"What are they taking pictures of?" in the first minute......those of us in North America absolutely adore the style and look of those types of shopfronts you have in England (and parts of Europe). The architecture alone is well worth the pictures. You're so lucky to have streets and Burroughs that are so pleasing to the eye. :)

Watching today + everyday. I'm addicted to ppl/horsey watching.❤

Morning….Thor is magnificent!!Love the Blues & Royals!!😎🌻

What the hell is wrong with some people parents have their child/childen out with them keep an eye on them. You g children will rn around they want to explore the horse guaed NO play ground. Depending on the childs age some should know better too. The guards are NOT baby siters they are on duty doing their job certainly don't want to witness idiotic behaviour.

Nice to see the female officer back. She is great.

I don’t understand why people feel they can touch the horses!

The lady doing the hand sign with both hands it means a heart, love sign. Thanks for the great videos

There was a big gap in my visits to London. The first thing I noticed was the addition of the bollards protecting pedestrians from errant vehicles. I’ve been married long enough to say when I took my bride to the UK for the first time, we could get a picture from inside Downing Street. On the same trip, we got stopped by an old dear who started the conversation with “London didn’t used to be like this” and she proceeded to tell us about some of the interesting bits just close by. As a Canadian, my wife just assumed that practices in the UK would be very similar to home, after all, her grandmother always said the family was “British to the core”. I spent many years in the UK so my style of dress blended in, but clearly, that old dear spotted the wife as a visitor, probably took her for an American. She did experience a bit of culture shock so I took her to the Maple Leaf for drink. Hockey was on the TV. Funny how odd tidbits from the past stick with you.

John threat level is at 3 which means a definite threat that’s why a high police presence

No matter what language, when the police wave people back and people are moving away, it's the sign to follow police orders

The helicopters you saw this morning was a nationwide farewell flight to commemorate the phase out of the Apache AH1

It is Russian, John. My father speaks Russian. He was taught by the military. When he left the military, he was classified as a tri-linguist. English, French, and Russian. He then went to work as a civil servant for National Rescourses Cananda. He can still speak Rusdian today, and he learned it back in 1972.

I do wish tourists would give the new horses and guards at least a few minutes to settle in before charging up for a photograph.

These Cavalry Blacks are fine horses! Very handsome and nicely behaved, most of the time. Now we have Tipper on the left and on the right, we have Passiondale. See next Part two.

I'm wondering if the coverage in the Daily mail the other week has increased visitors , some will probably have had no idea Horse Guards exists and there are really horses and Troopers to see ? I do enjoy " people watching " some of the clothes , facial expressions , posing and gestures are hilarious , sometimes unintentionally at other times well you have to wonder 😂. If only all Tour Guides were as good as the man emphasising that the Troopers are trained soldiers and how to behave towards them ! Hope you enjoyed your snooker yesterday John 😀. Thanks and as always looking forward to part 2 xxx

I love the way the Trooper looked back at the Chinese lady just sfter Harry Potter!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

At least the new sign makes it clear that these are real soldiers

Really, sometimes the people are like a pack of lions getting ready to attack. The changing over is a fairly easy process. When the new horse comes in, the guard doesn't even have a moment to settle himself or the horse before the packs attack. Give them a break people, better yet......just stay back!!

The LG horse with the unusual face markings you previously identified as Quarterback, thanks for the video.

The horse you’re standing in front of right there Thro he look like the regal of a carriage horse. You can see he’s got a lot of muscles rippling in his quarters. If you watch him standing there, you could see the muscle moves in his legs very impressive looking animal.❤❤❤

Hello from Michigan USA ❤

The thumbs and index finger sign is a heart .

Would love to know what the guards think when they are sitting there . lol

Good morning John have a blessed day.

Hi John from Canada, might see you in April ❤

Thor and viper are gorgeous horses.❤❤❤❤

I’ve seen many of your videos several times and just now realized in this video, the horse that is paired here with the Caucasian Trooper (time marker 18:58) on the first Blues & Royals shift distinctly has a dark heart on his nose (or three large dark spots when his head is raised). Love your channel ❤️ From Washington state ❤️ Thank you to the Troopers for their service (especially Ormonde 😊)

They're taking pictures of the shops, John. We don't have shops like that. We took pictures of everything we saw that we have never see here in CA

If I would not see this I would never know that there was a list of horses with numbers!, and aficionados that know their names!!! Impressive!!

