I just wanted to commend you on the sheer quality of your videos. The image is pristine and I don’t get all dizzy from abrupt and jerky movements (like some Dogme 95 films!) Add to that your witty comments and shiny spine in addressing rudeness and I can safely state that you are the best companion for my morning coffee! Thank you for your excellent work!
Thank you about the Civil War comments,,,so true waist of money
@@txladywolf01 It was shockingly bad!
@@AnaRodriguez-gv2me Dogme 95! Festen is my favourite film of all time! : )
Festen is an amazing film! Dark topics that do slap you in the face and get you thinking… We do live in chaotic times, don’t we? Art that invites self-reflection is always welcome and appreciated. Your videos showcase the good, the bad, and the ugly, if I maybe use another film reference. They do invite us to consider human behavior. I do appreciate your perspective and commentary. Thank you!🙏🏻
As someone who bullied boots for 6 hours to a mirror shine I understand the troopers frustration with people touching 💂
Especially with the amount of surface area on those cavalry boots! Must take ages. I'd be annoyed if someone's greasy Macdonald's eating fingers smeared themselves all over hours of graft.
Plus the weight on a dangling leg over a horse must bother the trooper on the horse. People are so impolite and unaware of their surroundings. They get way too close to horses and troopers on the horse! I have seen troopers bump tourists away leaning on their leg.
Why do these stupid foreign tourists insist on touching the reins and the horse and - yes even these immaculately turned out guards men and women. If allowed in some of your own countries you'd be locked up and receive no sympathy. HANDS OFF!!!!!
Yeah I think it’s something like 2 days to get them perfect worth of cleaning, polishing etc for the kit
My taxes paid for you to waste 6hrs polishing boots ?
Respect these hard working guards,officers and stunning horses ,
they are hard working tourism props.
First, these are trying times why is luggage and backpacks allowed. When did the world turn where children refuse to obey Rules and Adults requests? That child is a child and was out of place on so many accounts.
I agree 💯
@@Kiwi_Jo do you remember after the chch earthquakes when some chinese students died their government tried to sue nz because the kids died? Entitled much.
This is true but the guard seems to be enjoying this meeting with the child, some do have families and they like having the children around
Restrict public access: problem solved. It's a military facility.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. Though it's a public area, there should be railings to restrict getting too close to the guards and horses. They could still take pictures but there should be a set limit to stay within a certain foot . The public have too much access to the guards and horses and don't follow the rules even though it's posted.
@@MWDebbieunfortunately putting barriers around the horses won’t work. The horses are unpredictable so if they freak out or bolt then that could injure the horse and maybe the trooper
Totally agree. I don't quite understand why such large numbers are allowed in. The Military aren't making any money out of people so why allow it
It’s the historical gateway to the Royal Palaces and parks. It has always been used by the public, why should it stop just because people behave rudely? It has to be said, the vast majority who do pass through, do so respectfully.
also a tourist attraction that brings a lot of revenue to London
Knowing the horse’s names is half the fun.They are remarkable creatures. Each is distinctive.
That was nice of the policeman to tip his hat to you, John. It just shows how trusted and admired you are. Thank you for the great videos.
Hello from Sacramento, CA USA. This is my first post. My wife and I watch your channel every day. We also like your commentary. Keep up the great work.
My best wishes to you and your wife Daniel! Thank you both.
I truly love watching these awesome horse guards. When watching these awesome videos, I have observed so many people disrespecting the guards and the horses. This is shameful! These young men and women (I did observe one) work so hard in performing their jobs. If I wasn't 81 years old, I would love to travel from the USA to London just to visit the horse guards. I absolutely love English history all the way back to King Henry VIII and beyond. Thank you.
i met a woman from brighton uk in india , travelling on her own & she was very nearly 80
I’m fairly new to watching these KZhead videos and never thought I’d be hooked on watching the English King’s Horse Guard for hours… Such beautiful horses and magnificently uniformed Troopers. The main reason I subscribed to your channel is your entertaining (and educational) narration! Thanks for introducing this American to such a wonderful British tradition.
