I am so happy that you were able to approach that group…you were eloquent and it was awesome that they were able to understand that the guards are actually doing a job and not there for entertainment…JOHN YOU ARE THE BEST! 😊
Well done, John. You explained what Horse Guards is to the visitors from Israel and they listened and understood and were enlightened and respected your interaction. Now they know the guards are not there for their amusement.
Your chat with the folks monopolizing the guards space was so well done and needed. Bravo! I'm pleased they took the time to hear you out and perhaps they'll pass the message along to others .
As I said yesterday, John, you are the most wonderful unofficial ambassador of Horse Guards. Given the chance, as you were by this lovely family, you are able to explain the workings of HGs, its history and its need for respect and hopefully, admiration. I knew that you felt defensive at the beginning of the conversation, expecting the worst (as we’ve seen at times) followed by a relaxed explanation of the gatesman’s duties. They were genuinely interested and engaging and seemed to understand your conversation. You truly were able to turn their visit around in the right direction, stopping the ridicule of the guard. The clown prince of Spain was a different story entirely. He should have been tossed out by the MOD officers. Did you attempt to speak to him after the video ended? With love & admiration always, Lynn in Michigan USA ♥️🇺🇸🐴🐴🇬🇧♥️
I have to say that I didn't expect you to end up having a pretty decent, polite and adult conversation with these people, judging from the failed attempts in the past to try to get past the 'I cant speak English' part. This group must be the better ones of most of those I've seen in HP. Well done to you when I finally heard them say 'thanks for explaining and we understand now'. I actually saw a male adult stopping his kid from mimicking the guard's march whilst you were speaking with the ladies. ❤
Well done, John in your diplomatic way of educating these tourists. Hope they pass on what they've learnt to their friends. Goodness, we wouldn't go to Israel and make fun of their military! Absolutely not and unbelievable previously they thought it ok to do to our soldiers. They especially should show respect bearing in mind what happened in history .... need I say more.
It isn't only the UK military unfortunately. There are videos of ''tourists'' making fun of the Greek guards, RCMPs and the Swiss Guard at the Vatican. They seem to think anyone that even vaguely resembles characters from disney or hollyweird must be an actor or a tourist attraction. And then others ''justify'' it online by claiming they should dress like proper soldiers [unfortunately often from a country NOT in Europe/Africa/bits in between] and who would go to war dressed like that. I hope it is ignorance, I suspect it is stupidity mixed with a certain amount of superiority - especially at present - thinking their country leads the way and everyone should follow suit.
Wow, what a wonderful interaction between you and the tourists from Israel and the respect, interest and admiration that they showed to you and the Horse Guards and Gunners and and the understanding that they showed after your explanation that Horse Guards is a working military barracks was great❤️
You make my heart swell because of this conversation. All people need to respect! But you showed me that maybe they don’t understand. Thank you so much for the conversation
Good morning John. It was wonderful of you to enlighten this group who weren't aware of Horse Guards rules. Along with your delightful commentary, it's great to have someone take the time to talk to Visitors. 🌹
John, this was a great interaction with a group of people who, have in the past come in for criticism..and rightly so!!! They listened and understood what you were saying and came away with a real sense of the role of our service people within Horse Guards!!! Well done that man!!! 👏👏👏 xxxxxx
Your conversation with this group was very valuable. As a Jewish (not orthodox) person, I am aware that the very orthodox Jews live rather cloistered lives. I personally believe thats why their social interactions that we've seen at Horse Guards have been so strange. I was very happy that this group really tried to listen and understand what you were telling them. In Israel, Orthodox Jewish men had been exempt from serving in the military, but that's recently changed.
That was just so wonderful that you explained to them so very well and they too understood . Wish all of them were so understanding. Great job there John great job. You should do this every time.👍👍👍
I wonder now, John, why they didnt have all these ‘rules’ put up in the first place. It is such a different atmosphere not having people crowd and touch the horse or the reigns! Makes for a much more gentle watch. However, there are still ‘those’ who need to do better…..obviously! Thank you again for your time and effort. Best channel for horse guards!!!! Love from America.
Respect, John. Well done. I hope they will take this lesson home and spread the word, we’ve seen so many of them being really rude and disrespectful. 👍
Human communication, understanding, taking the time versus making assumptions…. This is key to recognizing we are all human on this tiny earth and must learn these things… your words will be like ripples on a lake and will continue to impact and help others in understanding. Thank you. If every single human being took the time to exercise kindness, what a wonderful world this could be.
As he said though, it didn’t last! These groups don’t seem to show any respect and the children aren’t disciplined or explained to. It all seems to be fun to them, not seeing real working soldiers?🤷♀️
Interesting conversation John! That group was pleasant, and really genuinely seemed to want to learn. They are from Israel. I think maybe they realize & have more respect for the military than the ones in London. 🤷 Mainly because the military is an important part of the culture in Israel. Hopefully tho, the ones who live in London will see this and learn. They were quite pleasant. I don't think they totally understand, but at least they were willing to listen.
What a wonderful, interesting, and respectful video. I traveled a lot as a child, including the Middle East. My appearance always taught me to be respectful of other people and their customs. Sadly today, as you know, respect has fallen by the wayside. I haven't been able to follow for a while, and have missed seeing my favorite horses (Ormonde, Lyric, Q10, Thor, etc.). Thank you so much for letting me visit London when I can't be there in person).
You had such a great respectful conversation with this small group and, I think, you helped inform them about this beautiful historic and important place. In your chat you helped change their perspective about the Guards and that they aren't at Disneyland.
