They are known for their distinctive uniforms of red tunics and bearskin hats. The units, manned by fully-trained, serving soldiers, have more than 350 years of history and have defended monarchs since Charles II took the throne after the English Restoration in 1660. The Guards consist of five infantry regiments – the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards – and two regiments of the Household Cavalry – the Life Guards and Blues and Royals. Most of the Guards will have seen action overseas. 4 The tourist then moved to the side of the rope to avoid blocking the soldier There are thought to be guidelines in place for guardsmen to deal with nuisances, which begins with stamping their feet and shouting. Raising a rifle is considered a 'final warning', after which the guardsmen is allowed to detain the person in question. The Ministry of Defence couldn't confirm exactly when the incident took place but a spokesman told The Sun Online: “The Household Division is proud to guard Her Majesty and honoured that people come from around the world to watch our ceremonial spectacle. "The ropes are there to protect both the public and our soldiers; please stay behind them.” In 2015, a soldier was forced to turn his rifle on a tourist who grabbed him outside Windsor Castle. To giggles from his friends, the Asian man marched alongside the serviceman and placed his hand on the soldier’s shoulder. But the soldier suddenly spun round and pointed his weapon at the tourist, shouting: “Get back from the Queen’s Guard!” MOST READ IN NEWS 'GOBSMACKED' Queen 'gave Harry OK for Oprah series after misleading pitch about soldiers' ROD LIDDLE Ousting right-on National Trust boss is a victory against wokery DRUMMER DEAD School Of Rock star dies at 32 after being hit by car as Jack Black mourns HOUSE ABOUT IT You won't believe what this ordinary London home looks like on the inside Exclusive TOM'S LEGACY Captain Tom Moore — who raised £39m for charity — left family £73k in will JABS HOPE Scientists 'crack cause of blood clots linked to Covid jabs & know how to fix it' Last year a Queen’s Guard yelled at a sightseer who got too close to him while posing for a picture at Windsor Castle.

A marching Queen's Guard shoved a tourist who stood in his way during a drill outside Windsor Castle. Footage of the incident shows the woman, who appears to be posing for a photograph, being shoved almost to the floor as the soldier approaches her from behind. The woman, dressed in yellow, can be seen stood directly in the path of the guard, before quickly being pushed to one side. The Guard then continues his drill while crowds look on from behind a rope. According to an Army spokesman, the woman was told four times to stop interrupting the soldier in his duties after she touched his arm, rifle and bearskin hat. As the woman nearly falls forward, she screams and looks horrified at the Guard's actions. The Queen's Guards are in place to protect official royal residences throughout the UK.

The Guards consist of five infantry regiments, including the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards as well as two regiments of the Household Cavalry – the Life Guards and Blues and Royals. It's thought the Queen's Guard's are trained in how to deal with tourists and how to respond to those who get a little too close. While usually the Guard's are poised and silent, occasionally they break rank to advise tourists to keep their distance. It's thought pointing a rifle at someone who has come too close is served as a final warning, reports The Sun. (Image: @QuickTempaa/Twitter) (Image: @QuickTempaa/Twitter) An Army spokesman said: "This woman had touched the soldier's arm, she had touched his rifle and touched his bearskin hat. "The Guard came out and put a rope across. The Windsor Castle staff also came out and asked her to be more respecful. "This was a set up and she was warned four times. "The serious issue here is security. What are we supposed to do when people start doing these things? "What if it was a terrorist?"