The horse is already expressing its opinion. I’m WORKING HERE! Get your filthy hands OFF MY SIDE AND OUT OF MY MOUTH!
This nonsense needs stopping - it's not a bloody theme park.
In the video from 44.22 you can see the child not moving out the way of Kings Guard. Totally shocked - arrogance deluxe by that child, guess it is the way they been brought up......Thanks John for the video.
Young Brit's(guards esp)Donot need to block what little sun England gets all year by dawning dark sunglasses.They,like most Canadians will notice the change at 40 years.Due to lack of sun due to gloom and rain.They are young men "unless the sun is blinding before it exits for the evening.We draw down the visors in our cars in Canada.At about 6:00pm❤Besides,most are quite handsome😊Eyes,are beautiful😊
Kids don’t always understand, especially after walking in the heat,
I’m on my way out, but I did glance at my iPad, and did I see my buddy, the King of Horse Guards, Ormonde strolling in, looking as handsome as ever, hope so? Will check in later. 🐎❤️🐎
Love that big beauty, when he gets all shovey and nippy, Yeah, King.
You are the only one take talks while filming so thank you John xxxx
Most of the other youtubers cannot speak reasonable english or are only interested in getting a video to post to get CLICKS and they post a misleading title
@@mikestewart9215 thats why i don't watch any of the others....watched a few at first then stopped all but this one
es, love the narrative and humour. Love this channel.
That’s why I love John’s channel I don’t care for the rest of them
John also puts the actual day the video was filmed & most if not all of the others do not.
John, you do a wonderful gift of narrating the events of the Kings Horse Guards! You are so knowledgeable of the customs of the guards. Thank you so much. I enjoy watching you every morning!
I loved how the police officer you knew tipped his hat at you xxxx❤❤ and said hello.
I love to watch her. She is an excellent horse woman. It seems she gets the feistiest horses. But she never gives up! Love her!
She’s as feisty as the horses . She’s my fave.
Afternoon John the nerve of some kids you this is not a playground don't fool about. Kid when you are told by the guards you do it
That kid might not speak English and might not understand the context. Don't blame the children for being children, blame the parents for not keeping control of them.
@@bakersmileyfacecorrect but if the children don't understand English the parents probably don't either. However, they certainly should be watching their child.
Some parents think their kid is being cute, I bet they filmed the whole thing and laugh about.
The British use all this royal stuff to boost tourism. Horrible treatment of these magnificent horses. Catastrophe waiting to happen.
John did buska tell you about the emergency shut down of horseguards the other day and the mod building getting attacked it was so lucky it wasn't around the horses how they think desecration of a glorious building will help there cause is beyond me I think its just making people angry towards them they should be made to clean it of and pay for the clean up aswell so glad the horses and guards are all safe and horseguards escaped that Desecration
Watched his video. Quite extraordinary!!
Why do people try to walk through the box is weird. First, you're not supposed to, and second, considering what you are going to step in and have that on your shoe the rest of the day.
The police need to control this better, less posing with their guns.
Nobody tried to walk through. Usually it's not possible as the backdoors are closed.
I starting to think that some of these tourists leave their brains at home, they forget they are a guest in the country they are visiting, manners seem to be non existent
tourist are bane of central London, most of them seem to think we Londoners are part of there holiday, I get people asking me to pose for them and take pictures. crazy.
Brains? Surely you mean the one functioning brain cell.
Most leave what common sense they have at Heathrow or where ever they entered London from. Brains is a question mark.
Hey I thinking the masses. lol
Have u seen how some of you guys behave abroad? This is not half as disgraceful and disgusting. Been to a greece or spanish resort lately ? Shameful behaviour by british tourists is to put it mildly
So many people. I was thinking because it’s Spring maybe people have had enough of winter weather. I’m wondering if the summer is going to be worse. I can’t imagine what it will be like with more people and more obnoxious tourists on the loose. I love how you laugh at the ones who get in trouble almost right in their face. 😂. Have a glorious weekend John. Thank you for keeping so many of us entertained! 💕🇺🇸🇬🇧
OMG where is this little boys parents? They should teach him some manners & how to respect The Kings Guardsmen.
