King's Guard Act of Kindness to School Children is Priceless 

"Life Guard" and "Blues & Royals" 😊

@@teresabillings8378 many thanks for the precision. Greetings from Spain !

This is someone who loves his job

@@teresabillings8378 Milady knows her Regiments of the Household Division.. rather.

Blues and Royals, Lifeguards.

"regiment's".

THE BEST Teacher, I have SEEN or HEARD here so far! He gave a great description of the King's Horse Guards; I learned so much from it, and I would imagine his class will remember this field trip for many years to come, because of the time this young man took to actually educate the students in the way they should treat and respect these soldiers, and their horses, plus a good bit of their History, in away they could relate to them. This would be the way both verbally, and in their printed brochures; the Commercial Tour Guides on the giant busses full of Tourists should be "coaching" their clients -- it certainly would prevent some of the nonsense and mayhem I have seen since April's videos (when I started watching this Channel).

Yes

@Kingsford Gray regiments/regiment's Always has to be *ONE* pedantic idiot 🙄

YES!!!!😀he made it interesting & easy to understand for the kids (adults too!!!)🤣

Not all tourists are bad

@@arkie_4252 there not all good either,

They are a tourist show though, there isn't any practical reason for then to be standing there like that

​@@bam-skaterYes there is it's in the name King's Guard,if someone tried to attack the palace they would be the first line of defence.

@@annkynaston3605 With swords?

I knew James Blunt was a veteran; thought he was in the Guards.

Got more respect for the binmen

Since when the army have public relation departement ?

More like public liaison office? Any organisation needs some sort of relationship with the public.

@@chafouaube985 she did say, “if,”

Yea even if she said “if” I think it would be rather odd if any branch of the armed services had a public relations department

@@chafouaube985 Didn’t you read my comment properly? Maybe you don’t understand the meaning of the word “if”. I didn’t say or imply that the army have a public relations department. “If there is one” does not mean that I said, thought or implied that there definitely is a public relations department.

what did he say

@@lucille.007 i have no idea what he said.

Why isn't it respectful? Have you forgotten that this is a working Palace and not a Classroom. I'm really lost about not respectful,to whom 🤦😂

@@alanedwards7496 so you think it is respectful to sit on the floor like that where the Guards are working? Tourists seem to be taking the piss of the fact that the Guards are working and on duty. I was not amused.

@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 NO I do not think it's respectful at all,that's my point they shouldn't be there. But I've no doubt whatsoever they were cleared to be there by the powers that be,otherwise they wouldn't have been allowed to "sit" as they were.

I comment as a former vice principal/deputy head teacher, their teachers probably told them to sit and rest. It was probably a long day of walking. The school children were not tourists but on an educational visit. The soldier had probably been briefed in readiness for the visit, hence his answering their questions. The staff, a good staff/student ratio, were in control.

​@@alanedwards7496Not just cleared but expected and the soldier briefed and ready to take questions, otherwise he would have been on a charge 😊

He was once asked if he ever shot anyone and replied: "God no! I simply said to one of my men, TROOPER SHOOT THAT MAN!"

I thought the were fined and the money taken from their pay, if they smiled on interacted with the public, while on duty. Glad things have changed. The soldiers and their horses are very relaxed while dealing with all the noise and people.

I can remember that too. When I was younger (I'm 55 now) and we used to go to London, the Guards wasn't allowed to speak or interact with the public. We all kept well away from them too and no one dared to stroke the horse or get up too close.

At least he talks sense…just a shame some of the comments are so banal!

Geli, the horse wasn't asleep, he was just meditating😊. 🇬🇧💕🐎🌫️🐎🌫️💕🇬🇧

Well, come on then, give us the timestamps.