Absolutely addicted to your channel! You actually inspired me to plan another trip to London some day soon! I also love all those horses, sure it is not a petting zoo, but I am certain I could not hold back lol.

Hi John, security has been tightened up all over the country, especially in London due to the Moscow attack. Regards Barry.

It,s not the guards job to tell your kids to move but good on him,good video john.glad there where more officers

Interesting morning today - something of a mystery as to why there's so many police. Both Viper and Thor are very curious horses. Viper is a real Cav Black - can't see any white on him at all. Thor has very unusual nose/mouth markings. They're lovely horses. 🥰

Afternoon John great video

Love you, John, you're great.I love your commentary all the joking.Your sense of humor you're fantastic. If you go to Pari, hope you have a great time and get to do what you want to do.Good luck❤❤❤❤❤

I have read the Daily Mail about the naughty tourist's who mentioned you it was quite a big article with picture's well done

Perhapes they think you're of Royalty and come out of the palace for a break 😂lol Thank you for the video ❤️🇬🇧👍

The cop on the spectacular gray also has a spectacular leg! Position, that is. Like all sports and really, most endeavors, the best results in riding horseback are obtained by following a set of rules which helps get us out of our own way and succeed at the given task. It also helps us get out of the horse's way. "Equitation" is knowledge accrued since the first horse was ridden, and has developed into the proper positioning of the body to create the most effective rider possible, plus applying voice, weight, hands, and legs to ask the horse to do things. Requests like circle, stop, begin to canter (slow gallop), etc. It involves performing specific movements: changing the leading leg in canter when changing direction, lateral movements (great for avoiding other riders who suddenly get in the way), keeping the fore- or hindlegs almost still while describing a circle like a compass with the opposite pair of legs (s'how gates are opened), etc etc. Each type of riding has its own rules, its own most desirable 'seat,' (the overall position) as well as its own equipment. While generally conservative, things do evolve and/or change over time in the horsey world; e.g., since the late 80s, increasing numbers of US western riders (a la les cowboys) have been using both hands on the reins, far milder bits and spurs, and saddles weighing less than 40 pounds (18+ kilos in new money).

A lot of parents have no business having children.

She was waiting for the horse to turn its head towards her so the picture could be taken, John.

The first gaurd is my favourite he's always on form stands no nonsense and keeps eye on his horse ❤️🇬🇧👍

WOW! 160 years that is what I wanted to know.

Good morning, John. 😊

I'm still laughing at the dark glasses and orange trousers posing. My hairy aunt!!!

Morning John. Looks like another busy day in the yard…😂 your befuddlement with the picture taking tourists reminds me of the time I took a friend from Germany to see “Hobbiton”(yes it’s touristy….it’s also very cool) We were sat in the cafe, watching a group of Japanese tourists, getting very excited and eagerly taking photos…..but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out WHAT they were taking photos OF……turns out there were a couple of sheep in a small yard, and they were what they were getting all excited about….. Sheep………to say I was confused would have been something of an understatement😳🤯🤣Sheep are……ubiquitous I guess is the word😂here. It was hard for me to imagine WHY anyone would be excited about a picture of a sheep, but they surely were🤷🤣 The horse with the unusual markings is Quarterback I believe….very handsome lad. And please, again, I BEG of you John🙏, pretty PRETTY please, when you’re trying to identify a horse, PLEASE try to get a picture that INCLUDES the front hooves and shows both rear legs, because sometimes the distinguishing mark is as tiny as a forefoot coronet marking. Yes, I have been known to yell at my iPad……”down a bit……just go down another cm or so……arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!” 🤣😳🤣 I THOUGHT I heard a lovely lilting Irish accent there…..love the Irish accent….falls soft and sweet on the ears like a soft rain on the hills of county Mayo(or something like that 😉😂)

Good Morning, John. Little late this morning. We just had another 7 inches of snow on top of the 40 inches we already had. I'd say, Spring in Colorado has sprung a snowy leak. Have a Great Day!❤😊

I am so happy RU-vid put our page back to original page the way it was before hated the new one Thank you

Hello. Mr.John..have a wonderul..day..Do take care..

NICE SIGN! Every little bit helps!!

12:21 Those are finger hearts dear John!

