Boi at 3:05 when the guard nearly fell and those women laughed at them, I actually felt like buying a ticket to London to slap them. Marching is already difficult enough. Plus the Royal Guards have to Stand up Straight in any weather for 10+ hours. Plus there are literally puddles on the ground, so YES it is slippery. Mad Props on not falling on his face like I would have in that situation. He handled it like a boss.
Why is that dumb broad laughing in the first place? He recovered from a slip standing straight up with good posture. It looked he glided forward. That broad would probably fall on her stupid face.

I was here on Christmas Eve years ago. It was absolutely magical. Wonderful concert of Christmas music and all of the very British pomp and ceremony one could wish for. Top of my list of best travel experiences. Brilliant! Extraordinary! Cheers and Merry Christmas to the Queen, her family and our friends in GB!
So I am so glad that you enjoyed your visit to my home city I adore living here and I hope that you will come back and see us real soon."Hugs from London"
@@ianrobertson5798 Thanks! I have been - several times since that Changing of the Guard experience. My sister is handicapped and uses a mobility scooter - we had the most wonderful experience visiting the Queen’s Gallery, then touring The Buck. They let her tootle all around both on her scooter. I was a complete wreck. She’s a wild thing on that scooter. I mean - what could possibly go wrong?!? Right? We actually came face-to-face with the Princess Royal as she was stepping out a door and into her chauffeured car! I didn’t know what else to do, so I, an American, popped a pretty respectable curtesy! She smiled and waved. We still can’t believe that really happened!
I wish people would stop laughing at them,they are highly trained soldiers and there jobs are nothing to laugh at.And people trying to get them to move or smile is just down right childish.
If I ever get to visit England, I will make it a point to march up to a guard, halt in front of him or her, stand at attention and say thank you job well done! Do an about turn and march away again.
@@xxxmancity1894xxx Honestly that does not seem to be healthy. All similar military units have friendly rivalry, though it is supposed to be friendly, mind you.
The amazing thing is that the other half of their life is serving on the front lines as regular infantry, laughing at them slipping on a slippery surface is nothing but disrespectful. Some of them have seen things you can't even imagine and they just stand there getting mocked when on guard duty.

The black puffy hats that the Queen's Guard are wearing are bearskins, they won them off of the French at the Battle of Waterloo in the Napoleonic War and they are an incredible sign of prestige in the military world, no matter what country you're in. I am not sure of the shiny helmets of the red Royal Guard.

in response to an previous comment i believe the second band may be the queen 's personal body guard the " blue's and royals" or the twin regiment "life guards"
+Amelia Violet life guards are cavalry as well as the blues and royals (they're both part of the household cavalry regiment) this group are the band of the household cavalry, minus their horses.
London here They carry out this duty every second day at the same time 11:00hrs If the weather is really bad they cancel it but they put notices on the Palace fences informing tourists that it has been cancelled. The only day it is not carried out is Christmas day.
Those being disrespectful might care to remember the following: 1, if you were stupid or idiotic enough to try and break in OR attack any of the guards, you might find the following happening; you get shot by on e of them- the rifles are carrying live rounds and or you might get bayoneted!! I kid you not! Still want to be disrespectful? Thought not!!
don't get it people going for a hard time cost of living and yet we are paying for their uniforms if the royal family really cared about the people why don't they do something about the cost of living down with the monarchy more money for us

@spitfire Let's laugh when you nearly make an error at your occupation. Are you on display? He didn't even fall. I'd love to see you shovel snow from a driveway without falling. That should be your career, you deadbeat. While everybody watches. Good sense of humor.
Youre taking this seriously, i didnt insult them or call them clowns infact i listen to some british march like birdcage walk and namur march but you obviously take everything seriously. Go outside dude.
I think a lot of people think they are just ceremonial and not “real” soldiers, I saw a comment once that they couldn’t hurt a fly and their guns were just for show, people from other countries don’t realise that they are highly trained soldiers

You are correct there are women guards which is not limited to the band's and in regards to Mr Griffiths you don't even notice them in fact you can't even tell (unless you are "know" military.

