The kings Troop's uniform is so smart, I enjoy seeing them in the summer.
Yes, I agree totally, amazing uniforms and I look forward to their summer duties also.
This is the Royal Horse Artillery…so very different uniform and unit than normal.
@@JoseMartinez-pl6vb Yes I know I've served.
The rank isn't "Lady Captain" it is Captain. This officer is a soldier. Simple as that
a soldier that weakens the army in combat
She is not a lady captain, she is the Captain, there are no lady gunners, just Gunners
Are these youngsters cadets with the hope or ambition to join the Guards when they have been trained? They look so young to me, almost as though they should still be at school.
@@maureenmiller3029 no, they're soldiers
@@maureenmiller3029they are fully fledged adults, in one of the most prestigious regiments of the British Army.
@@keithygadget381 Whatever else it is, the Gunners are NOT "one of the most prestigious regiments of the British Army" 😂.
@@John-G the Royal Horse Artillery part most certainly are. They don’t accept anyone within their ranks.
I am in my seventies and think it glorious that young girls are now able to see such a marvelous number of women in the ranks in 'peace' time.
Young woman! They’re not girls! 😊
Women have been in the ranks for decades. My mum was an ambulance driver in the same regiment as the queen and I was in the women's Royal Army Corp in the 70,& 80,s. The big change came when women were permitted to bear arms.I think in the 80s.
@@Tinrebel I think you may have misread: "young girls are now able to see". In other words, girls can look at these military women as role models, or envisage such a career as theirs. That wouldn't have been possible a few decades ago.
I am sure that there are woman in millitary ranks at war time too, not only in the UK and USA, but also in many other countries.
Not keen myself.
Beautiful horse and rider 🎉
These ladies look amazing in their uniforms. So professional
It never gets old! Always amazing! Thank you for the video! 🥰❤
Jodi, this is new taken July 8, 2024. Remember I told you I was stopping the Livestream to get this beautiful video in High definition (HD) this will be included in the premiere tonight too. 🥰😍
I so love this program and have huge respect for guards.❤😊😊
There are so many lady Gunners and they all look amazing.
I suspect that service in the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, appeals to "pony girls"!
Amazing for UK-standards you meant.
And so beautiful🏴🇬🇧
@@kennethgarland4712They never deploy operationally, either as a unit or individually. Not a criticism, just an observation.
@John-G I do hope no-one is offended by what was intended as gentle humour! Perhaps I am old enough to remember Thelwell's wonderful (and very popular) cartoons of pony girls.
I get the impression that in modern times riding is not very popular among boys and young men, but still very popular among girls and young women. I moved to Surrey from the West Country 3 years ago, and in trying to find somewhere that would sell a waxed jacket I found that the few shops selling country outdoor clothing were oriented almost exclusively towards young female riders.
You GO GIRLS!!! RESPECT for each and every one of you. How proud your familes are of you. How proud your country is for your service. As an American I am proud of you too.
then show some respect to them.
they are women not girls and some of them have combat experiens
@@peterang6912really?
@@peterang6912No, none of them have "combat experience".
King's Troop are strictly ceremonial / public duties only, and they don't deploy operationally either as a unit or as individuals.
It simply isn't their role.
A very, very few will transfer to 'mainstream' RA but they seldom return to King's Troop afterwards.
The only exception are the officers who are posted in for a two year tour, but in this case she hasn't.
The medals are Jubilee, Coronation or LS medals, not operational medals.
That's not knocking them at all, it's just what they do.
They are women, not girls.
Pride, precision and tradition. How to make a country great. Now if only the politicians had pride and tradition!
Seriously? This is what makes a country great?
Not the NHS, employment, GDP, production, education, ...
@@John-Gin isolation no but this kind of pride, pride in one’s country and in oneself is to be admired don’t you think?
@@gw2891 What has pride in a unit you're not part of got to do with pride in yourself or pride in your country, unless the unit's typical of the country?
Is the quality of the NHS, our schools, our government, etc, etc, on a par with King's Troop's standards of turnout and equestrian ability?
I only wish they were, but I'm not that delusional.
It's like being proud of a suit of clothes because you've kept one button clean, but you've just gone swimming in it in a sewer.
