The lady that walked past you with her placard was the tango lady. There uses to be an advert about orange tango at the end it says you've been tangoed. 😂
Morning John! So, since the tooth fell inside the box, we’re they able to retrieve it? Did you see it live or as you were working to upload it? Great video!
You are so NOT a meanie!!! People are so weird. You have one of the very best channels on TH-cam!! As with so many others, yours is the only Horse Guard channel I watch. It's your integrity, your down to earth nature, your wonderful humour, your awesome commentary, your knowledge, and how you care for others that makes you the best.
@Ladybassguitarplayer I agree, not a meanie, he simply doesn't suffer fools gladly. Sort of like Ormonde. Only John's bark is more than his bite. He is certainly more patient than I would be. I would be more like Ormonde. 😆
Good morning John! Thank you again for filming with such great integrity, I am here to see the horses, guards and tourists, not tragedy! I only watch you because of the great narration and the respect you show for Horse Guards and sensitivity you show to the troopers❤️
Good morning John 🌅. Considering that the Horse Guards trust and like you, I find it hilarious that the Spammers are jealous. YOU were invited into their barracks. They showed you everything they do for the Horses,etc. Their daily routines. You are the best at videos. Respectful and respected.
John, you’re a great guy trying to keep an accurate historical record of Horse Guards in a respectful manner. We truly appreciate all you do in that endeavor. I only follow and watch your channel. I have no interest in any other channel. In the USA we would say you’re a no nonsense straight talker. Thanks for always updating your followers on serious matters such as troopers ( both human and horse ) well being.
Good morning everyone from Minnesota! When I fell down the rabbit hole of uploads of the horse guards, I am constantly getting many videos recommended. I watched many of them but got really disgusted by so many but never your's. I'm 56 and have always lived life with respect and being passionate towards others. My kids are the same. I only subscribed to your channel. And you actually talk and educate me which I always enjoy. Thanks for your wonderful uploads. I enjoy them so much ❤
I totally believe what you have said. I find it most important that there are guidelines to adhere to. I failed to watch but was aware that the guy who films all the disasters was in action. My sympathy to you trooper and hoping that he and his royal horse are recuperating well. My love to them all 🌺🌺 Thank you for your service 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Your Channel is the only one worth watching. I've said it before; I love your commentaries as you film, you are polite and respectful of everyone, you point out artistic scenes ie. the sun illuminating the archway perfectly or the reflection of the buildings on the wet pavement. You're funny and point out humourous situations, etc. What is my point? YOU ARE GREAT AND YOUR CHANNEL IS THE BEST! God bless you always.❤
For me, it’s simple. I feel good watching your videos. I don’t walk away feeling like I’ve seen something that I shouldn’t have seen. I don’t feel like I’m contributing to anything negative. The content is respectful, as are the majority of the comments.
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, I love how compassionate you are about protecting the guards and doing what’s right. I do not watch other horse guard videos because there is no comparison to yours! Keep doing you!!
I tried a couple of the other ones that popped up, but they were completely boring without John's talking about what is going on, history lessons, insights into the King's Guard, and chats with the people visiting Horse Guards. Never went back to any of them.
I never ever watch any other channel but John's.,His information is correct his respect is outstanding and even if He has to correct Us at times for misunderstanding his methods I get it.LCW is John's channel his to run has he likes. Sorry got bit carried away😂
I have blocked the spammers that do horse guards. You do the best with the knowledge you have on horse guards and I enjoy the walk you give us on your way to horse guards too. I’m glad both horse and trooper are doing well too. I’m enjoying watching your video today on my birthday
Good morning John, i stay on this channel because of honesty and respect. I believe firmly in respecting the military and what their wants are. Thank you for doing that first and formost!! ❤
Good for you John. It's disgraceful that anyone would want to film someone getting hurt, but that's what gets them clicks on social media. Shame on them. You are respectful and considerate, and we appreciate you. I don't watch anyone else, because your interaction with the crowd and your commentary are great! Bravo to the wonderful people cleaning the phone boxes. Cute Frenchies!
