Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

3:40 The reason we took them up is because the grenadiers defeated the French at Waterloo and wore their hats as a way to remember it! Also the chinstraps don’t serve much of a purpose anymore, they were to protect soldiers faces from cavalry sabres.

I used to do this so some facts for you:
1. You only do 24 hours in the summer and 48 hours in the winter at location.
2. You only do 2 hours on a box and that’s you finished for the day, the rest you’re in the guardroom.
3. Fainting protocol is right. Faint forward and remain stiff is the correct way as standing to attention is slightly forward leaning.
4. Guards do talk…they just don’t make it obvious.
5. Only 1 guard is on a post when HM is out, 2 guards when HM is in residence.

There are times, I feel sorry for those guards!🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧

I always feel bad for them.. it’s inhumane. No bathroom breaks, no water break, no chair to take a min rest. 😏

Most of the information in this video is incorrect. For example, the Grenadier Guards have a WHITE plume on left side of the bearskin, and, there are only FIVE regiments that wear the bearskin - The Grenadiers, The Coldstream, The Irish, The Scots and The Welsh. Please double check the information you already have.

@5:25 "Since a full day of work can last over 24 hours"

Hmmm....

Salute to all of you…. My utmost respect as well.

When the guards fall on the ground face first they can loss their teeth and often will get a broken nose.

3:57 Incorrect, the natural hats are repellent. When they tried to switch to synthetic fur however, it did get heavier

Pathetic ancient rituals, It's 2022 , not 1822 .

I don't think Bright Side has been updated
He said "The Queen" and it's now "The King"

The Grenadier guards have a white plum

2:42 No toilet break on duty, first thing that comes to mind is what happens if a royal guard gets really bad guts and has explosive diarrhea while on duty?

[dr.ashkad]

I think the head guard is made for that, in case someone drops down flat on floor, the head is saved!

[feffehkira]

I can't imagine how stressful it has to be to be a royal guard. I mean, you can't break character, you have to have your whole hours planned to the minute, and also be in character at all times! Kinda reminds me of the actors at Disneyworld / Disneyland. But these Royal Guards have such an important job so it has to be more stressful for them, I would imagine.

Fun fact an Executive office and higher have a little bit smaller of a hat
