Such Scenes Are Witnessed By Tourists When The Queen's Guards Are Angry

The Queen's Guard are the names given to contingents of infantry and cavalry soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in the United Kingdom. The British Army has regiments of both Horse Guards and Foot Guards predating the English Restoration (1660), and since the reign of King Charles II these regiments have been responsible for guarding the Sovereign's palaces.

They are not purely ceremonial, despite tourist perceptions. They must protect the British queen and royal palaces in London and in the surrounding area.

For the British, this is the most honorable job they can ever do. But a great honor also brings great responsibility. They have to stick to many protocols, and they can't communicate with tourists.

If one of the visitors is too indifferent, the royal guards quickly respond with a big dose of anger.

On the web, we found a compilation in which the author collected some of the most furious reactions of royal guards when tourists took one step too far.

Would you dare to anger the soldiers in front of the royal palace?

I wouldn't dream of behaving in this way towards them, total lack of respect. They do an amazing job & people should admire them from a distance.
