A tourist hurtled to the pavement outside Buckingham Palace after she was seemingly headbutted by a King’s Guard horse – but not everyone watching is convinced.
HOW IT STARTED
A curly-haired woman standing and smiling next to a black horse as she poses for photos before the horse nudges her.
The woman then dramatically falls to the pavement, landing face down as her bag flies out away from her and a gathered crowd lets out a concerned ‘ooh’.
The shocked sight-seer then lays on the floor for a few moments as worried onlookers rush to her side.
Two men gently help the woman up and she pauses on her knees before a third man comes over to help her back on to her feet.
ABOUT THE KING’S GUARD
The King’s Guard are generally not allowed to interact with the public, but may shout if they get too close or present their bayonets if they become aggressive.
The soldiers must not let anything distract them from their duties – with toilet breaks banned during two hour shifts – and will march through anyone in their way.
