It was pretty clear that they avoided marching into people when they could and only said "Make Way" when there was a large group by the sentry box..very nice vid
The women who saluted was very kind, she knows about those guards and it was very respectful of her to stop in her tracks to salute to these soldiers, I wish all tourists could be like that.
The Officer is wearing the insignia of a Member of the Royal Victorian Order. this was awarded to all those in the Grenadier Bearer Party for the Funeral of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021
Except that disgustingly the Headress us still being made from Bearskin ! When most decent people want the banning of people wearing Fur, these Guards & the Bandmasters still wear Bearskin Headress. Even here and now in 2022, the Ministry Of Defence & the Government have said that they'll continue to use Bearskin instead of Faux Fur !! Why are these Men in the 5 Regiments proud to walk around with Dead Animal Skins On Their Heads ??!! The Queen Also Has Spent Too Many Years Wearing Fur, apparently She only said No to Her Fashion Designers using it on Her Apparel in 2019 !! That Took Her Far Too Long To Say No !! I Wonder About The Rest Of Her Family !!
I served as an honor guard in the US Navy. Just as with USMC, it was a tough job keeping the uniform PERFECT at all times - crackerjacks and that neckerchief. But the dixie cup head cover was the absolute worst. Lucky USMC have the most awesome dress blues.
My gran worked at the castle in the eighties.She was the matron and worked in the little office at 1:20.I used to visit her for free all the time and even stood at that spot in my RAF uniform during a Garter Day service.
I respect your endless patience with the tourists. Christ, what does it take for people to develop a bit of situational awareness? The guards are basically slamming their way forward with their boots, you can hear them from a mile off. Yet the tourists seem oblivious to anything but their own little thoughts. Very cool video! Pace and precision!
When the guards are coming stay out their way and don’t disrespect them these guys work hard also my uncle used to be a guard years ago he’s retired from the army now and even he had to yell at a few people in the past to move but these guards are awesome I think so we’ll done gentlemen keep up the great work you guys do
I love it when the hand that comes into view and hoyks his /her son away from the gate.😁 I love this video. The Guards sure move at a cracking pace. Ivwatched it many x over. The sound of the guards boots is awesome.😂
Imagine the discipline it takes to walk in perfect symmetry like that. I can't imagine the wear and tear it puts on the body to stand for that long without moving though.
Those Guards were absolutely perfect! So in step with each other everything about them arms everything. I have a very high respect for them they were so polite in every way. Loved watching it, had to a few times. Just fascinating to watch my eyes did not come off them for a second. All Guards are incredible but watching those guys reduced me to tears because of the hours and hours of training they must have done to get it that PERFECT. Beautiful guys!
I think that may have been a female guard? I must admit that I’m all for equality however I think that a sentry should be a lot taller than the guard who was there …
If you see those men coming, you go out of your way yourself, intimidating, as it should for soldiers. Been 3 years myself doing my duty, and when they saw us marching, nobody came in our way. And those who tried were bumped or pushed away. Big respects for those men and women. I'm seeing this video more than it's good. I'm still asking why that woman, doesn't have backup there? It would be great that out of the Guard, gate would come 4 or 5 older Guards to should these unrespectful teenagers away. Adrenaline for sure hehe.
@@Windsorguards I have a hearing loss from military service and I can hear them "march" as well. It's the tourists who are too damn loud .... and too many are disrespectful of the Royal Guards. You rarely see them cross the line with the Guards in Norway, Denmark, the Vatican, the Quirinale in Rome (the Presidential Palace), American Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and similar places because the "conduct" will be addressed, up to and including arrest. The UK is too nice. I saw a video recently of a tourist who purposely blocked a dismounted Horse Guard and stood there mocking the guard, who walked around him. And SO19 (armed police) didn't do a thing.
I’m so happy I came across your channel. You do wonderful work, very impressive. The scenery and all of those beautiful old buildings and all of that tradition with the Guards and all. Simply stunning to watch.😊
He is an officer. They wear taller and fuller bearskins for easier distinction on the battlefield when this was still everyday dress(1815 onwards when they adopted the wearing of bearskins)
@@stewartbristow846 thank you for the reply. I was aware that he was an officer and the hat is a bearskin. However, I didn’t know when they started wearing them. I have watched the video a couple of times, what got to me was the perfect precision of the marching for a long time through lots of tourists, the noise of their shoes on the pavement and the stillness and size of the headgear. Very professional. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ps I think that this is a great video. I enjoyed it a lot.
One of the great videos. Note that the officers will move around unaware tourists. I think the soldier is told to be more strict when it comes to the public surrounding him. I love the subtlety in the orders. This is a free country, protected by highly trained professionals.
God bless us start and end your day with our ALMIGHTY GOD. THANK you so much and regards to all of you there in your country. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines
For those asking about the height of the guard, please remember there are no basic height rules to be a guard. Some guards are as short as 5ft 6, some are way taller. In their job application, only your physical fitness is a necessary requirement.
Die Queen Guards sind die besten der Welt!! wenn sie shufflen, das sieht so niedlich aus. Da könnt ich Stunden lang zu schauen. Sie haben den höchsten respekt verdient 🍀💖🙏
I heard in another video that the Queen's Guards had to be over 6 feet tall, at least 6 feet 2 inchiesta tall (if memory serves me right). It looks like the guard at the post is quite a bit shorter than that.
Not true for the Guards in its entirety. However, some companies in their respective battalions do have a preference for 6’ and over, The Queens Company of the Grenadier’s being one example.
Can you pls pin?

