Walk about Westminster, big tick tock clock tower that goes bong on the hour. The river near the quay for thee river boats, the Warrior Queen Boudicca statue. Brexit lots still banging their drum. The trees are green, the sky is blue, the 🌞 sun is shining and the the buildings gleam in the sunlight. Thank you for the tour.
What a stunning treat that was to start the video with John! Thank you so much. The clarity of your focus on that magnificent grey was top class. I've never heard such a clear trumpet call. Pity the Guards....mounted and on foot, and the wonderful Mounts have to put up with such foolish hordes. Thank you for a very special session.
Good to see trooper Jeffery from the Blues and Royals, winner of the Princess Elizabeth Cup, i hope that he enjoys his trip abroad, one of his predecessors won a trip to Canada. Many congrats and very well done.
The Troopers name is Ethan Jeffery. He stood out from them all, was my favorite. Congratulations to Trooper Jeffrey a well deserved win. A very handsome man. Great to see him once again as Gatesman. Thank you John: Kiwi
I love the way you politely but firmly corrected the German gentleman and his response was perfect! What a crush!! Only a Brit would complain when the sun shines LOL!! Wish this had been the weather when the Princess Elizabeth Competition was going on - how the yard would have sparkled with the reflection off the Blues and Royals and Lifeguards uniforms!! Crazy day there today!
What a treat! I’ve never seen any horses other than black or very dark brown. Plenty of dapples ridden by police, but not the guard. And the sun absolutely makes him glow!
The gates man is really tall, I didn’t realize. Congratulations to him for winning the Elizabeth Cup! And John, you are right, it is beautiful looking there today!
I just loved the fantastic long guard! Such beautiful trumpet salutes and pageantry. Just a magnificent day with you in the right place at the right time. ❤😊
Good afternoon John. Congratulations to our favourite Trooper for winning the Elizabeth cup. So great to see he is back. It’s great when you can get to the back so we can see all of the troopers and horses. Its awesome to see 😊
What great timing to see the grey and the trumpeter and congrats to the trooper and Monty for winning the Princess Elizabeth Trophy. That was a close call for that child parents should be paying more attention around horses. Aww Q10 just didn’t want to deal with tourists today
Omg that was scary that’s why kids should not sit on that white line parents seem to be oblivious of the dangers a horse can cause and not the horses fault
WOW JOHN ! Beauitful street-bridge-buildings-ELizabeth Tower footage this morning's glorious London Sunshine, Special video caught so much guards-horses-Bugle..and Horsie clip clop antics.....BYE THE WAY...Mr. Q-10 is a " Chic Magnet "...lol...
Great filming today, so much going on to capture ! My favourite thing on a sunny day is the shine on the horses glossy coats, highlighting the work the troopers put in every day ❤️
Good morning!!! First I want to thank you for the videos in which you show the King's Guards with their magnificent horses; We have seen everything, from falls, parades, and others. What I don't like is how badly some tourists behave towards the Guards, especially those who I think are Jews (because of the way they dress). It's good that you show us other places in that beautiful city. I admire each video of how they were rebuilt after the German bombings in WWII. I know they were more than 50 years ago, but there are no traces of destruction. Congratulations
I have not watched complete video yet but will today..I just realized that the guard who stands by the Souvenir kiosk is vulnerable when everyone is watching the changing of the guards..All eyes are forward and no one is watching,protecting the guard on duty behind the crowd ..
My absolutely favourite trooper..so glad to see him!!! Congratulations on his win...truly deserved!!! 🥇🥇🥇🥇 Obviously...that's not including my favourite Blues and Royals N.C.O..CoH Dan and trooper Ormonde!! What a contrast from the other dreary day..wonderful video John, thank you so much!! ❤❤ xxxxx
It was great to see my favorite trooper (Jeffery?) back! Congrats on winning the Elizabeth's Cup Award! *~~~* I think that the horse that almost ran over those kids sitting on the ground, may have reacted partly to that clueless tourist dragging his large, noisy suitcase and running in front of him. Both horses were a little on edge today though. *~~~* I think we all know who won't be getting the 'parent of the year' award! 😒🤦♀ Just stands there as his kids are about to get run over. *~~~* Once again, John, thanks for speaking up for the trooper! People think they're yucking it up with a buddy, when in reality, they are being super disrespectful to a working soldier. *~~~* 56:13 - One of the absolute best at all he does!
