Guard and Horse Show POWERFUL Respect to Old Guard Veteran 

The old man was wearing the regimental tie for the Brigade of Guards. The regimental colors were also on the man's hat band. As such the young Kings Guard would certainly have recognized the old man as a veteran of the Brigade of Guards and deserving of respect. In the UK, one does not wear a regimental tie unless you served with that regiment.

I noticed what appeared to be a very subtle salute with the sword when the veteran presented himself.

A lovely Gentleman who showed manners and respect..an almost extinct breed today..much respect to him and the young Guard.❤❤❤.

As the daughter of a Regimental Sergeant Major, now sadly no longer with me, the respect shown by the old gentleman and the young guard to each other brought tears to my eyes. Whether you have served or are still serving, there is no time limit on respect, this interaction was wonderful, all praise to this generation of guards and grateful thanks to all retired army veterans. Heroes all ❤❤

The Guard saluted the Veteran so quickly I think he recognised him. Maybe a retired Officer.

Respect…respect…respect…doesn’t cost but a minute…but what it gives can last a lifetime.

If you have served in the army, particularly one of the guards regiments, the manners conduct and dress is ingrained. Once a Soldier always a Soldier.

"ONCE A HORSE GUARD ALWAYS A HORSE GUARD". THEY ARE A SPECIAL BREED OF PERSON . . . AND THEY ALL DESERVE ALL OF THE HONOR AND RESPECT BESTOWED UPON ANY INDIVIDUAL.

That man stood out so much from the tourist crowds.

Wonderful to see the young Guard salute the older Guard & vice versa. Absolute respect sadly lacking these days! 👍👏👏🇬🇧

What a lovely moment between the old guard and the new guard. People can learn a lot from these two, respect being one thing and traditional values another.

The guard barely turned his head and noticed those colors side eyed, in a puddle of people. People forget that those guys are elite soldiers and not just a tourist attraction. The situational awareness was on point.

manners don't cost nothing nor does respect too and that gentleman is prove also total respect to the guard as well

Respect to the older gentleman and the young guard talking to him

What a wonderful gesture towards the Veteran and equally to the Guard. Lovely Guard and his Horse 🐎. Manners cost nothing pity no-one tells the tourists that. My Dad always said "Manners Maketh The Man"! He was in the Blues & Royals.

11:55 here he comes finally, well played

A proper British Gentleman, a very rare sight nowadays .

I remember as a child, being taken to see the carrying on at horseguards parade, i thanked the guards at the time for their service. Later on we went to the Royal Tournament and met the men and their horses in their stalls afterwards, spoke to some of the soldiers and gave a carrot to his horse, this was in about 1958

Very quick to have picked the old gentleman out as he moved through the crowd. Loved the interaction, Respect shown between them.

To the gentleman, thank you from the daughter of a WWII British Army veteran 🌺

The Guards horses are so patient. They put up with a lot more than normal.

WOW!!! I see a real gentleman How special, it is not very often seen these day's, it must be a time traveler!!!😊😊😊

The salute by the guard was priceless

Notice how docile the horse is around the older man. Even the horse recognizes a veteran soldier

Wish tourists would listen when police tell them to get back .drives me nuts ,respect police,soldiers ,guards,horses

It never ceases to amaze me the mounts (The Horse) always seem to recognize old soldiers. Our mounts were the same, always sensed and recognized the old soldiers.

What a beautiful moment between two troopers, even the horse seemed to show the guy respect. Brilliant

What a great soldier and horse showing wonderful respect to the retired gentleman Well done Sir ❤

It was very nice that they could share a conversation.

How wonderful to see that the guard and the new guards show the same respect to each other.😊

That well-dressed gentleman shows how inelegant our age is. So sad.

The elderly gentleman is obviously connected to the military and the guard knew him. The guard saluted him when he raised his hat.

Respect and thanks to the Veteran, I would imagine that some of these posturing tourists will feel quite stupid when they get to show their photos to their friends !!!!!!

The tie and the hatband displaying regimental colours.

