G’day, John, lovely weather. Best of luck to the wee ones as they tackle their exams. Re, something left there: in today’s world, unattended packages, strollers like @ 48:52 etc., one has to wonder about the item as being an explosive device. So good to hear from that family about respect/ lack there of at Horse Guards.
You're completely right about taking rude tourists to task. Who would go up to a stranger in the street and behave disrespectfully towards them? Nobody - so why do it to the guards.
John I think you hit a nerve from the ones that complain about you calling out these rude entitled tourists. I find mostly the ones that don't like it are the ones that do stupid stuff and hate being called out on it. Keep it up John, maybe they'll learn something.
The trooping of the colour was spectacular and Prince and Princess of Wales and childrens appearance was a happy event crowds cheering..great shots .🐴🙋👀
Trooping of the Colors and Kings Birthday Prade was spectacular, and was so Happy to see the Beautiful Princess Catherine able to be with her family in the Prade.
Tourists should do research before they visit a country. Then they should respect the country and it's traditions. Keep up the good work of instructing those disrespectful tourists.
I LOVE your commentary on the tourist. I think you’re spot on. I hate disrespectful/rude/arrogant,etc. people. Doesn’t matter where you come from- you should have at least basic manners. God bless from Oxford, Michigan USA 🇺🇸.
When did they relax the facial hair rule? Apart from religious exemptions the rule was always either a clean shave or a moustache. The last time I saw British soldiers with full beards was in photographs from the 1800s. Edit: Well said John. Both you and Buska are appreciated for what you say and do. It looks as if you're becoming a tourist attraction in your own right mate! 😆👍🏻
@@LondonCityWalks Thank you! That is very recent! Maybe we'll begin seeing some of those magnificent beards Victorian soldiers wore. I just hope we don't have to go back to Crimea again....
Good to have you back John , you have no need to explain why you weren't filming it's your choice to do it and share with us your viewers , so thanks for that 😊. Your children and family come first and that's the way it should be . I'm sure they'll do well in their exams with a great dad to help out . There were a few complaints about repeat videos but no one forces them to watch , don't like it , go elsewhere " it is what it is " 😂. I did lose my rag a little over the constant " when was this filmed ? They're in winter coats , " etc Hey I'm over it now 😶. Two of my favourites with the second group Monty and Indiana , and slobbery Yosemite who has his own unique way to keep tourons at bay 😂😂😋 ..See you in part 2 xxx
Please continue educating the stupid tourists, it relieves my frustration with them knowing they have been put in their place. As a wife and mother of a daughter and son in the military I appreciate the respect you have the kings or royal guards.👋🇦🇺
I think the union jack should be kept on the 80th anniversary of d day there was no flags in the main streets of London only pride flags I was disappointed
Well, I knew something was up because of the repeated videos, but that wasn’t a problem I was just hoping you weren’t sick or something happening but kids and family come first but as far as you doing anything different that’s up to you but don’t change too much. I love your commentary, your remarks about the tourist and I find it totally hilarious. Sometimes when you talk about the meat and cheese come get food drives a run through the tunnels it was really I really do love those comments and when you’re not even sure of the horses name your column that name and they shake their head and you’re gone yes, it is him or her. I just love it.😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got confused because I wasn’t even sure they were repeats 😮 I haven’t been on the channel very long. John instantly explained things to me, being the gentleman that he is. Now I know where to look for the date published. I was looking in three wrong place. Well, a girl's gorra learn. So, sorry, John, and sorry, everyone.
Good morning John and fellow watchers! A cheery hello from across the pond. This week, we are going to be hitting the mid nineties. Of course we've been instructed to stay indoors and hydrate. Noticed the river in your video. I live several blocks from the Ohio River here in Western Pennsylvania. Have a wonderful day and stay amazing John. Love you 😘
Hi John lovely to see a smooth part 1 Agree with you and those lovely people you spoke to about treating our Guards with respect the more time people disrespect them or take the P... the more they need to be told. Great to have ya back but i understand what you have to do for your children. Thank you John Stay Safe ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hi John hope your ok .it’s sad about the weather on sat felt sorry for the guards an horses they were soaked it must have taken hours to get their uniforms dry and clean .what about the guards with bearskins must have been very heavy .hope there all ok ❤❤❤❤❤
What a nice way. To start the week. To watch the glorious and magnificent arrival. Of the Royal Troopers and Guard horses. The grey horses are amazing. Congrats! On your channel milestone. Well done! I commend your admiration and resoect. For Horse Guards/The Royal Troopers/Guard horses . I feel the same way. A matk of a good tourist. Is to know where your at Respect the rules. ❤️💂♂️🐴🇬🇧
What a Beautiful Day! Hello John.Glad your back.Hope you had some free time to relax.Love your commentary.Your so kind,funny and love it especially when you get after the bullies and make the comment sacrificial children with the horses.Gets me laughing and really makes my day.
