We’ve all taken a tumble at work, but for this poor lad, it happened to be caught on camera. And he also happens to be a Queen’s Guard standing outside Buckingham Palace!
The fall took place during the daily Changing of the Guard, which normally happens at 11.30am.
Caught on camera by just one of the very many tourists who had come to watch the Royal switch, onlooker David Meadwell told telegraph.co.uk, ‘I didn’t expect anything like this to happen – he went flying.
‘There were quite a few people around and there were a lot of gasps as he went down.’
Poor fellow! We have to admire his composure, however, the young man picked himself up straight away, successfully supressing both a grimace and giggle.
