Tourists pose nonstop challenges to the Household Cavalry on ceremonial duty at Horse Guards. Guards endure verbal taunts and physical antics from visitors, including raffish camera poses, pranks and coins stuffed into boots, with tips totaling about three dollars per off duty return.
A guardsman recalls finding nearly 45 in small change tucked into his boots years ago when a Sentry relic story mentions a rare reaction from a guardsman and a past incident with a lady tourist.
A crowd watched a royal guardsman pretend to mirror the queen’s guard routine. After a spectator stepped on the sentry’s toe, the court martial sentenced the trooper to ten days in the brig with loss of pay and a bad mark. Rumor says guards may move inside gates, though men resist retreat in the face of an enemy.
