EMERGENCY Closure Sees Horses and King's Guard Removed | LOCKDOWN

London City Walks

Horse Guards was dramatically shut down due to an emergency today - a mass 'National March for Palestine' from Russell Square to Parliament Square. The King's Guard was duly removed and the signs taken down - but not before we saw Q10 doing what he does best: quitting in style.

The real shocker wasn't the horse, though. It was the clueless tourists who completely ignored the danger, refusing to move back even after explicit warnings from the MOD Police.

I'll never understand why people want to scream and yell for a country they don't live in, one that cares nothing about you or your country. Then sit by and watch the country they do live in crumble around them. God bless you John, your military, these beautiful horses and the patriots ❤

I so agree with you John, the safety and comfort of the horses should be priority

It amazes me daily how many people have 0 self preservation skills and knowledge of the damage a horse can do that I see on you're channel John.

The general public is STUPID 😢

I swear these tourists don't get that the horses are the priority. Their pictures are not.

The Trooper on Q10 is amazing. He stays so calm when the horse gets agitated. ❤❤

It was hard to watch Q10 in distress. Anyone who has an aversion to "loud" anything will understand. Victoria is a SWEETHEART. Thank you John, for staying with it and leading your viewers through what was happening. So glad to see the Female MOD officer back. As always, I am looking forward to your next video. Take care everyone.🙂

I'm so sorry for Q10, poor boy😢 they should have taken him off much earlier or tell these idiots to turn this noise off!

Hope you're in more comfortable situation today, sir!! Just turned this on and am so glad that the horses have been taken back away from the crowds. Please be careful out there today, John. 😊The cooler weather has hit us here in Jersey as well!!
