They are super patient. People need to show them full respect.
I think some Tourists think the Palace Guards aren't real soldiers.
They are. Extremely dedicated ones and they are not to be messed with.
You wouldn't go up to a Secret Service officer while he was protecting the POTUS, so why would you approach a King's Guard?
Good video Amanda.
They also think those guns don't have real bullets in them... or that those swords are just decrotive
They are the Kings Guard!
Hi Amanda, the trooper from the Household Cavalry @4:50 was not deviating from his path, he was headed to his post, which is the exact opposite side of the courtyard from where the other three are headed.
I don't know, but there were OBVIOUS white lines for the public to stand behind, and it looked OBVIOUS to me they were encroching on the soldiers doing their duty!
The general theme of the video was very BIASED, "UK soldiers always loose their patience and react!"
My grandad used to be a coldstream guard at buckingham palace !!! he told me some fantastic stories bless him !
I agree with you Amanda, it is rude to deliberately annoy people going about their business. I also think that some people do not realise that they are serving soldiers. Regiments take turns to guard the important buildings and people.
The difference is that the Emergency services are obligated to try to avoid contact with you. The Guards Regiments are within their rights to walk over you if you don't move. If you complain about it, the best response you will get will be "Well, you should have moved, shouldn't you"
Can't wait to see the Royal Guards force Just Stop Oil protestors out of the way lol!
If the oil protesters try and get in front of a Household Division parade I hope it@@andrewward2010is televised, because the parade won't stop to le the police clear the road, they will march over anyone and everyone in their way, and if the protesters complain they will be told, "well you were warned to move, you didn't move, so it is all your own fault!"
@@andrewward2010
Oh no. I both want to see and don't want to see just stop oil do something stupid with the kings guard. It will be bad.
Hey Amanda
My friend is an officer in the Grenadier guards. He has done a number of duties serving as part of the royal guards. He said the last 10 years and the raise of social media has created a lot of issues. Hence the installation of chain fences around many guard positions.
Looking forward to them walking through Just Stop Oil Protestors lol!
There are also many instances of heart-warming videos where guards go out of their way to make people's days. Many tourists forget that the Guards are working soldiers doing their ceremonial job.
I was a queens guard for many years these incidents were far and few between , great video
Perhaps they are getting more numerous due to,
1. Society changing
2. Social Media reactions.
Yes mate since social media its on the rise
All military deserve full respect. I’ve seen them being harassed and they deserve more as their not actors.
Love how you have embraced the British culture Amanda, keep on grunting
I was walking past Horseguards one lunchtime a few years ago and a couple were attempting to take some photos, the woman was standing alongside the horse and stroking its neck, the horse lost patience and stamped a foot on hers. The Blues and Royals guardsman had a wry smile on his face and I think the horse was smiling as well as she hobbled off back to her man.
I think the Royal Guard are way too calm and patient with these people chancing their luck with them. It just goes to show the level of training that the Royal Guard has received just like any member of our Armed Forces. I am proud to support our Armed Forces any way that I can as a member of public through my branch of The Royal British Legion.
I too am proud to support the services -I would love to be nearby when the idiots are so disrespectful to the soldiers😡😡I would not be as patient as them😂😂
I have to disagree with you, in modern warfare (not the game) we British are known as the most de-escalators
That vid is Kings Guard, there is no situation that warrents de-escalation there!
i am british but still done the tourist thing BUT before i took a photo of a standing guard i asked his permission the nod was almost none existent but was given, after wards i thanked him
Brings back a memory of Windsor Castle when I was young , and mum eventually had to stand with me a respectful distance away , when the photo came back ( it could be a while in those days ) just a hint of a smile . These are real serving soldiers and guard duties at Royal palaces are just one of their assignments . Its got to be just as difficult , but in a completely different way .I'm sure most people respect them and what they represent .
You said it perfectly. You didn't really need to be told not to touch them. No normal person would. It's the people that DO need that said to them that you have to worry about.
you do not f*** with the Kings Guard. There are a few nice ones like a little boy dressed in a similar uniform saluting them as they went past. one of the soldiers came back and showed him into their ready room
The guard throwing a punch was fake
Yep 100%
Fake yes but it gave out a strong message.