Perhaps officers have more leeway in that matter than the lower ranking guards.

Exactly my thoughts! Many people absolutely notice nothing! And no, the Guard is not there to amuse tourists!
"Your endless patience?" The guy recording isn't a guard lol.
They never miss a step. I think they're fabulous
I love the sound of the shoes because they ARENT HIGH HEELS!! THEY ARE SO PERFECT the movements, the clothes.

It’s weird how they come off as serious, intimidating, and funny, all at the same time.

They are allowed to wiggle their toes to try and prevent a syncope(fainting).

You don't seem to be aware that the Guards are not civilians in fancy dress, but serving professional soldiers.
Ex service man here that's the smallest guardsman I have ever seen they must be recruiting straight from nursery .😅
That guard has breast and big butt, I think it's a female. Don't ask me why they are doing that now, I guess even the British are going woke p.c.
I think that may have been a female guard?
I must admit that I’m all for equality however I think that a sentry should be a lot taller than the guard who was there …
It's not the size of the Guard in the fight that counts, it's the size of the fight in the Guard.
The small mumur from the officer of "Standby, quick, march." was how they talk to eachother without most people noticing.
If you see those men coming, you go out of your way yourself, intimidating, as it should for soldiers. Been 3 years myself doing my duty, and when they saw us marching, nobody came in our way.

I was and am so impressed and proud of the guards , however the run of the mill civilian/ tourist not so 🇬🇧🥰🐾❤️👍😍

They were more tolerant of the tourists in the way than most. Walked around a few.

Hey
They are in perfect sync.

A lots of people do disrespectful things. But this where the most beautifull 6 minutes i've watched.
I’m surprised the soldiers veered around tourists quite often rather than holding a straight line and bellowing at them!
Reminded me of the 'Southern Comfort advert'.
Time tide and tourists will not stop the Guard or change their path, Love it.
Wonderful 👏😍
And now it will be make way for the king's guard. RIP QE II

So the person who does all the filming, are they in uniform too (minus the bearskin) or in civvies?
You forget how big the castle grounds are. It is quite a walk from the state apartments and the monarch's private residence down to St George's Chapel

Interesting conversation at the end wit the sentry. Couldn't quite catch all of it.

Interesting, I think some tourists there were brazilians, because it sounded like clear portuguese to me
That boy blocking the gate...I think the lack of common sense and proper decorum is what plaques us right now. We are not evolving but DE-volving

so cool
The Royal guards are very smart in their uniform s and March peacefully to the exact finishing area
