bought the house from I don't know as I know is they moved into Whitefish and they need to get the hell out I can't stand these these people they they have ran up the prices so much that I have to live I live over over 10 mi from any gas station literally 20 miles from any town that I can go shopping at because I can't afford to live in town The Invasion with the Seattle people in the movie people it's just gross I can't I don't like it it's just disgusting
I had to stop watching yesterday when the changed over guard was allowing people to come into the box and touch the horses. Not good for my blood pressure.
It’s ridiculous! There should be uniform enforcement. Those beautiful horses do not deserve to spend an hour fighting off visitors who won’t read. Someone needs to assure the guards enforce this!!
I saw this too such a humble young man, loved his love of the horses kissing one on the nose and making sure that the disabled children got a photo with a guard and his laser stare when touched by the woman outside the gates on gates man duty! Heart of gold He mentioned what a good friend you are to him John💛💖
Another great day at Horse Guard's with you. Missing Sir Monde and Arnie but lovely horses and Blues and Royals troopers. Love your interactions with the other peasants 😊. Would love to see and listen to other tours you do around the world ! Cheers
Awfully glad you took the time to go out back and visit the police horses Wilfred and Ziggy John. Presented an oportunity for such a splendid screen shot of them. That was beautiful with the B&R coming through the tunnel with the first 3 abreast. Thanks John. kiwi 😊
I worked as a telephone operator when I was younger. There was a row of red phone boxes in the centre of Bristol. The amount of times delightful children would phone and tell us to "Get off the line, there's a train coming!" Lovely......
Good morning John all the way from Chicago,I just want to write that I just finished hearing the podcast that Peter was in ,great interview got to know a little bit more detail about horse guard.and his own opinion.also good to know he made an amazing friendship with you,I hope one day the podcaster interviews you.
Welcome back to the wonderful B&R!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Great to hear you speaking Russian to the Kazakhstan tourists...I bet they really appreciated that!!! Thanks John..great to have you back!!! ❤❤❤ xxxxxx
John, I think your idea of doing Europe tours is brilliant! I look forward to it happening. Also Ireland could be a thought I really enjoyed your Paris walks, and would look forward to a Rome walk very much!
Enjoyed as alzways. I survivied the hurricane. We got a LOT of rain and some wind but nothing bad. I figured it was far enough east to spare us again. Ill just keep praying it keeps sparing us for a while. I don't want another Hurricane Michael anytime soon. Praying for all those who were affected.
I know this comment is very late coming, I watch your show on my TV and can’t comment. But you asked if we enjoyed you walking around before going to the horses. I had to get my phone. I love it I’ll never get to London, probably not get out of Virginia (USA). I love your guides and seeing the guardsmen, I agree with about respect. Thank you for your tours Love them
Coffee time. Raining here too,bad weather coming from the gulf of Mexico into Kentucky. Mob of people at the guard today. Have fun john glad you're back from holiday.
Hello from Lebanon Ct USA John, So nice to have you back. You were missed. I believe Norseman's facial marking is a diamond and not a star. Cool to have two "Vikings" in the boxes this morning. That was a great interview with Peter. Thank you for posting the link. Have a wonderful rest of the day.
Awww No Ormonde 😢 Can't wait to see his take on the new "no go area" outside the box..will he be pleased no one can touch him OR furious that his favourite game "sneak a bite of a tourist" will no longer be possible? 😂😂 Where the DELIGHTFUL Ormonde is concerned ANYTHING can & frequently does happen 🤭🤣🤣❤️😘
Hi Everyone, last LifeGuard Horse on duty was Winterfell (Chitsman side). Unfortunately, could not identify the horse on the Gatesman side. Blues & Royals horses replacing Winterfell is Thor. First time seeing Norseman (Gatesman side).
Love the blue hair ! used to dye mine the same I think it's termed seahorse if green is added. I also had Fire hair, coral red crown, merge to orange then to yellow. You see some super sights don't you John ? :)
Oh my John, it is really cold in London! For those used to F° 10-12C° is equal to 50-53°, however with the wind chill it's probably about 46-48°F depends on how strong the wind is blowing plus the damp. Believe me, that's cold.
