The Queen leaving UK Parliament, 2006

[jackherdman]

im joining the Blues and royals

[LolFishFail]

I'm pretty sure those horse men have a pistol and a sword.. I wonder what firearm it is :) Being the Royal Guard Dragoons, they can't go unarmed...

[LolFishFail]

I'd love to see a cavalry charge :o would be devastating to the enemy...

[Jaceric2]

man i´d kill for the honor of riding with the life guards...

[ivstunts]

She was off to the pub!

[seppomuppit]

@xxxxemo4everxxxx I don't eat eggs, thats murder!

[Elliot9UK]

@fr1edweezy without europe the USA wouldn't exist :P

[mrMash1975]

@Elliot9UK oh and one more thing..we do have to thank mr hitler for halting the spread of balshovic comunism...yes nazi's did kill 8 million but that number is nothing compared to lenin,stalin etc killed upwards of 50 million of there own people...makes you wonder who the real monsters were,and one madman trying to stop comunism ruining germany..think us in the west over look that...

[Elliot9UK]

@rackjacket bit judgemental aint u :P

[fr1edweezy]

@xxxxemo4everxxxx most of our history was spent as free american. you speak of learning history and tradiiton yet you dont even know an ounce of historical chronology!

[mrMash1975]

@fr1edweezy agreed mate,war could'nt have been won without american arms and involment..but we never gave in from word go and at one point were practically alone,so i do respect usa,

[8HiGHLIFE8]

yeah this is like a well more eco-friendly motorcade for the queen unlike obamas convoy of cars/vans/motorcycles!!

[JErANdaLL124]

and this makes me proud to be British.

[chelzeydarling]

I love how they keep their culture alive. They could make this process a thing of the past but they don't. Love it!

[horselips]

The Household Cavalry and all the Guards regiments are among the most celebrated and respected soldiers in the Solar System. They serve their rotations in all theaters of combat to which Britain is committed. On top of their continuous training and real combat deployments, they are also honored to serve as protectors of the Sovereign, and participate in the ceremonial duties that requires. Other regiments (ie. Gurkhas) are also honored to serve in that role. They are real soldiers.

[seppomuppit]

those guys on the horses, are they actors or what?

[Pre114]

@seppomuppit Those motherfuckas r called the household cavalry, they r part of the British army, but only serves ceremonial purposes, useless really.

[seppomuppit]

@Pre114 the mascots, i see

[JErANdaLL124]

@seppomuppit you kidding me? wow your dumb.

[seppomuppit]

@JErANdaLL124 no, you are

[JErANdaLL124]

@seppomuppit where you even from? D:

[seppomuppit]

@JErANdaLL124 Koh Tao, wbu?

[JErANdaLL124]

@seppomuppit England

[XxIvanisKoolxX]

we know that all the horseback riders are from texas :)

[Pre114]

Those cavalry dudes look awesome!!

[huynherexpress]

So classy!

[jimmyluc]

LOL doesn't it hurt them at the end of the day for those people riding the horses bumping up and down? Cause if I were them it would kill!

[kit40]

@jimmyluc When you ride in an English saddle you stand up and down in the stirrups to counter the horse clomping up and down, thus keeping you from getting your crotch beaten to death by the saddle. It's called posting, and it's the only thing saving them from what you just mentioned.

[Obelix69]

The strathconas mounted the guard in 2000

[nalter1]

I am from America, but I love the Queen!! God save our Queen!!

[MrDenizen]

@nalter1 - your allegiance to the British Monarchy will not go unrewarded when we return to the Colonies to reclaim what is rightfully ours. Once the rebels are put down, we shall reward those who stayed behind enemy lines until we returned! God Save the Queen!!

[cksteele]

wonder if the carriage is bullet proof ?

[JErANdaLL124]

@cksteele yeah it is:)

[Madonnadevotedfan]

I would love to see that in person.

[samnnelson]

haha this makes england look really regal and old, but if you ever went to proper england then youll see its nothing like this for the most part

[pecepetube]

God save the Britons.

