As a ex infantry soldier who done all them ceremony duties, the guard would of appreciated that. Just show them some respect, 2 hours in position and they are really soldiers who have deployed to all parts of the world, ie Afghanistan and Iraq in service to the country. Thank you for your your respect.
The eight soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards were flown from operational service in Iraq to take part in the queens funeral.
@@janolaful that’s so awesome.
As a Military Veteran, I still get a “Thank you” for your service, and it is appreciated.
@@donallen1384 And we love giving our ‘thanks’. You certainly deserve them. It seems so little for what you have done.
@@donallen1384 And never forget!
I'm a ex French military member as my family. When i went in London in 2017, i visited tower of London. I salute in civil ouftits a royal air force staff sergeant Guard when this british comrade saw me and my military bag and smiles with kindless to me, people understand m'y salute i'm so proud to salute and respect theses british military comrades ! Greetings and salutes from France 🇬🇧🇫🇷
I think these guards deserve our deepest respects.Most of the people disturbing them whilst on duty are idiots.I LOVE watching most days when free and I am from Singapore😊
What a true Gentleman and lady. I have no doubt that was appreciated by the guard. What a beautiful gesture of respect.
Does anyone have a time stamp for the moment? I didn't see it
@@Justicia007I’m not sure how to do time stamps but at 13:08 they take the photo and like 10 seconds after they do they do the “thank you” gesture towards the guard.
Thank you sir for being very respectful . Makes a lovely change .

I hope this couple have nothing but goodness in their life. God bless their gentle hearts.
Wow, never seen that done before that was respect and all these guards deserve it let's hope they all get more respect like that,not saying exactly like that but more respect than what they get now. That couple showed more respect than all the others I have seen and I have seen a lot. Wonder where they were from.

Dear tourist's, these are active working members of our British army. These are not actors or a fancy dress parade. They are real soldiers
Most tourist just see the traditional uniform but not what you have to do to get it. I watched a movie about recrutes in the 90's for the Royal Guards. I was realy impressed. Only 30minutes wearing this outfit and standing on guard would be impossible for anyone disrespecting or joking on them.
If they would wear a modern battle dress, people would think a bit different.
@@passionformilhistory30 минут тупого простоя сложно для вас?🤣🤣🤣 Посмотрел бы я на таких героев как они в нашей армии, после того как спалились пьяными, пробегали 3-4 часа вокруг плаца, в озк, противогазе, с 2-3 брониками(зависит от массы героя) и калашом, после таких вытрезвителей эти бы научились маршировать за 20 минут, но лёжа 🤣🤣🤣
You think soldiers anywhere, not capable of the same thing? Lol. They all go through gruelling training dude. The point being made is not about their level of fitness but about how hard it is, just to stay still for prolonged periods - especially with the high energy a soldier - any soldier, would have coursing through their body. Not everything is a pissing contest!@@eviltank7420
@@eviltank7420 Wtf
A fine display of discipline and precision displayed by members of the Welsh Guards. Never forget that these men are not just on display for tourists. But professional soldiers, many with battlefield experience. They take their guard duties very seriously.

@iociccio936 diddums, not getting any attention so you have to troll? Poor iociccio936, using other people to make you feel better about yourself.
This is all they need, instead of acting ignorant, show them respect. I always love it when people actually show them respect and appreciated.
Deep respect to our British cousins from across the pond.
OFF TO THE SIDE A MOTHER WAS TEACHING HER YOUNGSTER ABOUT GIVING RESPECT TO THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN
Low bow and held.
Head bowing - it’s traditional, it’s very respectful and very elegant. It’s a beautiful tradition that conveys so much more meaning than what a handshake could convey.
It is said that the deeper the bow, the deeper is the respect or gratitude shown by a person.
Fifteen-degree bows are used for informal and formal occasions while a thirty-degree angle bow is reserved for very formal times
Coming from my side of the pond I don't really see it that way. Would you mind enlightening me? Respect means a lot to me and a bow could show that but it also says that you're subservient. On the other hand a handshake you look another person in the eyes on equal footing extending the hand that would normally hold a weapon and grasp onto the other person. A lot can be said about the way the other person holds their grip and gives an individual influence over another despite societal roles.
@@williamwhite8416There is nothing subservient about a bow. It is a symbol of the respect and regard the person being bowed to is held by the person bowing. In many cases, particularly in Asian protocols, the bow is returned, so definitely not a sign of subservience. As has been stated, the degree of bow has specific meaning as does the duration. Protocols can be rather esoteric, but in this instance it was a very dignified and polite way to honour and thank the Guardsman.
Brilliantly done
Sounded a bit like Dads Army though with one Guard (the butcher) out of time when they stood to attention. Still great to watch though..
THAT WAS❤ WONDERFUL TO SEE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT RESPECT 😂

