If you don't like them then why watch them? There are quite a few of us who do enjoy them. Go and watch something else instead of criticising. There are plenty of other videos to watch.
@mattimatkalainen If this is so boring and insults your obviously delicate sensibilities, why watch it long enough to feel the need to post a comment🤦♀️? You should stick to the other channels out there and we'll continue to enjoy this one... Have a nice day dear...🫡
Happy New Year to everyone , those who have already reached 2025 and those of us still waiting . Let's all stay positive and trust in the Troopers doing their jobs , a foot over a line won't end the world 😁 . Wherever you are John for your well deserved holiday enjoy yourself and thanks for leaving us with something to watch . 😀
Happy New Year, Kath! This is a lovely sentiment indeed! Thanks for all of the invaluable information you’ve provided and for the many giggles shared in 2024! ✨♥️🎉✨
@Kathellison8084 Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🥂🍾 to you! I'm still waiting for the ball to drop here on the East Coast of the US. I certainly wish you and everyone watching our favorite channel, a safe, healthy and prosperous 2025. Here's hoping that John is enjoying his quick get away because I have a feeling that 2025 is going to start out with a bang 😂 at Horse Guards. Here's a big smile, a wave and a hug from across the pond 😊... Kris from Long Island via a sunny but chilly South Carolina ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🐴🇺🇲🇺🇲❤
Hi Kath, Happy New Year and all the best in 2025. Let me take the time to say I have really enjoyed the conversations we have had (some naughty, i.e. planet names for horseys😁) this past year. I'm taking an online course next month and need to focus on that, so I may not be here as much. But I will still stay subscribed. Again, all the best to you and yours, and Tilley 🐱, next year, my friend! And to the LCW community - Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Both Gunners were on it not letting anyone get away with crossing the lines. That old man approaching both horses like that is lucky the Gunners held back on what could have happened. It made my day though truly do love these Gunners. Keep up the awesome work.
whoever doesn't like long videos,simply don't even click on it. Read the description and more this was done on the 6.12.24. some enjoy these. don't spoil it for others.
Fabulous coverage of horse & guard. With fun, imaginative and informative commentary. Thanks so much, John. Hope you are enjoying your New Year break . God Bless. 🎉❤😊🇬🇧🏴🏴🇬🇧
Happy New Year for 2025 to John and everyone here. John, enjoy your holiday, you deserve too, and thank you for leaving this video for us to enjoy 😊. Wherever you all are in the world, enjoy your celebrations into the new year 🥂🍷🍻🎉🎊
Happy New year John and all people on channel❤ thank you John for all the great tours of your beautiful city, respecting your fellow tourist, officers, and your magnificent miltary and all the memories of precious " Ormonde"😂
Happy New Year All and John may you have safe Travels and enjoy your time away. TY for so ?any Happy and sorry for some bad memories at Horse Guards in 2024.❤
Good morning John from USA and Thank you for the video Hope you’re having a good time in your days off Love the video as always and Happy New Year to you
Happy New Year John! I am soooo looking forward to 2025 with you! Here’s sincerely wishing you a healthy, prosperous 2025! How exciting for you with new style of video able to catch tourons crazy erratic behaviors, heartfelt moments at Horse Guards, Gatesman, Chitzman which, in actuality, make every day for you and viewers an “ adventure” of possibilities! ❤️❤️😊😊
Thank you for always making me smile and laugh when I watch your videos!! You’re both funny and interesting! I usually watch your videos silently, but today I wanted to tell you how much you inspire me to give my best in everything I do, just like you do! I’m also learning English from you! Thank you john, and Happy New Year! I hope you have a successful and happy life ahead! I hope I can visit London someday to see you! 🤍
A Blessed and Happy New Year, John. And especially to all the Troopers, Gunners, and every one who watches John's videos. I love the commentary. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