@Thomas Gardiner Because most of them are idiot tourists who have no idea that these young men and woman are fully trained members of the British Armed Services.
imagine not respecting one of the longest lasting indigenous european traditions. people like you are so annoying, you don't say this shit about my Maori ancestors but you think its cool to shit all over english culture and their ancestors. nobody regards the queen in that way, nobody thinks shes immortal, its tradition.
i hate how people take the piss out of the queen's guards/ royal grenadier guards, because they also fight against the taliban in afghanistan, have some respect
Being in the armed services of any country is something to be proud off, respect discipline and a unique sense of pride! And I'd be proud standing there and watching this. The bands are excellent, the ta ra ra makes you stand six inches in your collar, proud to have armed services like these.
I love people that think a misstep in slow time is funny (try it yourself with full kit) but what the silly person didn't realise is that soldier did exactly what he is supposed to keep going don't make an issue even when some hyena was laughing at you! these are very professional soldiers that deserve respect so shut your gob and appreciate that level of professionalism. A soldier would appreciate how easily you can get out of step or trip while swinging arms with a weapon shouldered or drawn sword, send him a beer for putting on a show for you or say thank you next day of remembrance.....god people disrespect our service people and veterans makes me angry. IF you want a laugh hyena should have watched us in recruits marching to breakfast you would have seen change steps, trips and such but dont laugh at a professional soldier jerk!!
What is so funny about a Soldier slipping it really funny I get it that sometimes when we see someone slip it is a bit funny but you do know Soldiers boots have a metal plate underneath and when they walk on Cobblestone they will lose their footing and when my dad was in the army he slipped on Cobblestone but he managed to Stop himself from falling to floor
I bet back in the day when this was an actual show of force rather than the ceremony it is today, people got hurt for laughing or heckling...these guys all impress the shit out me, I’m an American.
3:06 I hate when people laugh at events like this, as if it was very easy to march in a coordinated way and with a slippery floor, they lack a lot of judgment and should admire their work as royal guards with respect and pride and not with laughter at almost falling. I also include the minute 4:03 as if coughing was an act that none of those people do, why are they laughing, I do not understand, better be quiet and observe how wonderful the guards are.
My father enlisted in the Grenadier Guards in Nov 1939 & was demobbed in May1946. He was very proud of have been a Guardsman, I used to watch with amusement on the occasions when he met by chance another of his kind also wearing the Brigade of Guards or Regimental ties, which was usually how they knew each other. No matter about differences in age or background, it was like some sort of secret society from which we mere mortals were excluded.
That happened to my father in law, someone came up to him, shook his hand and started going on about the regiment, he's going "what are you on about", and the bloke says "regimental tie" and my father in law goes "this? I got it from M&S!" My, how we laughed...he's the last person you'd expect to have been in the forces. And he wasn't.
The English have more dignity in a simple changing guards ( if there is anything like a simple changing guard ), then the German in a great Zapfenstreich. I say this as a German. Though the Bundeswehr has very good musicians too, the English manage to walk to Mozart and appear as professional soldiers. The only advance the Bundeswehr has to the English army is, that they grew a lot more peacefull after ww2.
The English have enough people proud of their country. Be proud of yours for a change. Perhaps if they were more keen on that than on being peaceful, their ceremonies might be considerably better. As for the Großer Zapfenstreich, the torchlit aspect of the ceremony is beautiful. And no one writes marches better than the Germans. Mozart, after all, was Austrian German…
People really don't understand that although this kind of ceremony is laughable to us, it was as normal as the 6 o'clock news in its day. Tradition shows us how far we've come