[LPNeptune]

the President rides around in an armored Limo... and the queens scoots around in a carriage wtf America is missing out!

[webb20k]

@LPNeptune trust me mate you wanna see what the queens like in a fucking car, she gets pulled over every time, Usually for hit and run.

[pecepetube]

I need english please.

[cbrusharmy]

@LPNeptune Remember JFK?

[SuperHeroMan411]

@cbrusharmy that carriage is the most protected thing in the UK good luck to anyone trying, they wont get very far

[cbrusharmy]

@SuperHeroMan411 No, I was referring to why "America is missing out." Our presidents used to ride around in open limos, but not anymore.

[LolFishFail]

@LPNeptune The President also doesn't have 100s of armed men on horses with traditional armour on following him xD

[djhollywoodaus]

QUEEN = EVIL LIZZARD SCUM BAG

[adrianeaglrck]

such great order and dominance, fantastic pomp and circumstance.

[universalradio]

Canada is in such a sad state right now - that we've all got low self-esteem. Canada is broken.

[1994jmoore]

@universalradio everywhere is broken.

[uglychannel2]

my mother!

[Bandeto]

I cannot even begin to describe how elegant and professional British culture and these types of ceremonies can be!

[matty123429]

i mean them buildings in background are lovely every town as them townhalls same big stone buildings like that but you dont think bout it when u see them every day

[matty123429]

think lot people who take the piss out off uk are just pissed off.cus they dont have this were they live

[universalradio]

True. I wish the we had this in Canada.

[Bandeto]

@universalradio

Totally agree with you bro! Sigh.... really would like to see more of this kind of stuff.

[universalradio]

Can you see Stephen Harper in a carriage waving at the crowds? And the Mounties just don't look gorgeous enough.

[zeekwolfe]

At the end of the video there were several young women mugging for the camera. What fun!  Look at their beautiful teeth and you can see American dentistry at it's best.

[Tazn0x]

get with the times London..

[NottinghamForest22]

no thanks. We have culture.

[Tazn0x]

culture is overrated.

[NeoFalcon69]

@Tazn0x

Yeah that's true - Coca Cola, Mc Donalds, Wars, etc. I do see your point.........

Regards

A fellow American...

[Tazn0x]

London has all of those as well.

[NeoFalcon69]

@Tazn0x

And we also speak English.... does it make us English?

[NJRocks281]

@NeoFalcon69 there is far more to American culture than that you cock sucking faggot

[NeoFalcon69]

@NJRocks281

Yeah and you are a fine example of American culture.

Congratulations asshole.

[NJRocks281]

@NeoFalcon69

piss off

[NeoFalcon69]

@NJRocks281

Go watch your military videos faggot - it's obvious you are trying to compensate for the fact you have no penis, loser.

You are nothing but a puppet of our government.

Happy New Years!

[67tr876]

@NeoFalcon69 No i think you're the asshole sir.

[AresCitadel]

Dirty old hag. She is nothing but a leech, living well off the tax payer's dime.

[blacksheepgunner]

its old school, not a waste.

[Th3BritishGuy]

How the hell is this a waste of money? In what respect?

[thelouistheman]

this is not a waste of money

[nmolzon]

Americans are very similiar to the English, so to all my idiot fellow Americans please hold it to yourself. (or go after the french)

Also this is not a waste of money it is keeping a tradition and history alive.

[aurrorra]

Waste of money, where's a communist revolution when you need one?

[RackJacket]

Your the only waste of money

My 2p a year towards this is well spent

My Pound a year spent on paying you your benifits isnt

Go jump off a bridge

[SCD4]

Waste of money paying for you and your family on the dole.

[djsal510]

USA wouldn't be on the MAP if it wasn't for the british.

[fr1edweezy]

the british would be part of germany if it wasnt for the good ol USA!

