That's a nice surprise for her family to show up made her day with a smile

Also, I've learned to wake up early in any city to get videos and photographs. My favorites are from a very very winter morning in Paris. No one out, no lines for the first tours of Notre Dame.

A proud dad, indeed. Glad to see the signage observed.

You had the pride match today. We had the Orange Walk lol

I heard what you said to your friend, John and I agree with your observations. Especially in regard to people latching on to the success that they have seen others (i.e. you and Buska) have here. The difference between them and you is they are doing it out of greed and to video drama. You , on the other hand, are there out of interest in the subject matter (the horses and the tradition of the military) and to inform. Thank you for that. Your dialogue is always fun and interesting.

Here in the USA we refer to the cut manes as roached manes.

Hey everyone, don't forget to hit the thumbs up....this is the best guard-watch channel. Let's help it grow...🎉🎉❤

Today is Armed Forces day. It's a day when the nation comes together to show support and appreciation for the men and women who defend the country and its interests worldwide.

Thankyou to our Armed Forces past and present We are Proud of you All. 👑🇬🇧💂‍♂️🇬🇧✌🇬🇧🐎🇬🇧💖🇬🇧😄🇬🇧🌹

These female Guards are small but mighty. Like they say, dynamite comes in small packages!! They’re so amazing. ❤❤❤

Brought a proud tear to my eye for the family of that gunner. Just love families who get up,at 5am to come down to the city to let their daughter know how much they love her 👏I hope she achieves all her ambitions but never more proud for them all than right now.❤

I think we should all try to get John to 100K he is the best London Vlogger!!!

Hey parents. Thanks for your sacrifices in supporting your daughter. Greetings from Fremantle Western Australia 🇦🇺

What a lovely surprise to have your dad telling everyone how proud he is of you, not something that happens every day, what a wonderful surprize , God bless you and your family.

My son Retired from US Navy 2 years ago after 22 years

I would love to thank all the men and woman who serve and give their lives to keep everyone safe. They do alot and some people never know how much they go threw just to make sure everyone is safe. I appreciate them so much that words could never explain how much I appreciate them.

What a lovely family. They must be so proud of her. Greetings from West Yorkshire.

As much as I love the other Guards, I look forward to seeing Artillery uniforms. I think their uniforms are awesome.l and horses spectacular

Loved the family surprise! Dad’s sign was priceless. You could tell how proud they were of their daughter. Hope they have a chance to visit. Beautiful day, John. Thanks for your filming and narration…….from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

Great video Mr City Walks thanks very much from the gunners Dad 👍🏻👍🏻

Her family must be very proud of her, and her service to the country.

We have the best Armed Forces in the world, because my son was part of the forces family. Love you son. So proud.

Was lovely to see the smiles and the proud parents with their daughter and her beautiful horse. Great capture John: Kiwi

I am a US civilian who has worked for Dept of Defence contractors for a yr with Army and 3 yrs with the Air Force they fortunately have the same rank system. This US Navy is totally different but I think similar to British navy, I worked in a company with 100 computer engineers and I was the only female. Some of the company guys were perfect idiots and jerks, but every service person was always polite and helpful, so I thought it was the least I could do was to address them properly by their correct rank. One night when my shift ended at 11 pm and I just left the base and was a 1/3 mile down the road. I had a flat tire. For my job I had to wear a suit and nice clothes that you had to send to the cleaners. Just as I put my flashers out and was getting spare tire out of the boot a young Spec 4 came running down the road with rifle and yelling stop. I thought as it was my first week at that Air Base I had done something incorrectly. He said please let me change that tire for you, may I put my rifle on the back seat with the door open. There were 4 guards on duty at the main gate and since he was in sight with his rifle apparently is was ok. I said thank you and we chatted about our home towns while he worked and I slipped in and asked if he would be on duty the next night, Since he had previously checked my ID and saw I had a high security clearance and a high level parking pass he answered yes and explained their shift system which was interesting, I had only asked so I could bake a box of cookies for him and his mates the next night.. Another night I had to fix something at a remote station in a bad part of town. and some local guys on the corner started harassing me, a carload of off duty airmen recognized me and stopped and offered to watch my car, my pass was not valid at this station so I had to park on the street. It only took 10 minutes to change a fuse and run a test program but I was very glad I had always been nice to everyone no matter their rank. Also nice that my whole car was still there. It really does pay to be nice to others.

I loved that exchange with dad and daughter!! That was amazing!!!! He looked so, so proud of his little girl.

Hi John, another great day! Such great interaction with the gunner’s family, appreciate your wonderful attitude with family! Fascinating shots of Big Ben today!