Manners are not "in".
@becks7058. What time stamp is the cheeky kid at?
@@az-yq3rk I didn't see it once?
@@az-yq3rk Shortly before 44 minutes.
@@myoldvhstapesThank you for the information
I love how the Horses ears prick up every time the bell rings. You can almost hear them thinking," Two more bells and I am out of here!" What are the black boxes for on the guards back?
They use to be ammunition boxes but now can hold cigarettes or mobile phones
@@jayjohnson8426 Thank you for the information, I do love this channel compared to the other guards,. Only because People talk to you here. Thank you again. Have a sweet day.😃
An interesting morning, and a few laughs. I have to agree with you John about the crowd, it's amazing. Once again the horses and the guards are incredible. Thank you: Kiwi
Welcome back from Paris, John! Hope you had a good time. I'm starting to think that these horses are realizing that if they have a fit going into the boxes, or have a fit before getting in, that they'll get their wish and be led back to the stables. Horses are very smart, and clue in really quickly. My friend had a horse who would pretend to be Lame, about ten minutes into the ride. She called the vet. After checking over the horse, the vet concluded that there was nothing wrong. At least physically. It seemed that the horse had figured out that if it faked being lame, the owner would immediately return to the barn.
I'm sure I saw a favourite horse in the first group of Blues and Royals , the lovely Monty 😍. It's been a while since we've seen him at Horse Guards . The young man who is with the official photographer is he an apprentice ? The COH has a spur on his sleeve indicating a Riding Instructor . That child ! Well I'm lost for words ( not something that happens often 😂) , love to know what was going through the Troopers mind 😁. The MOD officer waving goodbye to the youngsters , classic 😂😂😂, well caught John ! As always thanks and looking forward to part 2 .
When the guard walking back I thought how funny the people look at him as to think OH WOW HES A REAL PERSON ?
The sunglasses would make them even more cool looking, but I like seeing their eyes. I'm an eye person, I like seeing pretty eyes. Window to the soul
London city walks, beautiful, I lived in London in the early 60ies, saw the changing, and sometimes other activities with the horses. I must tell you I've been watching your channel. On and off for the last 24 hrs. Stunning heavingly, amazing horses and the guards such patience. Some of the tourists are beyond ignorant ,the guy posing is in love,with himself discussing. Thank you so much wonderful job looks better than I remember. Got my heart fluttering.
Why is it up to the officers and the guards to deal with these obnoxious, entitled, and rude tweens? 29:06 - Buh-bye!! 🤣🤣 44:24 - Wow! What a little brat! I'm glad that the trooper pushed by him. Definitely not scared. I think obstinate is the better word. He needs to learn some manners.
No. Sunglasses would take away the authenticity of the uniform.
When I was in the army in the 1980’s sunglasses were forbidden and we were often told we’re not American and it looks unprofessional.
@@amandasmith3716 agreed because eye contact particularly when you’re leasing with locals is important
maybe they are blind
You are the only one who names the horses
Those tourists that nearly walked through the box made me laugh
The dismount w/ the Lady Trooper , Magnificent! The little boy needs some talking to! Hey, John can you maybe show your face at least once so we know who is showing us these wonderful videos and teaching us about the British Kings Horse Guard! 💂 Thank you from Illinois, USA!
