A Coldstream Guards Horse Guard experienced an unexpected medical problem at a ceremony on Thursday.
On May 29, a spectacular occurrence occurred at the Brigade Major's Review at the Parade in London, overshadowing the Horse Guards' accuracy and pride for a brief while.
During a march in the blazing heat, the guard collapsed. He was transported to the hospital. The event occurred during the ceremonial march, when the Brigade Major inspected over 1,000 men and over 200 horses from the Household Division.
In March, a member of the Irish Guards seemed to nearly faint in a social media video. The soldier, dressed in full ceremonial costume, can be seen nearly losing his balance, swaying backwards and forwards before being apprehended by another guard.
The fall of Buckingham Palace guards due to heat raised concerns, reminding us of the physical demands and obstacles that individuals in ceremonial jobs endure.