I found this regarding cash / tips etc "On-duty sentries at Horse Guards Parade in London are not permitted to accept tips, donations, or gratuities. This is considered a breach of British Army military law and regulations. Accepting such gifts could compromise the integrity and impartiality of military personnel. According to the Armed Forces Act 2006 and the Queen's Regulations for the Army, military personnel are generally prohibited from accepting gifts that could influence their official duties"
Wow…quite a difference from yesterday! I wasn’t even there and felt claustrophobic! Don’t know how you made it through 😛 (unless this vid is a repeat…which it is.) Hey John…hope you’re enjoying yourself no matter where you are! Best to you and Happy New Year! 🎊🎆 🎉😊
Hi John Happy New Year dear. Did you get your cheese and bread? Great video that horse stood so calm and was looking at you a lot..maybe he enjoys your company. ❤️❤️🥰😍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Happy New Year to you & your family John, to all the illustrious viewers of this wonderful channel. To all the Troopers, Gunners & Officers of the Kings Guard & their families. May 2025 bring you all health, happiness, & love. ❤🎉🍾🥂
This gunner from the Kings Troop understands that if he is consistent, then it ends up being fair for everyone. Anyway, Happy new year to everyone watching this video from John.
I have never noticed a donation box in your videos. In the US fireman once a year or so use their boots to ask for donations for a great cause. Perhaps a shined boot might make a great donation for the guards as well. I know I’d be happy to donate when I visit. Happy New Years to all. 🎉
I might be somewhat dull! I have never figured out how to convert the Celsius to Fahrenheit. I saw a very simplistic way. It is usually off by a degree or 2 but it is ballpark so I can know about how you are feeling John when you are out and about. One takes the Celsius like 6 you said, double it to 12 C and add 30 and you get a round about figure of 42 F. Not an exact science but close enough for me. 😊
I have a thought about the lines , maybe if there were decoratiive post put on the lines near the wall would help people to realize the purpose of the lines .
I have had the same thoooought... however I realized that any kind of post close to the horses could be a danger to the horses when/if they have a meltdown.
Here's to all the friends watching the same horses and, the horse asses every day at the courtyard! ❤ HAPPY NEW YEAR ❤I HOPE 2025, is everything you want it to be. Keep Safe!
I’m happy to see this video from December 6th since I missed a few weeks of videos! These horses are pretty and dainty compared to the HCAV “blacks “.😊
Happy new year John I’m thinking the horse guard that received the money forgot his wallet at home and needed lunch money if you noticed he was quite happier after that and spent the rest of his shift thinking where he was going to eat 😊
horses used by the King's Life Guard are black, three-quarter bred Irish draught horses. The horses used by the trumpeters are gray, and the drumhorses are large draught horses that are often Shires or Clydesdales
John, I think after that shout from the guard I think about 100 people heard him so they’re all keeping away cause I don’t wanna get shouted at what do you think?
Has no one ever learned to walk on one side of the sidewalk going in one direction and make room for others going the opposite direction on the other side of the same sidewalk?
All HCav horses are 16.3 hands upwards some well over 17hh . Their breeding is Irish draught/thoroughbred so some are stockier showing the draught side more than the thoroughbred side . Blues do seem to favour the former 😊
@@quidam53 this is The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, if these are the horses you are talking about, they are smaller and more agile as they have to pull gun carriages but I think they are a tad bigger than 15 hands
Sorry @quidam you had me confused talking about Blues horses not Kings Troop horses 😊. As Mary has said they are smaller and vary in height from 15.3 hh to 16.3 by depending on which role they play in the gun carriages . Happy New Year 😊
@@starvingartist2824 I knew it couldn't be June but I always forget the date thing! Darn. Thank you. So, for me today is 12:31:2024. In the UK it's 31:12:2024. Hee hee.
@pglen6042 You're welcome! And right now it is already 01/01/25 in the UK 🇬🇧 I watched their NYE celebration at the London Eye on TV. Still 3 more hours yet for me in Canada 🇨🇦 Happy New Year pglen!🎉🎉
LOL totally confused re actual time of this video. Info given says 6:12:2024 but this doesn't look like June. I;m missin something, but just enjoying it. I remember the cash in the boot episode.