[Allyness92]

if is wasnt for britain the US would be colonies of france

[mrMash1975]

@fr1edweezy you fukin yank TWAT....fukin redneck inbred TWAT

[fr1edweezy]

@mrMash1975 HAHAHAH, why so upset mate? And it's nice to think that every American is inbred-ed. Whites are not the only Americans you ignorant bastard AHAHA.

[mrMash1975]

@fr1edweezy what fukin make are you..fukin laborotry..go loose another fukin war you fukin shit talking cunt...

[fr1edweezy]

@mrMash1975 Sorry you are ignorant to think only Americans and europeans exist. Get yourself educated you dim witted, closed minded sel centeredd bastard. Thank you.

[skinner768]

@fr1edweezy paha learn some more fucking history you stupid ignorant yank cunt! the USA came into the war right at the end to "save our bacon" and you claim yourself the fucking heroes?! YOU'RE a fucking disgrace! learn more before you slate england and our people who died for this country! so fuck you, you stupid ass raping shitface!

[fr1edweezy]

@skinner768 Yes, we entered the war in dramatic fahsion to save not only your sorry arses, but also our monetary investments ;) So believe me when I say it's the truth, that without the US aid, Europe would be dramatically different.

[Mazza4Azza]

@fr1edweezy

No. America did not SAVE Britain. America was LATE joining the war. You aren't the heroes here. Britain, France and Russia are. You only aided us with the odd spitfire. It was us that saved our own arses.

[fr1edweezy]

@Mazza4Azza France who surrendered within the first year? Russia who was on it's knees by German pressure? Britain who could not withstand the onslaught of the German army? The only people you need to thank is America. And I know we were late, I never said anything about that. But without OUR help, Europe would be radically different. You say you saved yourselves? Hahahah, come on man, get a grip. The Allies would not have won if it were not for the United States of America. FACT.

[Mazza4Azza]

@fr1edweezy

France who learned how to cope in wars? France who learned to believe that every war they fight they will win? Russia who CHOSE NOT TO BE AFRAID TO MOBILISE after being tormented previously by Hitler? Britain who fought to the very last minute and in some cases ON THEIR OWN? OF COURSE WE COULDN'T WITHSTAND THE SLAUGHTER OF Germans - BUT WHO COULD? America? Don't be daft. Even your own people rejected going to war in Europe. The only thing you did was give us the odd bob of money.

[MsHatechina]

@fr1edweezy ha ha ha...Russia were never on it's kness, FACT....the only people you need to remember are Wiston Churchill and Reginald Mitchell ( who created the spitfire)....you yanks seem very jealouse of the little island that is Great Britian :) (p.s i dont remember usa taking part in the battle of britain lol

[TheLloydA1]

@fr1edweezy Your stupidity is unrivalled.

[mrMash1975]

@fr1edweezy and we owe more to the russians than you pussy's fukin cunt american...

[fr1edweezy]

@mrMash1975 Never denied the role of the Russian army. Point still stands. If the US did nnot intervene in WW2, Europe would be radically different.

[67tr876]

fuck the queen USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!

[meg3325]

67tr876 - you are a total moron. You speak English right?? English came from England. The U.S. was a former British colony. It's called the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Read your history.  American would not exist without the U.K.

[67tr876]

am not i just say that to piss you all off hahahha

[RackJacket]

you are so lame

did you know that?

[fr1edweezy]

MEG, english is made up of many diffrent forms of other languages, for the "british"/england to take full credit is wrong

[Allyness92]

fr1edweezy: english comes from england, the first english peoples who spoke english get the credit.

[Mazza4Azza]

@meg3325

English language came from the Germans

[fr1edweezy]

fuck the queen. and all monarchs in the world

[Myles0Harcourt]

Fuck you arrogant American moron

[RatFlinger]

I was there, and as HM went by there was a horrible smell. I think she either farted or it was just old-lady smell.

[ahardyau]

How dare you insult Her Majesty the Queen in such a disgraceful and uncouth manner.

I shall always be, maam, your most loyal and obedient servant - God Save The Queen.

[324wilson]

GOD BLESS OUR QUEEN!!!