“Ya like the sound their boots make, Mummy? I do!” Sweet boy! I was just thinking about how I love the sound of them marching and the horse’s hooves too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇺🇸
Respect is also contagious. It would be nice to spread it out.
He's a big guard! He'll get respect for sure!
Oh! The little boys faces of utter magic in their hearts at seeing these soldiers.
"I like the sound their boots make, don't you mummy?" Most British thing ever, and adorable
Very well captured. One of the best.
God save the king god save the forces and anyone who has served for our country you have my upmost respect and grattitude!!!🙏🏴🙏🏴🙏🏴
Thank you for your service
I love that little voice saying he likes the sound their boots make❤️
Lovely to see
Beautiful moment. God bless them and the guards. I think out of all the videos I have watched regarding these guards and beautiful buildings hardly any respect is shown. Such a shame. But when it happens it so warms the heart, especially for the guards and horses too. Would be nice if a rule was brought in that if you don’t show respect and gratitude for this privilege you won’t be allowed in. No photos. Nothing.
Be kind and god bless.
i can tell you this guy inside is heart smiled
This gentleman has a good heart and has shown himself to both respectful and respected. ❤
Wow how respectful was that man & lady at the end bowing to the guard. Tourist take note thats how you behave towards our serving guards 💂♂️
I can't imagine England without the royal family.
Don't mess with the Kings guard !!
It is actually an insult against the king himself !!
God save The king 👑.
Aww that was so nice 😊
It is a wonder they all don’t have shin splints with all that stomping!! I truly admire their dedication and training. I am obsessed with these channels!!
Que belleza de arquitectura 🤩
Nice to see
Bravo to the Brits and these fine young men (women) who serve the King.
Bravo to all who understand what these men/women do for all of the UK