Annapolis, the USNA academy. So training to be officers

Lovely to see her proud parent s I d be proud too nice to see

What a beautiful walk this morning. Thanks John

I'm an American. And, I think your idea is good, and, sensible. I am very interested in the, Culture. And, being, Black... I get excited when I can see, "People of, color" there, working, and, serving their country!❤👏🏽👏🏽❤

Popcorn, Burrito and Mushroom......LOL

These smaller bays seem more calm, friendly. The troopers family was lovely.

John are we allowed to ask your general education, previous type of profession and how many languages you speak? Would love to know not specifics just general. I’m fascinated by your etiquette, grasp of language and kindness. I’m just a Texas grandmother who enjoys your tasteful, entertaining videos. Thank you DD

The huge black horses are gorgeous, and their nippy behavior is fun, but... I absolutely love these small bay horses and their lady riders because they are so sweet and lovely!

So special when guards family visit, the pride on parents and guards faces 😊 ❤️

How lovely you can hear the pride for their daughter in their voices.❤

After such an imposing cavalry black's names like rommel, invader or overlord, here comes food names for these sweeter calmer horses lol popcorn, burrito, mushroom.. perfect for summer vibe

I have never seen these Uniforms on duty at horse guards in I've been watching this channel for over 2 years now. They're very striking just as the Blues and Royals I absolutely love that they're on different horses as well

I fully agree with charging tourists to enter the yard and making those like you, John to be licensed. Not that I don't watch any others, but yours are so much better and educational. I love the commentary. I also am not fond of the ones who only do shorts. I am American but my ancestors are from England and Ireland. You are a national treasure because of your pride in you country, your knowledge, and your total sense of showing proper respect by th tourists and locals alike.❤❤👍

I'm amazed these horses handle box duty so well. They can't be used to folks so close, and petting them, not in their usual line of work.

I agree with you John. People should have to pay to go into the yard and definitely issue only a few license to film. They should start with those like you and Buska who have been there a long time and are proven to be very respectful of the guards and horses. I would gladly pay to see . I think it would definitely curtail most of the problem people.

Thank you for all the info on the Kings Troop. I have learnt so much about HCAV from your videos and love all the information you and a lot of the viewers provide on your channel. Great video today and family of that gunner were just lovely.

Thank you for all your videos John. I don’t get to go out much so I love watching your videos and seeing all the magnificent horses and guards. I live in the uk and have never been to see the horse guards in person so you’re videos are the next best thing. Thank you for all you do xx

@londoncitywalks today is armed forces day here in UK

Thanks again John for a great video! What a wonderful surprise for her! Must be hard to see your family standing there and not being able to jump off the horse and give them a hug. She was so professional and composed, hope she has a wonderful time when she comes off duty 😊 xx

The horse in the non haunted box should be called radar the way his ears are turing independently and never stop turning it reminds me of a radar dish

Those parents must be so so proud ✝️🙏🏼🌹

Sweet glad you caught it she’s a beautiful young lady gunner 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

What a magical day,London looks amazing. Ty for your service 💂‍♂️🐎✨️💖

Your idea of paying is great.cannot understand why they haven't done it .the horses wouldn't be crowded .the money could go to the museum and fixing the place up.

Good morning John Thank you for the walking tour of the city Love the horses and guards Nice that her family came by to see her You have a good day

You recently asked what a horse costs, 5,000 fun for children, to 10,000 euros for a trained horse, without maintenance costs. Then the large one, which I suspect, includes a Frisian horse, because of the blackness and the large size, well that can cost up to 15,000 euros, a thoroughbred can cost up to 50,000 euros. It also costs a lot of money every month to maintain them, plus the vet bill, it is an expensive hobby!!

OMG! Middies from Annapolis, US Naval Academy!!!!

I really enjoyed seeing the uniforms and the two horses have beautifully collared coats. Thank you for showing this today, Jon. 💂‍♀♥

Thank you to all the families who support their troopers! Your sacrifices are not forgotten

LOVED the family visit and dad's sign.

Best of wishes on Armed Forces Day, from ex WRAAC Australia 🇦🇺 🇬🇧

WOW, the horses shrunk!! 😂 Just playing around. But, you don't realize just how big HCAV horses are until you get a comparison. These are pretty horses, but it's a shock after seeing our favorites.

Thank you for filming such a beautiful morning.

Re Japanese flag. I thoroughly enjoyed all the videos I saw of the visit by the Emperor ans Empress. Charming couple, loved her. I looked at several Japanese videos, translated the comments. Chatters were so grateful to the UK for the warm welcome given to their rulers and very impressed with the pomp and ceremony.

Thank you for give us the information about the Guards and Gunners. Also have a wonderful weekend John. One more thing I want to see a picture of you in your pink shorts.