How lovely John to have the quiet without all those crowds

Any monetary gifts are passed on to The Household Cavalry Foundation that supports serving personnel , veterans both two and four legged .
I’ll miss your narrative while you are gone John, I love listening to it❤️💂
Happy New Year to everyone 🎉🎉🎉
End of video, just before Christmas, makes sense now, lol.
Wow…quite a difference from yesterday! I wasn’t even there and felt claustrophobic! Don’t know how you made it through 😛 (unless this vid is a repeat…which it is.) Hey John…hope you’re enjoying yourself no matter where you are! Best to you and Happy New Year! 🎊🎆 🎉😊
Happy New Year John and a Happy New Year to the guards and police officers. God bless you all. 🎉❤🎉
It’s been a great year of videos, thanks John, have a nice vacation
Hi John Happy New Year dear. Did you get your cheese and bread? Great video that horse stood so calm and was looking at you a lot..maybe he enjoys your company. ❤️❤️🥰😍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Happy New Year from 🇵🇭
John I love you and your videos both are 🏆🥇
Happy new year John 🎉and family🎉
Happy New Year 🤓😘
Yes They Should Be Given a Bonus For Doing This Part of their Duty , But £1000, They Would Tax Them , Happy New Year John 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
good morning John the weather looks beautiful there today
If you check the video description at the top you'll see this was filmed on 6th December , John is away on holiday for the New Year 😊 Happy New Year 😊
@ I know he’s on holiday. Thanks for any information anyway and I did see the date. In the description box.
Happy New Year everyone John hope you have a nice few days off and happy New Year to you and your family
I have never noticed a donation box in your videos. In the US fireman once a year or so use their boots to ask for donations for a great cause. Perhaps a shined boot might make a great donation for the guards as well. I know I’d be happy to donate when I visit. Happy New Years to all. 🎉
People can donate at the Household Cavalry Museum on the Parade ground , any donations to go The Household Cavalry Foundation .
HappyNew Year everyone from me in chilly S.E England.
Wishing you the Happiest, Healthiest, most Successful New Year! ❤️
Happy New Year all on here. 🥳

Happy new year !

Happy New Year everyone! May the new year be filled with love and laughter!
Have a great holiday john
Sorry to hear you say that you are leaving (Stopping?). Wishing you all the best.
John, it's probable that guests are not aware of the tip in the boot practice.
Have a safe & sane, quiet & uneventful New Years everyone. ❤
I’m going to miss you and your vids
Happy new year John I’m thinking the horse guard that received the money forgot his wallet at home and needed lunch money if you noticed he was quite happier after that and spent the rest of his shift thinking where he was going to eat 😊

I was reading about them horses and that was a little info I was thinking was kinda cool so I copied and pasted lol
Thehorses are socalm when the crowds are small,
Oiii
John como sempre um vídeo impecável ótimo
Feliz ano novo p todos
Q este ano q se inicia seja regado com muita paz saúde prosperidade p todos nós
John, I think after that shout from the guard I think about 100 people heard him so they’re all keeping away cause I don’t wanna get shouted at what do you think?
Has no one ever learned to walk on one side of the sidewalk going in one direction and make room for others going the opposite direction on the other side of the same sidewalk?
I’m sorry but why did the guard allow the guy 2 put money in his boot when he yelled at everyone else 4 crossing the white line🤨
Happy New Year everyone 🐴
The lines seem to be invisible, just like the signs
John, I would love to see a photo of you. It’s helpful when communicating to see with whom I am communicating . Also, is your name really John? 😊
Why do the Blue’s horses appear so short? They appear no taller than 15 hands.
All HCav horses are 16.3 hands upwards some well over 17hh . Their breeding is Irish draught/thoroughbred so some are stockier showing the draught side more than the thoroughbred side . Blues do seem to favour the former 😊