Another great filming this morning. Super mario graced us for the day lol. The uniform look great with the sun gleaming on them. Yur laugh is so contagious..when that little kid was frozen with fear... then trashy tuktuks ..how lovely that you had time to talk to the lady and she had such praise for you. Lovely.❤
Useless comment.. trash
Filmed 12.04.2024….. Part 1 of 2.😎 Make a Tea,Coffee or a Drink, Sit down and ENJOY this video😀
@mikestewart9215 Allow me to express it with all respect. I read ALL the comments on ALL the wonderful videos on this channel... the best on the subject. We can't beat this John ! 💕🐴 And, *every time* I see *_the same almost identical message_* that YOU leave... Always the same... on the date filmed. Yes we know *:* the info about the date filmed and the part (1de2...) is always listed in the "Description section" by scrolling down to the bottom, click on _more..._ Eureka we find it. I've seen you (your comments) before on another Channel... and I think I know, no I know why you're doing this here. I'm not adding anything but don't think less of it. *To John thank you very much for all.* 🙏🌷
@@mikestewart9215 Sorry for you... I know you. But... you don't understand the sense of my comment. It's up to you. For you ▶👀 👓 👀 I think *:* you've need the 👓 for see certain things. Have a good continuation.
Hey John, the young lady who led the second group is not the Lady Captain. She's the second NCO, you can tell because she's wearing the aiguillette (those gold bands) on her left shoulder. Officers wear them on the right and she has no cords or epaulettes of the same material, you will only find them on the officers. I assume she is a Lance Corporal bc her aiguillette is quite narrow and thin. And her horse wears the Trooper ornament (white headband) not that of the officers of the Blues and Royals (gold forehead piece with black tassel under the head).
Absolutely correct! I noticed that later and corrected myself in Part Two (coming later) when she was in the Tilt Yard. Thank you!
@@LondonCityWalks oops I didn't want to anticipate anything 😅 - but you're welcome
The little kick 😂 she did stand too close The child not moving --- I don’t have the words 😂
which minutes ?
Around 18.20 😂
She actually touched the bottom of her boot. Time 18:15
It’s b3cause the woman rested her hand on the stirrup and touched the boot.
Loved the policeman who waved to the morons!! Great seeing the lady captain of the Blues and Royals, very nice.
Good afternoon John wet and warm in Northern Ireland. Hope your well xxxx
I feel for you, Brits, 30c. In South East Queensland, Australia, summer 30c with 97%, humidity is a cool day. It is autumn here, and it is currently 29c with 97% humidity. I can imagine you feel the heat because it is not the norm. Love watching the beautiful horses. 😊
I know what I would do if either of ,my 2 sons had behaved like so many of these Tourists do and I had my look that said it all, both over 6ft and me barely 5ft, . didn't need to say a word.. "If looks could kill comes to mind"
My dad had that kind of look
Good afternoon John. A beauty no name horse. Wow. Some more investigating to do. 😊 Hilarious when people don’t see the horse with their heads in their phones. 😂
These unidentifiable numbers are truly messing with my system
Oh, they’re referring to Franklin the little guard yes he does live a ways away but when he does come to town, he is well seen and well admired😂❤❤❤
Yes Wee Frank is so cute I love it when he shows up.
John it was such a pleasure to meet you & Mark & the other guy who we stood by. It all made an amazing experience for me , a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much.😊
Absolutely my pleasure! ❤️
I have only noticed a couple times, but it seems Ormond is more gentlemanly with a pretty female Trooper on his back! She seems to give Ormond a calming effect ☺️ if possible. As to when he has a male Trooper riding him it seems like they give off vibes to each other more like “WAR!!!” Charge!! Bite, Kick, Run, Stomp, etc. 😤
The coh looks good in his uniform so do all the troopers and the horses are beautiful and behaving well so far i like the life guards they're handsome the blues and royals are too makes me laugh when the horses make a funny noise even you laugh at them im loving this video
Lincoln is the trooper that had a go at the lady tourist arm.