Thank you John, it always mystifies me when people make take time effort and money to tour and take pictures but do not research a tiny bit of history to alongside their experience? Nice people, different culture.
People's disrespect for others is 99% just ego. If someone makes an excuse that they don't know the rules... they're just hiding behind their bad self. Thanks for your work.-)
If they are from Israel you would think they would know they are active duty soldiers, that they'd show respect after all Israel still has national service and as the world is seeing / witnessing a military focused nation. Thanks John, you told them in a polite and calm manner about respect, more so as they initially approached you in a passive aggressive way. I sure don't miss doing guard duty in London, miss the job and the friends but not that part up close to tourists. Regards a Canuck ex forces living in the UK.
It was interesting to hear the conversation with the family from Israel. They were so much more respectful than similarly-dressed groups who mocked the guards. It is strange as they must be used to being noticed for their unique style. In general, people are more alike than different throughout the world.
😱 John just cannot believe that those people didn't know that our Magnificent Military are true to life and not there as if it is DISNEY LAND to be made fools of. Well done for putting them right ❤ honestly what other S... will someone come up with. Thank you John you have our up most Respect. Stay Safe John. ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good morning John! Okay anxious to hear this revelation about the Horse Guards! Hope your day is awesome. Cold temps starting to hit Virginia too not as cold as London however but I’m not liking it
Quick comment re the last video. I was so intrigued by the large, boxy headgear worn by one of the Hasidic visitors I had to google it. Very special, called a shtreimel, made of fur. Your LCW almost always has something in it I need to know more about, so always learning. Thanks John. Now, back to this video.
Same here! I was interested in the shtreimel fur hat. Some are pricey. The men may use gel and a pencil to create the curls. Such a difference from the pricey hair tools marketed to the rest of us.
Grietzi JOHN GRATULATION for that Conversation with the People from Israel 👍🏽 Thats how it should be in all our Life. TALKING together, explaining things that the other Person maybe dosen’t know, helping to understand why, what, when a.s.o. I hope that this was not the last good Conversation with People from all over the Planet‼️✌🏾 Take care stefan🇨🇭
That guy winking was C-R-E-E-P-Y. I'm glad you explained the situation to them. Of course, if all people were just polite with manners, you wouldn't have to say anything.
What a difference the "off limits" white lines have made for everyone. The horses and the visitors. All much safer and calmer now. I watched in terror at times, just dreading what I would see next. Phew. What a relief. I haven't watched the full video yet, but those lines have made such a difference. On to part two where you are about to do SOMETHING.
Excellent work, John! I wondered if some groups believed that these were hired individuals only for tourists I’m glad you explained that they are actual soldiers standing a post. Your analogy of visiting Israel was spot on and I think it made it clear for anyone to understand how awful disrespecting of cultures and soldiers. Well done!
That conversation only went the way it did John because of your calm demeanour. The women approached you in a slightly hostile way asking if you were taking pictures of her daughter/children. They are very self entitled people but as I said because of your calm demeanour you educated them in their behaviour and how disrespectful that they were being. Big clap and hug from Australia John.
I listen to your conversation with them. John as always you’ve told him exactly what it should be. However, I felt a bit unsure that they were really taking it in. Surely an adult should know not to behave like that towards a soldier. That was no way for them to behave in front of the soldier, especially as they were demonstrating to children bad behaviour. Where on earth did they think they were?
Great video John. Question John will you ever do your London walks again I really loved those as I learnt so much about London. I have watched Horse Guards for a long time and the only one filming was Buska but then I saw your channel going through all these nooks and crannies which I found fascinating. Even if you took a day off from Horse Guards it would be great to see around London again. In fact I learnt something the other day that there is an underground private tunnel from Westminster to Buckingham Palace not sure it’s used anymore, however would love to view that.
I am hoping that some higher up official will see these videos on how well people who are following you speak so highly of you. I am hoping something is there for an opening of some sort for you to continue this role, in a way that you will have an audience talking to face to face as well as with us what is the important role of history and tradition. I have said this a few times and it speaks volumes to different people when we follow you on your tours. I realised that is not just with the subtitles for anyone but the language they speak at home change from english to whatever. As a newbie I don't know much about that language changing, it is a really big thing for me someone who has compassion for others and a big thing when they think outside the box knowing the it bring not just non english speaking / hearing impaired or deaf people but it is to share what knowledge you have and you have a really big heart that goes with your conscience to whatever you say about the running of this military establishment. Please correct me if I am wrong in the name as I keep forgetting if it's called something else. If it is I will try my best to have it down somewhere and try to remember. You have a beautiful gift that just shows how nuch you love your country and especially live in a country where you can visit here whenever you can. So glad I found you and everybody, I am up for learning and try to remember. This is the one that really ticks all my boxes. Subtitles weren't invented back when I watch tv / or go to movies. It's the best invention since sliced bread. Not a lot of people think outside the box , no compassion for other people in what would benefit us to follow, only in how much money is this going to bring in. You bring out the best in us John as well . Take care.
😅Enjoy your work John. Good conversation with the tourists today, and Thanks for standing up for the troops. They can lose money if they react, a trooper lost 4 hours overtime, because he laughed. The jobs hard enough without losing wages as well! Most people are ok, but some, need to be marched off to the Tower… stay warm John