How disrespectful these tourists are. And I disagree with Guards allowing some to touch the horse. That's going to be seen by all and EVERY tourist will just ignore the rules. If rules are set down. All Guards need to protect the Kings Guards Horses. Not pick and choose who can come into the box. Why are they allowing this?
I have missed seeing Mr. Monde, 'The Enhorser!' He enthusiastically nips crimes against the King's Lifeguards and their new rules in the bud. Take a bite out of crime! I adore Mr. Monde.😊❤
I understand it gives mixed messages but i think you are correct it is up to the Trooper as he/she knows the characteristic of the Horse to tell the public to keep the other side of the line.
WHY DO THESE PEOPLE SEE THAT THERE IS A WHITE LINE ON THE GROUND AND YET THEY CROSS IT WITH ONE FEET?!! Also who is this handsome young lad on horse near the end of vid😍?
Hi John shame about the weather its cold but dry here in Nottingham for a change 😂 Glad its dry though we have the Goose Fair opening at 1600 hours. You should see the crowd's up there my day's 😮 pick pockets paradise. Anyway i wonder why Ormonde isn't coming over i miss him maybe next time 🤞 Thank you John Stay Safe ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello John from Australia 28/9/2024 - Where is our great lady police officer she would have them behind the line or out the gate, the numbers are absolutely ridiculous, there should some way of limiting the numbers. I still think they need signs on both sides of the boxes. Some of the silent blogs are very boring, that's why I like listening to your comments. Still making the silly hand signs, I wonder what they get out of making them. I'd like to buy coffee but don't know how to do it from here, I like coffee too. Well so far so good today.
Love watching your vids….its 2.00am Saturday morning here in New Zealand. Looks cold over there, mind you cool here also. Thank you for bringing such a great blogger.
With the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the fact that Russian police can arrest anyone who they think is a journalist or spie, I would not go to Russia. And since you carry a pole with a camera on it, John, I wouldn't put it past the police to arrest you.
No reason to think Ormonde is ill , remember 100 horses in each regiment only 12 are at Horse Guards for duty , there are many others we haven't seen for months. Some will be at Hyde Park , some may be at Combermere Barracks or at Melton Mowbray Defence Animal Training Regiment for a break or with new recruits .
Just to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy your narratives in your videos. So refreshing compared to many of the other sites........thank you and hope you do well
John, it’s a good theory that enforcing staying behind the new white lines is up to the individual guard, however, that doesn’t explain why they are allowing the horses to be touched, as we saw on Wednesday afternoon. I do agree that we do not know what they’ve been instructed to do. So very happy to have you back! Loving your extra witty repartee today! Love & appreciation from Royal Oak, Michigan USA ♥️🇺🇸🐴🐴🇬🇧♥️
Good Morning John...rainy day in London here in Hawaii is hot and muggy. Yes Alot of new ppl filming and I notice new channel's lol😂😅 "FONZI" 😂😅😂😅.Have a Safe and Awesome Day ALOHA From Hawaii ❤❤❤❤
Indiana under a wind advisory today. Its is really gusty. As pooh bear fans would Happy Windsday! Yeah Thorn! He has such character in his expressions. Glad to see him back. Thank you as always for a great video. Your humor always makes me laugh
Good afternoon John. Wow. Still so many tourists. Great video. Hello to Thor in the right box and Norseman in the left. We haven’t see Norseman for quite some time. I have a picture of him in March. Very handsome. 😊😊. Tourists are well behaved so far.
Bible Basher ?! that's funny, that's how the Royal Navy called their Chaplains.... But wish you a good afternoon and Ormonde will come, he's still preparing himself.
Hello 👋🏻 I was late seeing this video. We were in the path of Hurricane Helene in the United States. We lost service last night. So much storm damage in areas. Another great entertaining video, Thanks John!
When I lived in England the red phone box was just past my house and was my ONLY phone(before cell phones and getting a house phone was super expensive! )Sometimes I really miss village life.