You Brits are so good at pomp and tradition. I truly love it. And you are good fighters too. I mean that. God bless.
Unfortunately the Guards seems to be the (beautyful) rest of GREAT Britian glory. 😊
Ceremonial troops have a war time role which is why the sergeant has two medals.
They are not toy soldiers dressing up for the amusement of tourists.
No they don't and no it's not, and yes they are.
HCMR do, but King's Troop have no such role.
They're Jubilee and Coronation medals, with an LS&GC for some.
Why over-egg the omelette like this?
Aren't they good enough for you as they are?
@@John-GAll British Army units have a wartime role.
@@ffotograffyddSo what's theirs?
They don't have one - nothing wrong with that.
@@John-G Every member of HM Forces has a war role. As a veteran you really should know that. Not all are made public, it doesn’t mean they don’t have one. OSA and all that. 😉
@@ffotograffydd "OSA and all that" - for King's Tp's "war role" 😂😂😂😂😂
Do the horses sign as well?
Those brilliant horses!
It always makes me smile when the Sargent calls stand at ease, then does so last. It reminds me of Jonesy in Dads army.
Who ever gives the word of command has to be at attention when giving it so, immpossible to stand at ease at the same time as troops..
Exactly the point i was about to make.
It's the correct way.
???
The King's Guards are a group of five regiments in the British Army. They are responsible for guarding the Royal Palaces. In London, you can see them outside Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace. While they wear ceremonial uniforms when on duty but
these are soldiers from artillery, tanks battalions and infantry and are all combatants.
Respect for anyone in our armed forces these especially ❤️
The uniforms are Beautiful
Kings Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. My grandfather served with them between the wars and again inWW2. He was adamant that he served in Royal HORSE Artillery, never the artillery.
Snob!!😂😂😂😏
Difficult - King's Troop were only formed in 1946. Maybe he served in RHA as distinct from RA.
My late father too served in the Royal Horse Artillery (later Kings Troop) He was stationed at St John’s Wood in the TA, pre 39 and after 45 as a reservist. I’m not sure what he would now think of all these ladies in his troop? But I know my mother wouldn’t like it ! 😉
@@FrankE.Cromer From what I have heard she would have nothing to worry about.😏
@@FrankE.Cromer Sorry, but I think you're confused. King's Troop didn't exist until 1946, and it was Regular Army, not TA.
The sheer amount of time it takes to get a uniform into such a perfect state is enormous. Take a good look at the shine on those boots. Yes, only spit and polish and lots of hours rubbing with the tip of your finger and re-applying more and more polish can get that finish. Then look at the state of the boots. Well, worn and walked in, not for show only. Very comfortable to walk/march in.
These young people are all soldiers in the British Army. It is a sobering thought that most of the soldiers who fought in the two World Wars were the same ages, and younger than these soldiers. They do look wonderful in their uniforms. They know what their duty is for the country. I pray we never go to war.
We’ve been at war for a large part of the 20th century.
Lovely clear, audible voice…and thorough inspection.
Wow beautiful, I love them 😍🤗
❤ how they rotate during the Summer months.
Beautiful and smart Captain..I,m
watching from Myanmar....
How is your place going on?
Fantastic! Lovely, brilliant, young Guards, Captain and beautiful horses. The King must be very proud of them all; bless them. I certainly am.
Looks like a good leader.
This was good to watch 👍
The amount of time and effort she has put into turning the horse out deserves a mention.
The grooms do that, not the officers!
Lovely to see these young women revelling in their jobs.
Magnificent display of the Kings Troop proving that girls can play their rightful part in our forces.
I wish a series could be filmed on the selection, training, and personal interviews of the women (soldiers). I am in the states and was in the military. Females were not permitted to be in combat arenas until the 80s. Hope that someday I will see them in person after I retire.
Very smart. I feel very privileged to have ridden a couple of their beautiful horses many years ago. Honi soit qui mal y pense.
I Respect for the Guards.
My late grate grandad was in the kings troups
He must have been one of the first as it's only been in existence for less than eighty years.
Well done! In my experience the female officers & NCO’s were far tougher on their own gender than the equivalent male officers/ nco’s. They hated being subjected to a lower or different standard! It was outside influences who suggest otherwise - cheers
Very well done ma'am, very smart.
