A guard outside St James's Palace attacked a tourist who was copying his distinctive marching actions, it was revealed today.
The Guardsman, who is supposed never to leave his post unless there is a threat to a member of the royal family, was provoked into lunging at tourist Nick Ibarra, clipping him around the head and aiming a kick at him.
It is understood the guard now faces the prospect of a 'dressing down' from his superiors.
When you stag on for that length of time and you are constantly getting it from the public, it's only time before you start getting pi$$ed off with it.
There's no respect for our boys.

If they're there to protect the queen, doesn't that mean from harassment as well? in which case he had every right to detain the tw*t

these guardsman are thought of as the best cerimonial guards in the world, formost in that respect is their dicipline, the guardsman in question should have kept his cool, and ignored the idiot, because that's all he was, not a threat to the Royal Family just an idiot.

He should have ignored the clown, just as we had to on the picket line.
But I bet the student twat won't try it again, nor will his 'MS' (ugly) girlfriend.