A certain youtuber has been commenting that they can't enforce the rules to stay out the new box lines. He states it's a public highway so people can stand where they want. I would have thought the mod had permission to paint the lines and for public safety can tell people to stay outside the box. Anyone know?
Whitehall is a public footpath under Westminster Council so there would have been discussions and negotiations between London District and Westminster Council about painting the lines . They are for public safety not for protection of the horses .
The Blues and Royal's are definitely the most impressive looking guards at HorseGuards, i think their colours suit the background more & also because they show the Red, White & Blue of the Union Jack.... Maybe they had to remove the cloak's because they got so wet as they came in, also with so much rain running off the cloak's soaks the horses... Maybe we'll learn more as the morning goes on 🇬🇧❤️😘😘
Would be lovely to see Ormonde, if people behave and stay out of his reach he should be allowed to come back and stand in between the white lines. No Ormonde sadly😢 Poor soaked horses and guards, so many odd things happening here this time. Wish the tourists would sod of back to their own countries. Changed but not effective! Not positive lots has been tried and found wanting on many levels but what disgusts me completely is the contempt for the horses these guards show by not say anything to make the tourists obey the rules. To my mind troopers should look after each other and this should include the trooper horses. Ziggy and Wilfred take a beautiful picture! Don't care what they have been told, their first and last job is to make sure the rules that are posted are obeyed. They don't have to scream or shout jus raise there voice slightly and tell the moronic tourists what to do, two of the life guards hardly raised their voices and were very effective. Well done to that MOD policeman. They should never allow so many people in the yard at horse change over! Probably their cloaks are soaked and would not be warm enough to wear, they are probably drying them out in the stables What a surprise the Chinese breaking the rules and he said nothing. Out of the box means both feet on the outside of the white line. If they stand on the right side of the line they shouldn't be able to reach the horses. We know exactly what will happen SOD ALL!!!!!!!!! I'm off I cannot bear to see the tourists taking the piss and not being told off! Have a good weekend John!
Enjoyed that intro London walk-about. Beautiful, magnificent horses !! about Kazakhstan, I've recently begun to learn more about this beautiful country through a singing group MEZZO...look it up, they are great and are domiciled in Almaty, the capital, tho they have also performed in Astana. They mostly speak Kazakhstani, tho there is a portion of the people who also speak Russian.
Yes, John, I also didn't recognise the Blues and Royals horse that came so close to you when the horses moved into position for the first shift. However, the other Blues and Royals horse with the blaze running right down the face is Thor. Thank you - I just heard your id of Norseman close to the end of the video and have added his name to my description.
Good morning, John. Glad you had a great vacation. I enjoy your channel because of your commentary and interaction with the people. I especially like your "horsey" conversations. 😅
Signs say (do not touch the horse) ! What happens if one was to reach out with open palm under horse's mouth and FEED him or her (meaning horse) something such as half a seedless peach or apple???? Know horse would eat ! But result to me?
@maggiemadwestiemum4511 . Originally Marine Police in 1798. Became Thames River Police in 1800. Became part of the Metropolitan Police in 1839 - Thames Division .
I was in the Women’s Royal Army Corps in the 1980’s and shirt sleeve order came in on the 1st of May and ended 1st October. I think it’s the same now. It was announced in standing orders.
Winterfell was at the showing of the Zoe Carmichael bronze horse statues last night , 26th standing in for Hastings who was one of the horses modelled .
A delightful video, for the most part.....go figure. Silly tourists, deaf tourists, completely brain dead tourists. I'm amazed at how some people actually make it through life these days...**sigh** Lovely to see the Blues and Royals back looking so splendid. I'm hoping they are on top of the new line rule and my blood pressure stays at normal levels...LOL! Thanks for braving the rain, the yuck and the tourists so those of us across the world, who can't be in London, can at least experience it through your hard work. Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.
56:35 enjoying the video, thank you John. Would love to have a tour of Moscow, always wanted to go there but unlikely to ever get there. The crowds seem to be roughly keeping behind the white lines too.