Guardsmen are regular service members whose next deployment could be an active war zone. It’s a misconception that all they do is guard royal palaces. I bet that no one would do anything like this if they were in full combat uniform.
Some people have no respect
Unfortunately what people forget (or don’t get) is that these are serving soldiers
I am extremely disappointed with some people who have lack of respect to Royal Guard and they should learn that Royal Guard is the eilte solders who has experienced combat around the world. Thanks to try to teach lots of your country people about their duty to Royal family and I appreciate your efforts to raise awareness of our British culture 😊❤
If you haven't yet you should check out the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington Cemetery both the changing of the guard and the guards reactions to visitors that get out of place
Those who do it have no respect for anyone.
What tourists don't understand is that these Queens Guards are active soldiers doing their job protecting the Royal Palaces / Houses and The Royal Family itself. They're not obliged to move when marching to their post or have people close them taking pictures. Would tourists do this to Chinese, Russian, or American soldiers? I don't think they would. People need to respect our British soldiers just doing their job.
I think they do these things because of social media. Makes for a good post in their tiny little minds.
I'm not saying it didn't happen pre social media, but it was probably far less common.
Tourists don't seem to realise that these are not "Chocolate Box" soldiers like in some 3rd world dictatorships! They are real soldiers who serve their country in war as well as in ceremonial duties! If they saw these men in the field they would totally crap themselves! I detest the lack of respect tourists display in these circumstances! If I had the chance I would beat the crap out of them! Of course the King's Guard are well trained in restraint! 🤣🤣🤣
these guys and girls are trained to stay cool in combat - this is just a part of what the do.
They have the right to shout at them.
On Instagram I watch videos of the ones with the horses. Most of the time the horses & the guard are ok but when someone touches the reins it’s a totally different story & good for them.
If people keep treating them like a tourist attraction they’ll get what’s coming though. They are real soldiers on active service.
I pood my new socks once. At bed time I couldn't get them off the normal way so I had to bring my leg up and pood them aff.
Some people seem to think that they aren’t real but they really are real soldiers who are doin cermonial duties guarding royal palaces n then be back out as regular soldiers overseas in years time if only people knew n yes the do deserve respect n have the right to shout
Bless them! Stay out of the way people 👍
His "JOB" is to guard, and whilst he is "GUARDING" he is protecting. Challenge that protective instinct, you can expect to be warned vociferously, persist, then expect to be harmed. Look, admire, thank them for their service then MOVE ON.
You’re becoming more English by the day. “ job’s a good un”! 😂😂
Bah! Beat me to it! LOL!
People seem to forget these are some of the most professional armed forces in the World. They have a job to do!
Our Royal Guard are recruited from our armed forces, and they're there to protect the Royal Family etc. Some may think they look silly in their tall bearskin hats and such, but these boys are trained and experienced soldiers. They're there with a duty of protection, not as a tourist attraction or gimmick. They deserve respect, and they will command it if need be. They will march through you or over you, as duty comes first, and looking out for someone in their way, or for someone just generally being a disrespectful tw*t, is not part of their duty. lol
All that said, there are videos out there of some Guards breaking their composure: laughing, falling over, interacting with kids, etc. Some are fake, but some are real. As stated in the video you watched: "they're human too".
TBH i admire the restraint of the guards a shout to back down 1st is the 1st step, 2nd is pointing your weapon oh and rest assured as well as being loaded that bayonet is not for show 3rd step is you finding out how good the NHS is and watching the video on social media of you getting a rifle butt in the face
These fellows are professional soldiers. They've spent two to three years training for this position so don't mess with them. Oh and that rifle and bayonet they carry aren't ornaments.
Maybe if people realised that the Guards Regiments will serve in active war zones just like any other soldier they might have a smidge more common sense. They are not just ceremonial troops but highly trained infantry
Don't mess with The King's Guards.
They are best of the best, chosen by their commanders - end they also have live bullets in their guns,,,,
Here in England ... if you drop a glove it will bring very bad luck to the person who picks up for you. Best thing is to tap them on their shoulder and explain that they have dropped a glove. Do NOT ever pick it up for them.
'Here in England' not everyone believes in stupid superstitions most of us have fully functioning minds.
I would have marched forward, done a few about turns over the glove and gone back to the box to laugh at them (with a strait face of course).