Wow! Thank you for the marvelous tour of England. You’re so thorough. Well done. Your narrative is amusing as you get out of the way of traffic. Thank you John from California.
Hi John what a Magnificent video and our Fantastic Blue's and Royals winner he's Blooming Marvellous ❤❤ The kids were very lucky. Thank you John really enjoyed this beautiful scenery of London in the glorious sunshine stay safe ❤❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
13:34 stunning grey, leading out the long guard with regimental standard. Trooper patient man waiting for air noise to die down. The trumpet salute was amazing, and well worth the wait. Well done. 15:12 the Winner 🏆 of Princess Elizabeth Cup. Monty's rider Trooper Jeffery. Congratulations sir.
I love watching your videos. You make it possible for people like me who are too ill and handicaped to ever visit London in real life. Thanks for that!!
I love that you started the video long before getting to the main attraction. I love the horse guards but I also love seeing the London sights. Thanks from a Canadian fan.
What a wonderful interesting video you have shared with us today. Thank you John for making my life so full . This place I visited as a child in the 50 s.....now unable to travel delight in your daily travels.
Anybody else see the Life Guard in back row at dismount, quickly flip to his left and help the other guard with something, either with the horse or equipment. Good job guard, you're a good man. The last rider, (who must be a newbie) going into the stables, was the guard who needed the brothers help.
Thanks for the stroll along Westminster Bridge today. The iconic sights of London set against a clear blue sky was amazing. My friend’s cousin plays in the brass section of an orchestra - he even managed to get a note perfect recognisable tune out of a watering can at a BBQ last year. He says one of the most difficult brass instruments to master is the valveless trumpet - and that’s with both feet planted firmly on the ground and nothing to interrupt breath control. Can you imagine how much more difficult it must be on a horse with one hand holding the trumpet and the other on the reins when a sudden jolt could make holding or reaching a note practically impossible. I think word must have gone round the stables amongst the horses as to how to get themselves the day off. It seems like more and more horses are quitting than there used to be. If they’re getting spooked by the sheer number of people around so early in the season they may have to consider some sort of crowd limitation before the height of summer. The welfare of the horses must come before the whims of tourists. Brilliant example of parenting - a skittish horse is close to trampling his kids sitting on the ground in its path and he just stands there watching. Is there any update on how Vida is doing? I hope his recovery after his op is still on track.
I wonder if adults, parents or not, realized horses are not family pets, they would be as nonchalant. A horse has a 500 psi or power in a bite yet a pit bull has half that. Without sounding like I’m picking on a particular breed would these people tell their kids go pet the pit bull, let’s take pictures with the pit bull, or laugh when their kids clothing is taken into the dogs mouth
❤❤ ooops, Congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏 Trooper and of course Monty🎉🎉 Winners of the Princess Elizabeth Cup🎉🎉❤❤ Bravo Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧⚔️🛡️🐴❤❤👏👏🎉🎉👍👍🥇🏆🎉🎉
Wow you've done it again well done to the guard man who won the cup and if there was a reward for the best videos of the Kings life guards I think you would be in the top 5
Impeccable timing when you arrived with the stunning Horse Guards, and beautiful scenery crossing Westminster Bridge, looks like the perfect day ( except for the tourists)
I'm a new subscriber to your channel, I'm addicted! Your commentary and filming is fab, love your humour, taking the ....... with the tourists 😆 It's also so interesting to learn about the history, the regiments and the beautiful horses ❤ I'm a huge animal lover, beautiful horses....Q10 😍 New fan from Leeds! 🇬🇧
May I just say that I thoroughly enjoyed your walk to the horses. What a beautiful city and a glorious day. The grey's are my favorite horses, especially the dapples.