I believe you are always respectful John which is why I love your channel. Keep up the good word and ignore the nasty comments, you know you are right and that is all that matters
Good morning John. I've been watching your channel for about 3 months now. I saw the runaway horse situation and was very impressed with how you handled it. 1st time I've commented here but I just wanted to say thank you for being so respectful of everyone and for standing up for the horses and the troopers! From northeast USA.
Here’s the thing, who’s the one that was allowed into the stables to film behind the scenes? You. Who’s the most respected one filming at horse guards? You. Why? Because you’re hugely respectful to the guards, police officers & daft tourists who misbehave too. In return you get huge respect back from the troopers, they can see for themselves which is why spammers are so detested. You keep doing what you’re doing. We all care, we all watch you. I won’t watch anyone else. You interact & tell us what’s going on, you can’t replace that. ❤
💯 agree. Those other so called TH-camrs have no respect whatsoever. Love how John explains things & lets us know who the horses are which I enjoy unlike others who just stand there saying nothing. I watched the video from yr Monday one & that other idiot was so rude & even the undercover office asked not to be filmed but that idiot did. Can’t wait to visit Horse Guards later in the year.
Really interesting video today. Loved all the goings on in the yard and seeing the life guards all lined up with the standard was lovely. Re what you were saying about filming guidelines, you always strive to avoid anything that is stepping over the line. You really are the only one there who seems to have these standards. So keep doing what you are doing. Thank you.
Thank you John for a day of interest and mystery,the best way I avoid spammers is I watch only you as you are respectful , humorous and interesting . Have a nice evening . 😊
Thanks for the update and good to know about the guidelines. Great to see the longguard, I think it was a lieutenant, there are a lot of new faces among the officers right now. 41:12 shows a Staff corporal/ Squadron Quartermaster Corporal, he had 4 chevrons. Oh by the way Happy Lunar New Year
Good morning John. I love the way you handle yourself and how you present the guards. You really make me want to move to England. With all the problems that have arisen I still feel very proud of the English. Thank you for you videos and commentary
That view through the gate was actually quite spectacular. You could hear the megaphone of the ceremony coming through the tunnel. Can you explain what you mean by a "long guard" vs regular incoming trips? Is it number of horses in the line or they are bringing in the colors? By the way, you held pretty still between the bars and your respectful golf voice was perfect. I also have checked out other horse guard channels because I love the horses so much but always end up leaving after a few minutes as you have spoiled us with your humor, respectful commentary and educational anecdotes. Thank you for always taking the high road with the spammers and trying to talk sense into them. Just remember you can't change stupid. With much respect from the Rocky Mtns. USA.
A Long Guard is on duty when the King is in residence in London , , - an Officer , Corporal Major who carries the Regimental Standard , Trumpeter who rides the grey , two NCO's , ( Corporal of Horse and Lance Corporal of Horse ) 10 Troopers . A regular Guard is the NCO's and Troopers .
Morning John! There's no signs on the either box. You're good at keeping the camera steady! Thanks for catching all this and sharing! It's truly wonderful to see!
I only watch your channel John. I've blocked all the other Horse Guards channels so I don't unintentionally get sucked in to giving them views. Keep going with your style. We love the respect you show to the Guards and your narration.
HI John Linda from California you are a wonderful person and I love your videos very informative and respectful of everyone and everything. And you deserve respect for the person that you have always been above the bottom feeders. No worries ☺️❤❤
John, thank you for the update with clarifications of the guidelines you’ve been given regarding what not to film. I have nothing but respect for you and for the integrity of your channel. I love seeing the Long Guard here today, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the video! With love & appreciation, Lynn in Michigan USA ♥️🇺🇸🐴🐴🇬🇧♥️
Guidelines on what to film or not film surely should be common sense to the majority of people , unfortunately the spammers seem to have that missing in their genetic code ! It will be interesting to see your video regarding the one on benefits while filming . So effectively we the British tax payers are subsidising him to stand outside Horse Guards with multiple cameras for 3 hours every day ! Oh joy ! I'll echo lynn saying we all have respect for you and your integrity on this channel . Plus your respect for the regiments . Those who make up the " anti John brigade " I doubt could spell integrity or be aware of the meaning 🤔. Have a good evening 😀
Thanks Lynn , I'm a great believer in sharing humour and finding something to laugh about every day 😁. One of my favourite poems is by Spike Milligan , smiling is infectious 😃. The ones who spend their time moaning and complaining must lead sad lives !
