People often forget that these Guardsmen are serving soldiers who go on operational tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, cover when fire fighters go on strike and provided support during the culling of BSE-infected animals just like any other solider. They deserve more respect than a silly tourist mocking them.

even while on ceremonial duties they are still soldiers on duty guard and carry loaded weapons,they don'y have to put up with silly asholes such as this trying to take the micky out of them.
A slap around the head with a rifle butt might have given the ashole something more serious to complain about.

Yes I can understand the soldiers point of view. But you must keep to your code just put up with for 5 minutes and than that guy will be gone and you'll forget about it the next day. Theses guys have a reputation and its always some tourist that tries and ruin that reputatioin, and lucky for that tourist he did. Luckily this is a small story and only happened to 2 people rather than in front of a huge crowd, than they would demand for punishment