Some tourists are so disrespectful I am amazed how these guys put up with them for so long. Don't forget these men are soldiers, they are tough too.
People forget that ENGLAND is not the USA, their laws are different, these guards are military members performing their duties, they are entrusted with protecting the King's property, people think these guards are there for entertainment, which is far from the truth, the English people know and respect these military members, visitors seem to think that it is Ok to disrespect the guards and mess with them. People need to grow up and respect other government's policies, military members and not bring their bad habits to put on display for others to see, these men and women need to be thanked for their service.
disrespect the guards
then you will
respect the NHS
I don’t believe they are actually ‘angry’ they undergo training to deal with this annoyance. So when they shout it’s not from anger but to scare the fools out of the way.
Guy with tash and the other that was fighting are actors and thank god nothing to do with the guards those lads ARE fully trained soldiers
Good vid, These Guards are real soldiers they serve in this ceremonial function for 3 years before returning to front line duties. They will come from a Regiment eg. Coldstream etc, though occasionally RAF, Gurkhas etc., They train for several months and if individual soldiers pass a rigorous test they will be allowed to take Guard duties.
Some people are just ignorant to the fact they are military and have been deployed to conflicts all over the world . Its a shame .
People need to remember that though these guys wear ceremonial uniforms, they are in fact highly trained elite soldiers. Their job is to protect the monarch. Only the cream of the crop get this position.
These are front line troops first ceremonial second
They're disciplined. I don't think any shown there were angry, except maybe the one who punched someone which was not explained or mentioned. They'd walk through you if needed, but the "step back" is very much so they don't need to, or to set boundaries, not anger. If it was anger it wouldn't be so consistently the same phrase and intonation from every different guard. It's also worth noting that those are real guns, if you get handsy they need to keep you away lest you try to take the weapon, which even the most basic infantry will never allow you to get close to doing. Standing still and at attention like that for the extended periods they do is also far more physically demanding than most people realise. Try doing it for 30 minutes without moving yourself. Then try doing it in that clothing for an entire shift.
a guy messed with the norwegian kings guard, and they aint tin soldiers. they aint playing. layed him out. cuffed him and let the cops take it from there. you see like one guy come running from the breakroom in his t-shirt. "nope! not on my watch. u r done son"
Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace Guards,who approaches the unknown soldiers' tomb in Washington DC?
These are real soldiers many of whom have seen active service not actors and not showmen. Their day job is active soldiering and they will do whatever is necessary to perform their duty and they will push you aside or knock you down if you interfere with them doing their duty. Start a fight and you will be injured.
What was that boy from sports direct doing half way through video 😂😂
It just shows just how stupid some people can be. Touching a soldier on guard duty is really dumb. Normal people won’t touch other strangers much less touch a soldier. However I wouldn’t mind if Ms Amanda touched me. 😂 I’m not a guard. 😂😂😂
I too never understood why people try to annoy them, as far as I know their guns are loaded and they can be used, but aside from that they have the right move you out of the way by any means as far as I know, I've seen so many disrespectful tourists envade their space like they aren't doing a job, like they are some kind of fake guard just for tourists, they train and it's a rigorous thing just to be chosen, again just what I hear, If I ever come to the UK sure I'd love a picture but I'm gonna do it from a good distance. Oh and I don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone who gets knocked down by them, super funny to see.
these videos are funy to watch ex=specially the people that get to close to the horse guard an get a bite on the arm
ahha yep!
"What possesses people to do the things they do?" Ehh... sometimes it's simply ignorance (i.e. they just don't know) but maybe I'm being kind 🙂 Very apposite for me Amanda as only a few days back I pulled over for an ambulance and someone who was behind me pulled up beside me a blocked in the ambulance: in the words of the great American philosopher, D'oh!
I once saw a driver who when everyone else was parting the way to let an Ambulance through on an emergency, that they were parting the way for them and proceeded to drive on thru! Unbelievable!
Which philosopher? 🤔
Its the guard's space, that's the whole point, not the tourist's
Definitely in their rights
These guards have a SERIOUS job to do, they’re not decorative set dressing to entertain tourists’ medieval fantasies. Anyone deliberately taunting them or being immature, deserves to not only be screamed at by them, *but also to be arrested with no warning* - I also feel a taser threat would soon shut down the stupidity.
