They should PUT A CHAIN ACROSS THAT SPACE BUT A ADEQUATE “RELEASE” so the GUARD & anyone else can release the chain.
Here on Vancouver Island, BC, CANADA it 2 or 3 Celsius.
I enjoy your Videos - I don’t do Tic toc.
You should do a bunch of top 10 videos of nippers, rein grabbers, etc. While horse guards is down.
Watch your video at 6:01 mins ....carefully, did not not see something quite remarkable?
@@stuartmccall5474 was it the child who saluted? Very respectful, a lot of people could learn something from that little chap 👏🏽 🫡
I have a question. Do these horses go from stalls here to Hyde and back? Do they not get other exercise?
LONDON CITY WALKS, did you not see (at about 6.02 mins) the Life Guard return the salute of the little black schoolboy who walked passed him with an "eyes left" and a salute. The Life Guard returned the salute by bringing his sword from the the rest on his shoulder to the carry (vertical) then back again to the shoulder. I bet that made the boy's day.
I miss a LOT when I'm focused on filming... including that wonderful moment! Thank you ❤️❤️
Yeah isn’t that funny. I’ve often looked back on things I’ve photographed and been utterly astonished at what was going on in the background lol (sometimes the foreground!! But that’s just me…..you’re probably more observant I’d imagine lol)
I Noticed that. He must have been very pleased
Took me several tries but finally caught it.
I saw it but if you weret watching the guard you would completely miss it it was so subtle
Just watching the teachers coming through with a line of little ones..Towards the end of the line there was a little boy that was saluting the guard and it looked like he was stepping like he was marching..I thought that was respectful..I guess he has been learning from someone..Just amazing.
If you look carefully (and know what to look for) the Life Guard actually returned his salute with his sword by bringing it vertical then back to the rest.
Wasn’t that cute? So nice to see
This is my favourite guard on the left that came out at the end of your video. He has been away for over two months now. He shouts at tourist if they misbehave but he is also very kind with the children. So thank him for me please.
The guard on the right is being very accommodating. He's guiding the horse left and right so that the tourists will absolutely have the horse's face in their photo.
46:52 - That's one of my favorite horses! He has the lovely snowy eyebrows!
1:03:04 - These are two of the most beautiful horses that I've seen! I love horses with mottled coats! Just stunning!!
1:23:24 - This is one of the very best guards! He doesn't take guff from anyone!
*Thank you John for taking all we viewers along for a nice tour, for your commentary, and last but certainly not least, your sense of humor! Have a great weekend!*
I noticed that too, he’s literally pointing the horses face at the same exact direction of the people so they’re all in the photo, it’s really kind of him!! 😊
The guard on the right was so good to the people posing for photos, moving horsey right into the frame. Bravo. 😉
p.s. On the sign, “everyday” should be “every day.”
Still the simplest part of the videos pleases me most. When the horses hear the "bing bong" then hear the box doors open they look like me at 5pm on a Friday. 🤣
Beautiful Horses And Handsome Guards❤
What makes your channel stand out is your commentary is so professional, interesting & informative (the list goes on.) It would be a great channel to watch to help educate those who are visiting the places you cover. I've learned a lot since subbing.
You are waaaaay too kind Miss Ninja. Much appreciated, thank you. ❤️❤️
Thank you for always telling us what day it is. It’s helpful for those like me who don’t always catch your great videos when they’re posted
The horse knows it's close to "closing" and is ready to go on holiday 😊 I like when the dorrs are opened to the box, the horses turn their heads toward the back like they're thinking, "not much longer"
What makes yr videos is yr amusing asides and the cheeky chuckling. As for cold mum always said its an overcoat colder up here in the North West 😂
the naughty horse left second time round! he was the one without another horse next to him.. he still didn't look happy though lol
Love your sense of humor, especially your double entendre's.
Another enjoyable video. Love it when we see different things and you explain them or give the history! Best videos of the Guards on you tube!
The last two horses were funny, they have a mind of their own. 🐎
That troopers moustache is magnificent, he looks so smart.
British military issue.
@@koryhirsch9114 🤣
Happy Belated Turkey Day to any Americans tuning in. Hope you all had a good day and meal, and family time yesterday.
Same to you and yours.😊
We did, Thank you for asking and remembering.
We did and stuffed ourselves 🦃🦃
Thank you, that's very kind.
Great as normal John
Watching some other's videos yesterday, I saw you, John! So happy to finally meet you "face to face".