Goodmorning John I have flipped through different channels and none of them is good as yours you are respectful of the Guards and thier wishes, You always a Gentleman , you always try and educate disrespectful tourist about who the Guards are and thier Jobs there and try and teach them about Horse Guards. I t upsets me when they don't listen or laugh at you when your trying to talk to them. I love all the information you give us from very start to finish. Your funny , fun and serious. Your laughter is a joy to hear. If something happened and you were no longer there I would miss you and Horse Guard, I have seen and heard the others and they are not , how can I say this , who i would want to spend time at Horse Guards with even though I would miss all the Horses and Troopers. You are the Best❤
I really appreciate your channel John. You actually care about the guard's, the horses and the history, unlike these channel that just spam a hundred shorts every millisecond. I feel bad especially for the female guard's as some of these channels post shorts with creepy titles about them. I hope we get to a point where the spammers are just outright banned from any MoD properties. Keep what your doing and all the best ❤
Good morning from NY… John, your channel is the only channel I watch! Your wit and your humor is the best! Of course your coverage of London, The horse guards and anything and everything is top-notch… I love listening to you speak and I learn new things about the city and the way things work there because you always explain in great detail… thank you …have a beautiful day! ❤
When I first started watching channels related to Horse guards I saw a lot of the channels. But when I came across your channel I listened to your commentary and found it very interesting but more importantly respectful of Horse Guards and all involved. Also as time went on with you being invited for the Princess Elizabeth cup, the ways the police talked to you, the invitation to visit the art gallery, the way the MOD officers talked to you, etc., but more importantly the way you shared your thoughts and defended the troopers and HCav I decided this was the channel for me. I no longer look at any of the other channels. I was in a total panic at Christmas when you weren’t on. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you do and your support and defense of the hardworking military and staff at Horse Guards. A long comment but one I need to get out.
John,as many have said in their comments: integrity, honesty, respectful, knowledgeable,kind to all age groups,funny,only site watched, all these words describe you and your site. Thank you. Know that you are a credit to Horse Guards,your city,Country and your family. Keep safe,especially crossing the streets!❤
Good afternoon darlings 😁 totally agree with you on every respect John,these horrible idiotic spamalamadingdongs should all be banned from HG,there have no integrity or respect,your channel and yourself are just brilliant and ive daid this before,you have my loyalty 💯❤
John you do an amazing job. I often watch you TH-cam vlogs while I am working on my crafting business I get Universal Credit but as a Self-employed person and have to declare my earnings I make from my Crafting Business as well as being a carer to a son with Autism and dyslexia and dyspraxia he works with me in my crafting business and he also does gaming and is also registered self-employed and on Universal Credit. Watching Monday's vlog was brilliant and It was good that you and the Police told the other person not to publish his video.
Thanks John as I have watched a lot of the channels and yours is the only one I watched all the way to the end. I love your comments as they make me smile. Keep up the great job.
What wonderful news about Vida . I'm counting the days until bext Friday when I will be going to the horse trustwhen it reopens after the winter break. I love to see all the retired H Cav Horses.
Hi John, I don't watch live streams. I can't watch a video all day. I have more important things to do. I watch your channel because it is more informative.
No way finally got to see one of my favorite troopers in cameo uniform,usually when he’s on the box or gates men,he’s very serious,this is the first time we all got to see him smile while he was talking to that one guy leaving.that’s awesome he’s one of my favorites.
Thank you for praising the volunteers that are cleaning up the messes left by persons having no respect for British traditions or the lovely city of London. These volunteers are lovely and thanks to them. I truly wish that You tubers would learn from your professionalism and considerations when filming. Keep up the good work!!
Too bad the police cannot fine Tourists who they see littering. Shameful behavior to go to another country and throw your garbage on the sidewalk or street.