Its lovely seeing green there 2. When my grandson was 9 we spent 3 days trip when I asked him what he wanted to see, the first thing he said was big ben. Then he said Buckingham palace I thought how sweet but I didn't realised he thought he could go inside big ben tower,( I knew a few years later if you booked you could, his parents a couple years later managed to take him) And poor him when we got to Buckingham castle he asked which door we have to go in, he thought we could go in and have a cup of tea with the queen and prince Philip. We just never thought he would think that, luckily the flag was at half mast so I explained it meant she wasn't at home he was upset but I said she was on royal visits. In the eyes of children he told me they were learning about the queen and her jobs as he put it.
What a treat to be able to see the solo gray for so long. Watching a wonderful discipline trianing. Takes a lot of patience. Good thing kids are fast. Guess i am more used to things because i ran daycare for a year. My son got me used to that. My son was determined to give me heart attack once a day. My daughter at least limited it to about three times a year. They are 21 and 17 so fewer scares now a days. Reaper looking great. But oh that grey jotting inside made me laugh. Tourists could learn a thing of two from him or her.🤣
🇬🇧🇺🇦 Hi John. Interesting day today. That kid was very lucky indeed. Lack of awareness on the parents part. Trumpeter was superb. Congratulations to the guard on winning the Elizabeth cup. Well deserved
I just found your channel- I am overwhelmed how professional you are in every way! I have been spending many hours catching up- love seeing the horses and the pomp and circumstance!!!
💯 brilliant video. Sad to see the horses when they are spooked. But shows the skill of the guards. The rest of your video has made my day. London at its best. What more could you have crammed in. Thank you. C of Hereford England
Absolutely beautiful scenery... I remember those phone boxes in NZ... used to have them around when I was a kid..lol...used to have a light on inside at night...
Quite a mixed bag for part 1! The beginning with the sun on Westminster was absolutely spectacular! I was hoping you’d show more of it, was fantastic! I’ve seen all kinds of pictures but this view was incredible, the sun just made all the intricate architecture pop! That was better than any postcard! Things just kept rolling along with the trumpeters and their beautiful greys, kids almost getting stomped, Q10 having a pout, the Elizabeth Cup winner, the new sign, I’m looking forward to part 2!!!😻🐎❤️
John I wish you could get an interview with the fabulous Elizabeth Cup winner. I remember him from the day they were competing for it and have rewatched those videos several times. You did so good!
Beautiful buildings shame about the people inside it (parliament). Well done John got to see the the trumpeter and the guards coming out for the long guard. beautifully caught. That trumpeter did a wonderful job considering his horse had a right strop on. Lovely arrival of the life guards and another trumpeter playing a lovely tune. So this is trooper Jeffrey, he is very tall! Chain or not they should know not to go in. This is a barracks not a museum this is their work place. Oops! I'm afraid with horses, you have to be prepared to get out of the way quickly! John do you think the new cameras make a noise that the horses thinks is a wasp or fly? I have seen another two horses not happy in the box nobody near them they are just really anxious. The view of the dismount was beautiful, all the horses behaved beautifully. Never seen the trumpeters grey move so fast!
I do too love sounds of horses hooves. John this is Lorraine from NC i had such a hard day today. It finally settled a bit. I tuned into your video and it took my mind off so many issues. You are the best. I just love your videos
John I don’t know how you do this all the time. I couldn’t stand the crowds. You stay so pleasant upbeat and sarky which I love. Nowt better than a good P take 😂😂😂😂
So happy to see my favorite trooper back at horse guards! It’s been a long time! Congrats on his win! Rare to see him as a Gatesmen…he’s always in the box!
Loved today's video. I think the massive change in temperature and sunshine caught some of our beautiful horses out. I wish they could find some way of making the cobbled areas less slippy, my heart stops every time they get spooked. ❤
You are having a grand and fantastic morning along with plenty of exciting content. Thank you for the excellent coverage and commentary. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Vida is still recovering and is not expected to return to service ever. From the latest update from the House Hold Cavalry. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
@jackychamber534 You're welcome. I've been keeping a close eye open for all updates on the horses, Vida and Quaker. Both are recovering well, but not expected to return to active service again. They will likely be retired to their retirement facility. Jenn 💖

