The scene of "harmony between humans and animals" took place in the center of London, when a large number of tourists gathered outside the famous St. James's Palace to take photos. There have been many incidents of horses biting people in the area before, and a Chinese female tourist was even bitten to the point of fainting. The King's Guard also issued a warning, reminding tourists not to approach horses or touch the reins easily. Usually these King's Guards do not interact with tourists, which gives people the impression that "the horses of the King's Guards are not friendly."
However, in this video shot on the 6th, the King's Guards and horses behaved very "gentle" - they took the initiative to approach a young lady in a wheelchair, and the black horse nodded to the lady, instantly making her laugh. The horse then rubbed the tourist's arm with its nose, and finally returned to its original position under the guidance of the guards, which surprised the tourists around. This rare scene quickly became popular on the Internet, because the warm picture presented in the camera was in sharp contrast to the previous incident of tourists being "bitten" by horses. Netizens praised the guards for their sympathy and respect, and the horses for their wisdom and spirituality. "I have seen the King's Guards a hundred times. Usually they are not moved by anyone at all, they are just doing their duties." "The King's Guards showed kindness this time. For this young lady, this is an unforgettable experience and memory in her life." (Luc)
