John I'm not sure the horse is Oman, he doesn't match my picture, Oman has 3 stockings and this horse only has 2 on the rear legs and the blaze is different. I have a picture of this horse from February but no name.
@@BlueIsis433 The hoof # is crystal clear and the horse is listed as 'Oman' at Hyde Park Stables. So unless they reused the number with a new horse (highly unlikely), it's definitely Oman.
@@LondonCityWalks Ok so the other horse was misidentifed so I will switch the name, thanks.
G’day, John, and to the other “T” horse. Perhaps starting @ 35:50ish the horse was rating the young ladies who stopped by for a photo, with head nods & hoof strokes.
@LondonCityWalks
Hello John 😊
The tourist we all thought was an idiot was in fact Army Personnel. Saw him go through Archway and into Guardroom. Guess we need to apologise for mistaken identity 🤦🏼♀️Oops 😉
Good morning John and all well watchers. I'm again chiming in from Pennsylvania USA. Today we remember June 6, 1944 (D-Day) and all of the allied troops that stormed Normandy. May we never forget the sacrifice....may we always be grateful for our freedoms.
Have a safe journey John. Love you much ❤
Good morning or should I say afternoon. It's me from over the sea (pond) . Hope everything's going the best it can for you. Two questions. One is do you know the name of the smallest horse in the kings guard and LOL I forgot.the second one. That's me. Oh wait I remember are any of the horses who ran away a few months ago being used in the boxes?
Smallest is possibly the pretty mare from the Lifeguards Pagan with the unusual mottled face . Three of those horses Trojan , Tennyson and Vanquish are probably taking part in the Trooping the Colour after a rest at The Horse Trust . Vida the grey mare and Quaker are recuperating at The Horse Trust at the moment hopefully both will return to duty later on . There's a link to the Army statement in the previous video or you can go to The Horse Trust to see it .
"🙏🏻🇺🇸👍"
those freedoms you speak of are being eroded by our goverments who have convienently forgotton what was fought for.
Mi guardia favorito supo calmar bastante rapido a su caballo, supongo que le transmitio la paz que el tiene siempre, estaba muy atento a su caballo, ese guardia me encanta
Some tourists are so kind and considerate. So nice to see the good in people. Other people I'm sure take an "I'm an idiot pill" when they get up in the morning. Thanks for sharing John and never lose your sense of humor. You bring a needed smile to my face!
I love how the mounted officer tips his hat to the guards as he passed on his horse :)
Shows respect love it
I was at horse guards last week, the horses and guards are even more magnificent than the videos can show
Thanks John another fantastic vid of London, and the Horse Guard, and the beautiful horses. These are the best of TH-cam folks, and it is truly a privilege to be watching what John produces for all of us...
Very kind comments - thank you!
We love you
Tyranny
Tyranny can't take his eyes off you John.❤
Honestly John, you might find the antics of Miss Self Absorbed amusing….personally I found her irritating as hell. This isn’t her personal photoshoot, and she doesn’t have the right to monopolise the space to get her “perfect” picture!! Not ok!
A horse pawing the ground is generally impatience or irritation, tho some horses just do it as a habit. Liked the tiny nod and smile from Omans trooper at the elderly man with the little kid.
I spent my youth around horses. We believed they were loo,ingredients for a drink where scraping the ground. Don't k own if this is the case.
Didn’t bother me.
@@cherylschantz9893thank goodness for that😂
Sorry that was a bit rude of me, but really, just because you are ok with things doesn’t mean it is unreasonable for someone else to feel differently.
@@sylviekinsI’m teach teenagers for a living. It takes a lot to bother me.
Tourists, dont run up to a horse unsettles it. You wouldn't do it to a dog.
Good advice.
They probably do.
Unfortunately we've even had people come up and try to grab dogs leashes.
Some people appear to have NO idea about approaching ANY creature. Gotta say they’d get a bunch of fives if they tried approaching ME like that.
You missed the v sign. A few minutes after you said we haven’t seen the v sign up steps a little girl in pink tshirt, about 3.14 in, and obliges. Love the respect you show to the horses and troopers and the way you educate the miscreants on the role and history of the Guards.