A lot of people have no situational awareness these days, so deep in their smart phones.
Hi John, just noticed they have removed the plants by the tunnel. Stay warm and don't make yourself sick delighting us with your videos 😊.
How wonderful for the tour I like when you explain every thing
If I'm not mistaken, the trooper on the right side is the one that is very observant and shows a lot of kindness with kids getting their picture taken when he's a gate guard.
Thank you for another fantastic video John x
I love watching your narratives! I am like you, I don’t know what is wrong with some people, when they are told to get back behind the lines! They have that look in their face “What line?”
Love your tours
Hello John😀 Oh by the way, I noticed that Q 10 has a small white spot on his left side of his head near his left eye. WHAT A BEAUTY!!!!!!🤩 Please Let me know if I mixed him up another horses? The Life Guard horse that refused to leave knows when he is being nicely treated and warm, so does not want to go out on a cold and windy day. I missed you yesterday and am happy to see what beautiful horses you have for us today and what information you will provide us with.. I always learn something new every time I watch your videos. Try and keep warm, place a hand heater in your pocket and use when needed. God Bless😇
Hi John. I live just south of Atlanta, Georgia. I love your videos. The horses are wonderful and beautiful. They make me miss the horses I had when I was young.
Morning. I wish we could see our favourite trooper as a Boxman instead of stuck in the stables (if he’s even there)
He's in part 2 🥰
If you’re noticing more tourists from the U.S. this weekend, we celebrated our Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday and a lot of folks take Friday off as well to make a long weekend of it. Thanksgiving is always celebrated the 4th Thursday in November and originally celebrated a good harvest. Now it also celebrates all the blessings we’ve experienced in the past year as well, including that of close friends and family.
Lightworld
Canadian here WE celebrated our Thanksgiving Day in OCTOBER.
THE United States is celebrates in NOVEMBER.
I love your video and commentary at Horse Guards , thank you so much .
You all will be missed in the coming months . Stay safe 👌
Correction John. You are NOT no-one. You are the most useful and informative commentator there is.
... and that is the reason I came to London City Walks. Mr. John, alway a joy to listen to.
Totally agree john is brilliant with his documentaries he's always asking questions so the viewers can learn more about the horses and guards so thanku john
The one horse loves the camera attention😂. That's so lovely
Always in the right place at the right time, John. Love the expression " A penny just dropped " In the US, we say " A lightbulb just went on" 😊❤
The lightbulb expression is what we use here in Canada, as well...when he said a penny just dropped I took it literally LOL
@@raintree3383 That's funny. It is interesting comparing the different "English" phrases that have the same meaning.😁🥰
@@peggybegin8241 Hello there from Edmonton Alberta !!!!.....the UK and Canada are closely connected due to the fact that the King of England is our King too....also we share certain spellings of words like colour vs color However our English is pretty much exactly like yours...
John, many tourists fly in for weekend breaks on Thursday evening and early Friday am and as Christmas gets closer the numbers increase for shopping, festivities, Christmas company events, Christmas lights, etc.
Gorgeous horse , he feels safe in the box not wanting to leave or he may want to see what tourists do too. The attention of your camera on him gets my good side this way now this side. Like classmates in school thinking what fun they could get up to.
I wish I could understand horse talk, I swear they were discussing a breakout, the horses are just so amazing and those 2 were definitely communicating 😂
@@Godlovestheworld-p3b So do I wish I could love to hear what they talk about that would be something and interesting
24:40 What beautiful horses. Black is such a gorgeous color on horses. These actually glow :) 🐎🎠🇬🇧
That horse is relaxed I see. His head and eye’s keep closing.
Thank you for sharing the location of the Museum.
Hello John. I checked out the Raffles OWO hotel you sometimes comment on across the way. Gorgeous but too rich for my blood. Even the most modest room is £928. $1500.00 Canadian.😮 Hope you are having a great day!
Yes, the pricing is beyond justification. Ditto the new Peninsula at Hyde Park Corner. I mean it's just a room at the end of the day... hard to see that pricing level being value for money.
