      THE BEST Teacher, I have SEEN or HEARD here so far! He gave a great description of the King's Horse Guards; I learned so much from it, and I would imagine his class will remember this field trip for many years to come, because of the time this young man took to actually educate the students in the way they should treat and respect these soldiers, and their horses, plus a good bit of their History, in away they could relate to them.
      This would be the way both verbally, and in their printed brochures; the Commercial Tour Guides on the giant busses full of Tourists should be "coaching" their clients -- it certainly would prevent some of the nonsense and mayhem I have seen since April's videos (when I started watching this Channel).

    The Life Guards were until 1788 called The Horse Guards. Hence the name of the building. This was the entrance to Westminster Palace, which was destroyed by fire. It's still the official entrance to the the Monarch's residence though.
    There were orginally three "Troops" Kin'g, Queen's and Scots. The Scots Troop kept their horses in a stable yard across the road. It's still called "Scotland Yard" and was the HQ the Metropolitan Police

The school children were not tourists but on an educational visit. The soldier had probably been briefed in readiness for the visit, hence his answering their questions. The staff, a good staff/student ratio, were in control.

    That Tour Guide Was Very Knowledgeable of the Kings Guards and the Horse Guards. It was Nice to Hear things about the Guards and Their Duties. The Painter Was as Masterful in his Art of the Guard., Bravo. The Children and the King's Guard was Well Done, Hopefully one of the Children will Maybe Be a King's Guard and Be able to say to the Next Group o Children, "I was Once Like You, I saw Honor and Pride in the Guard the Day My Class Visited. "God Save the King, God Bless America and God Help Us With Prez JB"....US Navy Veteran, (Disabled) 11 Yrs of Service Honorable Retired.

    The children all have day glo jackets on so you can see they are organised well.

    Well done to the guide. He should be there all the time. Stop all the idiots grabbing the reins.

    Great instructions and information. Too bad he can’t speak to the dozens that are so disrespectful.