The "V" sign (as far as I know) was starting to be used by the Soldiers at the end of WW2 as a sign of Victory.
Then with all the protest in the U.S.A. around the 60's it's meaning was changed to a Peace Sign. I would love to hear more History on this from anyone. I'm a History Buff. 🙂 ❤️
Churchill in all old videos can be seen using it ,he was the 1st it was his trademark @@debbie4503
The second guard on right seems so nice, he’s always smiling at everyone, such a great guard and there’s another that smiles a lot too, thk he’s known for his smile, he’s amazing too. I’m from USA Tennessee, much respect, love your videos John ❤
Thank you John for another great video. ''As common sense leaves the tourists'' Just love your sarcasm and commentary.
When they see the horse is restless why can’t they respect the trooper!!😡😡😡😎🌻
I wish more people said thank you to the trooper after talking pictures.
Hi John, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your wonderful videos. I was hoping to come and see my old regiment the Kings Troop later. Unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with an incurable heart and lung disease as well as Leukaemia. My days are numbered so it will not be possible to visit London. Thank you once again for the lovely videos of Kings Troop last summer. It bought back so many great memories. All the best Graham
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis Graham . Don't number your days make the most of them, find joy in your great memories with the Kings Troop and all other parts of your life . Look at the beauties of nature , sunrise and set , bird song and the laughter of children , join in its precious . Sending you peace blessings and light xxx
@@kathellison8084 thanks for your lovely words. I’m busy writing a book and getting all my memories down on paper for my grandchildren to read later. I love wildlife and I’m lucky to live backing on to farm fields. We have hares, foxes, barn owls all close by which is great. I have a positive outlook but it’s very difficult trying to just breathe. My memories of being with the Kings Troop will never be forgotten, I had a wonderful time with them.
😊@@grahamallen3941
Those memories will be a legacy to your grandchildren because they will never forget their loving grandfather who wrote his stories for them . What a great place to live , all the wildlife around you . I'm on the coast so mainly seagulls , though I do have a magpie who does guard duty along my wall 😀, and some very noisy and nosy crows 😀. Keep writing knowing when you move on to your next big adventure you still live on xxx
Those Troopers have nerves of steel. They could be severely injured if thrown on pavement or near or in the box. In awe...
The trooper on Oman had a good laugh at 54 minutes in
Does anyone else wish they were there and to those tourists touching the horse, go over to them and put your hand on them and take a picture or is it just me? I'm sure the horses don't enjoy having strangers touching them.
Best comment ever ! ! !
I agree.
For the newbies to the channel wondering about the hit on dismount that some troopers do if you notice the place they hit is the saddle it's so the horse knows that a shift in weight is going to happen so the horse doesn't spook
One young lady in a black t shirt at 43. seconds made up for no V signs in Part 1 all on her own ! 7 V signs and 5 thumbs up 😂😂😂. The boys in school uniforms by the chitsman doing their " hard man" poses looked about as hard as a packet of marshmallows 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
John Did you see the family who got yelled at a few times? Have a great day John.
Sadly there are no manner with today's youth. They think they are too entitled and have no understanding of what the cost was for the 'freedoms' (the lives paid) they are afforded these days. Same here in Canada, sadly.
Same in the U.S. I'm sorry to say
@@debbie4503 same in UK.
John it is so nice to have you I love looking at you l hope you never stop I am a 78years old and have COPD SO I am home a lot and it is to have you explaining everything I just truly enjoy it. Thank you so much. My name is Carol and I’m from California.
I have never seen John! What video is he in?
Why are tourists so rude as to stand there when the troopers are checking the horses.
They are oblivious.
John when will the Royal Artillery be arriving? Those ladies don't take any crap..
Hello Tyranny, John and all. Great day to be viewing the Guards. 🎉
When tryanny wiggles his tongue at people it’s like he’s saying nananana I can bite you
Stay safe in Paris John and have a great time. Will miss your videos.
Will be great to see king's troop on duty , some of the lady troopers are so gorgeous 😍🥰
(That's it work it) you are so funny.
Hi John love your videos, they always make me laugh. I love the commentary that you do.