Old school respect
I have the outmost repsect for these boys. They have extreme dicipline. Same for the guard in my own country Norway. They are extremely professional.
Respect
Respekt vor diesen Männern ist angebracht
Es hermoso ver la disciplina de los militares en cualquier país.
Respecto a la guardia real me gustaría hacer un comentario con mucho respeto:
Ojalá fuera posible que marcaran con líneas perfectamente visibles la ruta por donde van a los guardias.
Mucha gente no tiene la menor intención de interferir en los cambios de guardia o en sus rutinas de los soldados, pero si no saben por dónde van a pasar entonces no es culpa de la gente "estorbar" ni de los soldados.
Ciertamente algunas personas sí son irrespetuosas con los guardias, pero la gran mayoría de la gente sólo quiere observar y llevarse un grato recuerdo a través de una foto.
Gracias, es mi humilde opinión.
They need a fence like that in front of where the horses are to keep the people back and away from the horses and guards
The horses and Guardsmen must be able to be mobile at a moment's notice. No time to open a gate.
Parabéns pelo soldado do palácio real que Deus abençoe a todos vocês aí e proteja vocês eu moro no Brasil meu nome Marinete 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
He was not the first ❤😊
Nice x
People, guards are not on display for you all to take pictures of them with yourselves in them for stupid selfies. They are working. Horrible people pestering guards instead of minding your own businesses and leaving them all alone.
13:33
Jake's a cool guy
No se si alguien lo ha notado o lo ha dicho, pero estos guardias deben estar entrar las personas mas fotografiadas del mundo. Mis respeto por mantener una tradición tan importante.
That rind of tradition hiddens the tears of the autochthonous england people.
When there were a lot more branches of the guards before a lot of mergers you could always tell what guards they were by the formation of the buttons.
You still can, the only merges you talk about are when battalions are merged, there are still 5 regiments of foot guards, Grenadier Coldstream Scots Welsh and Irish and the buttons and plumes are all different between them.
Yeah, the regiments are still the same. There's too much history, tradition and battle honours for the powers-that-be to start messing with the Guard's regimental organisation. I remember the uproar when it was suggested that the Parachute Regiment and The Royal Marines should be amalgamated into one individual "commando" regiment and they haven't got the centuries of history that the Guards have. Regular regiments of the line get merged all the time but in this case I think the government know enough to leave well alone.
Excellent.
❤️❤️
I can’t help but notice all of the mindless tourists shooting photos with their phones held in portrait mode, getting just ⅓ of an image they could be getting had they held their phones in horizontal position like was done by the individual who shot this video.
Some years ago, while visiting Britain, the friends I stayed with took me to a pub where we met up with one of their friends. He was a member of the Grenadier Guarda whose current assignment was a s a ceremonial guard at The Tower of London. Because the guards are in such close proximity to tourists, I asked him who were the best and worst tourists. He replied, "Canadians and Japanese are the best. They're quiet, polite and respectful." He added, 'the worst are Americans. For the most part, they are rude, arrogant, loud, demanding and very disrespectful." Just to confirm, a few days later, I was at the Science Museum and asked a security guard the same question. He echoed what the other person told me. He said, "oh that's an easy question sir. American visitors are almost always awful. They're very rude and loud. As for the best, "Canadians and Scandanavian visitors are nice people."
Canadian here, ex 35 year Air Force. Thank you for saying that we're polite. Most of us think that way. We're probably the only citizens in the world who, if YOU bump into us, we'll say, "I'm sorry."
What a true Gentlemen. I can see they are people from a different country trying to show others to be respectful to these guards. They aren't there for show, They are here to serve for King and Country. (hint) 00:00 Is that yellow stuff sick?
They do have patience of a saint, because I want to go stand where the horses standing, but I don't want horse there
of course well done them.... what the officers are saying to the guards,whilst inspecting them,is are you ready for another day of dumb tourist activity......☺🇬🇧🥃
They will be passing on a password/code, which is then given to the Guards who have just come on duty. This changes everyday (I think)
Salute 💂
7.58 the officetr would not be happy having to lift the barrier himself

👍👍 ❤️
They must have really long heads 😮 I wonder if they have a special machine to make it into that shape 🤔
Imagine if history had been different, we might very well still be seeing this in Dublin Castle or sites currently owned by the Irish Free State government in my native Republic of Ireland - looking at the current state of our country now, perhaps we would have been better off remaining under British rule, as living 21 years in the U.K., I despair at the incompetence and mismanagement of our country’s leaders back home since 1922 right up to the present day
Yes, if only our various governments hadn't treated the Irish SO bloody badly in the past - especially in light of the massive contribution made by those brave Irish lads to the British Army - things may well have been different. Talk about 'short-sightedness'!
There are many ceremonial units within the British military who perform duties for the Monarch. If war were to break out. These units will leave these duties an and join their fellow service members in what ever the cause is. The US military is very similiar to the B ritish.
It saddens me to see people look upon these professional soldiers as they would a disney attraction.
The welsh guards 💂🏴
3:24 Revue ! That moment when your superior see something wrong in your uniform when doing his revue de troupe😂, a bloody nightmare is waiting for you