We got our first snow, overnight, in Southwest Michigan. It’s almost all melted now except for rooftops.
What a lovely Respectful Family. If only they were all like them, You defiantly sorted those Brainless Morons Out. Brains of a Gnat and I’m insulting the Gnat🤨 The Guard looked grateful for your intervention . I’m still unsure Why the MOD Police didn’t intervene. Thank you once again for your Brilliant Videography John,👍🏻
@@LondonCityWalks Yes the first thing that came into my mind was (Here we go again )🤨 Thank goodness she agreed with your excellent in-depth explanation They obviously have true family values, that is sadly uncommon with some egoistical family’s these days.🤨
I'm glad I was there before the new rules of not touching the horses were in place, although I understand why they started that rule. I'm coming back next year and can't wait!
Good conversation John and much needed , but they are still letting their small child to take off the soldier stamping . Not sure of the sincerity of those people .
There were a group of these tourists in Paphos airport, a few months ago. The kids were running riot and the parents took no notice of their children behaviour. The kids need educating, so do the parents
These folks have been told that guards are active duty soldiers time and again. They’ll disappear then come back & start the scenario over again. They’re relentless. They need an attitude reset. Make the UK Great again 🇬🇧
I have worked with many Isreali's during my carreer, I found them to be respctful, intense and loyal. They are a proud people and your conversation highlighted that. Thank for taking the time to explain British traditions to them. That they listened without complaint says everything you need to know about that group. I am sure they will take this back home with them and share it with others. There are, of course, bad apples in every group. Take those loutish Spanish teenagers, who would not dare do that in their homeland. Thank you again, John for being so courteous to that group.
And yet we have seen time and time again these very groups being incredibly disrespectful and ignorant . Yes, John was incredibly diplomatic, but he shouldn’t have had to be. There are elders among that group and always with the other groups, who should be leading by example, and keep the younger ones in check. This is by no means the first time.