Horses will paw the ground when they're impatient, when you're asking them to stand still beyond their attention span. You'll see this most frequently with young horses, who don't understand why you keep them standing around when they want to go,
Is that also when they stamp just one front foot on the ground? I thought they were imitating the Guards with the 1 stamp. 🙂
@@debbie4503 They’re usually not copying people but expressing frustration, anger, extra energy etc. Compare them to a hyperactive teenager, trying to exercise some part of their body while most of the body must sit still!
Except in this case, they are much bigger than you and could kill or maim you, if they wanted to or even accidentally. Watch the horses ears, mouth and feet. Some of them play with their bit like a fidget toy spinning in their mouth. But if their ears are back and they are stomping their feet, stay out of their way and don’t try to touch them.
Hi Tyranny. Rardens twin. I saw Rarden coming in with the life guards too. Oman is a stunner. I have not seen him before 😊. Thank you for spelling it.
Thank you John, another hour spent watching your video and listening to you comments. Public never ceases to amazing me, such fun to watch : KIwi
hello John, have a great day watch out for the crazy people❤
You missed several Victory hand signs. I don’t have a problem with it as I grew up in the 60s.
I love Tyrany. ❤️
Thank you john for your enjoyable videos ❤
Hello Tyranny and John been looking forward to part 2 .❤
The police horse was rocking a punk rock white and grey tail. So pretty
Pawing the ground is a distress signal, John, anxiety, distress, nervousness, irritation,
frustration, boredom....
As is flapping the lower lip while under saddle.
These are both pieces of useful advice. Thank you for sharing. I do not know horses well. Now I have this information to help navigate an encounter with a live creature. Thanks
22:37 Oman when his lower lip moved it looks as if he muttering about the situation in front of his box, the people the noise they make.
He looks fed up, maybe Oman needs to chat about Touron handling with Tryanny or Arnie.
About the guy who shoved by people to get a picture with the trooper, when I visited my daughter in Seoul, she told me to crush onto the subway car because otherwise I wouldn't get on. There are so many people in such a small country that the space bubble and politeness I was used to didn't happen there. I have a feeling it might be the same all over Asia, so he wouldn't think his actions were wrong. It was difficult to overcome my early training, but my daughter was 100% accurate.
That policeman tipped his hat at you John. He's got your measure.!!
Thanks John you are so educating me on British guards...love it!! Hope l can visit one day.. thankyou for your chanel.. Helen Perth .. western Australia
These videos are my go to place when I feel stressed or fed up with the day. I come here to listen to your commentary and see these magnificent horses, and to see the stupidity of some people.
Every time you tell someone to be respectful I am cheering you on John so thank you for these videos.
Greetings from sunny Brisbane, Queensland, Australia❤️
Why do the guards hit the horses twice before the dismount
How about going to the Norfolk beaches when the horses are there.x
Would love to see some video from Paris...❤
❤ Dear John just love checking in the horses at Horse Guard Parade with you. I check-in personally everytime I am down in London as I can not ride anymore due to disability. I also love the police horses when I see them out and about. I grew up with working horses.
The tourist and the idoit pills are so true. However the London locals are just as frequently takers of idoit pills. Often I have seen London locals cut through the boxes etc because they frustrated by the tourists blocking their shortcut when I lived in the city. Tour guides and their bright flappy flags, mic systems and failure to prebrief their clients are just as bad. Unfortunately people are so urbanized nowadays and they just don't have experience or knowledge of horses and other large animals. I get to deal with idiot walkers/hikers nowadays in my retirement who upset my cattle when using public footpaths.
Those teachers blocking the kids in the corner was the correct thing to do for health and safety. Damn failure of UK education system for failure to provide respect for UK history and military in the national curriculum. I taught high school in the UK for twenty years. I did 10yrs in Australia and then twenty years teaching teenagers in the UK. Pity not many large groups or parents seem to apply this thing called common sense. But then common sense is a rare, very rare thing.
I get so so peeved at the disrespect to the military personnel (human and horse) as I come from a very big military family and my late husband also served. I have children, nieces and nephews who are current military personnel (UK/Australia/NZ/Canada in all services).