@@kathellison8084 Zip-Lock bags are great for depositing trash when public waste cans are not available. Bags can be easily attached to backpacks so trash can be tossed at a later time. Safety and security is most important for everyone. Thanks for you comment.
Hi John, don't let the spammers get to you, there not worth it. You're the best and we appreciate you, you're respectful and respected, thank you for all you do.
Good morning John, thank you for your videos. I live in the state of Indiana. I wake up daily hoping you have posted a new video. When you went on vacation I went through withdrawal missing you each day. Learning from your videos makes me so happy. Especially the ones about everything the guards go through on a daily. God bless and take care.
John, I love your channel and appreciate the way you conduct yourself and the content you share with us. My first encounter with the horse guards was on a very sad and pitiful TH-cam want-to-be channel. By " happy " chance I found your channel and fell in love, ❤️ . Sadly I don't live where I can visit ( USA ) but I've learned so many interesting and fun facts that I can share with family and friends. Thank you and keep being the awesome person that I've come to know and appreciate.
Before I knew better I saw some of the other videos on FB. I thought in the beginning it was an official HG camera CCTV because no one spoke. 😂 I kept falling asleep and I was easily distracted. Now I block those channels and their invitations. I enjoy your videos because not only educational but respectable. Manners and respect is very rare and your videos leave me with a sense of hope those things aren't lost.
Hi John. One of the many reasons I watch your videos & only your videos is your total honesty, discretion, & respect, even in difficult & unexpected situations such as happened on Monday. Yes, we saw the Trooper from Monday approaching his horse, but you moved the camera so quickly, it was only a fleeting glance. I remember the other video very well, & I remember you clearly telling the same person not to show the Troopers face, the poor lad was clearly hurt, but as you quite rightly pointed out, he did it anyway. Like the Troopers, I think I'd be totally sick to the back teeth of someone staring at me through a camera lens for over 3 hours. By the way, thumbing through facebook today, I came across a lot of still photos of the Kings Guard (all regiments) from several sources. Don't know if they are legit or not, but 2 of the sites had a Life Guard as their profile picture. Seemed a bit strange to me. Anyway, here's looking forward to your next great video.😊
Well done John.. You are The Voice of Reason,! Protecting HCAV who are unable to have a voice. That goes for all REGIMENTS of THE HOUSEHOLD DIVISION. These are professional Soldiers and they have protocols to follow too.
John, you have so much respect for the guards and so much integrity never let them get to you!! I looked around and no one films like you do!! RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT is earned and you have it all the way!!! Thank you for being the voice of the guards!! Love your channel
A challenge for Februaty for all - pick up just 1 piece of rubbish every day - no matter what country you live in ! I joined keep Britain beautiful campaign oddly I was on a cruise at the time! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
Hi, John. I would just like to say, I only watch your channel. I’m just interested in the horses, learning about the traditions and seeing the majesty of it all. The defensive, belligerent or aggressive people make me tense and stressed. Neither are reasons I came to watch a video. I respect your ethics and applaud your actions, hence why you are the only channel I follow. Keep up the good work.
Thank you John for an awesome channel. Unlike others you’re very informative & I’ve loved getting to know the horses over time. Can’t wait to come visit Horse Guards later in year. 🙂 No signs up this morning. Shot of the day right there with all the troopers.
I started watching your channel because you are so respectful and care about everything. I have seen other channels, but they only post things that would make you hurt So thank you, John, for your videos and standing up to those that do not. ❤
There are several guys, "midlife stockman" and Al Bladez in US who clean up a yard clear overgrown sidewalks they drive around and locate low income areas and record it, put it on youtube, get a following which pays most if not all of expenses to do the job and actually earn an income sufficiently enough to make it worthwhile.
John, you have always been a gentleman with your commentary and I have been following you for some months now. Please carry on. I will follow your guidance.
