That woman who walked through the box has absolutely no common sense - totally in her own disrespectful world. To do something so ridiculous and unsafe is beyond belief.

I like the narration and knowing the horses names. It adds depth to the whole experience.

I thoroughly enjoy Your commentary. You tell us exactly what is going on, where others say nothing and we have to figure it out as the video goes on. You are a well of information and I,myself, appreciate it. I’m from the USA and I know nothing about the Changing of the Guard, difference in Regiments or other factors of the Military. Thank You for sharing and explaining everything to Everyone watching! ❤❤😊

I absolutely love your commentary. There are so many channels just capturing bad situations for likes.

You're always so full of information that you're willing to share, thank you so much. I always learn a lot from your videos and I'm working on watching all of them.

Your narration gives us a much better understanding of what is happening. Thank you.

I'm a fan of Ormonde, he is brilliant at keeping the idiots away, and he doesn't discrimnate, he hates everyone equally. Love him.

“Lobotomy” I’m dying. 🤣🤣🤣 I think it’s a prerequisite for tourist.

Thank you for sharing the changing of the guards, especially the change over. Bless you ❤

I like this channel. You describe the scene. Thank you.

37 interesting minutes have been flying away. All your videos are so enjoyable. I'am not english but your voice is so easy to understand....thank you

My favorite lifeguard in the left box..good to see him again…he is getting ready to be relieved by a Blues and Royals…people are still stupid cutting through the box. Still shocking to see. A gate wide open must not be enough area for that ridiculous women … no crowd around either. 🙄

Thank you sharing such an informative & wonderful video of the process since I am not from the UK but have always found many things about it to be rich in history & unique. Your commentary was very interesting and thorough. The guards are so well organized & even that one chap getting his boot stuck in the stirrup was prompt to work it loose & get in line.

Thank you so much for the commentary. It was so interesting and answered some of my questions. Love watching the handsome guards and the magnificent horses.

Great show today, and thanks so much for the informative commentary! I saw a woman early on enter next to the Life Guard then walk to the rear of the box and lean over to look in. I wonder what she thought...yep..that's a horse bum. That one was watching you too while you were hiving us a nice commentary. Surprised me the teacher didn't ask the Life Guard if it was safe for the child to pet the horse. Lucky it wasn't Ormonde. Bit of cool info about the guard's requirement to remain stoic. They are allowed to smile when interacting with children. I thought that was cool. Those Life Guards and their horses leaving were absolutely magnificent.

I love your colorful commentary 😅 it always helps give us a better idea of what's going on. Keep talking😊

Thanks for the commentary. Much better than just silently watching a stream of ignorant tourists striking ridiculous poses for the camera. She was really smart to walk up behind a horse wasn’t she? Was walking through the gate just a short distance away too complicated for her? She’s lucky she wasn’t kicked back into the yard by a couple of powerful back legs with iron shod hooves attached. Some people really shouldn’t be allowed out without the supervision of a responsible adult. I think I spotted Ormonde during the change over with that distinctive blaze which looks like a bunched fist with the thumb sticking out to the the horse’s right and what looks like a “dribble” coming from under the nose band on the left plus the three white socks. That should be fun eventually when it’s Ormonde’s turn to do a stint in the box watching some tourists collecting horsey teeth marks as one of their souvenirs of London. Not fun for them maybe but it might teach them to have more respect for a 17hh almost 1000kg horse when he makes it very clear they’re invading his space. Some might try a polite head butt first but Ormonde tends to go straight to the more assertive action. But when the ears go back and the head starts nodding they ignore those obvious signs of irritation at their peril.

Thank you for this wonderful video I thourghly enjoyed it, I could watch all day with you explaining the guards duties your a very good speaker 🐴💂‍♂️🐴

I'm a Londoner. Love listening to you. Makes me homesick. Wishing you well.

Lobotomy! Loved it! I'm disappointed she didn't get kicked.

Love your videos, you explain so much, thank you.😊

I have subscribed to you because it was so very pleasant listening to you, also you made it interesting and educational, thank you for the wonderful commentary x

It would have been funny if the horse decided that it needed to relieve itself

Your videos are so much better when you do the voice over! And I love that you talk to the people that are in front of the camera. You are asking them exactly what we are screaming at our screens! Keep up the good work!

The majority, if not all of these horses will be geldings, as mares can be temperamental, ( Hence referring to someone as being mare-ish)! And they use Irish Draught or Irish Draught crosses, They are known to be a reasonably calm breed, taking things in their stride and have to be, as they call it "up to weight", large horses to take the weight of a Trooper with their regimental kit. (Can you imagine if they used thoroughbred horses?! 😂) Btw, the average Irish Draught horse weighs in at between 1300 and 1500 pounds...so, an even bigger kick!