Hoy un día lluvioso . Mis hermosos guardias y mi bellos caballos 💂🐎🐴💂♀️ en mucha tranquilidad. ❤❤❤🥰🥰
I had to stop watching yesterday when the changed over guard was allowing people to come into the box and touch the horses. Not good for my blood pressure.
Também fico nervosa tenho 72 anos tenho pressão alta nunca vi tanta gente sem educação sem respeito 😡😡😡😡
I’m right there with you! The Guards are not consistent in telling tourists to stay out of the box and I’m beyond frustrated watching these videos!
It’s ridiculous! There should be uniform enforcement.
Those beautiful horses do not deserve to spend an hour fighting off visitors who won’t read.
Someone needs to assure the guards enforce this!!
Me to, i kept cursing him on my phone when i was watching him lol. Not good for my blood pressure either.
I manage a vape shop in the United States and every day I have your videos in my store and people actually sit and watch
Brilliant!
Sounds cozy!
Nice one ❤
I watched a Podcast yesterday with our favourite Trooper.He gave you a mention which was nice of him.Its great to have you back !
Thank you for going through the archway and showing what is on the opposite side. We rarely get a view of that courtyard.
hi John, I saw Peter on the "Monday Morning Critic Podcast", your name was mentioned and some really nice things were said by Peter & the podcaster!
That interview is here: ruclips.net/video/z6gJei9P0dk/видео.html 👍
Ty for the info! I watched the podcast and really enjoyed it :)
I saw this too such a humble young man, loved his love of the horses kissing one on the nose and making sure that the disabled children got a photo with a guard and his laser stare when touched by the woman outside the gates on gates man duty! Heart of gold He mentioned what a good friend you are to him John💛💖
Peter was brilliant, as always. Loved the interview too!
petre said you John are a very good friend
Happy you are back John missed your humor and your narration.
Right on,John's the best he has a great sense of humor❤
Hi John, I watched the Peter interview, he said amazing things about you. ❤
good afternoon john hope ormonde is OK poor horse sending horsey love to him
Another great day at Horse Guard's with you. Missing Sir Monde and Arnie but lovely horses and Blues and Royals troopers. Love your interactions with the other peasants 😊. Would love to see and listen to other tours you do around the world ! Cheers
Awfully glad you took the time to go out back and visit the police horses Wilfred and Ziggy John. Presented an oportunity for such a splendid screen shot of them. That was beautiful with the B&R coming through the tunnel with the first 3 abreast. Thanks John. kiwi 😊
Thank you John for your interesting slots cannot comment often as eyesight and joint problems means that it takes a very long long time to comment. 😅
Watched a lovely interview with Mr. Ellis yesterday you were mentioned in the best possible way👍🏼🌻😎
Horses are magnificent she's in the Box get out of the box gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous horses thank you for sharing this with us all the time
John, I would not worry about those 3.None are nearly as funny, curtious and such a superior Gent as you.❤😊
I worked as a telephone operator when I was younger. There was a row of red phone boxes in the centre of Bristol. The amount of times delightful children would phone and tell us to "Get off the line, there's a train coming!" Lovely......
I notice just how much more calm the horses are with the new rules!!

Invader with the white eyebrows , gorgeous old boy 😘
@kathellison8084 isn't Invader a recent retiree to The Horse trust?
@marywood6270 . I haven't seen any report on him being there and I look every day !
I haven't seen anything about him retiring !
@kathellison8084 just been on their website and I think I'm getting the name mixed up with incognito
I know this comment is very late coming, I watch your show on my TV and can’t comment. But you asked if we enjoyed you walking around before going to the horses. I had to get my phone. I love it I’ll never get to London, probably not get out of Virginia (USA). I love your guides and seeing the guardsmen, I agree with about respect.

Hello from Lebanon Ct USA John,
So nice to have you back. You were missed.
I believe Norseman's facial marking is a diamond and not a star.
Cool to have two "Vikings" in the boxes this morning.
That was a great interview with Peter. Thank you for posting the link.
Have a wonderful rest of the day.