You really did so well.
I was a little upset that the children in this video were doing the exact thing that John was talking about 😢
Jews do this everywhere I see them, I can not understand I if they all service their time in the IDSF.
I really don’t understand why they think this is funny. It’s so disrespectful. Well done for enlightening them
Israelis.... that's why
Well done, John. You explained what Horse Guards is to the visitors from Israel and they listened and understood and were enlightened and respected your interaction. Now they know the guards are not there for their amusement.
I suspect they have only come as far as Stamford Hill.
Well done John, let's hope the message goes back into their community 🙏
that will never happen, none of them have any respect including the rabbi who encourage them
Your chat with the folks monopolizing the guards space

It's a clash of worlds, but it's nice to hear how interested they were and how you explained it to them.

John you are so kind. You took your time in educating folks. That is why you and your channel are the best.

John you are a remarkable person to be sure the tourist know the guards are working and deserve respect. Thank you
John, you always make me smile with your interaction with the tourists. I so look forward to your videos ❤
Great conversation John. They showed respect and maybe we won’t be so wary seeing these groups in the yard.
Thank you John 👍
Good morning John, you are my favorite way to end my day. Here’s hoping yours is as stimulating as mine has been. I work nights you see.
Respect, John. Well done. I hope they will take this lesson home and spread the word, we’ve seen so many of them being really rude and disrespectful. 👍

Well done sunshine! 👏👏👏
Good comment sir for those royal guard who are doing there job well and not for fun please give them some respect.to god be the glory 🙏👏
Very good John. Thanks.
Good morning John. Having my cuppa coffee and watching your videos and Brit sense of humor 😄❤❤
Well done John !! You’re the best
You had such a great respectful conversation with this small group and, I think, you helped inform them about this beautiful historic and important place. In your chat you helped change their perspective about the Guards and that they aren't at Disneyland.
Thank you John, it always mystifies me when people make take time effort and money to tour and take pictures but do not research a tiny bit of history to alongside their experience? Nice people, different culture.

Great day John 😊

Good afternoon John,hope your ok and having a great day? again this is brilliant,❤
If they are from Israel you would think they would know they are active duty soldiers, that they'd show respect after all Israel still has national service and as the world is seeing / witnessing a military focused nation.
Thanks John, you told them in a polite and calm manner about respect, more so as they initially approached you in a passive aggressive way.

It’s so nice that they are being great and understand you that’s so nice to see
Good Day John just tuned in always good video.Caroline Scotland.
It was interesting to hear the conversation with the family from Israel. They were so much more respectful than similarly-dressed groups who mocked the guards. It is strange as they must be used to being noticed for their unique style. In general, people are more alike than different throughout the world.
This group was pretty reasonable, good interaction. Good job, everyone.
Bravo sir! Great explanation!
That was a good conversation, you helped the group to understand.Well done. 😀 But a shame some people treat our soldiers as a sideshow.🤐
Gosh this particular regiment's horses are stunning. I mean all of the horses here are stunning, but this particular group is beyond....
Finally they listened to you john well done❤
😱 John just cannot believe that those people didn't know that our Magnificent Military are true to life and not there as if it is DISNEY LAND to be made fools of. Well done for putting them right ❤ honestly what other S... will someone come up with. Thank you John you have our up most Respect.
Stay Safe John. ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good job with the tourists, John. When people engage with each other with honesty and respect, there is usually a good outcome.
Good morning John! Okay anxious to hear this revelation about the Horse Guards! Hope your day is awesome. Cold temps starting to hit Virginia too not as cold as London however but I’m not liking it
Cold in NC this morning too. 🥶🥶
It always amazes me that people who walk around looking like that think they can make fun of anything!
THEM laughing at the guards. WOW! Don't they have mirrors?
You are true gentleman John thank you❤
Quick comment re the last video. I was so intrigued by the large, boxy headgear worn by one of the Hasidic visitors I had to google it. Very special, called a shtreimel, made of fur.

We hve a blizzard here in southern Wisconsin USA 45 mile a hour winds. Temp is 32 or freezing F.
It just goes to show that with all our experiences, we can always learn something new, if we keep our ears and minds open.
I listen to your conversation with them. John as always you’ve told him exactly what it should be. However, I felt a bit unsure that they were really taking it in. Surely an adult should know not to behave like that towards a soldier. That was no way for them to behave in front of the soldier, especially as they were demonstrating to children bad behaviour. Where on earth did they think they were?
Thursday, watch horses and normal people.😊
And who knows, maybe you'll spot idiots, lunatics, and other creatures.😁
"It's not a tourist attraction". Of course it is. This soldier works in the tourist industry. He knows it andd so do the rest of us.
Great video John. Question John will you ever do your London walks again I really loved those as I learnt so much about London. I have watched Horse Guards for a long time and the only one filming was Buska but then I saw your channel going through all these nooks and crannies which I found fascinating. Even if you took a day off from Horse Guards it would be great to see around London again. In fact I learnt something the other day that there is an underground private tunnel from Westminster to Buckingham Palace not sure it’s used anymore, however would love to view that.
This beauty has a blaze almost like Ormonde.
Zing! Go Jon!
What a character! 😂
The group listened to reason. I feared the worst at the start of the video. A here we go again moment.
I am hoping that some higher up official will see these videos on how well people who are following you speak so highly of you.
I am hoping something is there for an opening of some sort for you to continue this role, in a way that you will have an audience talking to face to face as well as with us what is the important role of history and tradition.
I have said this a few times and it speaks volumes to different people when we follow you on your tours. I realised that is not just with the subtitles for anyone but the language they speak at home change from english to whatever.