Lincoln is the horse not the trooper
@@darrenjones3681 Horses hold the rank of Trooper in the household cavalry
@@richardjohnson5529 yes I know but most watchers would not understand that
John did you enjoy your trip to France hope you did, you were missed here. Loved that little boy it was so funny , but he was lucky it was that guard on duty Well you had a lovely day today filming. Have a lovely evening hope you’ve eaten today and plenty to drink
Too funny. Even the mounted trooper had a big smile when the gatesman had to stop for that little camera dude.😅
Recliner time….woo hoo!! Between horses & osprey…I’m so happy !!!and John of course!!!😎🌻😎
I really enjoy your videos. I wish you would make a video of funny outtakes , meltdowns, Etc. That lady touching the guards boot was funny . Watching from Detroit Metropolitan area, Warren, MI, USA.
John there is only one trooper i want to see this weekend and that is Ormonde.
Parents need to teach their children respect,
Not traditional of course, but I’d think mirrored sunglasses to match their shiny armor would be cool. Horseys would also need some cool sunglasses! Or would they be sun-goggles? 😂
Given the design of the helmets I don't think sunglasses would work however I think they would actually help them do their job better with UV taking off the glare so they could see people more clearly. Love you John, thanks for your hard work 😊
Hi, for the first time in approximately 6 weeks I've caught up with all your videos. I'm able to watch this video within 15 minutes of you posting it John. I feel like i have achieved something 🙂
Even I haven't watched *all* of my videos! That's some achievement!!
Not all of your videos only from the last six week. I do have a backlog from when I started watching your channel last summer. I will manage all videos some time in the future. I hope😂😂
I am so glad to see your channel growing! I believe it only going to get better! I watch a few of these but I feel yours is the best. ❤😊
I think they should move back into the box if it gets too sunnybe more comfortable.love the Blues and Royals.Also your humour, having four hands!!×
the stupidity of people never ceases to astound me. Why stand near where a horse is coming out? Common sense is not around, obviously. I feel so sorry for the troopers trying to get them to move.
The Troopers on the horses do not like the tourists leaning on the stirrups or their legs. Most troopers bump the tourists if their legs or feet are touched. Have you never noticed? It happens many times.
If a tourist had their leg whether in boots or not touched by a total stranger , they'd be screaming and demanding the police ! Horses can kick , so can Troopers 😁. Haven't seen any bite yet though 😂😂😂
The boots have stirrups attached and those are use to control the horse, someone pushing the boot could cause a problem with the horse.
@@maybarnard1088 spurs. Stirrups are where their feet go.And frankly spurs or no, if some stranger grabbed MY foot on horseback they’d be eating my boot!!
Yes
It’s more because of the Mind Numbing amount of time it takes to polish their kit. Those boots are so polished the captain can see his reflection in them. No one wants a finger put on those boots lol
Thank goodness for your camera! I love the fact you can show us all that’s happening! From Barrie 🇨🇦
Here in Barrie Ontario Canada, today is May 7, 2024 - 9:32 am
Absolutely fantastic to watch all the changing of Troopers 💂🐎🤗✨️💖
Great to see the ladies getting more recognition John
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹. Thank you very much for your explanations, that help me to understand some of the traditions.
I watch from USA and I agree John does a great job explaining everything.
See John i told you yesterday in my comment don't know if you read it but its that box again 🤔 joking a side excellent 1st part our Guards all of them are just Blooming Marvellous, they have a duty to do and they do it no matter if the tourists like it or not i just love um❤ Thank you John looking forward to part 2. Stay safe John ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi John love your videos off London . And all the horses and guards . They do a good job . Keep up the good work
I haven't seen my favourite Trooper lately, the one I have nicknamed Boots because he nudges everyone with his foot. Great video John. The sun seems to have brought the madness out.
Don’t forget to give John a big thumbs up! 👍
😁If shouted at by the military police counts, then Buska is the one who won the prize.🤣
Ministry of Defence Police, Public. Different from Military Police, Armed Forces, they are usually known as the Red Caps.