You are so funny and entertaining. 🤣
Also nice to see some tourists give them a pathway, instead of just standing there blocking their way and staring, then look offended when they get shouted at.😊. See, I can be nice. Lol
Wonderful! Words can’t explain how amazing this is. You capture it so AUsome and your comments make me laugh, knowing so much of sarcasm is the truth! Keep it up! From the US, Ranburne, Alabama. No respect anymore. I’m 70 and my Mother would have knocked me through the wall if I acted like half these people. ❤️🔥🏇👍🏼💥When would be the best time to come?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME WITH THIS VIDO LOVE IT ALOT 💂♀💂♀💂♀
I’m amazed by so many children don’t smile while they have their pictures taken with the Guard and Horse in the Box. They act like they are bored. Sad 😢
Thank you so much. Finally get to see what’s it’s like beyond that back entrance. What an amazing space - it’s huge. And not a grass patch anywhere - just big pebbles (right?) covering the ground.
In the vid before this one, you met people from Turkey for the first time - and in the very beginning of this one is Turkish cannon thingie. Both a one time happening. I find coincidences amazing.
The restless horse from the first group was second in line leaving with the last group.
I'm not going out there into the dirty mushy parade ground..my hooves are far to clean oiled and posh for that! 😲
The horse probably got spooked by the Korean flag fluttering across the field. It was really flaping. Plus, there was a puddle that isn't usually there.
Hello thanks you for a very good video. I wish they would do a calendar of the Horse Guards and their mounts with names! Thanks to john I know Ormonde and Q10 but would love to know more of their names
I do, too!
A Calendar is a Great Idea.🇬🇧😊💂🐎
Apparently there was acalender last year but don't have one online at least this year.
Weird as it is, puddles can scare horses. They need to see where they're walking to trust the ground. That flooded patch was most likely the issue and why they didn't force the horses out.
Awwww that lifeguard horse on the right is very pretty, and seems to have a really nice temperament too. Lovely moment with the guard on the other side returning the salute to the young boy and I also saw a couple of thank yous and acknowledgements of the trooper too so on balance a nice gentle and relatively polite start today. I’m pretty sure someone has mentioned the way some horses hate puddles, especially if they’re coming up to one from a dark area into a brightly lit one. They can’t tell if it’s a deep hole or not and bright contrasts always tend to spook horses too. You be right about them putting that horse in with the remaining Lifeguards to give him a lead past the “spooky puddle”. Btw I don’t think that was Q10 coming in, actually…..doesn’t he have little white spots on the inside of his rear hocks?
It may be nice and warm in the stables.
Lovely see smiley faces ❤❤😊😊 guard happy 😊😊🎉xx
Hello John..as always. Take care.
Settling down to watch this video with my cup of tea… hope you know the horses names in this video 😊x
The Union Jack adds a splash of color to the upper part of Whitehall, while the Horse Guards add color to the lower area.
Thank you John for showing the museum around back..never knew it was back there....learn something all the time..have a good weekend from the big bend area FLORIDA USA..
I have been in the museum. It is very interesting and well worth a visit.
According to Google, they start feeling cold at 40 F.
That foreign cannon looks like a giant pop gun with the cork waiting to be fired!
LMAO. Horse got up too early. Nodding off. ( -2° C here )
I rode my horses in all kinds of weather. The only time I couldn't ride was in fog for obvious reasons and on unsalted roads in black ice conditions. I don't think they'd leave the guards' horses standing still for an hour in absolutely freezing temperatures but perhaps with rugs? I don't know.
They don’t. You might notice in the front corner of the yard sometimes….it’s not always there but they have a temperature humidity etc sensor that measures if the conditions are within the parameters for guard duties. If not they don’t come out.
Or, perhaps, cut down to 1/2 hr instead.@@paulinemegson8519
Just gonna sneak in a quick second comment(again, as usual….sorry), but that blues horse on the right is very pretty…..and also, I’m not sure if I’m the only one(and maybe I should feel bad about it) but I just caught myself, as the view shifted to the crowd, muttering “never mind the zombies John, let’s see the horses” lol.
Ullo, ullo. Who's gone and pinched the ficus trees? Now they can't hide they're too hard up to get that blinkin' sign updated.
I noticed the same perhaps the horse came back and finished it all off....
@martyzink6273 yes I think so...
Thank you very much for the tour. At first I thought this looks different than the Imperial War Museum. I would love to go to this museum though
My mum was stationed at Dean's court Westminster Abby during the war in the ATS and Dad was in the coldstream guards, he would have enjoyed were you are right now.
Living in USA now a long to return to England.
Thank you for all your videos and your information. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🐴💂
Thanks for their servfice...Lest we Forget.
How about that! I'm very happy to speak behind the screen and happy to know your name! Hi John.
Hahahahahaha John, the beginning….. naughty boy. 😂
LCW, do you film every day? I do like your narrative of the different horses and the king's guard men /women. Thank you do sharing.