Who are the others that he inspired to do the same!!??
Бедные медведи сколько убито ради их шапок
Can someone explain who are the guards with the red clothing
@martyzink6273 thanks
There are diff regiments of guards one way to tell is the Busby plume colour or none ie:-
Grenadier white L Side
Coldstream Red R Side
Scots None
Irish Blue R Side
Welsh White & Green L Side
These particular Guards are Welsh Guards, the youngest of the five regiments of foot guards. You can tell the regiments apart by various details on their uniforms. For example the spacing of the buttons on their tunics.
Single spacing, Grenadiers
In twos,Coldstream
In threes, Scots
In fours, Irish
In fives, Welsh
They also have different insignia on their collars as well as plumes in their bearskins ( or not, as in the Scots Guards) . As I understand it the placing of the plume shows where the regiment would have been historically in line of battle . The Scots have no plume as they would have been in the middle. 🏴🇬🇧
@@cathyb46 Its actually a Bearskin, Guardsman will take offence to having their Bearskin referred to as a busby . Busbys are worn by some cavalry regiments and some artillery.
@@margaretoconnor3687 spot on, as you said plume placing denotes order of the regiment in battle as it would have been. The Grenadiers being the senior regiment are Right of the line and so on.
More than what Markles ever did.
Interesting. He employs a Japanese-style bow, and I notice he has the word 'Anime' written on his t-shirt, so could he potentially be drawing from that as inspiration?
It isn't typically how we show respect in the UK, though we do bow we only bow our head (or curtsey) to the monarch and clergymen may bow in church. We do nod our heads to others as a sign of respect or greeting, but we do not typically perform what the Japanese call sai-keirei', a 45 degree bow typically used for those in higher positions than ourselves.
If I were to make a bold assumption; I might assume that this kind chap may be on the spectrum, and he repeated what he saw on anime as he judged it to be a 'sign of respect' and defaulted to that gesture. I only assume this because of the way the members of his party told him to stand, encouraged him to smile, and the sigh of relief once he had finished taking a photograph which I imagine, being in a public place, was rather uncomfortable for him.
I tend to hyper-analyse things, so I thank you if you bothered to read any of this. What a kind, nice and brave chap for doing what he thought was right. If he is a foreign tourist, I encourage him to come back and visit anytime!
A bit after the 9 minute mark u hear a lady bitching about getting yelled at by the guards. 🤦♀️Maybe show some respect then Karen!
Where exactly in the video is this special moment? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Right there with you. I was watching to see where the title illustrates this moment...
13:12 The man and woman give a respectful bow to the guard. I didn't see other people were inspired however as the others continued to take pictures and didn't do anything else.
@@roadkillz78 Hey, thank you for that. Very long generic video, so even after watching it twice I missed it. I must have blinked both times at that moment. Sorry, a lot of these types of videos have click bait like titles that don't really relate to most or sometimes any of the content.
12:12 Look, a sausage in the skin. The dress is about to burst.
These seem to be Coldstream Guards ( white hackle) my grt grt grandfather's was a Corporal in the Coldstream Guards at this same location in 1850. He died at the agevof 28, with his wife, both contracting TB. He was a pallbearers at the Duke of Wellingtons funeral, in very bad weather. I have a n original News Of the World newspaper, just on the funeral. It has a pen and ink drawing ( pre photography) of him and other NCOs having lunch with Queen Victoria, after the parade. He is identified by listed Regiment, in which a corporal from each Guards Regiment participated.
Standards really have dropped since the 2010's and the early 2000's, the one bloke on the rear rank far right, still got stubble, looks down at his feet 50% of the time when marching. Sad to see the standards deteriorating in the guards. Not to mention the failed high-port at the end.
There's always someone thinks they are "better".. How sad, not exactly "charming" either?
Start at 15 minutes to save time.
Can anybody tell me why they only have four of them out there?
How stupid can brainwashing get
A blooming shame that some fu....err, folks have no respect for those who risk life and limb for them!! Even more disgusting that the guards have to be guarded by the police... 😢
That was a shocking display of drill from those Welch Guards.
Ok
There are still good People in this world. Thank goodness
I just have a question bro why do all or most of the European countries its soldiers and officers wear those furry hats like Russia, Germany, Poland whats the meaning or tradition of the furry hats
I often wonder if these people look in the mirror and see what they look like before leaving home.
Are all the King Guard male?🇨🇦
They do look wonderful.❤
Tourist just don't understand these things all the guards do us years of traditions and it's a job..so sad the rudeness and the people do to all the guards and horses..poor horse have to put up with dirty germy hands on the mouth and nose and guards do nothing but God forbid if they touch the reigns..Thank God some horses snap back but the people laugh no respect. I live in the USA but respect the guards there.
it's like a production line.
Why people dont realize that when guards make sound whit their feet means that they are uncomfortable or you are doing something wrong
Others doing the same...???? The lady who looked to be from the Asian? part of the World where the bow from the waist is the sign had it seems a companion who had learned this way too, not looking as though he was from that culture. His bow was followed by that of the lady with him, but others? what others??