The sky is blue with fluffy clouds. We're on Westminster Bridge overlooking the Thames River with the boat and the lovely the 🛞 London Eye 👁️ wheel thingie. The glorious buildings shining in the sun.

@@LondonCityWalksYou are rising steadily, 49:35 John. It is your commentary that makes this channel so unique. It is very knowledgeable and, oh, so very witty!
Hi John, I absolutely love watching your videos. Sadly I’m disabled now and in a wheelchair but before my accident in 1986 I use to come down to London about every month. I live in Lincoln. I use to walk everywhere or get one of Rover Bus Tickets when you could jump on and off the Red Buses. I use to go to all the Musicals and being in the RAF I stayed in the Union Jack Club in Waterloo. Very handy and cheap, I don’t know if it still is. Thank you for your marvellous work. I adore your commentary! My favourite horse is Ormond. Such a character. What did you think of Trooping the Colour? I thought it was fantastic and a few dancing horses. Then to say it rained would be an understatement! It was marvellous to see HRH The Princess of Wales! Why is Changing the Guard cancelled sometimes? Look after yourself and stay safe! Tricia Kemish from Lincoln, England.
I adore your channel. I just found it last week and have been trying to watch as many videos as I possibly can.😊. I love your commentary as well. I always feel like I am learning something new when I watch. Thank you for sticking up for the guards and horses. I came to London as a 14 year old girl and now at 51 I am remembering why it was my favorite city. America is great but I love everywhere else too!!!! Thanks again.
Yes it was a shame that the rain came down so very heavily on Saturday and didn't Passiondale have an important role to play. Well done to everyone involved I really enjoyed watching it all. Thank you John for all your brilliant videos I love them x x
Oh my word..standards have slipped..look at the signs!!!😧😧😧 CoH Dan would never let that happen!!! Where is he? I miss him!!! 😥😥😥 I saw him at Trooping the Colour each time!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Great video John!!! There are Johns going back in my paternal line for generations!!! Oldest son always John..second son always Thomas Henry. xxxx
Good morning John, I'm here in Texas, and our temperature will be at it's high in the mid to upper 90s degree F. Y'all are in the 20s (C) you said, if I'm not mistaken, it's the 80s (F,) that's a cool spell for us here in Texas. Our Summer temps can reach the lower 100s (F) 105, sometimes reach 110. Of course with the heat index it can reach 120 (I'm not kidding.) I love walking around London with you, and everyone watching. I do hope to visit the UK someday. Now with my husband retired from the US Army, it will be much easier. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Hope you enjoy your lovely sunshine! ❤️
temp is 68F -> 20C*2, -10%, add 32 =-- 40-4+32 =68Fis the mental arithematic way of converting C to F;;;;;;F to C is C-32, deduct 10%, then half:,80 -32 =58, -6=52, half is 25C easy peasy., ......
Thank you, I should know the formula. My husband is a doctor, and in the medical field Celsius is used. The Veterinarian field as well, and I was a Vet Tech. Thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful day.
@@MyriamFergusonAnother Texan here. Yesterday it was 106F which is 41.1 C. I looked it up on Google. (f-32) x 5/9 vC. Besides forgetting it in fifteen minutes, it requires too much thinking
only 200 subscribers more to 70 000 ! Come on, people, subscribe to this great channel from London! 👍🍀 . You know, you can visit London, Big Ben, the long Bridge and of course the Horse Guards daily, and that even without a trainticket, long travels, beeing in a warm/hot/full train or airplane and no need to walk on on London streets with hundred and thousands of people, 😯 (so without having some panic attacs from that) and all the noise and so on. 👍 🙋♀️ And you have a lot of nice, friendly, interesting explanations.