They’re defending our monarchy. Grow up and enjoy your sightseeing without being stupid.
Using tasers. 🤣
All royal guard's are serving soldiers or at the tower of London ex military and a lot of these people have served in war zones so they should definitely be treated with the respect they deserve people who disrespect them really make me angry 😡😠
As they say in Yorkshire,, there's nowt stranger than folk..
@ 04:50 That is his normal route (edit: Route = Root not Rowt) back to his post!
In all honesty the guards in the video were pretty calm, at the end of the day how many of them tourists would like it if someone walked in front of them and touched them..... Respect if you want to receive respect, that's all they ask for
Back in the day, people would put bits of paper with their phone number on them.
Later on in some would spit at you.
The tourists think they are at disney and not in a serious situation.
let them think that a bayonet is just a toy and bullets dont hurt
@@philiprice7875 The knife culture of the uk is coming out.
@@joeysausage3437 what would be better getting a bayonet in the guts or 25 bullets of 5.56mm into face
Never ever touch the Royal Guard 💂 because they are pretty fierce and shout very loudly and it would make a member of General public jump with fear 😧 so Amanda Rae just look and say nothing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's one way to put it Amanda, if an emergency vehicle is coming at you you move out of the way same for a Royal Guard as he has right of way. Love it but common sense!!!
Hi Amanda. 3 in a row. whats happening! not complaining though. I watch a lot of Royal Guard stuff on youtube, from Horse Guards Parade and some of the morons you see Amanda, makes your blood boil!!! these guys and ladies are real soldiers and trained killers, and deserve the utmost respect, as do the horses. Hoying it down with rain here! hows about you?❤
What people forget is that these are real soldiers who have often fought in wars. The disrespect they suffer is ridiculous.
The Castles are the homes of The Royal family who live in them most of the time & have 1000s of years of history . We dont have to open the gates , We are very proud of them & like to show tourists what we have in our Country. All the Guards are serving militry who have been on active service all over the world . They see this job as an honour to do . The weapons on show are very real & the Guards behind the weapons are no fools . Come & be a tourist , not a mug & embarass your self
even the beefeaters at the tower are all ex squaddies OK they are polite, but if you make a threat you will be face down holding parts of your body that are in pain mode, and you will be wondering if they have a decent hospital care in prison
Thankfully, most tourists respect the King's Guard. So they chuffing should, too. Would they disrespect serving soldiers of their own countries? These are highly-trained, highly-professional soldiers, every one serving their country voluntarily through choice. And who can be - and are - called to go into harm's way in service of their country at any time.
I wouldn't mess with them, they are highly trained killers!
Many people don't know how to respect they only know disrespect. To be disrespectful to others is just sheer bad manners. It would serve the ignorant tourist right if they really really were to get on the wrong side of one of the Kings Guards. 🇬🇧
This just one of the reasons why I am a republican, it's quite clear that many people around the world see us and our royalty as nothing more than some kind of entertainment park attraction.
This is SERIOUS stuff, although I am a republican it doesn't mean that I support bad manners, if I go to your country I respect it's laws and it's traditions, it is after all, just simple very basic good manners to show some respect for the country you are visiting.
I would love it if there were a group of soldiers whose job it was to be 'around' out of uniform, but are on standby to 'deal' with these disrespectful A-holes, by perhaps escorting them out of the area with a warning not to return under threat of arrest if they do, in the event of someone being stupid enough to ignore the warning then the soldiers should have the power to 'hold' them until the police arrive and they can be arrested, taken to a station and charged.
Just show some F-ing respect, it's not a lot to ask.
i agree,
i am an Atheist but when i was in cario and the call to prayer came out i stood up gave a bow to the mosque sat down facing it in short i showed my respect
He was only going to his post at other side
The scene of the punch is not true. The guard is just someone pretending to be a guard - it was a setup.
hey why let the truth get in the way of a tiktok like?
Amanda, please take a look at the top secret drum corps performance at the 2012 Edinburgh, military Tattoo.
These gentlemen are part timers and all have day jobs. (WATCH CLOSELY) 👍👍👍
I think some American tourists visiting other countries behave as if they are visiting a theme park with actors
Go to a F1 race in the United States. The drunk, loud and disrespectful jerks are 99% british.