God Bless England 🇬🇧 from the United States of America 🇺🇸!!!
What about Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland? You don't wish gods blessings on them?
@@brucemarsico6 especially considering it’s the band of the Irish guards!
@@brucemarsico6 followed by the Scots guards I think
Coldstream*
@@brucemarsico6 I sure do Love Great Britain 🇬🇧 ❤
Do not take the piss out of Her Majestey gaurds. Have some respect.
and if you do take the piss, dont worry, our great NHS system will treat you afterwards :)
i hate how people take the piss out of the queen's guards/ royal grenadier guards, because they also fight against the taliban in afghanistan, have some respect
Being in the armed services of any country is something to be proud off, respect discipline and a unique sense of pride! And I'd be proud standing there and watching this. The bands are excellent, the ta ra ra makes you stand six inches in your collar, proud to have armed services like these.
I love people that think a misstep in slow time is funny (try it yourself with full kit) but what the silly person didn't realise is that soldier did exactly what he is supposed to keep going don't make an issue even when some hyena was laughing at you! these are very professional soldiers that deserve respect so shut your gob and appreciate that level of professionalism. A soldier would appreciate how easily you can get out of step or trip while swinging arms with a weapon shouldered or drawn sword, send him a beer for putting on a show for you or say thank you next day of remembrance.....god people disrespect our service people and veterans makes me angry. IF you want a laugh hyena should have watched us in recruits marching to breakfast you would have seen change steps, trips and such but dont laugh at a professional soldier jerk!!
Laughed and did you get it on video. Silly b!!!h 😡😡😡😡😡
Now days people are like really really strange nice to see an honest bunch of fine young soldiers !
What is so funny about a Soldier slipping it really funny I get it that sometimes when we see someone slip it is a bit funny but you do know Soldiers boots have a metal plate underneath and when they walk on Cobblestone they will lose their footing and when my dad was in the army he slipped on Cobblestone but he managed to Stop himself from falling to floor
I bet back in the day when this was an actual show of force rather than the ceremony it is today, people got hurt for laughing or heckling...these guys all impress the shit out me, I’m an American.
Lord Rupert boy you seem like a fun person to be around...
Lord Rupert I suspect your medication needs adjusting, as your delusional thoughts seem to be getting the better of you.
Spot on!
You can’t fault these soldiers, all of them, they are perfect. Love them every one of them, they make me proud to be English
English? Aren't you proud to be British? You seem to be limiting yourself.....
I don’t think there is an English regiment on parade there bar the band of the Life Guards
So elegant and synchronized these guys hats off #Respect
He was waiting for the signal at the rear, to tell him begin the march.What's creepy about that?
@shighberg how is looking around creepy?
Well soldiers were bout to slip all the time. Glad they managed it. Tough work
3:06 I hate when people laugh at events like this, as if it was very easy to march in a coordinated way and with a slippery floor, they lack a lot of judgment and should admire their work as royal guards with respect and pride and not with laughter at almost falling.
I also include the minute 4:03 as if coughing was an act that none of those people do, why are they laughing, I do not understand, better be quiet and observe how wonderful the guards are.
This just shows how hard it is to march in hobnailed boots I counted 3 slips
Still isnt a reason to laugh at it
They are not doing drama for fun, they are on duty at least me must learn to respect them.
The best drill in the world and they still kick ass on the front line! Fuck me I’m proud to be British! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nice camera work. There is nothing you could have done about those silly civilians.
The marches played: "Figaro", "Washington Greys" and lastly, one of my favourites, "Namur".
My father enlisted in the Grenadier Guards in Nov 1939 & was demobbed in May1946. He was very proud of have been a Guardsman, I used to watch with amusement on the occasions when he met by chance another of his kind also wearing the Brigade of Guards or Regimental ties, which was usually how they knew each other. No matter about differences in age or background, it was like some sort of secret society from which we mere mortals were excluded.
Cool
That happened to my father in law, someone came up to him, shook his hand and started going on about the regiment, he's going "what are you on about", and the bloke says "regimental tie" and my father in law goes "this? I got it from M&S!" My, how we laughed...he's the last person you'd expect to have been in the forces. And he wasn't.
Respect to your Dad
My Dad was in the Royal Dragoons Stationed in Aden Africa.. They had to stop Arab Gun runners. Think it was late 50's..
The English have more dignity in a simple changing guards ( if there is anything like a simple changing guard ), then the German in a great Zapfenstreich. I say this as a German. Though the Bundeswehr has very good musicians too, the English manage to walk to Mozart and appear as professional soldiers. The only advance the Bundeswehr has to the English army is, that they grew a lot more peacefull after ww2.
The English have enough people proud of their country. Be proud of yours for a change.
Perhaps if they were more keen on that than on being peaceful, their ceremonies might be considerably better. As for the Großer Zapfenstreich, the torchlit aspect of the ceremony is beautiful. And no one writes marches better than the Germans. Mozart, after all, was Austrian German…
I have been to London twice from the state's and have missed the changing of the guard each time. I'm determined to see it live
respect
Im a very cheerful person but when i go and saw one of those guys i would shut my mouth up quickly
People really don't understand that although this kind of ceremony is laughable to us, it was as normal as the 6 o'clock news in its day. Tradition shows us how far we've come