Good day John. Noticed at the beginning the Life Guards didn't dismount in the yard. I 'm guessing because they are leaving shortly? Cheers ❤ 🇨🇦 🐴🐴
Texting while walking could big dangerous. Ever see people texting and walking right into a fountain...so funny
I once sall it in a shopping mall here in America. So funny!😂😂😂😂
How about walking into a horse? Or better yet, ALMOST walking into a horse, but noticing at the last second , shrieking like a banshee, and running away 🤣
Far too many are addicted to their mobiles.
Like the pink cancer ribbon on the last Blues Royals trooper right arm as they rode in earlier. ❤ Good day John. Hope you're enjoying your day. 😊
OMG!! Thats so funny to hear him say, “its 18 degrees at 11 am and its going to be a stonker today!!” Its nearly winter here in Australia and currently its 20 degrees at 9 pm!
i agree John they should be allowed to wear sun glasses.
yes pickpocketing is rife now, so watch your wallet and bags.
No to sunglasses 😎
You're SO funny John! Love you're videos.
Many years ago I was in London, staying at the ...??? Garden Hotel, and was woken up in the early hours by the sound of horses clopping by. I thought I must be hallucinating.,so I got up to see many of them being ridden past. What an experience!
The Royal Garden Hotel on Kensington High Street. 👍🏻
I simply can't comprehend why some people behave the way they do. NO manners. It's all about them. Frightening really. No wonder these kids feel so entitled and behave just the same way. I'm surprised they let that go on. Quite soon they will have to restrict access because people become too rude, and safety will be a big issue. WHY do people need a photo with their hands on the reins? It's mind boggling. People are out of control, touching things they shouldn't touch and they aren't even embarrassed. Quite the contrary. They are outraged when told what to do. That's a mirror of society really. I really can't believe what I'm seeing to be frank. London will be off the list in the summer months.
Welcome back from your getaway John!! Your circus continues lol. You’ve really put some smiles on my face today. I love you imitating the horses!! And the crazy bold tourists are in full bloom😂😂
Hi yet again John, your comments are responsible for my coffee splattering my iPad! You may remember the saying “Oh you're awful but I like you 🤣” I have only just started to watch ❤️
Dick Emery!! “Oooh you are awful, but I like you”
@@paulinemegson8519 Thats the one 😆
" Hello honky tonks " another Dick Emery classic 😂😂😂.
Hya John. I agree humid 26° is much worse than 42°dry and hot. I just love the summer order. Thank heaven you're tall. You see all the fun.
Oh, the CoH, how magnificent is he 😍
Admitting to a major fangirl thing for KarenSlayer. More of her , please.
She's fantastic isn't she , and an excellent horsewoman 😊
The cop was saying hi to all of us
What a lovely Trooper with the kid...''Watch out mate'' ..👍
Yes John You can have a horse do what they don't want. It starts once you start handling them, Preferably when they're young,it's amazing g how athletic, they are.
The horses are so patient with all of those people.
These tourists are unbelievable!
Funny, I thought, when they rode in and you said "Captain". Not with a Short Guard, surely? But the better view at the changeover at the end confirms you're right with Lance Corporal of Horse.
I'm interested in the clothing mix, tshirts to coats and scarves, lol. Yep, typical UK.
THE SUPRISE Is she's going to charge them all 100 quid each.
Oh God this would drive me crazy, I was in the Welsh Guards in the 70s and did the usual public duties, but at least back then ,say in St James` , the tourists kept their distance and didn`t get in the way as you marched, here it looks a bit chaotic with everyone doing as they please. You do great videos by the way.
I’m back haven’t been feeling well. Good to be back. Welcome home John xxxx
What an amazing visual, watching a no nonsense lady trooper, whooshing the crowd back. Aviation sunglasses should be a must for the guards, on sunny days. The chitsman in the arch facing the sun, must find it miserable. The Life Guards always look magnificent. People who want to manhandle the horses or get too close to the guards, should be charged a fee. The guards/horses are working after all, and it's not an amusement park.
The public shouldn’t have access anymore because people are very disrespectful now a days! Disgusting Behavior!