There was another " Viking " Odin but he's retired now 😁
Awww No Ormonde 😢
Can't wait to see his take on the new "no go area" outside the box..will he be pleased no one can touch him OR furious that his favourite game "sneak a bite of a tourist" will no longer be possible?

Hi John love your channel Keep them coming From Down under🇦🇺😊
Umbrellas ☂️ can be difficult for horses 🐴
I understand it gives mixed messages but i think you are correct it is up to the Trooper as he/she knows the characteristic of the Horse to tell the public to keep the other side of the line.
WHY DO THESE PEOPLE SEE THAT THERE IS A WHITE LINE ON THE GROUND AND YET THEY CROSS IT WITH ONE FEET?!!
Also who is this handsome young lad on horse near the end of vid😍?

Great to see the Blues and Royals as always looking sharp, thanks for braving the weather John.
H they would paint white lines around the arches might cut down on the silliness of " certain groups".
Ormonde, according to someone close to the troopers, is not going to be around for some time. He’s not in the current rotation.
Oh no Ormonde and Q-10 are my favourite😢❤
Is Ormonde ill??
@@Cynthia-g8t1n I hope not .Apparently he is not in the current rotation.
No reason to think Ormonde is ill , remember 100 horses in each regiment only 12 are at Horse Guards for duty , there are many others we haven't seen for months.

Like your shots of the guards and horses in the boxes John. Really nice showing the lines at the same time
B&R looked stunning riding in.thankyou john for braving weather
Mister banana sticks out in that crowd 😄
Indiana under a wind advisory today. Its is really gusty. As pooh bear fans would Happy Windsday!
Yeah Thorn! He has such character in his expressions. Glad to see him back. Thank you as always for a great video. Your humor always makes me laugh
Afternoon john and everybody,at kjea least today its not turned into a stroking box..we are not amsterdam
Good afternoon John. Wow. Still so many tourists. Great video. Hello to Thor in the right box and Norseman in the left. We haven’t see Norseman for quite some time. I have a picture of him in March. Very handsome. 😊😊. Tourists are well behaved so far.
Perfect timing John. Thank you.
Missed you bunches. Broke my arm and needed your humor to occupy my time. Glad you’re back. ❤❤❤😊
Bible Basher ?! that's funny, that's how the Royal Navy called their Chaplains.... But wish you a good afternoon and Ormonde will come, he's still preparing himself.
Cosmetic surgery if you ask me......
Morning John so glad to see the Blues back!! Let’s hope they take control!!😱😱
Check out the photos and videos from last night’s Horse Guards event. The old building looked amazing with videos projected on it.
@geliconner9669 . The photos are amazing , and the bronze horses Wow! Zoe Carmichael is one very talented lady 😀
Where do we find them?
Hello 👋🏻
I was late seeing this video. We were in the path of Hurricane Helene in the United States. We lost service last night. So much storm damage in areas. Another great entertaining video, Thanks John!
When I lived in England the red phone box was just past my house and was my ONLY phone(before cell phones and getting a house phone was super expensive! )Sometimes I really miss village life.
So nice to hear you back 😊 ( just watched 1 hour of total silence) from the one who filmed. Waste of time 😊 Its also cold here in 🇩🇰
A certain youtuber has been commenting that they can't enforce the rules to stay out the new box lines. He states it's a public highway so people can stand where they want. I would have thought the mod had permission to paint the lines and for public safety can tell people to stay outside the box. Anyone know?
Whitehall is a public footpath under Westminster Council so there would have been discussions and negotiations between London District and Westminster Council about painting the lines . They are for public safety not for protection of the horses .
It wouldn’t have made sense to paint the lines for no reason at all! That RUclipsr doesn’t know anything! 🙄
The Blues and Royal's are definitely the most impressive looking guards at HorseGuards, i think their colours suit the background more & also because they show the Red, White & Blue of the Union Jack.... Maybe they had to remove the cloak's because they got so wet as they came in, also with so much rain running off the cloak's soaks the horses... Maybe we'll learn more as the morning goes on 🇬🇧❤️😘😘
Another great video!!! Ty John!!
