@@asimoes1974 no idea why you mentioned a parade, but the situation im thinking of is a what if situation.

Say its mid summer, 30 degrees C with no wind and a few scum bags come and ram the gate in a sort of fashion to over throw the hierarchy and send a msg to the world. After ramming the gate their vehicle stops working so these guys get out and charge for the front doors "where is the front 2 guards and the door guard" you may ask, ah well one tried to shoot the vehicle and landed a few shots however missed his target because he was wearing an animal over his eyes, and the second one passed out while making a dash towards the truck. Which resulted in one of the 2 dieing, (one went unchecked with heat stroke for several hours and the other hit by the truck he barely saw)

The front door guards attempted to put up a fight againsed the (lets say 4 men in a bullet proof vest and a t shirt and cargo pants) these 4 men easily take down these trained killers by simply knocking them down with a gun, these guards r tired from just working 1 hour 50 minutes in the scorching sun and are exausted, one attempts to raise his gun to shoot but because of his thick and heavy clothes he didnt raise his arm in time and died.

These men make it inside where they are gunned down because im sure interior floor security is wearing normal bullet proof vests and sports suits (normal looking suits for a professional look but are actually rather stretchy and allow for gymnastics)....

I fabricated the last part, but im just saying you may not make it to actually kill the queen no matter how hard one may try, but the presidents white house is much more secure and has stronger personel at hand because they arent arrogant enough to force their fighters into the damn flag just rep their country (or patriotic enough? idk i dont think im using the right term but you know what i mean)

in 2021......Canadian troops have once again been named to perform as the Queen’s Guard in London.

Some 80 members of the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) are heading to the UK along with 35 members of the Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) band.

The Canadian soldiers will take up their guard duty positions on October 21 and continue until November 12.

The Queen’s Guard are soldiers charged, in support of the civil authorities, with guarding the Sovereign and the official royal residences in the UK. These include Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London.

This is especially significant as they will be acting as sentries during this 100th anniversary year of the end of the First World War.

A lot of this is fairly misleading or just perpetuating myths, military prison is a potential punishment for any soldier in the Army, but it's reserved for only the worst offences. Making a guard laugh would at most be a fine from their pay, although from what I've heard, these days that's probably unlikely too, probably depends more on who notices if they do.

They're also human beings. I was in London with my goddaughter, we were trying to find a pub somewhere around the Palace to meet up with mates and were incredibly lost. The Queen's Guards don't just man the front gates, they're all around the property. My goddaughter was close to tears, we couldn't find anyone else to ask, not another soul around, so I went up to the guard and said, "I know you're not supposed to move or anything, but we're looking for XYZ street and completely turned around. Could you like maybe just flick your eyes in the right direction? Please?" He stood completely rigid for a few seconds, then smiled, and - like any normal human being - said "go down that way for two streets, turn left, and it'll be just past ABC shop on the right." Went back to being a statue while my goddaughter gawped in astonishment. "Thank you so much, thank you!" And off we went. My goddaughter couldn't stop telling that story for weeks.

@hobomike6935

The only indication I've seen that they're human beings was that time the Royal family was doing some big event on live TV in the summer, and one of the guards overheated and fainted (dropping his Bayonet rifle and losing his fuzzy helmet-hat.)

For all I knew, they were robots; I half-expected them to have windup keys hidden under their hats, like the tin soldiers you'd see in old tv shows.

The only real time they are not allowed to move is when they are on parade like the trooping of the colours. Yes it gets hot with the bearskin and tunic but there are tricks to staying up, there are even cases if caught in time where they will sandwich the guard who is not doing well and keep him up. There are tons of little tricks that they learn to stay awake and keep the mind focused as to avoid falling.

But sometimes there is nothing one can do. And if you do fall the unwritten rule is you better hit the floor before your rifle does and move a muscle until you are carried off the parade square.

I was a firefighter/EMT..I Once stood guard at the funeral of our longtime chief. Granted it was only a few hours for 2 services, but it was not easy. At the end of the night, I overheard a child about the age of 7 or 8 asking his mom why I was standing so still, and why I wouldn’t smile back at him…I tried really hard to not break, but after about 10 minutes of the child’s innocent questions and faces he made trying to get me to smile,I smiled back. I didn’t get scolded or shot…it was actually quite a memorable experience. 😊

I'm a US Navy veteran and have empathy for the Royal Guard. I ve had to stand motionless in certain ceremonies. It's not fun. While we wouldn't likely go to prison for slightly moving, we were expected to be as still as possible.

Why do people think that screwing with a guard of any military organization is a good idea? That is highly disrespectful and a bit loony.

I've been an armed guard at a post. Luckily for me I was free to move about. I would snap to attention when I checked ID'S at the gate and render the proper salute when required. I'm lucky that the general public had enough since to mess with me. I had a loaded pistol and a ratio for backup.

My father was also a Coldstream Guard and was on duty at Buckingham Palace when Elizabeth and Margaret were girls. He was also on guard at The Tower of London and The Bank of England. He served in Palestine and on his way home had to fight in North Africa, including Tobruk and El Alamein. He used to drive a Bren Gun Carrier and drove senior officers in a staff car. He was shot twice. Shaved with petrol to save water and made tea with the water from radiators of damaged vehicles. He told me that wooden and cardboard replicas of tanks and vehicles were placed so that the enemy could see how well equipped the British were. But this ploy was seen through by them as they actually flew over and dropped wooden bombs on them. I wish I could remember everything he told me about it all, I know there was a lot he never let on. I am so proud of him and miss him every day. I have his medals, and a booklet he carried, in his breast pocket, along with other papers and his Guardsman's tie (Which due to never having been a Guard myself, I am forbidden to wear on any occasion.)

@@tonycritcher3419 I read with great interest your post. My father was also a Coldstream Guard when the princesses were little girls.

In 1954 he moved our family to Canada but the guards were always a very important part of his life. Unfortunately he passed away from multiple myeloma at the age of 45. I believe he was exposed to radiation during a WWII raid in Norway leading to an early death.

@@quesnelgirl My goodness, our fathers may well have known each other and been on duty together. So sorry to see that your father died so young after being exposed to the radiation in his line of duty. War and conflicts are awful things. And so much is lost and often so little is gained. My father always felt guilty about being able to come home having lost so many mates at such young ages too. As for polishing boots, they used to use a hot spoon to smooth the leather to get a better shine. His father was also in the services and told dad that he had to polish the instep underneath his shoes, which I still do, on the occasions where I wear black shoes. As Grandad used to say, 'you never know who is walking behind you and can see the bottom of your shoes!' Thank you for replying, yours was the first post I read and replied to today.

In 1973 I spent a couple of months in England. I walked everywhere. One day I was walking by St. James palace down a deserted street. Across the way was a royal guard standing his post besides his little shelter. At first I did not notice him but when I did i realized he was watching me walk by. Of course when I saw him doing it, he snapped back to attention. I knew he was not supposed to move and that I had caught him, so I smiled mischievously and walked on. But inside I was very flattered. Maybe I should have slipped him my phone number. It was so cute! It only counts if you don’t try. ;)
