Woman reacts furiously to King's Guard 'pushing' her out of the way after claiming she has 'broken arm'
A woman has divided people online after getting in the way of a King's Guard.
It's a well established fact by now that if you're in their way or getting much too close to them then a member of the King's Guard will yell at you to make way and physically move you if you don't.
They're a popular tourist attraction as they carry out their duties of protecting the gates of St James's Palace and Buckingham Palace - but they've got a job to do and they don't want people getting in the way of that.

Usually formed from one of the five regiments of foot guards - the Irish Guards, Welsh Guards, Scots Guards, Coldstream Guards and Grenadier Guards - they are highly trained and experienced soldiers who are not there to be props for tourists wanting photos.
Plenty of people have learned the hard way that staying back and not bothering them too much would have been the wiser course of action.
If there's a disturbance the police will often step in and attempt to resolve the situation, guiding the individual away from the King's Guard.
This likely isn't going to stop any time soon and there's been another incident after a woman said she was pushed by one of the King's Guard and pushed back with a can of Pringles.
She was filmed standing near a King's Guard on a horse while another was walking around, before finding herself in his path.
He barks at her to 'make way' and as she moves out of the way there appears to be contact, with the woman saying 'don't push me d**khead' and seemingly pushing back with what appears to be a tube of salt and vinegar Pringles.
As the soldier continues to walk away someone says 'she just hit a guard', while the woman asks the crowd around her 'did you see that' and 'is that alright with you lot'.
It seemed to be alright with most people as some in the crowd murmured 'yeah' as she said 'I've got a broken arm and I moved'.
A police officer then came over to sort out the situation, which has left people who've seen the video split on whether she was right or wrong.
One person said they 'can't believe she wasn't arrested' while another wondered if her arm really was broken as she appeared to be able to move both of them throughout the video.
A third said 'everyone knows' what would happen if you got in the way of the King's Guard and someone else said 'she hits the guard'.
However, others wondered why the King's Guard 'always charge about like Mr Angrys'.
Meanwhile, another commenter was tackling the real issue by saying 'BBQ Pringles much nicer'.