Not daily. This week: Monday, Weds and today. I aim for two or three mornings per week and the occasional afternoon.
Sun is stunning in the yard xxxx
The horse may have had a new love still in the stable and refused to leave until she left.
I'm a Canadian but from and living in Vancouver. Our weather is much like yours. We usually get very little snow and when we do the rain washes it away within a few days. No 40 below for us. 🥶
I agree with you about the weather. Victoria here.🇨🇦
Lol I'm just cracking up at the intense discussion going on behind the right hand Blues box in between everyone's favourite stable man and the cops, with lots of animated pointing.... Looks like two guys at a car show comparing vehs lol. Dunno why, it just made me giggle
I was watching them as well , whatever they were talking about was causing lots of enthusiasm on both sides 😁.
At one point they seemed to be comparing uniforms looknig at the knees on the mp's trousers!!@@kathellison8084
Very lush out the front of the exquisite hotel 💚🎄💚 Merry Christmas John xxxx
Yes the horses are real, but many ‘tour guides’ are fake😮
Stables are not usually dark ...I think the horse wanted to stay in a nice warm stable not a cold parade ground
Thanku for another great video. That tour guide should have known better not to have the group that close. Yet again absolutely beautiful horse and guard doing a grand job 😊
John, i thought i'd let you know that its about 1:30 pm in Atlanta,Ga and it is 62° F. Stay warm, sugar.😊😊
evening john and all at horse guards plus horses too also do you know when radan ( arnie)is coming back do miss her
The guard stutter stepped. I believe that gave the children the chance to finish getting out of his way.
3:01 Central Standard Time. I’ve not seen the handsome, large black horse with white socks on his left side and a very small mark on his forehead. I miss him! Have I simply overlooked him?
That Blues horse in the right box has a fleur-de-lis as a marking.
I agree whole hearty that the union flag should be flown in more places in London and other places up and down the country
Hi John ❤
I sometimes think different bits would be more comfortable for the horses. I read that they use snaffle bits, but i know there is more than one type of that bit.
I didn't see Ormonde come through 😢💔
Love the guards taking their time talking.unusual horses dont want to leave tunnel ,wow
Love your utube videos , the horses troops police and the many ignorant rude people ,
...a naughty rein grabber, you name caller john! Oh, lovely lights. Would you do a walk showing holiday lights, i ll never get there.
That sign was hidden by a shrub which is no longer there nor are the other 3. Only moved couple days ago. Presuming the new guard forgot the 45 min inspection so crammed it in before the changeover....rather awkward for him if so. There was a couple of other things he did that seemed to be a bit off. Trooper having a good old chin wag 😃
Thankyou John xxxx
That horse is very restless.never stops bobbing about.
MAYBE MOVING AROUND A BIT, EVEN IF JUST SMALL MOVEMENTS KEEPS HIM/HER FROM DOZING OFF. LOL. MANY LOOK LIKE THEY GET SLEEPY OUT THERE, KIND OF LIKE I DO DURING BORING LECTURES, ETC. LOL
It is probably warmer in the stable. Cozy warm and darker.😊😊
Hello John from New Zealand .. enjoy your videos
Awwww, horsey just wants a mint.
I am so pleased to know the horses are real John . . . that I didn't know before . . . lol. enjoyable watching once more: Kiwi
John, I live in Canada & we are almost exactly like you in England, in fact they say that Victoria, BC I more British than the British & it’s very true. We do get cold weather occasionally that is like -8 overnight, but right now it’s 13 & absolutely beautiful after out morning was 0 & chilly 🥶 Love your video❤️ I was wondering if you saw Ormonde in the group of Blues & Royals horses?
The usa are taught from kids to respect and thank there forces for there service
I was as out for a date from a Blus and Royals Trooper ,and ginen a tour of the stables
Oh how I wish my city was cold right now. Well long heat wave up to 40 degrees plus massive bushfire with 18 homes lost. Need the rain 😮
Oh sorry to hear this Janet hope things improve quickly for you all and the rain comes even quicker, take care.Di 🇬🇧
Thank you. Thankfully, no lives or livestock lost.
I know where you live! I caught up with the news this morning (UK time) and some houses gone as well. Not a good start to summer. Hope it wasn’t arson.
No, you don't... 😂🤦🏻♀️
@@LondonCityWalks😂😂😂I don’t know where you live John but I know which country Janet lives in!! ❤
