4 oclock punishment parade September 2023 #thekingsguard

This is from the Dismounting Ceremony at Horse Guards. years ago Queen Victoria caught the entire Guard drinking on duty so she punished them with a daily inspection to make sure they were behaving themselves. This was back in 1894 when every dress she had was black, every hat she had was black, and all of her moods were black as well – nobody messed with her in those days. The 100-year punishment was supposed to have expired in 1994 but our current queen kindly decided that they’d have to carry on with it for all eternity. So let that be a lesson to you: no drinking on duty! thekingsguard #horseguardsparade #armedforces #buckinghampalace #toweroflondon #london #thequeensguard #windsorcastle #metpolice #troopingthecolour #thekingsguard
