    What the channel owner didn't mention was what the significance of the meet up was. That was the Ceremony of the Word. The Officer of the guard and a small group of soldiers march from the jewel house to the Queen’s house. When they arrive they are met by the Chief Yeoman Warder, who hands over a small leather pouch containing the password for the next 24 hours. This password is then shared around all soldiers and residents of the Tower for their entry and exit after hours. The Word changes daily.

      How interesting. I'm a Londoner ,born and bred within walking distance of the Tower where I spent so many childhood days on Tower beach (over 70 years ago) and I had no idea of this ceremony. Thank you for broadening my knowledge of my beloved home city.

      I don’t know about this regiment, but the Queens Company (now Kings Company) of the Grenadier Guards lowered the minimum height from 6’2” to 5’10” a while ago. I think there is still a preference for Guards be tall, but height restrictions are generally more fluid these days, depending on supply and demand.

    No. No one was stunned. I froze the video and inspected everyone’s face. Not a trace of stunning to be seen. It’s all quite normal. Four hapless squaddies are frog-marched out, and an officer comes out to look for specks of dust and intimidate said squaddies, then goes back into office for a coffee. After that, the squaddies are made to stand still for a few hours by the gate or other strategic place and be stared at and photographed by Japanese tourists. So really, no stunning at all. All quite normal and it’s all done for fun. There is absolutely no point to it whatsoever and certainly, if someone was stunned by it all, they should seek medical advice. As a click bait, stunning is a very weak word to use, try saying “see streaker at 7.03”. That will guarantee you more clicks.