Welcome back John. I didn’t realize how much I would miss this channel until I hadn’t seen it and was watching something else for more than a day or two, lol. And there’s a difference between people making an honest mistake (like maybe going into the arch where there is no chain, but there’s a chain on the sides), vs people being intentionally disrespectful like mocking the guards, touching them/their equipment, grabbing the horses’ reins, etc. I think you’re quite fair in your criticisms. If I ever do get to London in my lifetime, I’ll be glad to have watched your channel! 😊. Thank you.
in 1959, the ladies of the evening used to display their wares along Bayswater Road as it moved away from the Marble Arch. It was really quite entertaining.
I saw the guy leave the pram whilst you were chatting to that nice couple and honestly thought he had left the child there as well. When he returned to the pram when the police arrived I noticed that this was the same family who arrived earlier in the blue car outside the gates.
Hello John from Australia - People who think you are hard on disrespectful tourists would probably act the same way as they do and don't like it when their own actions are in question, I say keep up the good work and call them out as often as is necessary.
Thank you so much for your videos! I've discovered your channel only today and am enjoying the videos. It's so wonderful to see images from England / the UK/ London! And I appreciate all the information you give, it's so valuable. My last time in London was back in the 80s... I'd love to go back one time. Thanks again, all the best for your children's exams and Cheers from Germany!
I got nervous John. At first all i saw was the red bus and you were saying white. Lol. I was worried about you or me. So nice to see your fans coming up to you. How sweet that must be.
Oh nice weather today tho. Good luck to your kids with exams too….I’m not so old that I don’t remember sitting exams……*shudder* Real Life goes on John, and sometimes it takes priority, necessarily so, and anyone that doesn’t understand that is living in La La land. Lovely colours on the bridge today…..wasn’t that lady’s pink patterned sari gorgeous? So pretty. Any yeah, horses are creatures of habit. Any change to their usual routine (like coming into the parade ground a different way)can make them a bit “toey” K so LifeGuard on the left is Revolver I think but I’m not sure about the other one, but as far as the Blues go, great to see Yosemite again. He’s such a dribbler 🤣😊 Oh and is the other one Northumberland? Nice to meet another couple of fans and you’re quite correct, these oiks wouldn’t like it if it was their kids being publically dissed nor if it were them. Do as you would be done by and if you don’t you should expect to be called out for it!
Maybe after the builder incident horses are suspicious of saber toothed scaffolding? Would they be building more seats for the besting the retreat ect? Or have workman decided to dig a large hole 🕳️ in military season? That sounds about right. 😕😉😃
G'day there. Once again, thanks John. It would be great if the elderly gentleman, whom I believe you mentioned he is an ex-Trooper, should be given a certificate or something to thank him. 🇦🇺
Maybe it would teach the tourist not to point or hold on to horses head ...if Ormond taught the other horses. Why don't they have a sign on each arch in court yard no going beyond the arch. Goodmorning John
Hi John completely agree with you about pointing out and taking disrespectful tourist’s to task the Kings Guards do an amazing job and they and the horses have to put up with an awful lot, would they like it it we went to there county and did or said something so disrespectful no they wouldn’t, all the guards and the police do an amazing job as do you John love watching your video’s
Hello / bonjour from Québec, Canada ! My 2 thumbs are up 🆙 and merci for the great promenade! Yeah, sometimes I wonder if this nonsensical circus should stop. Here at La Citadelle de Québec, we would close everything .. I mean not close close but put a distance between the Troopers / Guards / horses … and the …hum… tourists. Love your videos, as always bravo pour le magnifique travail !
Well said John about people disrespecting about with the guards i agree with you on calling them out for it im sure people think they are actors like disney or the dungeons and I dont think people realize they are military but I love it when you call the peasants out especially certain groups of them im often shocked how bad people can be living further north most people are more civil of others
Thank you for putting the link in your comment on part 2 where to find part 1 ❤ My dude was definitely the phone box police and doing a great job, very efficient! 😂
Hi John best wishes to your children and hope everything goes well with their exams. I think you’re right in shouting out about the idiot tourists. It’s quiet shocking how some of them behave 🩷🌸
Great video and commentary. Interesting as it is, it’s nice to have a little break from Horseguards too. Wish you’d do a few videos of other parts of London just for a change.
