Viral video proves Queen's Guard doesn't stop for anything

Queen's guards trample tourists

The Queen's Guard won't stop for anything, or anyone.

A video of the British guards marching straight into an oblivious tourist went viral this week -- just a week after a saluting soldier was caught on video accidentally smacking a 6-year-old girl in the face, knocking off her hat.

A video of the incident was posted to YouTube on Monday, and it has already received more than 2 million views.

"You better be on your guard when the Queen's Guards are coming through, these guys aren't stopping for anything!" YouTube user Steven Macaulay wrote.

One of the soldiers can even be heard yelling, "Make way!" But the tourist and his apparent wife, holding onto a camera, don't budge.

Some viewers admired the soldiers for following the rules, while others criticized the group.

"Got to admire their strict discipline," one user posted.

"Thing is though, shouting 'make way' after you trample on someone isn't really going to do much good, is it?" another user asked. "Maybe give him some warning before you ram into him?"

There's at least one lesson you can take away from the video: never get in a British soldier's way.
