users have branded a London guard "out of order" after a video went viral of a child being knocked over.shriek as the guard collides with the young boy - said to be a tourist - before continuing to walk on despite the boy falling to the ground.
Their primary purpose is to protect the Sovereign, however they also carry out many ceremonial duties, for example at the Queen's birthday parade, also known as 'Trooping the Colour'.The guards at Buckingham Palace and St James Palace are on duty for 24 or 48 hours. During that time, a guard will have two hours on sentry duty and then four hours off.
The first way they do this is by coming to attention, as the crash of a studded ammo boot striking concrete, is a good way to grab attention, and this is usually accompanied by a shout of 'stand back from the guard' or something similar. This is considered the final warning and the next step would be for the sentry to either detain the person or seek assistance.Please don't stand in the way of the Guards as they will not stop or march around people who are impeding their progress. The usual warning they shout out if someone is in the way is 'Make way for the Queen's Guard'.
Oosh! While clearly taking efforts to avoid stomping on the child, surely, this is behaviour improper to a member of the QG?
A guard knocking a child over is a first for me to see go viral so don't get heated by this as it may of been an honest mistake maybe the guard didn't see the child.
itvnews They should have moved the child they are working soldiers and it not their job to move from the route they take all that hurt is the kids pride and as the media reported the soldier went back after to check the lad was ok which he was
itvnews Shite parents However 100% out of order. A verbal halt and resume to his colleague should have received praise and admiration.
That kid was in the middle of soldiers rout, sorry boy. He learned a lesson today, stand up and move out of the way!!!
Hahaha lol , come on it's not a big deal. Just move on boy, he just learned a lesson today. You're making a show cause the boy is black African.
Total lack of common sense , maybe deviate from your path slightly or slow down? The queens guards. Lol..
This is pure heart of wickedness, l don't blame Harry & Megan. The guard is mental, he needs urgent attention of a psychiatrist
itvnews I don’t that was the guards route and duty. Should have kept the child out of the way and in control. It was disrespectful. At least after he checked to see if the boy was ok
I find it depressingly not-shocking that so many in this thread believe that all parents have instantaneous control of all of their children as if they are property. BoJo doesn't even know how many kids he has.
Bloody brilliant… isn’t that all part of the attraction?
itvnews Well done, stop for no one
itvnews The mother should have kept the child out of the way
He should be sacked
These soldiers are in strict training. The child should not have been in the way, I think the soldiers did care but they were doing the right thing. People, will also find anything to start an argument, blame is the thing instead of taking own responsibility
Looks like some parents need educating.
Have they? Most comments I've seen even on the Yahoo FB Idiot page have been on the guardsman's side and less than complimentary about the parents. Check the comments to your post here. One troll for the kid, the rest not.
Where's parental control or supervision to keep him out of the way ?
itvnews Asking again. Where were the child's parents or guardians. And no, we should not expect long standing traditions to be stopped.
Some of these parents don’t know how to control their children. And their careless irresponsible attitude could get their child killed. The guard is on duty. I wouldn’t expect him to stop and pick up the child. If you were a responsible parent this wouldn’t have happened.
itvnews Get the kid out of the way end of !!
itvnews Not the guards fault. The child was in the way, the parent should have got him out of the way. Also news on TV said the guard went back to check on the child after the incident.
Come on give the sodier his due what else could he do, the kid ran under him. Maybe the parent should ve keeping an eye in the kids. Always someone else's fault.
itvnews They don’t stop for anybody, never have
Typical. Had been a little white girl, comments on this video would be very different. Based on the type of comments left, you can get a real insight on people with racist tendencies. No child/adult should be trampled on by the Queens guard when there’s no threat or emergency.
itvnews Is that because your coverage shows half a story?
As someone who did a lot of 'ma'harchn hup 'n' down the square', when a kid/dog/ or whatever is in the way, by the time one has noticed, it's often too late. This gaurd did the one legged high step, but as always the little buggers keep moving!
itvnews It’s the Army , he got in the way. It’s bad parents not keeping him under control to blame
itvnews interest where kid is till to late...lot of it about..no point blaming the soldier. Your in charge of your kid... Not him..see it everyday kids running around Mon no interest..
