Armed police forced to step in to warn tourist after he makes Queen’s Guard storm off

The difference here is that instead of getting a talking to from a teacher, the man was stopped by an armed police officer.

The man can be seen crouching down and pretending to kiss in the direction of the guard's groin area – you get the idea.

Eventually he decides enough is enough, the soldier stamps his feet and storms off before an armed officer comes into shot.

"He ruined the picture," jokes the tourist, to which the cop replies, "You shouldn't disrespect him."

That being said, the video has been viewed nearly 14 million times on TikTok, with thousands of people sharing their thoughts on the incident.

"Respect is a thing a lot of people lack these days," wrote one, while another said, "Have some respect for the man he is just doing his job."

A third added, "I would never be able to have the patience."

"These people take things way too seriously," said another, with a third writing, "The guard stomping about in a mood," alongside a laughing face emoji.

Whatever your take on the matter, it's certainly not the first time a sightseer has seriously annoyed one of the King's Guards.

Clearly some people think these well-dressed military types are just playing around, but they are anything but – and like the man mentioned above, this tourist learned the hard way.

Understandably startled by the order, the woman jumps out of her skin, holding her chest as she backs away.

Lesson learned: don't mess with the men in funny outfits.