Unable to watch as much as I use to; therefore, read into this what you will; whether its your voice or commentary, it is calm& ‘stress’ reducingly amazing! To both rider and steed “God speed!!” #BritianSTRONG🇬🇧
You know, John I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve watched two or three different channels on the horse gods and all the others I did very disrespectful and many ways and I have totally blocked them and deleted following them. You’re the only one I care to see one because I love the commentaries too. You pull out the best in people like just now the people cleaning the phone booth that’s nice to see that somebody cares enough to keep them clean and pristine.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning John, I have a question about the spammers. I'm not sure who to stay away from and who are okay to follow. I don't want to support the wrong people. You do so much for the channel and are so very respectful to the guards and the history of England. I wish I could come there to see it in person. The best thing that has happened is the white boxes. The poor horses and guards were so mistreated. The difference in the behavior of the horses is remarkable. Keep up the good work. Love to you from the beautiful state of Alabama.
The main spammer is this Filipino guy who is despised by the troopers I know personally: www.youtube.com/@abdullahmaddelavlogs www.youtube.com/@LKGLondonKingsGuard (second channel owned by the spammer above)
@LondonCityWalks, thankfully, I've not subscribed to any of them . Seen quick clips of the things he posts he should not be posting . I ignore them . I really feel for the guards and their family's. I'd be doing my impersonation of an insane banshee at em I don't tolerate disrespect and idiots well.
Afternoon John et al'..fabulous video this morning! I never tire of seeing our splendid Knights in red and what a treat to see them lined up in the yard with their standard! That lad that was the other side of the yard was so thrilled to have seen it, put a smile on my face! 😊 Absolutely acknowledge all of your comments at the start of video, nothing to contribute there, I think we've all wasted enough time on those idiots, time to move on and enjoy what this year will bring with you!
Hi John from USA ❤ you said the bosses told the troopers it’s up to them about the box rules, so I don’t see anything wrong with that, it’s up to the trooper ❤ great video as always, you’re the best ❤
4:32 Its common decency not to film an injured horse or trooper. Unfortunately human nature being what it is its doesn't happen. It rude and unfair to rhe troopers. Like a serious motorway accident and people slowing down on the opposite lanes to look at what happening. Sometime causing accidents due to slowing down to look. I'm glad the trooper and his mount are ok. Take care John and thank you for your comments and videos.

So effectively we the British tax payers are subsidising him to stand outside Horse Guards with multiple cameras for 3 hours every day ! Oh joy ! I'll echo lynn saying we all have respect for you and your integrity on this channel . Plus your respect for the regiments . Those who make up the " anti John brigade " I doubt could spell integrity or be aware of the meaning 🤔. Have a good evening 😀
@ I do so enjoy your humor, Kath! 😂 I’m also looking forward to the “Benefits Video” 🕵🏼♂️
Thanks Lynn , I'm a great believer in sharing humour and finding something to laugh about every day 😁. One of my favourite poems is by Spike Milligan , smiling is infectious 😃. The ones who spend their time moaning and complaining must lead sad lives !
@@kathellison8084Well said Kath ! I agree !
John you do have something complete and utter respect from troopers and the big bosses at Knoghtsbridge. Well done John keep it up thankyou
Goodmorning John I have flipped through different channels and none of them is good as yours you are respectful of the Guards and thier wishes, You always a Gentleman , you always try and educate disrespectful tourist about who the Guards are and thier Jobs there and try and teach them about Horse Guards. I t upsets me when they don't listen or laugh at you when your trying to talk to them. I love all the information you give us from very start to finish. Your funny , fun and serious. Your laughter is a joy to hear. If something happened and you were no longer there I would miss you and Horse Guard, I have seen and heard the others and they are not , how can I say this , who i would want to spend time at Horse Guards with even though I would miss all the Horses and Troopers. You are the Best❤
Very kind comments Bonnie - thank you! ❤
I love how you interact with all kinds of people- even if it is good or bad
You have morals and integrity that’s very important ❤
I really appreciate your channel John. You actually care about the guard's, the horses and the history, unlike these channel that just spam a hundred shorts every millisecond. I feel bad especially for the female guard's as some of these channels post shorts with creepy titles about them. I hope we get to a point where the spammers are just outright banned from any MoD properties. Keep what your doing and all the best ❤
That's very kind of you and much appreciated - thank you! ❤
Good morning from NY… John, your channel is the only channel I watch! Your wit and your humor is the best! Of course your coverage of London, The horse guards and anything and everything is top-notch… I love listening to you speak and I learn new things about the city and the way things work there because you always explain in great detail… thank you …have a beautiful day! ❤
When I first started watching channels related to Horse guards I saw a lot of the channels. But when I came across your channel I listened to your commentary and found it very interesting but more importantly respectful of Horse Guards and all involved. Also as time went on with you being invited for the Princess Elizabeth cup, the ways the police talked to you, the invitation to visit the art gallery, the way the MOD officers talked to you, etc., but more importantly the way you shared your thoughts and defended the troopers and HCav I decided this was the channel for me. I no longer look at any of the other channels. I was in a total panic at Christmas when you weren’t on. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you do and your support and defense of the hardworking military and staff at Horse Guards. A long comment but one I need to get out.
