'This one yelled "get yersel' away ... Or in Scottish military parlance: "f*** off and turn the camera off". Quite right too.'
Clad in their distinctive tunics and bearskins hats, the soldiers of the Queen’s Guard are charged with protecting official royal residences.
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.
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.
