What alot of visitors don't realize is that the soldiers on duty are real trained and armed soldiers, and the horses are working service animals. Don't touch the horses. lots of respect to the veteran.
I´m pretty sure thats up to the guard on duty and dependent on what horse they have. The guard must have known that horse was very calm and stable so it wouldent randomly bite or make a sudden move so he was okey with a gentle touch as he knew the horse dident mind it. If he hade a horse more prone to biting as we can se in some videos he would never have allowed the ppl to get that close especially not the kid who was standing less the a foot from it.

Generations apart but they are still brothers. The salute with the sword was beautiful and deserved for this decorated hero. Makes me proud to be British! The young man who stepped out of his way was brought up well too 👏
Sorry to be nit-picky, but the Marine isn't 'decorated' - taking a look at the medals on his chest, they're basically campaign medals for being in theatre (issued to anyone who was there or partook in supporting ops) - to be 'decorated' one has to have one of the following examples (not exhaustive): Victoria Cross George Cross Conspicuous Gallantry Cross Military Cross Distinguished Service Cross Distinguished Flying Cross Air Force Cross Anyone awarded one of the above medals is entitled to have the post-nominal letters after their name, VC, GC, CGC, MC etc and is thus 'decorated'
Do you know who the great man is? By the looks of it, NO. Are you British or not? I know who he is and I'm Argentinian, go to the cavalry regiment and ask. @@bobpage6597
Love the way the Guardsman, instantly makes a sword salute to the Royal Marine veteran. These two gentleman are separated by decades in age and service but the respect between them is obvious and palpable.
@@Rogue66669 Really? I have studied military history most of my life. There are many forms of armed salute and they have changed a great deal over the centuries as weapons evolved. The mounted guard could not salute the veteran properly with a sword in one hand and the reins in his other, so he did what he could. I have seen that gesture before in historical texts, rendered by those under arms while on guard duty. It is not quite a salute and not quite present arms, but still, everyone with an ounce of dignity will recognize it as a sign of respect. The whole POINT of a salute is to show respect. That is what that young soldier did. I don't think the King would disapprove or any of the guard's superiors.
He sure has some medals. However, many service personnel have medals for the Coronation and for three Jubilees - all fine and dandy but not medals for operations, whether war or campaigns.
@@lestermay5878 In my book, anyone who has given service for his/her country in active warfare deserves massive respect irrespective of how many or how few medals they have received. The fact that they put their lives at risk - and tragically so, so many gave their lives - for their country and for people like us is worth a million medals and I am grateful to every single one of them. “Lest we forget”.
In his age he had fight and served in Iraq/Gulf war (33 yrs ago), he is too young for WW 2 but maximum Falkland. I dont think that you get these medals for normal service without fighting.
I love how he just strolls up to the Guard and starts chatting with them😂 of course I don't think anyone would dare reprimand them for breaking their bearing talking to a decorated vet
That Gentleman is a Retired Serviceman. Anyone Serving has a Huge Respect for Veterans, the "Old Boys" of the various Regiments & Services. God Bless Him & all Veterans.
Please Note: The gentleman in the green beret [green lid] is not a Royal Marine Officer. He is a Royal Marine [Boot neck [Bootie]. Royal Marine officer baret badges are different from Royal Marines. Respect to him and the service he has given to the United Kingdom. The Royal Marines are the only military branch to train their own officers. They don't trust Sandhurst!
Nice to see one of the Corps, I don't know how old this chap is, but I reckon he's younger than me. I'm 70yrs old and joined the Royal Marines on my 18th birthday. I left the Corps after 10yrs in 1980 and 2yrs later the Falklands Conflict started. I remember shedding tears as I watched them leave for the South Atlantic, I wished I was going with them. Later on in the conflict I heard that 4 of my old oppo's who stayed in the RM's after I left, were killed in action. I cried buckets. Rest in Peace my brothers in arms.
@martinbootneck meanwhile, further down the list, some are doubting this Royal is a gen Royal. Fancy coming down to help? Thanks for your service Martin, from another brother's wife. We lost a fair few good oppos during that conflict. Rest easy lads, with fair winds and following seas. Valhalla is where they are. X
A serviceman or woman always recognises another who has served. It is great to see the mutual respect that so many civilians will never understand. Hats off to both of them.
Different to germany where soldiers were spitted in public and no veteran talks about or show his medals in public. And i dont talk about Wehrmacht soldiers, they are all dead now.
Much respect to the soldier on the horse. First the respect he showed to the veteran. Second for controlling the horse. The tourists have know idea what respect is.