What a wonderful moment to see i think even the Guard horse knew this gentleman was one of their own I salute you sir and the guard aswell xx

What a lovely gentleman how thoughtful.

Utmost respect to these two men. I wish tourists would watch these videos first before they visit.

What a wonderful sight , a veteran showing respect to the horse and guard . Good manners are a rare thing these days .❤ ❤ ❤

he isnt a Veteran,he is one of the Senior Regimental Officers.

The elderly gentleman had a guards tie on. I love the mutual resect. I really like this guard, he is so kind and friendly.

Lovely to see 👏👏

Such a simple but powerfully respectful gesture when a gentleman 'tips his hat'. I wish the men today would do that - if only men wore 'proper' hats these days.

Mutual respect.

Lovely to see the best of English manners and respect for our armed forces,

How many times do people have to be told "behind the black barriers, please"!?!?!?🤔🙄

Doffed his hat and received a salute from the Guard! Military maybe?

Mon dieu …… si nous devions subir encore une guerre !!!! Voyez les mentalités !!! Même sans guerre , ça fait peur , ce qui compte à présent : restau. Amusements . Sexes en tous genres …. Mais l’amour des humains , nature ( quand on voit devant les grilles les ordures !!!!! ) tout fait peur !! Merci vous les gardes et vos si beaux chevaux , merci ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Monique .

My Favourite GORGEOUS Guard and his equally GORGEOUS Horse 🐎! He looks like he's going to sleep bless him! 💝💝

Beautiful as always.

Oh my goodness I am in tears, for what this kindest of young men did for the older generations couple and the other single obviousdly ex forces personelle. taking time to acknowledge him.

The girl in the beginning is in need of a kick in the butt. Thumbs up and peace signs are disrespectful enough but that is sickening. The older gentleman obviously served. I like how the people had respect enough to stand back

Awesome, I just love a beautiful story like this!!!

That a fine looking horse love the markings on his nuzzle❤

An Absolute Respect Of A Veteran .... Well Done To The Guard Showing Respect.

Respect were respect is due. Lovely to see this young troopers reaction to this gentleman. I love the horses reaction.

Loved the interaction with the older guard & younger guard. It was like the horse knew too as he/she was clam and wasn’t trying to nip the gentleman. The way the younger guard saluted the older guard and vice versa was such a lovely thing to see. It doesn’t cost nothing to have manners & respect. People could learn a lot from these two gentlemen 🫡

Great to see the mutual respect Young or old thank you for your service 👍

Looks like the Gentleman is wearing a 'Household Division' tie!

This is the respect of honourable men, one to another. They understand and remember respect is earned, not given freely!

Wonderful!

manners are missing in this time, nobody is respectful, I love this meeting of a veteran and the young guard

Oohh mannn...am I a fan...of some real good old-fashioned manners 🎩

So these cops aren’t paying attention to these other people who are running up to get their selfies! They are telling people to get back behind the barriers, but they couldn’t be bothered to walk over where the horses are and see that people are still running up there to get their selfies, even though they’ve been told to stand back!

I find the ridiculous posing, ( first scene ) which we see more and more, like some class b photoshoot, disrespectful and insulting to these magnificent guards.Who and where do these people think they are?????? The contrast with the smart, honourable former guard and the respect shown by the horse guard is just incredible !

You KNOW the horse has the exact same attitude about the visitors as the guard does.

Lovely moment between an older gentleman and young guard❤

The beauty of this gentleman's respect and the reciprocity of the Royal Guard. ⚜️⚜️

so beautiful , I'm at a loss for words.

Wish I could understand their conversation. You can see the respect they have towards each other.

I have a feeling that the old boy has something to do with the Regiment (Probably the adjutant or someone like that) because as soon as the trooper saw him the sword went to attention and the old boy gave the correct response for someone wearing a Panama hat. He's army and someone ne high up in the Regiment.

The exchange of respect is a welcomed sight. So beautiful to see gentility still exists.