Very proud to see young ladies in the forces good luck to them.
The Gunners are the cutest bunch of girls ever !😊
I'm sure you mean well, but this is *so* disrespectful. They are women, soldiers who have sworn to defend their country with their lives. Don't let the No. 1 dress uniform mislead you. This is not some Disney production for the amusement of tourists. They guard the official entry to the London home of the King. I'm pretty sure calling them 'cute' to their faces would not win you any friends.
@@katechiconi Don't forget the ribbens and medals they have... and there was some guys in the group as well..
Maybe from an UK POV.
@@katechiconi believes "This is not some Disney production for the amusement of tourists. "
Not? Why don´t do they this behind the doors were they came from?
I’m sure that every single one is more than qualified to control the riot baton that they will also be trained on. I am more than proud of every single, Soldier, ,Sailor, Airman and Royal Marine that serves our great and proud country. I spent 21 years in the Merchant Navy.
I wonder what she tells or ask them...wish I could know...its clearly that the Guards respect her..
Parents especially the Dad must be so proud of the CPT. I know i would
This is the Royal Horse Artillery…so very different uniform and unit than normal.
beautiful and a knee height stamp .....
As a kid I loved "Woolwich at home" at the RA Barracks and especially the displays by the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, this young Captain is hot and at least 50% of these ladies are not of British decent yet "we" are regularly accused of being institutionally racist.
My grandad from the cadre de Saumur and Dragon Calvary during WWI would have love watching that even if all ladies are not perfectly aligned
7/10 are women. Way to go, ladies of the Royal Artillery!
Umm. For years we as English have seen since War years these scenes. Incredible. London is Today is a Tourist City.
British Army, not English Army.
The Sergeant's command voice was spot on (btw the spurs on her stripes means she's a riding instructor). The captain's command voice was merely so-so. Smiling isn't against the regulations but during an inspection it's not recommended.
Makes you proud!
I feel I spend too much time here in London. Every day I get on my iPad and watch the goings on ,I feel I am there in body . If I had my time over ,I would love to join these girls .
Women.
@@ffotograffydd woke , I’m 65 and we still refer to ourselves as girls .
@@Hava744 You might… but these are women serving in HM Forces. Show some respect. And stop calling everything you don’t like “woke”, it’s silly! 😂
@@ffotograffydd it is woke to try and get everyone to see things the way you do . I don’t like the word woman , to me it’s biological. Ladies yes , girls if we are being casual, which I was, I have every respect for these ladies , that’s why I said I would like to join them
@@Hava744 They’re still women though, even if you chose not to call them that. It’s a shame that you feel the need to pander to misogyny, have some self respect.
auf so eine Show kann man gut verzichten.
And why would/should they??? Germany lost that right with Hitler!!!
Uniforms are very flattering for the ladies. And they are just as correct asthe men.
As a former Guardsman, this pains me greatly. Nobody does drill like the guards.
Some do it considerably better.
Tradition. Its not just about how it has always been done. It is also about how it will always be done. The past, the present and the future converging.
I'll agree to that too❤
jolie la capitaine....dommage qu'on ne la vois pas plus souvent...😘
These young women are so smart.
👍 👍
Essas moças são mto adoráveis no seu trabalho parabéns meninas
Being an ex-guardsman. I must point out that the horses were out of step. LOL
Beautifully ladies!
Viva le donne ! ❤
Im also in my 70s yes it's wonderful to see, women r employed to allowing them to do other jobs too🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Heels dear...heals
Me too 😊😊
The Women's Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery
Some really attractive ladies there!
Ok ladies, now get your Bergen and march across East Falkand in sub-zero conditions.
They'd struggle to get across Windsor Great Park in Spring with a Bergan on!
Can only put my input in as a veteran of the United States Army but I believe the British armed forces work in the same manner. Being a ceremonial guard is likely only one assignment these soldiers will have in their military career. In fact they may have other duties in their current assignment as well as guarding. They are not "show" soldiers.
@@Aileen5007You "believe" incorrectly - apart from the officers, it's all they ever do.