[elephantbarbiegirl]

Nice video. Looks like you had a great spot and got a really good view of HM. Glad you all seemed to enjoy the experience even though it looked a bit chilly!

[THRUXTON1]

great ,makes me proud to be british

[RackJacket]

You ask the british army, royal navy and royal air force where their alliegences lie,

And you will find this country is still very much her majesties

[punkstoper]

lol well the Royal navy, RAF, royal marines and the royal guard are under the Queens command. The British army is under the command of the Government. However the British army rather fight for the Queen. lol and all there allies.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

[324wilson]

Indeed... my grandfather, his brothers, my uncles and so on were all in the army and they made quite sure that they fight for the King/Queen and Country. IN THAT ORDER........... monarch then Country!

[cogidubnus1953]

Good for you...hope you didn't forget to shut the door behind you...goodnight

[jlandles]

I can't wait to visit the UK and see all of this for myself.

[cavaliergaze]

I'd happily keep paying 66p a year in taxes to keep this up. Wonderful ceremony and tradition linking us to our past.

[epicwarriorlegend]

Actually the queen generates alot of money for briton in the way of tourism and many people around the world pay to see the old buildings,stay in local hotels,use local restraunts,, traditions, and british culture we should never forget our roots!!!

[davj292]

In a time of crippling recession in this country, how can the Queen justify the 30 or so million she takes of taxpayers money to jet set around the world? This ceremony only illustrates the amount of money that is spent to show off and protect this outdated institution.

[james1011101]

What is any nation without its olden day traditions and heritatge?

[cheese0muncher]

I friggin love British pomp! Rule Britania!!!!!

[cipher656james]

I live in England and i hate the tourists thinking the soldiers that guard the queen are a joke. Make a move for the queen and they'll kill you before you take your next breath.

[thegclique]

Yeah. But its not just the Guards in the ground, theres MI5 miles away on buildings and Army Helicpoters in the Air, ive seen them before. People in Black uniforms with snipers on builidngs

[GrittyPunk]

Indeed, People forget

These soldiers in uniform and a CEROMONIAL guard

They consider it an honour and a privilidge to be able to guard the queen, But the brits have FULL anti terror and teams of security ALL over the area, you can usally spot them trying to look ordinary

[kingy1812]

@cipher656james Dont Forget They Serve in Places Like Afghan With All The Other Soldiers

[phsjr]

@cipher656james haaa

[viloc70]

@cipher656james  yea and most dont know that they are active soldiers as well

[Spartiatai300]

@cipher656james They would with their swords?

[Solarian2495]

@Spartiatai300

Those lads are soldiers, they would take them down with their /fists/ just as well as the blade

[cptmuska]

@cipher656james yeah cus so many ppl wana kill the stupid queen

[mak34237]

@cptmuska dude calm your ass down and go post your mother with dexterity!!!

[yggdrasil89]

@cipher656james I guess until someone tries to attack, they shall remain as a mysterious and well dressed fleet of guards to the tourists...

[Shinako01]

Stampeed! :P nice video ive always loved the tradition of the Guards.

[white000bear]

Why don't these horses march at the same pace?

[totaldynamix]

I love this tradition & I'm not even English. So be proud. When you don't have any of it anymore & you'll be sorry.

[Holiegrail666]

Be very proud. In the United States we are completely devoid of culture.

[angelpollogol]

united states really dont have culture

[jackforporn]

fuck off

[CarlKingsGirl]

i totally agree wid ya.

[adamswampy]

aoknponte - so don't watch it - you tit.

[shandarr]

what precisely is your contribution to history culture?

[Gazer29]

pretty horses :D

[275149]

lol pretty horses untill they kick your teeth in lol XD

[Morris4beer]

Britain would not have been as successful were it a republic. History tells a tale and I for one never support the constant grab for power and revolutions that republics are faced by. Take Spain, USA, Russia etc. Bloodshed as everyone fought to be in the ruling class. The aristocracy is there to stop that power strugle. If you work hard, you can be prosperous! There is no need to take away the safety net.

