Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A video has captured a Queen’s Guardsman shouting at a tourist who got too close to the gates outside Windsor Castle.
Footage shows a guard shouting “stay away” at an oblivious visitor who is posing for a picture.
The startled man is then seen spinning on the spot and offering a salute to the guard.
The soldier, who is holding a bayonet over his shoulder, closes the gate and joins three other guards as they march towards the castle.
As the guard walks off, the tourist then moves back towards the gate and takes the photo he initially intended to.
It is unclear when the video was filmed but it was uploaded to YouTube earlier this week.
This isn’t the first time a Queen’s Guard has been filmed bellowing at a tourist.
Earlier this year, a solider, believed to be part of the Scots Guard regiment, was heard shouting “get yourself away” at a dancing tourist.
The video was posted to YouTube and almost has one million views.