We have one WW2 military veteran still with us in my family - Australian Air Force she was a WAAAF the first Australian branch to have female members due to the shortage of male personnel in 1941. They didn't even get to be known as a royal military service initially. The WRAAF was established in 1950. She transferred from WAAAF to WRAAF. To finish out her 25 years of military service. My great-aunt was the baby of her 12 siblings. All of her siblings were in active service during WW2 both military and other services❤ like land army. She turned 100 in April and absolutely loved getting her card from the King in Canberra.
Have they stopped the guard's shouting again its not right these tourists take no notice at least for a while they do if the guard shouts.pulling a horses reins is equivalent to pulling on a cars steering wheel,you just wouldn't do that,so let the guard's shout.keep up the good work John.
And Hello from Tennessee USA 👋
Hello from Oklahoma USA
The Kings troop is in for a crazy summer as lifeguards! If common is lacking this early in the summer season I can only imagine the stupidy that is going to arise when the Kings Troop arrive. I feel bad for them in advanced
Thank you John.👍
You always film your videos 📹 very professionally, John. Keep up the good work
It's a new record...I counted 7 "Thank you "in a row by the people on the left of the left box as you look at them. Things are looking up ❤
Hey John....every time you get "distracted" by some dimsdale...
3 more V-signs appear!!! This time at time✌✌✌stamps 25:22-24
Missed bumping into you again on Monday Jun 3. We were there just before they started for the morning and managed to video the start. Cheers mate!! Keep up the GREAT work and commentary!!! See you again we hope.
Hello UK, horses + John from sunny, hot florida❤
Great video John! One question do they clean and repellent spray the boxes they stand in as Horse Flys are dreadful. Thank you for naming the horses and your hilarious comments!
Indeed they do!
Good afternoon, John, my list of “new” horses is getting longer! I hope you enjoyed your sunny day at Horseguards yesterday 😊
Even in the United States, some of us school, kids do not appreciate or understand the history of what happened all they care about is it’s a day out of classes and a day to goof off because we have the battle of Lexington and Concord and the freedom trail and it was extremely interesting to me as a kid And I still go through and I am at all of what happened and I’m now in my almost 70 and it’s still fascinates me what happened so seeing it do your eyes over there what the queen had and maybe they’re not so recent king is sick as he is Had or has right now is quite a history to follow. I’m fascinated by it I love to see what went on over there and how the guards function back then❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼
But it's how they function now too.
No John, that’s a second peace sign of the day earlier in the morning was a little girl. The flash, the peace sign. Now the young man did it. I watch a Videos very closely, because I love your work and commentary of all the horses.❤️🤣❤️🤣
That clippy cloppy is a sign of frustration... and if he decides to strike out he will kick backwards and if he is really upset he will buck and thrust out.
Funny to see that in the beginning the horse (Tyranny?) and his trooper are both almost nodding off😅 Fitting pair😂
Little girl just gave you the peace symbol the two fingers first one for the day😂😂😂
Awe, come on John, the Peace sign is iconic. Why don’t you like it? I’d rather see that than some of the signs people are making. 😊
I “Respect You” but I can’t see why any fingers are produced for a photograph - the 2 finger peace sight especially (but I guess it is better than the 2 fingers the other way around😂) followed closely by pointing with their thumbs. In my childhood pointing with our thumbs was seen as “Extremely Common”..How the World has Changed. ✌️Peace Bro Peace✌️😂😂😂😂
Me too!
At 1.36, a V sign. Also, the French students did double V signs
Ty John for part two xxxx
Thank you John,another great video,Thank you.🇳🇿😍
Another great job John .I enjoy it
Hi John, I thought I saw the impatient man go in after the footguard inspection (end of pt 1)
I liked the grandpa holding his grandson and the guard acknowledging them... "good boy" says his mother. Thanks John. kiwi 😊
Hello friends. Starting my day with John and London. 🎉
Thanks
Wow, very kind of you! Thank you Lesley! ❤️❤️
John, There was a V- sign very early.
Girl on the left.
Hi, you have my fixation with the V sign now John! 😂
John...there were 3 ✌s in part 1...