All due respect to the Royal Marine officer he has done his Country proud with his service and bravery. It was great to see the mutual respect from both the Trooper and the Royal Matine
He wasn't an officer so shouldn't have been saluted, and should have said that he wasn't an officer, and he showed zero respect for the trooper by interfering with him and putting him in an impossible position. No respect at all for his own cap badge or either of the troopers.
@@John-GYou have no idea what is french marine commando and how much they (this commando in particular) respect great britain army and soldier (it's unique in France and maybe in the world). Please learn about Marine Commando before talk next time.
There it is, the respect that military men and women have for each other and military personal past. That very slight salute to a veteran was golden, and that veteran appreciated it. Also note the distance between him and the horse. How absolutely wonderful.
There have been so many young men who have lost their lives through wars past and present so that people may live in peace now all these countries are racing to see who can make the most nuclear weapons and who will be the most powerful country if someone presses the button no one will exist so what those men gave their lives for will have been for nothing .
Normally the guards isnt allowed to talk, but its a different to meet a veteran with lots of medals or a stupid tourist who means that it is show and costume...
@Debra Parsons, they deserve all the respect, they absolutely earned those medals. Remembering all our fallen, and from this Royal Marines family, PMPT Royals with fair winds and following seas. Xxx
Both the older gentleman and the mounted Guard "gave respect" to oneanother. Many civilians have no idea what forces personnel have had to endure, both physically, mentally and psychologically, during their years of military service.
Reminds me of my Passing out Parade back in 78 the whole family came down to see it as they do, I was in the same Regiment on the Trooper on the Horse, my Grand Father was there, when they found out that he fought in the First war and at the Somme he was treated like a VIP by everybody including the Officers I was more proud of him than they were of me made my day sadly he passed away about 3 years later, they found a bullet the tip of a bayonet and bits of shrapnel in him just before he died when he had a Scan, no one knew he never mentioned it, don't make them like that anymore.
Why do people feel the need to touch a military horse without permission! Not from the UK but even I know it's not allowed. Thank you for your service to your country and ours 👏👏👏
Really? After serving for two decades, from Dhofar to Northern Ireland, Cyprus, the Falklands, the Gulf and Cambodia, I don't regret a second but I'd feel a bit more "respected" if my state pension wasn't frozen because I live abroad and I wasn't charged 150% of cost for the NHS if I ever go back to the UK although I still pay tax on my military pension! Thank you for your service 😢
Too bad that British ppl dont remember who fought and died for thier country. Jałta treaty is perfect example they dont give a crap on others. Much love to others veterans who died to defend not just British ppl but whole world.
So many on youtube fit the" been there,done that,got the tee shirt" type. The guard duly recognised the " been there, done that,got the medals" type. Respect.
Brothers in arms. I like that. You know, in the end, these Royal Guards don't seem to be any different than any other person you meet. Respect given, respect earned. Be polite. You might get a display of appreciation - even if you're a mere tourist.
I'm happy to see all the tourist being as respectful as they were as other videos in high numbers have shown otherwise. Enjoyed that special moment between the old gaurd and the new.
On remembrance day, if you go to a royal legion bar after the 2 mins silence, your see very old and young service men sit next to each other and just talk experiences. Once me and my mates was sat having a good drink. We shaw this old boy on his own. Called him over bought his drinks. He was a raf spitfire fighter pilot from ww2. Sat with vets from Afghanistan and Iraq. What a humble experience it was. Freedom is never free, some body has to pay the price.
@@seanshukoski3457 What else could he do? He has three choices, all in full view of the tourists: 1) to acknowledge him and talk to him as if he's a 'veteran'; 2) to ignore him; 3) to acknowledge him as 1, but accuse him of being a fraud and not a genuine 'veteran'. Option 1 is incorrect but simple, not controversial, and polite, regardless of whether he's a genuine veteran or a Walt and a fraud, or somewhere in-between. Option 2 is correct, but looks rude and disrespectful to someone who appears to the tourists to be a decorated veteran (as many here have assumed he is), although it's questionable. Option 3 is correct, ("F*ck off with your fake medals, you Walt w*nker") but appears even more rude and disrespectful, etc, than 2 even if it's 100% justified. Bear in mind that the trooper is clearly young, and on his first tour after his recruit training, and will almost certainly have no idea what any of the medals are.
Every time I looked these videos, I always be shocked, that the people have not a minimum of respect for the soldiers, they work on this place😮😮😮😮 . This respect for a veteran is great......❤
Yeah, all a beautiful connection between ages and lots of respect from the young marine who salutes the veterans. Who kept this country safe, young and old.😊😊❤❤
@@verali164 actually here in the UK where the Royal Marines Commandos are trained, they are the most elite fighting force in the world. We also say Once a Royal Marine, always a Royal Marine, or OARMAARM. PMPT Royal. Xxx
@@Ann-vc1pyso still basically saying once a marine always a marine. Doesn't matter which country your from we're still apart of the brotherhood of being a marine.