This'll do wonders for London's struggling tourist industry. 😒
Listen, you get in the way of the Queen's Guards your asking for trouble, they don't move for you, you have to move out of the way for them and if you don't then you have a problem, and another problem putting the blame on the Guard.
itvnews If that kid kid had just stood still in the middle of it would have simply spelt T I T.
Is it not the the parents who are out of order? Supervise your children.
itvnews Don’t stand in the way of the Queens guards 💂
What was that?😳
Parents, keep an eye on your kids. Now who here has a favourite cheese?
itvnews You reap what you sow….
Where is BLM
itvnews Should be sacked, stupid out off date tradition
Bit harsh but everyone knows they do not stop for anyone.
Load of tosh !
I bet he's gutted 🤣
itvnews Kid shouldn't have been in the way....what is wrong with people. He's marching a route he always gas done. Where were parents..🤔👎
itvnews 😂
The child ran into their path, he wasn’t hurt and was checked by the soldier in question. Parent should have made sure the child stood with them
itvnews Breeder doesn’t control their spawn but it’s the guards fault for doing his job! 🙄
itvnews I Support the Queens Guard 💂♀️well done sir !
ITV, since when has the response of social media users been a story? Of course there are numnuts think this is out of order. There are also idiots on social media who don’t want to get vaxxed. It’s a zoo out there but very little is newsworthy
itvnews Not the social media I have read, kids fault no fault of the Queens Guard.
itvnews Where was his parent these patrols are regular and with warning… note to his parents keep an eye on your child! The parents at fault not the guard 🤷♀️
itvnews When near a royal residency Rule number one ..keep out of the guards way...they care not who or what is in way
Stupid little brat should've got out of the way 😂
Unlucky....DONT GET IN THE QUEENS GUARD WAY.... SIMPLES....oh and control your child THEY are YOUR responsibility....
Haha that’s jokes just busting right through the kid 😂😂😂😂
And the person in charge of the child? Too busy looking on social media perhaps.
It's the kids own fault ? He shouldn't of been showing off trying to be a smart cnt..he was interfering with a royal guard and he should be punished,I'd of kckd his behind for getting in my way little cnt. and it just had to be a blm kid 🤣 they'll accuse him now of racism 😆
itvnews The rules are there.. but t where were the parents !!
Parental control?, lack of respect for authority by parents? Sums up society IMO
itvnews Should of got out the way stop making a Mountain out of a mole hill Quite surprised it wasn’t a racist attack
itvnews Has the child been arrested for impending one of HM's Grenadiers ?
Hey I think it is highly commendable that the guard kept in step. True mark of a Guardsman 'Make Way' Also you forgot to show the rest of the clip where the Guards come back and ask if the little rat was OK. ITV you have fallen from grace
itvnews Don’t get in the way, don’t mess with the Gaurds. Parents are to blame for not controlling kid.
itvnews Step in front of a soldier with a gun in most countries and its ending worse than a sore bum, what's the lads mum thinking about.
itvnews he shouldn't have been in the way
itvnews Sorry that the child got knocked down but why is he in the route of the soldiers marching. Most people would have gotten out of the way! Perhaps a lesson learnt... The guards were not out of order!
itvnews No, some social media users, most couldn't give a toss as clearly the child is not hurt in anyway.
itvnews Parents responsibility to control their children, especially so in public.
itvnews Everyone knows the guards don't stop. Why put your child in that situation 🤔. Muppit
itvnews The woman should have had more control on her child
itvnews The guy was obviously trying to avoid stepping on the kid. Keep him out of the way, it’s not that difficult
itvnews How about parents take some responsibility and control their kids. The guards are not a tourist attraction they're there to do a job
itvnews Shouting a warning doesn’t give you the right to assault anyone.
itvnews I think the parents should have kept them out of the way. Such a big Whingeing world, it's like driving wrongly on a one way street and blaming car driver hitting you.
itvnews Looks like not all 'social media users' agree
itvnews Social media users have also come out in support of the soldier. Non-story.
itvnews For all the dickheads saying the kid should have moved… THEY ARE KIDS, they screw up ALL THE DAM TIME, that’s their defining characteristic.
Not the slack parents with no thought that their child was clearly in the way then ?
Don't blame the guards, blame stupid parents.
itvnews The kid got in the way. Where was parental control ?
itvnews You can’t contain that your kid gets hit by a train if you leave them playing unsupervised on the tracks. Poor parenting at its finest.