Welcome back John. Enjoyed Trooping of the Colours, except for the rain was a good event. Tried to pick out a few horses not able to except think I saw Pagan. She was at the back. Saw a update that Trojan is coming back to Horse Guards don't know when, just hope he behaves in the box, when looking him up, he's had a few meltdowns lol.
Hi John glad your back .seem such a long time trooping the colour was brilliant but I felt sorry for all the guards after the rain an wind it must of been hell trying to get everything clean an dry especially the bearskins ❤❤ ❤
The officials who collected the "Ladies" calling cards just wanted to take the cards back to the official meeting, where they set about trading them amongst themselves. LOL
I was watching one of your videos talking about "regimental colours vs regimental standard" Standards are Royal, so carried in presence of the Sovereign; Colours are borne by the Sovereign's forces. For example, "The King's company Colour, Royal Standard of the Regiment", is the Company's Colour, but His Majesty The King's Standard in battle or on ceremony (when with his company). So either name is correct There is lots of meaning and symbolism with these flags.

Trooping the Colour
It was fantastic to see The Princess of Wales at Trooping the Colour. God bless her❤
Welcome back, you've been dearly missed
Clone Ormonde BRILLIANT idea 😂😂😂😂
and Arnie!
Tourists should do research before they visit a country. Then they should respect the country and it's traditions. Keep up the good work of instructing those disrespectful tourists.
John! Please don’t ever change!! Let those rude tourists know about themselves!!!
Totally agree
I LOVE your commentary on the tourist. I think you’re spot on. I hate disrespectful/rude/arrogant,etc. people. Doesn’t matter where you come from- you should have at least basic manners. God bless from Oxford, Michigan USA 🇺🇸.
When did they relax the facial hair rule? Apart from religious exemptions the rule was always either a clean shave or a moustache. The last time I saw British soldiers with full beards was in photographs from the 1800s.
Edit: Well said John. Both you and Buska are appreciated for what you say and do. It looks as if you're becoming a tourist attraction in your own right mate! 😆👍🏻
As of 28 March 2024: _'All beards worn by members of the British Army and RAF must be a "full set".'_

in 1959, the ladies of the evening used to display their wares along Bayswater Road as it moved away from the Marble Arch. It was really quite entertaining.
Thank you John for explanation of the repeats. I only watch your channel as much find it informative.
John, the choppers r doing training runs. That is one/part of t route. They fly over my flats as well. Always watch them, when they arrive.😊👍
I saw the guy leave the pram whilst you were chatting to that nice couple and honestly thought he had left the child there as well. When he returned to the pram when the police arrived I noticed that this was the same family who arrived earlier in the blue car outside the gates.
Morning John….I must say Kate looked stunning….when do we get new troops??😎🌻
Hope your children do well 😎🌻
Hello John from Australia - People who think you are hard on disrespectful tourists would probably act the same way as they do and don't like it when their own actions are in question, I say keep up the good work and call them out as often as is necessary.
Thank you so much for your videos!
I've discovered your channel only today and am enjoying the videos. It's so wonderful to see images from England / the UK/ London! And I appreciate all the information you give, it's so valuable.
My last time in London was back in the 80s... I'd love to go back one time.
Thanks again, all the best for your children's exams and
Cheers from Germany!
Thank you and a very warm welcome to the Channel! ❤️❤️
I got nervous John. At first all i saw was the red bus and you were saying white. Lol. I was worried about you or me. So nice to see your fans coming up to you. How sweet that must be.
Oh nice weather today tho. Good luck to your kids with exams too….I’m not so old that I don’t remember sitting exams……*shudder* Real Life goes on John, and sometimes it takes priority, necessarily so, and anyone that doesn’t understand that is living in La La land. Lovely colours on the bridge today…..wasn’t that lady’s pink patterned sari gorgeous? So pretty.
Any yeah, horses are creatures of habit. Any change to their usual routine (like coming into the parade ground a different way)can make them a bit “toey”
K so LifeGuard on the left is Revolver I think but I’m not sure about the other one, but as far as the Blues go, great to see Yosemite again. He’s such a dribbler 🤣😊 Oh and is the other one Northumberland? Nice to meet another couple of fans and you’re quite correct, these oiks wouldn’t like it if it was their kids being publically dissed nor if it were them. Do as you would be done by and if you don’t you should expect to be called out for it!
