Americans At The Queen's Platinum Jubilee - 2022

The Street Sweeper getting the biggest cheers is very on-brand for British humour

I've heard similar in a few other videos where people talk of Guardsmen "breaking character" and it really goes clang with me. They're not "in character" , they are infantry soldiers of the British Army performing ceremonial duties. It's almost as if in some cases people don't actually understand that they are looking at serving soldiers.

The dog was the mascot of the Irish Guards. An Irish Wolfhound called Turlough Mor (pronounced Turlock More). The first and most famous Irish Wolfhound of the Irish Guards was called Brian Boru.

My eldest was one of the guards.streetlining that day. Such a proud parent. Thanks for the footage guys. :)

The footage you get, even though compromised by the 1.5 million people that surrounded you, was amazing. Few will ever be able to top that regarding the royal celebration of our wonderful Queen, seventies years of grace. To capture the protesters, so close to you was incredible luck. In fact you showed a better view of it than the msm managed to capture. Well done! … later the concert was incredible. It’s a shame you couldn’t stay for that. When you was watching the fly past, the Queen was on the Buckingham Palace balcony watching it with you. The amount of history wrapped into that day, you was there, you are now woven into the stories of that historic day. Fantastic ..great work.

Let ne explain the gaps in the parade, The procession from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards (the square where the Trooping takes place) is NOT stru=ictly a parade, The various units for Trooping proceed in their own time to take position for the ceremony. The PARADE is on the way back to the Palace, and there are NO gaps. That happened while you were sitting in the park.

There's something mega-relaxing about watching these London trip videos. A combination of the filming style, the softly spoken narration, and your personalities as you explore.... it's just really pleasant to watch. I think I would enjoy you guys narrating pretty much anything! I hope you enjoyed your trip and thanks for sharing. Love and peace. :)

The regiment trooping its colour that day was the Irish Guards. The dog, an Irish Wolfhound named Seamus, is the regimental mascot.

Everyone cheering the street sweeper, is the best way to sum up the British sense of humour. The police were great at dealing with the protestors...Squish them, Zip tie them and carry them off. No fuss, no bother. ( yes the Gaurds would have deliberately trodden on them given half the chance)

Hearing the comments about the street cleaning truck and all the cheering reminds me of the Trooping of The Colour in 1967. As a member of the REME technical support team attached to 1Bn Coldstream Guards, I took no part in the actual Troop but was detailed to basically be a pair of hands behind the scenes. My duty was to keep the area clean in front of St James' Palace, i.e. to sweep up the horse manure! I couldn't believe the number of people who took photos of me doing that chore. Can't remember if there was any cheering or not. Probably not but I did break protocol afterwards and give them a salute!

Prince Charles, and Princess Anne, both in their 70's, rode from the palace to the Trooping of the Colour. Then they sat on horseback for an hour in the sun with the world watching them during the ceremony, then they rode back to the palace. Much respect.

Well that looked pretty cool. So glad you got to see it irl. And fancy bumping into a fan! That must have been surreal. ✌️

Cheering the road cleaning truck. That's our sense of humour. I thought the police handled the protesters well, never took a gun out or shot anybody, just dragged them away. I'm pleased you enjoyed it. 😊

You managed to capture some historical footage. This day will never be repeated again because a platinum jubilee will never happen again. It will be as historic as the Queens coronation back in June 1953 or any other important date in monarchy and in U.K. Amazing that you were there in person and so close to the action. By the way I recognised each member of royal family as they went by. I guess we are more familiar with them Hope you had a great time!

Best video of the protestors that I have seen. Your own contribution to the historical record, no less. Well done!

It's great your have a great time in our United Kingdom . As a English man I sometimes take for granted the wonders we have . Yes platinum jubilee possible the only one we may have . And yes the protesters well has democratic country everyone as the right to protest but as you noticed not many of and all they got for there trouble is a lot of booing from the crowd . We'll I hope you time here still stays great . John

The "loud banging of the drum" is so soldiers can keep in step and pace. There's also a drumbeat that signals to get ready to halt.

The dog is the regimental mascot of the Irish Guards, whose Colour was trooped. I took part in the youth contingent with my Girl Guides. We were right down by Horse Guards for the parade and then helped to lead the crowd up the Mall for the RAF flypast. We had to stream the parade from the BBC news website as the girls couldn’t see over the tops of the guardsmen, who are usually 6’ tall. We were right by the palace gates for the flypast with all the other youth organisations

<3 <3 Oh! Guys - as a British lady who didn't get to go to this huge event, this was such a treat to see through your eyes. Thank you so much. And because I watch lots of our videos and kind of feel like I know you in some kind of way, albeit through the medium of You Tube, it was like watching it with friends. Loved it - you did such an awesome job of capturing the feel, with the crowds and the pomp and ceremony, the little kids on shoulders waving their little flags and the sea of phones - that alone should be remembered, because after all guys, you have to remember you were a part of history in the making here! 70 years on the throne - wow! Going to watch the next one now. Thank you once again and God bless you. <3 <3