Pink budgie smugglers 😂😂😂. That's just put me off my tea thanks very much !😑 A licence for those filming on a regular basis yes ! So many have jumped on the bandwagon of Horse Guards and post videos with no idea what they are filming and sometimes use despicable titles just to get views ! Unlicensed tour groups are the same . A big Hello to the Gunners family from Yorkshire , perfect timing a long journey I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day 😊. What a glorious morning , thanks John for getting up early for us your viewers xxx

I love it when Parents show up. Enjoy your comments and when you talk to people

The Gunner's hat is a Busby. Tour guides and media photographers should be licenced, having passed an exam. I had a licence to show my art on the streets of Westminster.

I'm not sure why such a large segment of central London has to be shut down for anything other than something very patriotic.

The us navy sailors per their shoulder boards look to be that of mid shipment but I was not able to get all of there shoulder boards, but again thin stripes like that are either mid shipment because they were on an angle .

Good afternoon, John, what a brilliant sunny day in London! It’s fun to see the horses in the box interacting with the horses on the street… they could tell you a lot 😅. Enjoy your weekend!

License would be good plus admission charge would be a great idea!!🌻😎

I saw the gunner boot the Chinese tourist John. It was sneaky and fast. I don't think the tourist knew what happened 😂. I'm nearly sure it was on your channel as I mainly watch your videos.

I think your idea for having a fee, license, whatever you might call it would keep only those serious content creators in the yard. It would be a win win situation for all. And having people pay a nominal fee to enter the yard is only fair, I think. Thanks for today's video. Too bad Horse Guards was closed!

My god I didn’t know the Gurkhas weren’t payed the same as our regular army That’s a damn disgrace. Those brave men deserve to be treat equally. Shameful.

It gives me a happy feeling to watch the troopers get excited when they’re parents show up, my best wishes to all these troopers, I do feel a sort of kinship to them I’m a Vietnam vet USAF 1965-69, I also enjoy your videos and all your comments made during them so stay safe and keep videotaping and I’ll keep watching a friend from Florida USA

Good Morning John! Loved the early walk, and seeing the Navy men passing by! I was once married to a navy man! I love the uniforms on these Troopers! The horses are so much smaller than the Blues and Red! I think that’s a great idea, to charge a fee to enter the yard!

Popcorn is such a great name 😂

39:21 Woman poses with lifted leg. Popcorn says ‘hold my beer’.

Is it Popcorn? or is it (with a northern accent) Popcarn?

Morning John…have a great pride day!!😎🌻🌻

1:48 WOW WOW WOW shot! Thank you John.

Armed Forces Day in UK - 29 June.

Do wish they wouldn’t let them crowd the horses…

USA navy!

My grandfather served with the Royal horse artillery during the 1st world war so many horses killed he said people forgot about that

We are so so proud of all of our military. They are so brave and so loyal. We could learn a lot from them.

goodwill visits often take place between visiting navys. including our own british Royal Navy. On those occasions, the Royal navy at least will be told what to wear ashore. If its an OFFICIAL VISIT its usually best uniform.Also remember, in whitehall is the Ministry of defence.. they might be liaising with them for some reason or on a fact finding your of our other forces, not just the Royal Navy. Perhaps they are visiting parliament or, if naval doctors or medics, they could have visited St. Thomas' hospital. A host of reasons why they are here.

good afternoon john yes its armed forces day and more idiots disrespecting at horse gaurds it's a very good idea john

The horses are gorgeous. Their coats show they are very well cared for.

That was awesome !!, I can't imagine the feeling.... seen your baby daughter on duty, just beautiful.

100% agree with licensing .They should make you the official RU-vid video/documentary maker for Horse Guards! ❤

Great idea John, apart from the money being used to help with upkeep for the buildings and for the Museum, might stop those grifters who sell pictures for their own pockets. They could issue you guys with passes so you would be visible as legal, would also limit the numbers. See what the other regulars think and maybe broach the idea to HCav.

Hi The RHA (Royal Horse Artillery) are based at Woolwich, where the Royal Artillery were originally. They used to be based at St John's Wood.

Большое спасибо за интересные видеоролики.Большой привет из Минска,Республика Беларусь.

What a beautiful day in London. Good morning from Atlanta, Georgia 🇺🇸. Love seeing the sights and your comments being both informative and hilarious. Thank you John for the best on you tube.

There is an event called Fleet Week John when Navy boats from around the world visit different ports. My daughter was visiting New Orleans with a friend about 10+ years ago when it was on. She said it was amazing and New Orleans was in full party mode 😂.

US Navy love them they do a great job we are proud of them, you show such beautiful places thank you

A license is a great idea to reduce the numbers to film and if it makes it easier for you and your friends. Also a great idea to start charging for entrance to the Horse Guards, the money raised could go to a trooper and horse fund. Lovely surprise for her that her family turned up

Wonderful. Lovely chat with parents

Would love to see the view from the ferry .

Cool US Navy

Good afternoon John the idea you are suggesting would be brilliant. If tourist touch the reins and disrespect all guards on duty should be fined on the spot of £20 and above. Be made to pay there and then. Put a few more police out side the gates and give them there fine
