Timestamps: 0:00 Walking from Big Ben to Horse Guards. 16:20 The famous Changing of the Guard 12pm. Note: They change guards and horses every hour, from 10 am to 4 pm That means they work for one hour and rest for one hour. 18:32 Why did they slap the horse? The purpose of guards slapping their horses when dismounting is to ensure the horse is prepared for the change in weight distribution as the guard descends from the horse. The first one on the neck is essential to tell the horse, "good job." The second slap is to inform the horse that there is an excessive displacement of weight on one side at dismount. 19:35 What happens there? She's making the king's guard smile. Is she giving her number to him? 30:44 Unsettling horse leaves the box and tourists watch. 31:37 Two gorgeous police horses pass by. 40:04 Two gorgeous police horses coming from Horse Guards Parade. 42:50 Huge "MAKE WAY" as the gateman checks on the horsemen. 51:10 Second change..."GET WAY FROM THE ARCHES!" Trespassing. 56:10 The majestic King's Guard stands at the tunnel waiting for the Changing of the Guard. 1:04:04 Photos with the majestic King's Guard - The Blues and Royals at the tunnel until the armed police officer asking people to walking the other side.

They treat him like he's a mannequin instead of a real person. For goodness sake have respect for these brave soldiers. They have fought overseas. 😮❤

Absolutely love the Scotsman who plays Scottish tunes on the bridge or at the intersection there, in Parliament Square♥♥. He always seems to be there, playing his Scottish bagpipe, which is amazing. I would listen to him for hours, because i love Scottish songs. They always make me cry, but i don't really know why. I wonder what that Scottish gentleman's story of his life is and why he is always playing there on the bridge or in the intersection. If I'm not mistaken he was playing a rendition of "Amazing Grace", the bagpipe version, at one point in your video😉😉 The lady that was talking to the Guard looked like she was explaining something to him (or at least she was trying to) and then showed up the 5-finger hand, maybe the number 5? But i don't think it was her phone number, otherwise there would have been other digits as well. It was just a "5". He didn't seem to understand what she wanted from him, he had a kind face towards her but it didn't look like he was smiling. It was more like "look, lady, i would help you but i don't know what you want from me, please move along"😆 He didn't react in any way to her. Maybe she was not fluent in English so she didn't know how to explain. Great video of today!☺Have a great evening!

WHO ARE THE KING'S GUARD? Formed in 1969, the regiment emerged from the merger of the Royal Horse Guards ("the Blues") and the Royal Dragoons ("the Royals"), units with roots in the mid-17th century. Serving globally, it had roles in Northern Ireland, the Cold War in West Germany, the Falklands War, UN missions in Bosnia, and conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was part of key defense strategies and reconnaissance missions. Notably, Prince William and Prince Harry joined as cornets in 2006. HOW LONG DO THE ROYAL GUARDS AND ROYAL HORSES WORK? After the officer checks them at 4:00 p.m., everyone, whether they're on horseback or not, will be done for the day. Two guards on horses watch the entrance to Horse Guards on Whitehall from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. They switch out every hour. WHY THEY SLAP THE HORSE? The purpose of guards slapping their horses when dismounting is to ensure the horse is prepared for the change in weight distribution as the guard descends from the horse. The first one on the neck is essential to tell the horse, "good job." The second slap is to inform the horse that there is an excessive displacement of weight on one side at dismount. HORSES ON HOLIDAY IN THE UK Following the conclusion of the Summer Ceremonial Season, these diligent military horses are respectfully sent to the LEICESTERSHIRE countryside for a well-deserved period of rest and recuperation. One may observe them taking a break on the beaches of Holkham in Norfolk, where they are free to enjoy themselves. During their six-week vacation, the horses are free to roam the verdant fields, inhale the invigorating country air, and revel in the delight of mud baths. At the break of dawn, they are escorted to the square at Hyde Park Barracks, where horse-drawn carriages await to transport them beyond the city limits. Their meticulously trimmed coats are allowed to grow naturally, and their metal shoes are removed. It is a joyous occasion for these majestic creatures! www.army.mod.uk/news-and-events/news/2023/08/military-working-horses-set-free-for-holiday-frolics/ ❤️ Please LIKE 👍 this video to help my channel grow. ❤️ Subscribe & click the bell (🔔) to receive notifications whenever I upload a new video; you'll be the first to know. ❤️Become a Channel Member💂JOIN HERE: / kzitem.info/rock/zs3UW3PEzYv66Yy9nD7D8gjoin Your contribution supports my Channel to create daily videos for you ❤️ Wishing you an amazing day ahead!

Didn't look like the guard was smiling to me. It looked like she was harassing him.

The woman at 19:35 is so disrespectful!! These guards are highly trained military soldiers!! He is trying to do a job and she was harassing him!! Now he can get a hefty fine for smiling because of that disrespectful woman!! She just wanted to see if she could get the guard to smile!! which is also disrespectful because these guards are not there for people's amusement nor entertainment!!
