A surprising video has circulated showing a British king's guard expressing his emotions like any other human, contrasting with the public's expectation of his stoic demeanor. The guard broke down in tears after being surprised by his parents while he was performing his duty. Crowds gathered around the soldier in heavy rain outside Buckingham Palace, taking photos alongside the guard's horse.
As tourists approached to pet the horse's nose, the guard remained still and calm until he spotted his parents in the crowd. His expression changed from shock and joy to tears. The parents moved closer to the horse, which was unfazed as usual, and took pictures with it. They spoke briefly with their son before walking away again.
