Inside Arizona's London Bridge

Best film of them is when they were at Yellowcraig Beach in Scotland in 2023.
I take it that, Tilly and Lilly are each a filly! I couldn’t help, but rhyme. Which I do all the time! LOL
When they buy London Bridge and expect Tower Bridge to arrive. Quite an expensive mistake 😅
The US media were mostly to blame for the story that multi millionaire McCulloch bought the wrong bridge. Journalists and the American public think London Bridge is Tower Bridge so when they saw the bridge they thought he bought the wrong bridge. McCulloch knew exactly what he was buying because he saw it before he bought it, self made millionaires are not that stupid. The money he was going to make from real estate was 5 times he paid for the bridge, I have actually walked across the Bridge in London and in Lake Havasu City... Reply
Using bicarb (baking soda) helps with many burns too!
Never let them change the rails
Isn’t water an enhancer on certain chemicals though ? Like degreaser
Woww i had no idea , didnt america give the new london bridge to England

❤❤❤
My wife made me join the Household Cavalry...I had to learn washing, polishing, hoovering and dusting ! Next I am to learn sewing, baking, ironing and shopping.
Ghastly music ruins a beautiful scene totally
Amazing
💥 The MOST interesting Financial Fact about the London Bridge project is that McCulloch and Wood actually made a huge PROFIT on this entire deal!! The bridge that you see in Arizona is only the exterior shell granite of the original bridge from London. You see in this video that when the bridge was rebuilt, they created an interior concrete core and rebuilt the exterior facade granite only. McCulloch then Sold the remainder of the granite stone to cemeterys for grave headstones and also the small granite memorabilia 'Pieces of the London Bridge' to many tourists, thereby making more money in the total bridge project than the total price he paid! You need to consider the Genius involved in the Highest Priced Antique purchase in History and you still make a profit on that Deal! And that is only the money they made on the Bridge, BEFORE the fortune McCulloch made on selling all the Real Estate of his new tourist destination, Lake Havasu City! You are all learning about one of the greatest modern stories of the creation of a new American city! And the Londoners who believed that gossip story about buying the Tower Bridge have No Clue about what a Great success this crazy dream has become!! McCulloch and Wood were brilliant visionaries!! 😂

Love this❤
Truly wonderful to see ,two great regiments.
I remember going to Lake Havasu for vacations as a kid and my dad would take us to the London Bridge and I always thought it was so random to have in Arizona. My dad could never answer the question of why they put it in Arizona
OMG absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤
They are beautiful!!!❤❤
0:22 oh yah❤️🇬🇧💯 0:34
saw this completely by chance one year , it was a magnificent sight especially when it started to thunder and lightening , will never forget that day
Wonder how long the summer camp lasts? Great break for the horses.
Perfect❤
It’s because of the coal industry, when work was short in south Wales the miners would walk up to the Black Country for work, Welsh surnames are common here.
Wonderful
I like to laugh several times a day
Fabulous the guards and horses look like they having fun after putting up with tourists in London they deserve it
Brum isnt black country us black country are known as yam yams
Awesome ❤❤❤😮😮😮😊
😂😂yeh you lot thought you buying tower bridge 😂 easy mistake people even today call tower bridge London Bridge 😂
That was a myth, he meant to buy London bridge.

McCulloch knew exactly what he was buying because he saw it before he bought it, self made millionaires are not that stupid. The money he was going to make from real estate sales around the area was 5 times he paid for the bridge; I have actually walked across the Bridge in London and in Lake Havasu City...
It looks pretty good..I wouldn't risk crossing it
Thousands of people drive across it every day. It is not dangerous at all.
❤❤💖💖💘💘
Nice 😊 ! What fun for all !
❤❤❤❤❤this! We have the Old Guard and all mounted police units across the country which is great but as far as I know our Calvary was disbanded in 1948. I maybe wrong 😊
Obviously as the Household Cavalry protect our Monarch. Wonderful film.
The same Regiments, the Life Guards and Blues & Royals, also operate light armoured tanks on reconnaissance operations.
When I visited England they said some guy bought London Bridge when he thought he was buying Tower Bridge