You have a beautiful gift that just shows how nuch you love your country and especially live in a country where you can visit here whenever you can.
So glad I found you and everybody, I am up for learning and try to remember. This is the one that really ticks all my boxes.
Subtitles weren't invented back when I watch tv / or go to movies. It's the best invention since sliced bread. Not a lot of people think outside the box , no compassion for other people in what would benefit us to follow, only in how much money is this going to bring in.
You bring out the best in us John as well .
Take care.
This particular sect of religion is extremely disrespectful. Which I find absurd.
I agree, but it was wonderful to see their reaction when John explained to her and her family.
Sadly few of them show any Respect.
Maybe because they stay in their community and don’t know much about other cultures and people.
These people are arrogant and feel they Can do what they like, these people are being respectful 🙏
Hello John great video
Well done John luv that
35 degrees Celsius here in Melbourne Australia. But up until now we've been having an unusually cold.
😅Enjoy your work John. Good conversation with the tourists today, and Thanks for standing up for the troops. They can lose money if they react, a trooper lost 4 hours overtime, because he laughed. The jobs hard enough without losing wages as well! Most people are ok, but some, need to be marched off to the Tower… stay warm John
We got our first snow, overnight, in Southwest Michigan. It’s almost all melted now except for rooftops.
Here in the Netherlands we got our first snow as well. ❄️
I love how pretty everywhere looks when snow settles, shame it makes everything so damn cold though. 🥶
@ beautiful but dang it’s freezing 😱
The group are very, very VAIN. They absolutely love themselves. They are also very rude.
What a lovely Respectful Family.
If only they were all like them,
You defiantly sorted those Brainless Morons Out.
Brains of a Gnat and I’m insulting the Gnat🤨
The Guard looked grateful for your intervention .
I’m still unsure Why the MOD Police didn’t intervene.
Thank you once again for your Brilliant Videography
John,👍🏻
Considering her opener was "Are you filming my kids?" it went rather well in the end ... 😂

Yes the first thing that came into my mind was
(Here we go again )🤨
Thank goodness she agreed with your excellent in-depth explanation
They obviously have true family values, that is sadly uncommon with some egoistical family’s these days.🤨
John, it looks very cold there. Here in Bournemouth we had sleet and rain then it turned to snow.
John, you should be an educator. Great job explaining the guard.
Sadly we now live in a low IQ world. It’s a strange dichotomy, people have had more education but know less!🤔
I'm glad I was there before the new rules of not touching the horses were in place, although I understand why they started that rule. I'm coming back next year and can't wait!
Wow, that's shocking😱😅
These people are making a bad example for their children. Now they want to act innocent for mocking the guards.
Good conversation John and much needed , but they are still letting their small child to take off the soldier stamping . Not sure of the sincerity of those people .
Sensacional!!!
There were a group of these tourists in Paphos airport, a few months ago. The kids were running riot and the parents took no notice of their children behaviour. The kids need educating, so do the parents
These folks have been told that guards are active duty soldiers time and again. They’ll disappear then come back & start the scenario over again. They’re relentless. They need an attitude reset. Make the UK Great again 🇬🇧
I have worked with many Isreali's during my carreer, I found them to be respctful, intense and loyal. They are a proud people and your conversation highlighted that. Thank for taking the time to explain British traditions to them. That they listened without complaint says everything you need to know about that group. I am sure they will take this back home with them and share it with others. There are, of course, bad apples in every group. Take those loutish Spanish teenagers, who would not dare do that in their homeland. Thank you again, John for being so courteous to that group.
And yet we have seen time and time again these very groups being incredibly disrespectful and ignorant . Yes, John was incredibly diplomatic, but he shouldn’t have had to be. There are elders among that group and always with the other groups, who should be leading by example, and keep the younger ones in check. This is by no means the first time.
I am not entirely convinced they did not know about the Guards. The people from this religious group have in the past been very rude to the Guards.
You have become quite famous among these people who truly dont understand common sence