And 2✌s
so far in part2
They have the patience of a saint!!!🌻😎
36:36; I'm surely not the only one but I just thought at which speed of playback the horse will strike sparks🥴
That is really sad, that your own citizens don’t know; of course, the USA kids know nothing of our history and pretty much no respect sans a few.
I live in the United States and what you said is true. I'm not even sure WW2 is taught in History Classes anymore. Makes me angry, honestly.
John, I think Tyranny has been between Ormand and Arnie too long in the stables. "I learned how to do this..." LOL Orman seems to be upset. I do hope he is okay. Is that woman in red sweats one of the odd ones who roam the streets during the day? We have several here, they used to be only in downtown Nashville, however, over the last couple of years they have begun moving outward. Tell Buska, between the 2 of you, the laughter is very helpful for me and I appreciate it. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely city with us. Stay safe.
Hi John great to see Tyranny and Amon. Stupid people just standing there thinking they are invincible one day it will happen i can feel it in my water 😂 at the end i thought that Chinese woman was trying to put her back out😂😂 Thank you John, Godbless all our Veterans who fought in ww2😔🙏 Stay Safe John ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Always enjoy your videos and try to watch then daily. I love seeing these Gorgeous horses and The Honorable Men & Women who are seated upon them. What I hate seeing is Truly Stupid & Disrespectful tourists!! Will they ever learn to "READ AND CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE WORDS ON THE SIGN" Nope,probably not!
Blessings your way from the USA and Thank you John for sharing your beautiful walks,sights and sounds of your Lovely Country with us everyday! I truly hope to get to visit the UK oneday and would be a big plus to be able to meet you at The Gates! Safe Travels❤🙋♀️👍🕊
Earlier in the week temperatures in London was hitting 21 degrees 70f but now struggling to hit 16 degrees Celsius 60f in this footage
V means Victory. At least from my past/generation it meant that. The "ghost" spooked the horse 😀
Thank u John on wishing me a happy birthday for today great video
Thank you for your viedo. Have a good day.
John, thank you for another entertaining video. Hello from Minnesota. Be well.
This horse;Orman,is having:’a bad day!’Yeah,you’ve got to be careful around these horses!🐎 You just don’t know what the horse’s are going to do?I’d treat them with the greatest respect!🫡You just need to know,here!It is very enjoyable to see them guarding the castle!It’s nice 👍 to see;’a part of London,England!I went there a long,time,ago with my family.We saw the 🎤 musical’Cats’while we were there.(back during the Summer of 1988).I also saw;Gabriel Drake from Gerry Anderson’s;Ufo at the Paledian Theater 🎭 while there,too!
I would love to visit, but with less ppl. What time of the year would be best John? Enjoy watching your videos on TH-cam 😊
I haven’t the faintest idea what the “V” sign means today. Even the youngest tourist use it. I see teens here in the US using the “V” in all their photos. I am of the hippie generation when it meant peace. Is that what it means today? Richard Nixon famously used it for victory.
Japanese niece said it is Bunny Ears ?
I'm curious will we be able to see Monty at Trooping the Colour as his trooper won the best turned out at the Princess Cup. They are supposed to acconpany the King. I wonder if we will recognize them
Hallo John from Austria! Have a great Time! Fantastic Video as always! Very nice Greetings! ☺😎😉
Enjoyed
I know this is a long time since you posted mate... please don't think badly of all Ozzie's because of one Karen... she doesn't represent us. Cheers and thankyou for your content and informative dialogue... the horses are stunning👌👌👌
Thanks, great videos, how to you contain yourself? Great job!!!
u have a V sigh but you were talking! Love your commentary-especially about horses or guards.
Omah was obviously stressed as he constantly flapped his lower lip.
There is such a thing as rubber horseshoes for better traction on stone footing. I wish they would use them. A lot safer.😊
My favorite handsome guard on Omon❤❤❤
I’d laugh if Miss 😊Jamaica got her wig pulled off.
🤣😂🤣
😅
And it looked messy anyway 😅
That’s mean.
Hello Tyranny you are a beauty.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is it just me, or does the horse closest to you in the last change over (box man) have a dappled coat? It was gorgeous!!