They act upon orders. They are told to march a route and march through...or over...anyone that gets in the way! Man, woman ...or child!
if the country was in trouble they would expect our fighting men and women to help them just like the frogs in the 2 world wars which I believe they should have left the French fight their own battles
For anyone in doubt, the clip of a guard slapping a tourist is a fake. He's obviously much too scrawny to be a soldier. In real life he would have 'presented' his rifle to the tourist as the others did. The fact that he didn't have a rifle is also a clue. Unfortunately the idiot is all over RUclips.
The Guard at 5:56 is not a real Guard.
Frankly I did not like the shouting and the Guard's interaction with the obnoxious people.
The Greek equivalent are the Evzones of the presidential guard in Athens.
However they are not allowed to move or speak at any instance.
There is an Evzone of the guard (wearing a regular military uniform) in a post near by and if an Evzone has a problem, he hits the buttstock of his rifle on the ground, so that the Evzone of the guard approach and ask him what the problem is.
The reply is with eye signals, since the Evzones are not allowed to speak while on guard duty.
Usually the sergeant of the guard would ask for annoying tourists to back off and he will call the nearby police if required.
There was only one instance recently, when a drunk man tried to take the rifle from the Evzone on guard in front of the entrance of their base and the Evzone knocked him down.
The police intervened immediately and the drunk man was arrested.
One funny thing that happened to me, on the sidewalk, next to the parliament building, they use to walk in when they change the guard in the tomb of the unknown soldier in Syntagma square in Athens.
As I was walking absentmindedly, I heard the steps of the Evzones coming from behind, so I turned my head to see how far back they were and I saw one Evzone shoe right next to my shoulder (and I am 6"`2"), I guess they did the high kick step for me to get out of the way, needless to say I did get out of the way in a hurry and they passed right next to me lol.
Here are some videos about them:
ruclips.net/video/ea4rhvEZFp4/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/ARcwWxILzHs/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/UrT8wsDepHY/видео.html
The changing of the guard takes place every hour, while the grand changing of the guard every Sunday morning.
This one is in Greek but it shows some things about them:
ruclips.net/video/5_v8Wjd6ABQ/видео.html
They used to be able to shout but ordered not to. They should shout. There are other videos of the King's Guards. Most toursts are disrespectable.
People do this because they get millions of views on tik tok etc.
Might the tourists who upset the Guards fwwl the need to clear their Bowels?
Hm, there are four tall, unsmiling men walking in unison at a fast pace while carrying rifles that appear to be loaded topped off with six inches of sharpened steel. I think I'll step in front of them.🙄
What don't you? A lot of people do it on purpose and they're stopping an armed guardsman.
When you say certain words you sound English. Geddon bird God save the King
Would these tourists act as disrespectfully to, for example, US Marines in full ceremonial uniform at the White House or a US Embassy?
Sadly, yes I think they would.
Sadly, yes I think they would
true
ONCE
some people are just rude and / or ignorant.
There goes my hopes for a random stroke from Amanda 😢🤣
only Amanda can say " pooed his pants" and make it sexy 😚😚
You should watch the videos of tourists touching the king’s guards horses and grabbing the reins. They really think they are a tourist attractions . Some of the soldiers charge their horses at them . Funny but not.
Morning Amanda.. hope your welll. Question... if any of these idoits saw someone in say New york or Bejing, Tokio.. if they happend up a tall man with a gun, that had a sharp 8 in knife on the end of it, do you think they would stand in front of them and be annoying??? I think mot... Muppets..
Peace N Love. Davey P.. UK
Hmm whatever happened to the rule of not pointing a gun at someone unless your willing to pull the trigger. I don't think that tourist deserved that and I don't think that guard would have grounds to shoot either
He would be allowed to use whatever 'force' he deemed necessary to protect himself and or the King. although, I may be wrong, If I am I am sure someone will correct me, but I don't think their rifles are actually loaded, although they do have ammunition on them with which to load it if it's ever needed, terrorists for example.
richard head, what makes you think a solider would not kill you if you threaten them.
They are fighting /serving soldiers Amanda, the punch throwing guard is fake/spoof.
Hi Amanda your a baby xxxx