Lovely to see their mutual respect. ❤❤

It was so interesting to watch the movements of the guard from the subtle glance of his eagle eye, he saw that gentleman as soon as he came out of the gate and was ready with his sword in salute with only the slightest head movement. What an amazing display of poise and conduct of respect and position.

this young guard has shown a few times his respect and heart as regards veterans and more than once the disabled etc yet also stands no nonsense from the crowd . well done that man and his ncos as it shows his faith in their allowance of slight bending of the rules stay safe trooper and cheers much for all you do

Wonderful demonstration of custom and heritage. Note to tourists, you don't get to touch the horse 😬

Even though I am from America thanks to all military members for all you do for us.

I’ve watched a lot of these guards… from America, these British soldiers are HOT, everyone is so handsome.. ❤️

I love the respect shown between the old and the young soldiers. I am curious, how did the young guard recognized the gentleman, cause he saluted the gentleman as soon as he saw him. I'm assuming that he is well-known amongst the troops cause I didnt see that he was wear something to indicate that he was a retired Kings Life Guard. I was pleased that no tourists interrupted their chat. Someone else made a comment regarding manners and holding doors open for another person. I live in Canada and I regularly hold doors open for people and most of the time I get a thank you. If I dont hear a thank you I often say loud enough for the person to hear "your welcome", but that usually doesn't change this person's lack of manner. Its the same with the tourists in these videos, someone is taking a picture of another person and someone will walk right up and plant themselves for their picture directly in front of the others. Talk about rude. Sometimes people's actions are just really sad and pathetic. Love watching these videos. 🇨🇦

People have become insufferable these days. You don't have to touch EVERYTHING! And you don't need a damn selfie!

Once folk are moved back one policeman shound be at the double gates and the other 2 should be to the outside of the hoses to stop chancers. That would be more effective and efficient and look more professional than 3 gathered in the middle chattering.

Not that extinct! But yes, very rare! That young soldier is a credit to his unit! I'm equally a rare exception where I believe that manners cost nothing.

Lovely to see the respect both have for each other, the older and young generation of King's Guards, both keeping the miltary tradions alive 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

How wonderful that the old guard come to support the young guard. Years of knowledge and experience are worthy of great respect.

One of the few reasons a guard will have a conversation.

for those wondering, the older gentleman was wearing a Guards tie and band on his panema hat. As soon as the mounted Soldier saw it he came to attention.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your service and also to that beautiful horse and all our military animals ❤

Manners/ showing respect and Smile are all free

So proud of our heritage x

I love seeing how soldiers from different parts of the world who are near the castle show mutual respect with the soldiers of the royal guard, some will think they are ridiculous or something like that but it is quite difficult to be one and be able to earn so much money, it must be a privilege to be a soldier and to be able to serve the highest representation of your country, in this case the English monarchy. I am a Spanish Republican and my ideology should make me hate them but I admire them, especially their patience and discipline.

Lovely interaction between the veteran and the young guard 😊

Beautiful and well behaved horses!

Everything has been said in the comments. I salute the retired and the active 👥🇺🇸

A police officer should be assigned to a guardsman and his horse to help control people around instead of hanging out not paying attention to what is going on i watch these videos and it gets me everytime why bother showing up for work

What a great video of the guard whose Dad showed up in the crowd. The guard had a million watt smile as did his father. A very proud father/son moment. Beautiful !

Propper respect shown, thanks young man.❤

I would love to ask the guard his name and his horse's name. Then thank him for his service for king & country. These two soldiers (meaning horses & riders) are looking battle-ready even in their regalia. God bless them and keep them safe.❤

A fine gentleman with some manners and a sense of mutual respect. Respect is bandied about far too frequently and often confused with common courtesy. Respect is earned. The days of tipping hats (apart from His Majesty at Ascot, which was really rather engaging), opening doors, standing up when a woman enters the room and so on.

Thanks for your service

I'm from the States and I find this so cool the respect shown.

You can be educated but still be ignorant. Money and education cannot buy good manners and common sense.