OMG! Too bad she didn't slip on the 🐎 💩! now that's... What i would call a perfect video! 😂👍

This is the first time I've witnessed a complete change over very interesting THANK YOU 🤗👍

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing videos of London. As for the lady with the bags, I'm surprised that she didn't get caught by the Life Guard as she sneaking her way behind the horse. She put herself at risk and also the horse and guard. This is pretty cool to watch and the horses are beautiful. Just a question, how long does King's Guard stay in the box? Do they get to have a snack while on duty?

Thanks much for the narration. Makes watching much more interesting. 👍

The horses are happy because of a lack of tourists. 😂😂❤❤

The horses of the Household Cavalry, known as Cavalry Blacks, are a mandatory minimum of 16.2 hands high at the withers (top of the shoulder where the mane begins - that's 66-68 inches or a height of 5 foot 6-8 inches! - officers’ chargers should be at least 17 hands high and preferably completely black with no white markings - this horse at 17.2 hands is 6 foot tall at the withers!! Thank you John for all that you do, both your exceptional videos and your educational and sometimes very amusing commentary! it's as if we are standing there right next to you 🥰

if the cops can't jail/fine these lunatic morons, then shit is going to continue. If people are not held responsbile for bad/illegal behaviour, they will push the boundaries.

Thank you so much for your commentary!

Touron. I like it! Some of these clowns have absolutely NO common sense. Actually, they probably wouldn't know what common sense is,coven if it smacked them in the chops!!!

Love the sound when they go into the tunnel. You don't go through the box. Where is Arnie? Is he ok? I agree with you about the teacher.Thank you for the information. Sometimes can you a video describing the different regiments?

I cannot wait for the day when one of those tourists who decides to walk through the box gets both barrels from a horse. Not that it would help but a sign telling future tourons that it is out of bounds to them might help. If they add that no accountability is held for resulting injuries that might do it.

As a child in the late 60s/ early 70s and living in Belgravia - the beautiful horses and guards used to ride and lead the troop 2 x 2 through my street behind Sloane Square (Chelsea Barracks and Knightsbridge) and I always made sure I was up to wave from my bedroom window - Thank you to all the guards who waved back to that little girl!! and I did go on to have my own 17.5 hand horse!

Damn if only the foot guard had've chosen to check on his colleague to his right first. Churr thanks love your informative narration.

This continuing education reminds me of The Scottish Detectorist. He narrates info about each of his finds in the field. He’s like a historian. He is also a tour guide, so he really knows history. So THANK YOU for answering the questions we don’t need to ask!! ♥️

Love how you explain so much..getting more respect😊

Thank you so much So very interesting with all the information 👌🏼👍

They need to add a new sign “Please use common sense”.

Thank You for the excellent commentary of a day beginning at Horse Guards, even though I have watched thousands of videos of Horse Guards this was excellent to watch and listen to Sir. The inevitability of something happening in a second there is always what I enjoy, that totally oblivious woman walking through the Horse Box was not only dangerous to herself The Guard and The Horse but totally disrespectful. At least you got her face so I do hope she feels like the idiot she was, though I doubt it as she obviously has no manners or sense. Always an adventure there as the massive crowds descend and that is when I truly feel for the Box Guards having to deal with so many crowding the face of the Horse trying to outdo each other petting the face or sides watching the Guards eyes swivel from one side to the other and having to be on constant alert. Ty also for the horses names as I like so many love to know which ones are on duty. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤

Very informative..thankyou

I really love your commentary, perfect 🥰👌🏼

Excellent video just love these hand overs. I wonder why we dont see Trooper Ellis any more do they change Guards around?? haven't seen him in a while. Thank you for your service Godbless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

beautiful horses......ty for taking the video

The woman walking through the box so accurately described by you!!!

I gasped when I saw that. She missed a kick of death.

Thank you for the commentary... good to have. 😊

The doors should be closed after the changing of the horses, these idiots go through if there's no horse there.

Thank you.

It’s a good thing this horse doesn’t feel like biting right now. And it’s not her child!

Love love love your narration!

Thank you very much for you videos the was you explain things for those who are not from England. I love your videos. Some people do not know what personal space and horses are the same.

Thank you for this most interesting video, I didn’t know so much went on behind these walls ❤.

Thanks for the info you give us .

Very informative! Thank you!

Has no one ever seen a horse before?

I'm waiting for the day day that someone really gets hurt through their own stupidity...

A Touron. Perfect😂Great commentary. Very informative.

A British soldier has been decapitated in public within living memory. Despite this we still allow tourists to enjoy these areas of historical interest. All that is asked is that they use their brains and not put themselves or others in danger by doing stupid things like walking through the sentry box.

“He bit me! He bit me! Really hard!” 😳 What a big surprise!! Maybe she’ll learn to read the signs. 😂Guard Horse 1, Tourist 0.