The color is soo much better. Keep up the good work.
Maybe after the builder incident horses are suspicious of saber toothed scaffolding? Would they be building more seats for the besting the retreat ect? Or have workman decided to dig a large hole 🕳️ in military season? That sounds about right. 😕😉😃
G'day there. Once again, thanks John. It would be great if the elderly gentleman, whom I believe you mentioned he is an ex-Trooper, should be given a certificate or something to thank him. 🇦🇺
Maybe it would teach the tourist not to point or hold on to horses head ...if Ormond taught the other horses. Why don't they have a sign on each arch in court yard no going beyond the arch. Goodmorning John
Glad you’re back John
Hi John, love it when you do the walk-abouts!!!
Was King Ormonde trooping on Saturday John I couldn’t see him on tele xxx
Good morning John hope you have a good day. Barbara (Sleaford Nottinghamshire)
Loved the old videos while you were gone. I played catch-up. A fairly new subscriber. So hadn't seen them. Thanks.❤❤❤
You're not hard on these disrespectful tourists - you're doing a public duty.
I remember walking up downing street no fences or gates
Wishing your children g4ood luck with their exams. I bet you make a great teacher. My daughter is a teacher at a local school
The trees look beautiful around London and over in the park.
Hi John completely agree with you about pointing out and taking disrespectful tourist’s to task the Kings Guards do an amazing job and they and the horses have to put up with an awful lot, would they like it it we went to there county and did or said something so disrespectful no they wouldn’t, all the guards and the police do an amazing job as do you John love watching your video’s
Hello / bonjour from Québec, Canada ! My 2 thumbs are up 🆙 and merci for the great promenade! Yeah, sometimes I wonder if this nonsensical circus should stop. Here at La Citadelle de Québec, we would close everything .. I mean not close close but put a distance between the Troopers / Guards / horses … and the …hum… tourists. Love your videos, as always bravo pour le magnifique travail !
My favourite aircraft, I lived at RAF Odiham which is where some are based and I loved the thundering noise they make especially low level 😊
Well said John about people disrespecting about with the guards i agree with you on calling them out for it im sure people think they are actors like disney or the dungeons and I dont think people realize they are military but I love it when you call the peasants out especially certain groups of them im often shocked how bad people can be living further north most people are more civil of others
Thank you for putting the link in your comment on part 2 where to find part 1 ❤ My dude was definitely the phone box police and doing a great job, very efficient! 😂
Good luck John's children with your exams, do your best, that is all any parent can ask of you.
Thank you John.
My youngest just finished her last exam today 😊
Absolutely mental
Hi John best wishes to your children and hope everything goes well with their exams. I think you’re right in shouting out about the idiot tourists. It’s quiet shocking how some of them behave 🩷🌸
Great video and commentary. Interesting as it is, it’s nice to have a little break from Horseguards too. Wish you’d do a few videos of other parts of London just for a change.
Welcome back John. Enjoyed Trooping of the Colours, except for the rain was a good event. Tried to pick out a few horses not able to except think I saw Pagan. She was at the back. Saw a update that Trojan is coming back to Horse Guards don't know when, just hope he behaves in the box, when looking him up, he's had a few meltdowns lol.
Chinoocks fly past my house quite regularly to go to Ballykinlar Army Camp near Newcastle in Northern Ireland xxxxx 25 miles away xxxxxx
Hi John glad your back .seem such a long time trooping the colour was brilliant but I felt sorry for all the guards after the rain an wind it must of been hell trying to get everything clean an dry especially the bearskins ❤❤ ❤
The officials who collected the "Ladies" calling cards just wanted to take the cards back to the official meeting, where they set about trading them amongst themselves. LOL
Who put up the Beware signs - my OCD kicked in wanting to straighten them I put this comment up before you mentioned the signs lol !
I was watching one of your videos talking about "regimental colours vs regimental standard" Standards are Royal, so carried in presence of the Sovereign; Colours are borne by the Sovereign's forces. For example, "The King's company Colour, Royal Standard of the Regiment", is the Company's Colour, but His Majesty The King's Standard in battle or on ceremony (when with his company). So either name is correct There is lots of meaning and symbolism with these flags.
John, I too watch you instead of news.
Congrats on the imminent 70,000! 😊👍🏼