That police boat you saw was a Botnia Targa with raised bow cabin. 🤔🏴👍
Thank you very Mach fore the video John, it's in Londen even so Mach raining , if it does in the Netherlands 😢
Thanks for pausing that beautiful shot at 29:00. Have a good weekend, John.
Would be lovely to see Ormonde, if people behave and stay out of his reach he should be allowed to come back and stand in between the white lines. No Ormonde sadly😢 Poor soaked horses and guards, so many odd things happening here this time. Wish the tourists would sod of back to their own countries. Changed but not effective! Not positive lots has been tried and found wanting on many levels but what disgusts me completely is the contempt for the horses these guards show by not say anything to make the tourists obey the rules. To my mind troopers should look after each other and this should include the trooper horses. Ziggy and Wilfred take a beautiful picture! Don't care what they have been told, their first and last job is to make sure the rules that are posted are obeyed. They don't have to scream or shout jus raise there voice slightly and tell the moronic tourists what to do, two of the life guards hardly raised their voices and were very effective. Well done to that MOD policeman. They should never allow so many people in the yard at horse change over! Probably their cloaks are soaked and would not be warm enough to wear, they are probably drying them out in the stables What a surprise the Chinese breaking the rules and he said nothing. Out of the box means both feet on the outside of the white line. If they stand on the right side of the line they shouldn't be able to reach the horses. We know exactly what will happen SOD ALL!!!!!!!!! I'm off I cannot bear to see the tourists taking the piss and not being told off! Have a good weekend John!
Enjoyed that intro London walk-about. Beautiful, magnificent horses !!
about Kazakhstan, I've recently begun to learn more about this beautiful country through a singing group MEZZO...look it up, they are great and are domiciled in Almaty, the capital, tho they have also performed in Astana. They mostly speak Kazakhstani, tho there is a portion of the people who also speak Russian.
awww with the new painted white lines in front of the box ( about time they did that) Ormond is not going to have fun pushing and biting😅
Hi John, evening here in Corfu. Loving the fact that you are now back. X
Yes, John, I also didn't recognise the Blues and Royals horse that came so close to you when the horses moved into position for the first shift. However, the other Blues and Royals horse with the blaze running right down the face is Thor.
Thank you - I just heard your id of Norseman close to the end of the video and have added his name to my description.
Good morning, John. Glad you had a great vacation. I enjoy your channel because of your commentary and interaction with the people. I especially like your "horsey" conversations. 😅
Welcome back!
Signs say (do not touch the horse) ! What happens if one was to reach out with open palm under horse's mouth and FEED him or her (meaning horse) something such as half a seedless peach or apple???? Know horse would eat ! But result to me?
I love to watch Joe kirby ministries from England. I live in bible belt in usa.
John there is a separate division of Water police like the transport police

@@kathellison8084 Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Good afternoon John Caroline Scotland.
Sunshine and blue skies for me today in Scotland. Sooo many tourists still in London.
I was in the Women’s Royal Army Corps in the 1980’s and shirt sleeve order came in on the 1st of May and ended 1st October. I think it’s the same now. It was announced in standing orders.
Life Guard horses: Yeti on the left, Winterfell on the right.
Winterfell was at the showing of the Zoe Carmichael bronze horse statues last night , 26th standing in for Hastings who was one of the horses modelled .
@@kathellison8084Those sculptures were incredible and the tunnel looked awesome with the lighting.
A delightful video, for the most part.....go figure. Silly tourists, deaf tourists, completely brain dead tourists. I'm amazed at how some people actually make it through life these days...**sigh** Lovely to see the Blues and Royals back looking so splendid. I'm hoping they are on top of the new line rule and my blood pressure stays at normal levels...LOL! Thanks for braving the rain, the yuck and the tourists so those of us across the world, who can't be in London, can at least experience it through your hard work. Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.
56:35 enjoying the video, thank you John. Would love to have a tour of Moscow, always wanted to go there but unlikely to ever get there. The crowds seem to be roughly keeping behind the white lines too.
John I love your sense of humor 😃😃😃
I think Ormonde has put his hoof down and refused to go back where he can't reach any tourists to bite. 😄