John, you are so courteous to everyone
Except disrespectful moron spammers - who deserve to be treated with utter disdain and disgust : )
John,as many have said in their comments: integrity, honesty, respectful, knowledgeable,kind to all age groups,funny,only site watched, all these words describe you and your site. Thank you. Know that you are a credit to Horse Guards,your city,Country and your family. Keep safe,especially crossing the streets!❤
Good afternoon darlings 😁 totally agree with you on every respect John,these horrible idiotic spamalamadingdongs should all be banned from HG,there have no integrity or respect,your channel and yourself are just brilliant and ive daid this before,you have my loyalty 💯❤
John you do an amazing job. I often watch you TH-cam vlogs while I am working on my crafting business I get Universal Credit but as a Self-employed person and have to declare my earnings I make from my Crafting Business as well as being a carer to a son with Autism and dyslexia and dyspraxia he works with me in my crafting business and he also does gaming and is also registered self-employed and on Universal Credit. Watching Monday's vlog was brilliant and It was good that you and the Police told the other person not to publish his video.
Good morning John. Thanks for the update. You and your channel are the best.
Thanks John as I have watched a lot of the channels and yours is the only one I watched all the way to the end. I love your comments as they make me smile. Keep up the great job.
Troopers ,horses looking stunning❤
Good afternoon John, thanks for the update, you’re clear about that. Stay safe!
Saw on the Horse Trust Channel that Vida was coming back. Yay! ❤
What wonderful news about Vida . I'm counting the days until bext Friday when I will be going to the horse trustwhen it reopens after the winter break. I love to see all the retired H Cav Horses.
@lynclark893 I would love to visit there!
Hi John, I don't watch live streams. I can't watch a video all day. I have more important things to do. I watch your channel because it is more informative.
No way finally got to see one of my favorite troopers in cameo uniform,usually when he’s on the box or gates men,he’s very serious,this is the first time we all got to see him smile while he was talking to that one guy leaving.that’s awesome he’s one of my favorites.
Thank you for praising the volunteers that are cleaning up the messes left by persons having no respect for British traditions or the lovely city of London. These volunteers are lovely and thanks to them. I truly wish that You tubers would learn from your professionalism and considerations when filming. Keep up the good work!!
Too bad the police cannot fine Tourists who they see littering. Shameful behavior to go to another country and throw your garbage on the sidewalk or street.
@@MichiganMade56 Thanks for reaching out to me. You are exactly right.
People that litter and disrespect property have no shame!!
@@MichiganMade56 I agree, bur why is there no wast bin enywhere around?
There are no waste/rubbish bins in the area for safety and security reasons , as bins have been used to plant devices in the past !
@@kathellison8084 Zip-Lock bags are great for depositing trash when public waste cans are not available. Bags can be easily attached to backpacks so trash can be tossed at a later time. Safety and security is most important for everyone. Thanks for you comment.
Hi John, don't let the spammers get to you, there not worth it. You're the best and we appreciate you, you're respectful and respected, thank you for all you do.
Good morning John, thank you for your videos. I live in the state of Indiana. I wake up daily hoping you have posted a new video. When you went on vacation I went through withdrawal missing you each day.
Learning from your videos makes me so happy. Especially the ones about everything the guards go through on a daily. God bless and take care.