Kings Troop has a very high percentage of female Gunners in it, as the girls love working full-time with horses and get the "perk" of living in London. The other "ceremonial" troops are actually active combat troops on rotation, but KB is a purely ceremonial unit.
This is more like Halloween than modern warfare.
Kings Troop Royal Arse Artillery.
*If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all !!
Perfect ❤️🌹🇨🇦🇩🇪
Even the horses stand to attention this is why the Romans called them equinous equals
Love the British ❤️
First time I have seen an all female guard
Their hats are unique ,do they have any meaning !
Can anyone confirm that the Kings Troop RHA are the only purely ceremonial unit within the Household Division, as in they are not regular front line personnel who volunteer for temporary duty with the Troop?
They're not in the Household Division - they're gunners.
@@John-G They were officially reformed in 1946 as the Royal Horse Artillery battery for the Household Division, in 1947 they were renamed The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, they are officially part of the Household Division.
@@mrjockt Wiki, which you've quoted, misunderstood, then added your own interpretation to, has failed you - badly - as has your obvious lack of any military experience or understanding of military terminology.
Being the RHA Battery FOR the Household Division in 1946 did not make them part OF the Household Division.
"For" is the unit the battery supports, just as 29 Cdo Regt RA are the gunner support for 3 Cdo Bde, but they remain part "of" the Royal Artillery, not part of the Royal Marines.
King's Troop are now part of HQ London District, which is responsible among other things for all things ceremonial, along with part of the Household Division (but not all of it) and a dozen or so other units.
HQ London District and HQ Household Division overlap, with the same GOC, but they're not the same thing.
King's Troop are absolutely NOT part of the Household Division, nor have they ever been.
Pity my niece hasn't seen this. Her riding boots are caked in mud and stained and her saddle has never been cleaned and oiled. Different worlds. I know which one I prefer.
A tourist attraction. Strange people those Brithish (but with respect!)
Sorry, but my military training tells me that this young Captain got it wrong. That troop of soldiers were in the "ADVANCED POSITION", therefore the orders should have been "THE FILE WILL MOVE TO THE LEFT - LEFT TURN - FORWARD MARCH - LEFT WHEEL. First command = indication of movement, second command = execution of order/movement,- third command - forward march, followed by directional movement. I was taught by a Grenadier Guards Company Sergeant Major Drill Instructor, and God himself could not have protected me if I got it wrong.
presumably your "military training" was in the Cadets.
Guapa la capitán.
A lot of young girls in the Regiment.
Good to see.
Берите пример с гвардейцев.
Please MoD, find the funds to fix the uniforms of these fine troops. The standard of tailoring is a public disgrace.
good to see an all female guard
Why are they not equal to men in the UK. Here in my country they serve in the same units as men and of course they also parade with the same unit. And not in a segregated group
@@wzukr they doń´t always serve in a separate group
@@wzukrThat troop isn’t segregated, there was one man today but they have other men in the King’s Guard. Just depends on the rota.
There was one guy there and they definitely have other men in the KG.
@@wzukrThey're not in a segregated group. It's nonsense.
Great job ladies very smart & professional, well done! It's a shame that the cop at the beginning with the sunglasses, unkept hair and scruffy beard can't put the same amount of effort in. Standards are not what they use to be.
Hussars.... But they have straight bladed "Pallache" style swords instead of curved sabers. Interesting.
“Lady Captain”… yeah, that’s not a rank… 🙄
Any woman facing a man in combat is at a huge disadvantage disadvantage and makes the unit weaker for what good reason?
The Russians, North Koreans and Chinese must be quaking in their boots at the thought of facing a cavalry troop of young women with swords.
Oh boy, you are really on the money great observation. I mean, girls going into battle in ceremonial garb would be silly. Someone should instruct the British Army.
Politicians are finished history
out of here quick and sharp
DEI wont save you from the slot
This reminds me of Monty Python it is so ridiculous
des nouvelles
No wonder the birth rate is falling. They should be at home raising children
I do find it funny in that, at precisely 7:20, there is not ONE smile visible in the crowd , any one would think they were attending a bloody funeral !
The captain can yell at me all day long
YOUNG TOURISTS? Maybe 10%.
Male/Female? IRRELEVANT!
They are GUARDS! RespeCT
Only female guards 💪