I don't think the horse that quit was Q10, I didn't see the white spot on his face which the replacement had and that was Q10. Thanks for the video.
You are right that was indeed a magnificent moment with the trumpeter and his great mount. Thank you for your videos
Walk about Westminster, big tick tock clock tower that goes bong on the hour. The river near the quay for thee river boats, the Warrior Queen Boudicca statue. Brexit lots still banging their drum.

John's commentary about the city as he walks adds so much to the Horse Guards video. I really enjoy it.
Named as the Best Turned - Out Soldier at the Princess Elizabeth Cup validated Trooper Jeffrey as The Blues & Royals Finest. 🏆
Absolutely!!
Well done trooper
And the tallest..Monty was pretty well turned out too. ..
Nothing beats the British pomp and ceremony just magnificent thanks for showing us this John
Oh WOW how lucky is that - the winning trooper AND the wonderful grey and a brilliant trumpet call.
Absolutely fantastic. Well done to both trumpeters. So nice to see Trooper Jeffrey albeit not mounted which is very unusual
What a stunning treat that was to start the video with John! Thank you so much. The clarity of your focus on that magnificent grey was top class. I've never heard such a clear trumpet call.

The Blues & Royals Trumpeter did a Magnificent job.👏
Agreed Charlie. He SMASHED it to perfection!
He certainly did👏🏻🎺
Trumpeters both did a great job.
Is there history behind the taps? How long ago did they play these taps, does anyone know?
How fortunate you are to see the gray and the trumpeter so long, and in the sunshine 😎
Longest I've ever known the grey to remain in the yard!
The Troopers name is Ethan Jeffery. He stood out from them all, was my favorite. Congratulations to Trooper Jeffrey a well deserved win. A very handsome man. Great to see him once again as Gatesman. Thank you John: Kiwi
Please what horse was he on please
@@shaza7657 John said it was Monty, but I was also told it was Shackleton. Hopefully someone knows for sure which trooper horse he was on.
On the day of the judging he was on Monty.
@@AngelusCraft Thank you for clearing that up. I hoped it was Monty
@@shaza7657 It was the horse Monty, John was right.

Yes I agree, absolutely beautiful.
What a gorgeous day. Love your walks. Thank you for sharing
That lovely grey was saying "I am not going out there unless everyone comes with me".❤😊
I just loved the fantastic long guard! Such beautiful trumpet salutes and pageantry. Just a magnificent day with you in the right place at the right time. ❤😊

That white line is not a d… wall or barrier. It’s sheer stupidity to treat it as if it is!
There told ver and over to stand behind white line
Then you hear them say wow..??? They shouldn't be sitting there.i don't think they should allow ppl to be near horse either.
WOW JOHN ! Beauitful street-bridge-buildings-ELizabeth Tower footage this morning's glorious London Sunshine, Special video caught so much guards-horses-Bugle..and Horsie clip clop antics.....BYE THE WAY...Mr. Q-10 is a " Chic Magnet "...lol...
Trooper did a marvellous job of controlling Q10 aww he’s so gorgeous.
I think Q 10 was given some sort of relaxant, just to settle him, it is harmless, helps horses alot ,
I'm not a horse person. But something around his bridle / head just didn't look well enough adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Q10 … bless his heart .. he is too troubled by the deluge of visitors. And I for one cannot blame x
People watching is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you
Their Children , Their Responsibilities for their Own children.
Great filming today, so much going on to capture ! My favourite thing on a sunny day is the shine on the horses glossy coats, highlighting the work the troopers put in every day ❤️

I really love Q10.He is one gorgeous horse❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah we can even feel the warmth he has to feel so good
These buildings are just magnificent. I have to live vicariously through your videos. I would love to visit London and the English countryside.

I do too love sounds of horses hooves. John this is Lorraine from NC i had such a hard day today. It finally settled a bit. I tuned into your video and it took my mind off so many issues. You are the best. I just love your videos
John I don’t know how you do this all the time. I couldn’t stand the crowds. You stay so pleasant upbeat and sarky which I love. Nowt better than a good P take 😂😂😂😂
So happy to see my favorite trooper back at horse guards! It’s been a long time! Congrats on his win! Rare to see him as a Gatesmen…he’s always in the box!
So was it this guard who won the Elizabeth's Cup, what amazing horse won
The trooper was on Monty on the day of judging.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I really do enjoy them my son was in the Blues and Royals.
You always point out the great architecture with great enthusiasm.
I love it when John spotlights the architecture, the light and shadows; and he identifies each building by name. ❤
Loved today's video. I think the massive change in temperature and sunshine caught some of our beautiful horses out. I wish they could find some way of making the cobbled areas less slippy, my heart stops every time they get spooked. ❤
You always go above & beyond to give us excellent content with your videos
You are having a grand and fantastic morning along with plenty of exciting content. Thank you for the excellent coverage and commentary. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Well done...thank you for the narration...touch of British historical traditions...😊
Vida is still recovering and is not expected to return to service ever. From the latest update from the House Hold Cavalry. Your friend, the Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn 💖 🇨🇦
Shame about Vida not returning but it's the best decision for Vida. I'm sure a good home will be found and Vida will have a great retirement. ❤
@@maryholder3795 I expect she'll retire to The Horse Trust with other stablemates .
@@kathellison8084 so do I, they'll look after Vida very well.
Thank you for this update ! 👍
@jackychamber534 You're welcome. I've been keeping a close eye open for all updates on the horses, Vida and Quaker. Both are recovering well, but not expected to return to active service again. They will likely be retired to their retirement facility. Jenn 💖
Loving this, can't stop watching. There goes the decorating 😅