I found it hard with John on holiday I've become OCD with my evening routine and John is part of that routine.
John I respect what you do and say. I don’t watch any other channels ❤
John, I love your channel and appreciate the way you conduct yourself and the content you share with us. My first encounter with the horse guards was on a very sad and pitiful TH-cam want-to-be channel. By " happy " chance I found your channel and fell in love, ❤️ . Sadly I don't live where I can visit ( USA ) but I've learned so many interesting and fun facts that I can share with family and friends. Thank you and keep being the awesome person that I've come to know and appreciate.
Before I knew better I saw some of the other videos on FB. I thought in the beginning it was an official HG camera CCTV because no one spoke. 😂 I kept falling asleep and I was easily distracted. Now I block those channels and their invitations. I enjoy your videos because not only educational but respectable. Manners and respect is very rare and your videos leave me with a sense of hope those things aren't lost.
Delightful young Frenchies! 🎉❤🎉
Thank you John 😊
Thank you John you are the only videos I watch at horse guards all the best from a New Zealand viewer🇳🇿
I only watch your channel. Interesting, informative, and funny. ❤ Keep on videoing 😊
Thank you!!!
Resplendent in all their regal glory. Love to see them lined up ))
Hi John. One of the many reasons I watch your videos & only your videos is your total honesty, discretion, & respect, even in difficult & unexpected situations such as happened on Monday. Yes, we saw the Trooper from Monday approaching his horse, but you moved the camera so quickly, it was only a fleeting glance. I remember the other video very well, & I remember you clearly telling the same person not to show the Troopers face, the poor lad was clearly hurt, but as you quite rightly pointed out, he did it anyway. Like the Troopers, I think I'd be totally sick to the back teeth of someone staring at me through a camera lens for over 3 hours. By the way, thumbing through facebook today, I came across a lot of still photos of the Kings Guard (all regiments) from several sources. Don't know if they are legit or not, but 2 of the sites had a Life Guard as their profile picture. Seemed a bit strange to me. Anyway, here's looking forward to your next great video.😊
Well done John.. You are The Voice of Reason,! Protecting HCAV who are unable to have a voice. That goes for all REGIMENTS of THE HOUSEHOLD DIVISION. These are professional Soldiers and they have protocols to follow too.
John, you have so much respect for the guards and so much integrity never let them get to you!! I looked around and no one films like you do!! RESPECT RESPECT RESPECT is earned and you have it all the way!!! Thank you for being the voice of the guards!! Love your channel
I enjoy you John and I respect your integrity and your channel is the only one now besides all others do not narrate ,thanks for the enjoyable video😄
For " Carter The Police Horse, the feet are the give away! Carter is a Clydesdale !!! A very iconic and also very expensive breed of fine horse flesh!
I thought cob at first but now you've said Clydesdale I can see Ur right.
A challenge for Februaty for all - pick up just 1 piece of rubbish every day - no matter what country you live in ! I joined keep Britain beautiful campaign oddly I was on a cruise at the time! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
It's amazing how these horses are so well trained. They line up so easily.🐎
Good for you John. And these scammers who flood FB should be stopped and sent back to where they came from.
👏👏👏
Thank you for another great and explanatory video John. Stay safe and warm. Love and Blessings from Missouri, USA.
Hi, John. I would just like to say, I only watch your channel. I’m just interested in the horses, learning about the traditions and seeing the majesty of it all. The defensive, belligerent or aggressive people make me tense and stressed. Neither are reasons I came to watch a video. I respect your ethics and applaud your actions, hence why you are the only channel I follow. Keep up the good work.
Good morning starting my day with a cup of tea and watching your video perfect day!
Thank you John for an awesome channel. Unlike others you’re very informative & I’ve loved getting to know the horses over time. Can’t wait to come visit Horse Guards later in year. 🙂 No signs up this morning. Shot of the day right there with all the troopers.
I started watching your channel because you are so respectful and care about everything. I have seen other channels, but they only post things that would make you hurt
So thank you, John, for your videos and standing up to those that do not. ❤
I only watch yours now! I didn’t know any better before but I quickly realized you were the gentleman I liked watching!