The respect for those in the service by those that have served is great to see. Just a shame that many civilians don't seem to show that same respect. The horses are in the service and therefore should be respected as any of their human counterparts. Don't touch any creature that is in the services.
These men and women who are part of the kings guard are all highly trained professional soldiers. When they are not doing public duties they are either on military exercises or military operations around the world. I serve but I am not involved in public duties I respect these men and women who perform their duties day in day out and their turnout and bearing are of the highest standards.
That little boy with the dinosaur t-shirt at the end looked so happy to be stroking the horse. I know tourists shouldn’t be touching the horses but I couldn’t begrudge this boy his moment of pleasure.
There's a beautiful moment when you understand that the royal guards are also soldiers like the others but whit a different function and it's sad to see how tourists try to annoy those men. Being a royal guard it's like be a soldier or a Police. Please more respect to them.
sorry you're a bit mistaken the soldiers in the royal guard come from various regiments and are not permanent they don't spend their entire military careers in the royal guard at one point they go back to their regiments and many of them have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. So they are real soldiers.
I will say the British army has some of the most majestic mounts on the planet.they are a thing of beauty, i didnt have anything to do with horses whilst i was in service, different branch of the army but i did do a bit around them in my civilian life, and if you are not used to horses they can be a big scary animal, with a mind of there own, so the high level of training the black mounts of the guards ride are selected from the best of the best. By nature horses are skittish around loud noises, same as any animal so to get them to remain calm when crowds are shouting and bands are playing is testimony to the lads and lasses that train them, and if there wasnt a huge bond and trust between horse and rider it just wouldn't work. i will say it again the horses of the guards are beautiful beasts.
I’ve never been to England and unfortunately may not ever but even I know to show respect to the kings guards and their horses, which includes not trying to touch the horses. Guards too.
What alot of visitors don't realize is that the soldiers on duty are real trained and armed soldiers, and the horses are working service animals. Don't touch the horses. lots of respect to the veteran.
Some guards have been known to allow people to touch the horses.
I´m pretty sure thats up to the guard on duty and dependent on what horse they have. The guard must have known that horse was very calm and stable so it wouldent randomly bite or make a sudden move so he was okey with a gentle touch as he knew the horse dident mind it. If he hade a horse more prone to biting as we can se in some videos he would never have allowed the ppl to get that close especially not the kid who was standing less the a foot from it.

He didn't salute - he came to attention, to show respect.

There's a beautiful moment when you understand that the royal guards are also soldiers like the others but whit a different function and it's sad to see how tourists try to annoy those men. Being a royal guard it's like be a soldier or a Police. Please more respect to them.
sorry you're a bit mistaken the soldiers in the royal guard come from various regiments and are not permanent they don't spend their entire military careers in the royal guard at one point they go back to their regiments and many of them have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. So they are real soldiers.
BZ Royal and BZ to the trooper for saluting the RM vet
@scottkerrison2913, Amen to that Royal. Xxx
I will say the British army has some of the most majestic mounts on the planet.they are a thing of beauty, i didnt have anything to do with horses whilst i was in service, different branch of the army but i did do a bit around them in my civilian life, and if you are not used to horses they can be a big scary animal, with a mind of there own, so the high level of training the black mounts of the guards ride are selected from the best of the best. By nature horses are skittish around loud noises, same as any animal so to get them to remain calm when crowds are shouting and bands are playing is testimony to the lads and lasses that train them, and if there wasnt a huge bond and trust between horse and rider it just wouldn't work. i will say it again the horses of the guards are beautiful beasts.
the guard speaks with him.. never seen that before
Nice sword salute from the soldier before the Veteran walks away.
The kiosk has been in the same place for years . The guards never used to walk up and down that side
Older but still with the slight swagger .
I loved seeing the guy with the top hat and catweazle hair.
A green beret, what he must have done and seen to earn those medals 😮
Things you probs wouldn't wanna tell you
He didn't earn them.
At least 2 war zones according to the medals.

England is old and cold, but white and smooth like the fairest young woman. Argentinian who loves his country and culture.
Not an officer he's not wearing a split cap badge
The crown should be separate from the globe and laurels
Sempre tem um brasileiro no meio !!!
I’ve never been to England and unfortunately may not ever but even I know to show respect to the kings guards and their horses, which includes not trying to touch the horses. Guards too.
If they are still wearing miniskirts then I need to be there right now! I'm so upset that no one informed me smh.
Always with friends in the Forces.
