A marching Queen's Guard shoved a tourist who stood in his way during a drill outside Windsor Castle. Footage of the incident shows the woman, who appears to be posing for a photograph, being shoved almost to the floor as the soldier approaches her from behind. The woman, dressed in yellow, can be seen stood directly in the path of the guard, before quickly being pushed to one side. The Guard then continues his drill while crowds look on from behind a rope. As the woman nearly plummets to the floor, she screams and looks horrified at the Guard's actions. The Queen's Guards are in place to protect official royal residences throughout the UK. Attracting thousands of tourists every year, they wear tradition red and black uniforms, complete with bearskin hats. The Guards consist of five infantry regiments, including the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards as well as two regiments of the Household Cavalry – the Life Guards and Blues and Royals. It's thought the Queen's Guard's are trained in how to deal with tourists and how to respond to those who get a little too close. While usually the Guard's are poised and silent, occasionally they break rank to advise tourists to keep their distance. It's thought pointing a rifle at someone who has come too close is served as a final warning, reports The Sun. Last year a Guard at Windsor Castle was filmed screaming at a man who got too close while attempting to capture the perfect camera shot. The man was snapping the parading soldiers outside Windsor Castle, when things took a dramatic turn. As he prepared to pose for a picture, the Guardsman suddenly bellows: "STAY AWAY" in front of a stunned group of onlookers. Clearly alarmed by the telling off, the tourist then spins on his heels and begins to salute the guardsman by way of an apology. The opening of the clip shows four guardsmen can be seen parading through the grounds of the British landmark. Mirror Online approached the Ministry of Defence for comment. A spokesman told The Sun: “The Household Division is proud to guard Her Majesty and honoured that people come from around the world to watch our ceremonial spectacle. "The ropes are there to protect both the public and our soldiers; please stay behind them.”