Good job as usual God bless

😊the female is thumb forefinger to form a I Heart You. They do that in Korea. ❤

Good afternoon John, I thought the first unknown beauty was Quarterback, I may be wrong

Loving hearing the names of the horses ❤

1:00:20 I've never seen the police like they are now. Weapon held downwards but ready watching the crowd. Your right John there is more alert police in the yard. Its a sad world that we can't have a 🌍 world 🌎 where such alertness is needed.

The Trooper on Thor isn't giving him his head like they normally do. He's keeping a tight rein and control of him. Not like the Trooper on Viper. Viper has full use of of it's head and neck, but not with Thor. He must be new to the box or something. Just an observation.

I do like the Blues and Royals Guards and horses, majestic. Really enjoyable hour John. Thank you: Kiwi

Wonder if the sign adjuster will show up today...

Heart sign (with the finger and thumb) (K pop)

Morning John...see way to many students...don't they stay in school anymore..lol...have a great day..little windy....have a great day.

A video of al those horses in Paris would be wonderful I bet those rooms will be stupidly expensive

I have to say Passchendaele is one handsome horse. Sad not to see Ormonde this time. He is one cheeky character 😂.

I think its quarterback.❤

Hi John from Philadelphia!

look at the footage at 11 with those boys the guard looks cheesed off bless him A J

Helicopters are Apache Gunships [ Army] based in Suffolk or Hampshire

The police Grey was lovely but that Bay was absolutely stunning!!

"The other Thor" 😂😂😂

Brilliant commentary, I love guessing what nationality the tourists are…..😊😊😊😊

John, John, John. Tsk tsk. Quarterback wants to know how unusual his markings have to be for you to remember his name 😂

Enjoy watching your videos and the commentary you give as well. Watching from Australia

Hi, and it's Quarterback

John i would love you to film the parade in paris and show it on the channel.

Is that a spelling mistake on the sign, The Household Cavalry Museum ENTANCE?

Good afternoon lovely John how is one today xxxxx

Morning from sunny Tucson

I saw Indiana at least, no Ormonde 😢

I’m sure some of these idiotic and so called parents, think the guards are there to babysit and protect their kids ? Duh, NO, your kid, your responsibilty, your job to make sure your child is safe, If u don’t , and something happens, god forbid, you, cos no one else will

Hi John 🙌

Hello John!!what a mysterious video that was lots of things going on 🤔 stupid morons being screamed at police but we had the Magnificent Guards and their horse's they were beautiful. Excellent about the sign at the Arches 👌 looking forward to part 2 Thank you John stay safe ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thor is having a stamp protest! Viper seems to be getting anxious too. John you are to modest I think the Russian group were delighted that you could speak some of their language. Viper is getting a bit more miffed now.

Maybe somebody was stark naked in the window???!!!!😂

Taki g pics of beautiful store front. Perhaps where they are from they don't have colorful store fronts?

John, I am curious now, with them having changed the sign to read The King's Life Guard, if the Trumpeters now have a new standard on their trumpets as well. Because on the last long guard, they still had the late Queen Elizabeth II's standard on their trumpets. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦

15:34 Viper a snake. But did look and found That the Royal Navy deploy on their ships. an air-defence system call Sea Viper. 33:39 orange 🍊 pants for the lady😮. Each to their own. 48:29 see the old soldier by the Guard kiosk chatting to the tourists. The stories he could tell.

Brad Pitt is in Pub accross the road

If you look like Pitt or Clooney I want to see it please. I enjoy your videos.

Looks like they even dug up one to bring for a family photo

Afternoon John .

Thor is doing the hokey pokey

Strange how things change over the years, people used to keep left when walking on the foot path, now they seem to always keep to the right.

Well they put the new sign up but has anyone spotted the blatant spelling mistake....

Hi John. The first horse of the lifeguards I don’t know his name. I have a photo but still no name. Second one is Quarterback. 😊😊

12:17 Red coat girl was looking at the horse. You could also tell by how she’s tilting her head. You do that with babies or pets. :) 🌷🌱

What’s with all the foolish hand gestures?

Maybe orienting new police to the site, or gearing up for Easter holiday crowds

John, How do you know so many languages [even bits and pieces of conversations?] I think it's great that you do.

Woo orange pants is flaming!!!

No King Ormonde😭😭😭😭. Thor is beautiful. Yes Indigo beautiful. John is the camera man Sean (?) there everyday? Does he have a website to look up? He seems very nice. It boggles the mind that someone would follow the guard into the arches to get a pictures. The heightened security may be because of the ISIS attack in Moscow.