Good evening John, sorry I am always late watching your wonderful videos. Xxxx

I think that you should tell off the people who do wrong. In this case, you had plenty of time to stop her, or at least let the guard know so he could stop her going through.

I haven't seen my favourite Sam Wallace for ages😢 in his khaki uniform whispering to the horses.

I enjoyed this John Ty

It’s unbelievable that woman doing that ❤

It would be lovely if they named the horses if possible. Also I’ve never seen the change over between the two regiments.

I am extremely impressed how those young children are behaving themselves in a public area. The American public school system can learn a lesson from this.

Your channel is the best, your comments are very interesting!

As you were saying about the teachers, children and the horses. A big horse like Monty who is placid is fine but, these teachers could make the mistake of thinking all the horses are all the same when they are not. A note should be sent to all these teachers telling them to refrain from carrying out this senseless act.

Yes a nice guy saying Thank you to the guard ,kudos to him 👏edited .. I thank you John for doing these videos as I really enjoy them,I’m in Australia & don’t travel due to mobility restrictions, so much appreciated 🩵🩵

The mounted guard in navy blue, facing the street at the right side of the gate door, made me think a bit of a (very) young Val Kilmer. I love that no nonsense guard with his booming voice.

What I do like about John and his videos is we all get to know what is happening, plus we feel like we are walking round the area ourselves. There are others who do videos but never do any commentary, making it hard for the people who have never watched a video to know what is happening. So try to watch videos done by John of LondonCityWalks, they are more informative.

Only found these video's recently, most video's in this location have no narration. I like that this one has narration which makes for a better video.

I like your explanation and closed captions.

I LOVE your commentary! And the term Touron is PERFECT! Can I ask, are you callimg the guards in red, "lite" or "life" guards?

It’s surprising that either the police officers or foot guard do not stand both in and out of the courtyard to avoid such dim-witted people do not attempt to walk behind horse & guard. A true miracle that the horse did not react, though I realize they are well-trained.

Headless touron 😂😂

Hello John. We just wanted you to know that your videos are so enjoyable. You are very knowledgeable of the royal military as well as incredibly informant of all aspects of the events to come presented by the royal military. Yes we so agree that some of the Tourists are definitely idiots and can be very disrespectful. It is ashame that these soldiers of all ranks have worked and trained very hard to achieve their careers and have the honour of working for the King and the Common Wealth nations.I am so glad when the solders and officers put people in there place when acting to rude and disrespectful. Please keep up your great work.

Horse is happy no one messing with his mouth and nose.

Dank je voor je duidelijke uitleg over the guards❤❤❤❤

Think she was sleep walking!!!

Very interesting. Thank you. 😊

Thanks

Walking through the box is not only stupid, but Lazy! They literally don’t want to walk that extra couple of feet to the actual gate! It’s also extremely dangerous to walk up behind a horse they could spook and kick out. Just because your at the side doesn’t mean you are safe, they can “cow kick” which means they can kick to the side!

I didn't realize how much i liked ypur commentary until i kust watched a few other channels. They dont talk and all that ypu hear are the tourist's yalking lsughing etc. I found it extremely annoying and boring tbh. You are stuck withe John. I love your channel. It's the best one ive found and i watched manu. Thankyou for all you do for us.

I saw Ormone in the last lot, should have some fun the next few days

Thank you for the explanation much appreciated

How some of these people manage to negotiate a city street without killing themselves is totally beyond me!! You do NOT, EVER, EVER walk up behind a horse you do not know without warning to the horse, particularly when the horse is in a constricted space. She’s lucky she didn’t get her brains booted clear thru her skull. I really hate to think how powerful a double barrel from a horse that size would be(I know it’s hard enough to break a hip tho cos I’ve seen it happen). I’ve been double barrelled by a yearling and it knocked me flat and left me winded on the floor for several minutes, gasping like a landed fish.(just to clarify, I didn’t walk behind him, I was feeding him in the paddock, and he backed round because he thought another horse in a different paddock was after his grub before nailing me lol….ahh the joys of horses)

Appreciate the commentary.

Thanks for explaining the important people.

Looks like they need more foot guards around the horse because the public just isn’t getting it. 😢. Are these war horses (Destriers)? These aren’t your petting zoo type horses. I don’t think many people realize that these are battle horses.😂

Omg she was game stupid move.guards do an amazing job

5 minutes is all I will watch! Marathons like this will always be passed right over!

Monty is huge, one sock and a full blaze

Putting someone else’s child close to the horse!

thank you for the commentary. new subscriber. Would you happen to know the name of the all black horse whose only white marking is a tiny dot on forehead between the eyes. His memorable trait is his penchant for dangling his tongue and being affectionately mouthy.