[marinello6]

Predatory Elites have always rationalized their oppression by claiming that they are superior and have the Divine Right to Rule when all they really are is a gaggle of ruthless psychopaths parasitically feeding on the host population until their cancerous movement causes the collapse of the host. In the 20th century alone The State is and always has been the number 1 cause of unnatural deaths...150 million in the last century throughout the world.

[troopersemakula]

i would rather see £1 of my tax money going back to British people then going into the hands of people who don't work, people who get free houses payed for by the tax payer, there alot more rubbish which cost more that we pay for, single moms, the dole, people on benifits who never want to work, leave the queen alone they csn not help the position there in pluse the queen has been to war and lived though a lot, unlike the people who live off our tax payers money today.

[troopersemakula]

my last escort before going iraq, am easy to find the last two horsemen in red am the black dude,

[McFrosty2014]

You're a lifeguard?Dude,that's awesome, and something of an achievement. Your parents must be proud!

[mrMash1975]

@troopersemakula thats why your at the back,and at least you turned up.

[mrMash1975]

@troopersemakula are the lifeguard and blues and royals different regiments..or just household cavalery ?

[demonata2]

@mrMash1975 the life guards and the blues and royals are of different regiments both are divided between the Armoured Regiment stationed at Combermere Barracks in Windsor and the ceremonial mounted unit stationed at Knightsbridge Barracks, London

[LewisHamiltonRules]

how many queens do we have? lol

[jason79la]

I'm not even British but why I even respect your Queen enough not to say comments like the ones that some of you say. I'm American but I live in Britain and I think you should be proud of your traditions. Why would you post things so negative? She has been your monarch for about 55 years...maybe you'll miss her when she's gone. People want to visit the UK because of the royal family an all of the pomp and circumstance.

[shakaz01]

yep only a nincompoop would give up such rich traditions.

[Kushanjaya]

Yes, the traditions are so beautiful and Her Majesty the Queen is marvelous person. =)

You can even visit a closer nation for all of this grandeur, Your northern neighbour, Canada, has Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state, and has quite a lot of these traditions, pomp and great celebrations there.

You might want to go on a month that Her Majesty is in Canada. She goes there regularly. She has even opened a Parliament of Canada in her capacity as Queen of Canada.

[Kushanjaya]

*When your in America that is.

Your lucky to live in Britain. =)

All of the nations with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state are stable democracies with great traditions, culture and are ever prospering nations.

[HellwrathUK]

Eat me!

[adamswampy]

rodentlifeofrat - were you on drugs when you wrote that? lol

[Jonny24568]

God Save our Queen!!

[britannicus64]

At the time of the Queen's visit to Germany in 1978, I was 14. It made a deep and lasting impression on me and it turned out that this moment would quite literally change my life. Ever since then, I have been fascinated by everything connected with Great Britain, especially Her Majesty.

Over the past 50 years she has been, and still remains, the best advertisement for her country.I hope the people of the UK preserve this unique and fine institution for the future.

[LewisHamiltonRules]

join our army then, be part of the queens guard, were sohrt on men anyway lol.

[nateg79]

I like the incessant bell ringing... real classy

[nobogroll]

i remember attending this and i got my watch and wallet dipped i think this maybe a wallet scam

[ursad]

God Save The Queen.

[pfd9999]

Her Majesty and her family cost the British taxpayer last than one quid per year and they bring in far greater amounts via tourism revenue. She is a wonderful, beautiful woman who deserves our respect. You all are a bunch of lowlife fools. I would take a King like Charles over a stupid President like George Bush or Bill Clinton any day. God Save the Queen!

[nobogroll]

she sleeps in a golden bed you plonker no ratners swag for the old twat

[shakaz01]

dont all heads of state n govt sleep in good beds?? duh!! check out the white house for starters.. people wud cramble at a chance to sleep in lincoln's room.

[nobogroll]

pot noodles for everyone
