Buckingham Palace is one of the great attractions for tourists visiting the United Kingdom, with its history and architecture perfect for making the best memories. However, around it are a series of signs warning that it is dangerous to get too close to the horses of the Royal Guard and Knights of the Crown. Despite the warnings, many visitors do not pay attention and exceed the permitted limits. Many are even very surprised to see the reaction of the guards who take their work seriously.

Social networks have become a communication channel where situations of this kind often spread. On this occasion, a group of tourists violated the rules indicated on the palace signs and were met with a violent response.
The Royal Guard maintains its seriousness and position for long hours during the watch shift, something similar to what happens with the Horse Grenadiers in our country, who guard the shrine of General José de San Martín in the Metropolitan Cathedral. In the case of the British, many tourists like to make fun of the guards who stand still like statues and only react if someone breaks a rule.
On this occasion, a group of tourists approached the site of one of the royal guards to try to make him move or say something. It should be noted that while they are on guard duty, they do not move at all… except when they have to.
