A QUEEN’S guardsman saw red when a giggling student took the mickey out of him outside a royal palace by mimicking his actions - and went on the ATTACK.
Columbian student Nick Ibarra, 23, began larking about for pal Suzanne Cadosch, 22, who was videoing the armed guard on duty in his bearskin and red tunic.
As the guardsman marched up and down as he stood sentry duty outside St James Palace in front of dozens of tourists, laughing Nick marched alongside him.
He had heard that the famed royal guards never leave their post unless a threat to the royals presents itself.
But he got the shock of his life when this one lost his cool and quick marched over to him and clipped him round the back of the head and aimed a boot at him.
Then according to Nick he pushed him away with his SA-80 semi automatic rifle while letting out a furious roar.
Unfortunately Nick’s student pal Suzanne was so shocked and scared she stopped videoing the soldier’s attack.
She said:”I just thought “Oh My God” he’s got a gun and he’s going for Nick and he grabbed him and tried to boot him and we were so shocked we just ran away fast.
“You often see people pulling faces at the guards and standing beside them for photo’s and marching along with them but obviously this soldier didn’t find it funny.
“In hindsight I can understand the soldier losing his cool but it was very frightening indeed” she said.
Nick, who is studying English in Oxford, Oxon, said: ”I felt this huge hand on my collar and managed to avoid a boot up the backside but he was growling like a bear.
“I was worried because he had a bayonet on his gun and didn’t want that going somewhere painful! He pushed me away with the gun and I just ran for it”, he said.
The guardsman was on sentry duty at St James Palace which is the senior Palace of the Sovereign and is where the Princess Royal and Princess Alexandra reside.
The St Jame’s Detatchment of The Queen’s Guard mounts sentry duty there daily and Clarence House where Prince Charles and his sons live is within St James’s environs.
A Queen’s guardsman, on being shown the video, said: ”On one hand you can understand him wanting to put a hobnailed size 12 up the guy’s backside for taking the p**s.
“But on the other hand he will be in hot water for losing his cool when he should have ignored it. He should have gone back into his sentry box and just stood guard.
“But he will no doubt feel very satisfied at putting this oik to flight”, he said.

Well done that Soldier. Civvy pee-taking scum"Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed." Booker T. Washington

Lots of people like to have photos taken with a Guardsman in the background as a memento of their visit to London, perfectly acceptable. What is not acceptable is the public taking the mickey out a soldier who is doing his ceremonial duty protecting the Royal family. It is time that tourist guides to the Capital City highlighted what is allowed and what is not allowed.0

To balance things out, here's a nice video of some American's trying to find out how to get one of our guards to laugh....

True, but the Guardsman should have been professional enough to ignore it. Suppose he'd had the same loss of control out in NI or the sandpit? I suspect the outcome would have been a lot worse than staring on youtube & an interview without coffee.0 -
good on the pongo not enough respect for the forces.0

Aren't these soldiers also on active tours of duty in Afghanistan and such?
I think he has most people's sympathy with this.0 -
Loved to have seen that.
So wrong but so right.
Good lad :T:T
Suppose he will be putting in a claim for compensation now for hurt feelings or something.0 -
