The Queen’s guards are not decorations..................
They are there for a reason.
That is why they call them GUARDS.
What a tool.
Good for the guard.
Those men are trained and ready.
I don’t know how they put up with the tourists...a good many of whom are most probably Americans.
Having studied in the UK for three years, it was amazing to see how loud and obnoxious the tourists from here were.
Guess she watched the I Love Lucy episode...
As General Russel L. Honoré would say: She’s stuck on stupid.
No means no.
I give up, that’s one of the worst sites on the internet, Never did get the video to play.
The rope is there for a reason, stupid woman...
When I visited the the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier a toddler got away from his mother and ran towards the guard. The guard shouted “halt” and pointed his rifle at the kid and said “Madam, please control your child.”
No need of that as a soldier. He could have easily marched around her.
If she were standing in the way facing him the push would have been justified.
This was an assault on a women and a battery. It was not justified.
If she had suffered damages, then she would have been entitled to damages. She was an invitee, the public being invited to this location.The fact that she stepped over the rope would only have influenced the amount of damages she would have received as a court award, if she was injured.
This is no laughing matter. If she had landed flat on her face there would have been some big bucks changing hands.The soldier should have been admonished by his C.O., and likely was.
As to the tomb of the unknown soldier in DC,, anyone interfering with that ceremony would be arrested and quietly taken away.If they resisted such arrest then they would be met with the force necessary to make an arrest. An arrest is legal. What this soldier did was not, even in England.
Plenty of YouTube videos showing Arlington Tomb Guards dressing down disrespectful visitors. After watching a few, I have decided that the Tomb Guards must never be female. Ever. There is no substitute for that deep, bass voice commanding “silence and respect”.
Nice shot.
Probably the first time in her entitled life that she didn’t get her way.
A few years ago, I stood five feet from the queen and VP Cheney at Jamestown, VA. Never considered jumping the rope
Good for the Guard!
Saw this happen up close and personal with the Royal Dragoon detail in London. A group of teenaged tourists came too close to a mounted dragoon after repeated warnings to keep their distance. The Sergeant on duty came out of nowhere from behind me yelling with drawn saber. I never saw him coming, heard an unintelligible loud yell and hit the deck. I fully expected a terrorist attack at first.
He literally went in swinging at the crowd to get them away from the mount.
Sometimes there’s just no cure for STUPID.
