Nice how the other guy gives him a hand and dusts him off :)

The boots are ammunition boots with metal toe plates and metal horseshoe shaped heel plates with metal studs not as bad as it sounds they are very comfortable. The bearskin cap with a whicker inner is heavy as is the tunic and the trousers known as 'tweeds'. The NCO assisting him has two chevrons he is a Lance Corporal (line regiments wear one). Nobody whatever rank would have 'screamed their heads off in public.

Holy crap that could have ended badly!

Good thing they took the Camera away from Michael J Fox, @ 00:24.

What I like about this is the fact that the superior immediatly helped him up making sure he was ok rather than screaming his head off at him like some high rank gaurds might have done.

That was unreal...the Guard's feet just had no grip at all..if it was icy, that explains a lot. Steel hobnails slip ..horses shod with steel also slip, hence the laying of sand over slippery parts of the road for Royal processions, to help prevent this. Luckily the Guard was ok...even ordinary people who slip or trip in the street go red, and try to recover their dignity..I slipped over in public and it is really embarrassing, as well as painful.

they were walking on pure ice, what do you expect. watch their feet from the beginning of the video.

Ah I feel this guys pain, i've worn boots similar to what he's wearing (the old 30s/40s version) so they're hobnailed... and having walked on a slippery surface with them on and falling over in front of people, it don't half hurt and gets you embarrassed... still looks like he kept together! Well done to him :)

Uuufff, this bayonet was closely together of his face.

Right then! Who's been polishing the pavement with banana peels?
These guards put up with alot. Those hats weigh alot, the coats are hot in the sun, its even worse if it rains (added weight), stood there for hours, some douchey tourists make fun of them for being so serious and marching, they serve in afgan, they have to deal with shoes that have no grip on the type of flooring...You got to hand it to them they do their best lol