There are several guys, "midlife stockman" and Al Bladez in US who clean up a yard clear overgrown sidewalks they drive around and locate low income areas and record it, put it on youtube, get a following which pays most if not all of expenses to do the job and actually earn an income sufficiently enough to make it worthwhile.
You captured the guard of honour in the yard beautifully, John.
Good Day John Caroline Scotland another good video.
Thank you John. Been an interesting viewing.
Thankyou John for what you are doing x
Morning John. So pleased I found you….always informative & fun!! Woo hoo!!🌻😎🌻
John, you have always been a gentleman with your commentary and I have been following you for some months now. Please carry on. I will follow your guidance.
Still a great day at Horse Guards, for me always great John. Cheers.
Unable to watch as much as I use to; therefore, read into this what you will; whether its your voice or commentary, it is calm& ‘stress’ reducingly amazing! To both rider and steed “God speed!!” #BritianSTRONG🇬🇧
Yes John is always respectful and friendly. It’s so nice that he has his own channel space.
Hi John. Thanks for the update about Venus and the tooth. Would have been a cool to look at. Thank you for all the other updates too. 😊
Warlord then Legend on the left. Quella then Tennyson on the right.
Thank God I was right about Quella! Thank you!
Thankyou for telling us which horses are on guard. I love knowing the names of them.
Thanks Geli…as always!😊
Oh adorable. Daddy is showing his adorable tiny boy just able to stand what is going on. Tiny boy is very interested.
You know, John I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve watched two or three different channels on the horse gods and all the others I did very disrespectful and many ways and I have totally blocked them and deleted following them. You’re the only one I care to see one because I love the commentaries too. You pull out the best in people like just now the people cleaning the phone booth that’s nice to see that somebody cares enough to keep them clean and pristine.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good morning John, I have a question about the spammers. I'm not sure who to stay away from and who are okay to follow. I don't want to support the wrong people. You do so much for the channel and are so very respectful to the guards and the history of England. I wish I could come there to see it in person. The best thing that has happened is the white boxes. The poor horses and guards were so mistreated. The difference in the behavior of the horses is remarkable. Keep up the good work. Love to you from the beautiful state of Alabama.
The main spammer is this Filipino guy who is despised by the troopers I know personally:

www.youtube.com/@LKGLondonKingsGuard (second channel owned by the spammer above)
To be on the decent safe side, I only watch this channel . I've Unsuscribed from Buskas i can't tolerate his childish meltdowns .
@LondonCityWalks, thankfully, I've not subscribed to any of them . Seen quick clips of the things he posts he should not be posting . I ignore them . I really feel for the guards and their family's. I'd be doing my impersonation of an insane banshee at em I don't tolerate disrespect and idiots well.
Great vid john
Thanks john its good to know@@LondonCityWalks
Great hour John . . . thank you for a great watch: Kiwi
I love your channel keep up the good job that you're doing what I love about you you do not get discouraged God bless you keep up the good work
I only watch you cuz you are so information about london ❤❤❤❤
That would be good John to see 4pm inspection, especially in summer order as we get the dismount
Afternoon John et al'..fabulous video this morning! I never tire of seeing our splendid Knights in red and what a treat to see them lined up in the yard with their standard! That lad that was the other side of the yard was so thrilled to have seen it, put a smile on my face! 😊 Absolutely acknowledge all of your comments at the start of video, nothing to contribute there, I think we've all wasted enough time on those idiots, time to move on and enjoy what this year will bring with you!
Hi John from USA ❤ you said the bosses told the troopers it’s up to them about the box rules, so I don’t see anything wrong with that, it’s up to the trooper ❤ great video as always, you’re the best ❤
Good morning from state of Alabama USA
4:32 Its common decency not to film an injured horse or trooper. Unfortunately human nature being what it is its doesn't happen. It rude and unfair to rhe troopers.
Like a serious motorway accident and people slowing down on the opposite lanes to look at what happening. Sometime causing accidents due to slowing down to look.
I'm glad the trooper and his mount are ok. Take care John and thank you for your comments and videos.
