  1. Me says:

    THIS is why you don’t lock your knees while standing at attention. hehe

  2. Anonymous says:

    It’s the darn furry caps they’re forced to wear…no ventilation, whatsoever.

  3. Anon says:

    He must have gotten overheated…. poor thing. :P

  4. Faenor says:

    Excellent bearing on the rest of em. Not a one broke ranks to help him. Peck of bastards, lol.

  5. Matt says:

    LETS HEAR IT FOR THE BRITISH!… lul

  6. jluve82 says:

    heat stroke, I has it…

  7. FAILEER says:

    He’s been sniped! lol

  8. MaskedMan says:

    As ‘Me’ says: Locked knees for teh Fail.

    Tradition is a powerful thing – Everyone remains in ranks until dismissed, whereupon the fainted soldier will be collected.

  9. jane says:

    what! you mean they just leave him there till they are dismissed?

    • bex says:

      I was talking to my brothers OC the other day about what happens if someone passes out on the parade square. He said there is always people waiting at the sides with stretchers, and they will run on and quickly take them away. The other soldiers are not allowed to break ranks for any reason…plus the beasting they would get for doing it just isn’t worth it!

  10. Scott A says:

    The Palace Guard have some very interesting protocols.

    But if you watch closely during a changing of the guard, you’ll see a guy at the back with a set of boxes. >.> The boxes are full of firearms, ammo, grenades, etc, in case the Palace is attacked during the ceremony.

    Seriously.

  11. gammer says:

    Not photoshopped, happens at times, the guards are parading and they get hot, some faint.

    Has happened live on tv at times.

  12. soddinnutter says:

    I see the queens speach has claimed another victim.

  13. C CC says:

    heat prostration WIN

  14. J says:

    HEATSTROKE WIN!!!

  15. proteus says:

    late night of drinking WIN

  16. Fwee. says:

    I literally just went ‘BAHAHAHA!’
    Niiice.

  17. googles49 says:

    oh no lol on rememberance day the parade master forgot to call at ease before the first song started so there we were in the freezing rain standing at attention for a stupid amount of time…grr four cadets and a veteren fainted on the right turn lol but these guys actually signed up for it so minimum sympathy!

    The reason no one helped is because if they did break rank they’d all look like a bag of w***, instead it’s just him :P

  18. Joeythegrape says:

    Win tbh. they would have punished him more if he moved. good on him.

  19. nomdunchien says:

    And nobody will help this guy until the parade is over. He could be dying of heart attack.

    • :P says:

      I must ask, what is ‘heat attack’? All I know of is heat stroke and exhaustion. The more likely result was from locking his knees for too long. The fact that he fell straight backwards and his body, especialy his legs, are still in attention helps verify that. Heat could have been a factor, but if he had fainted from the heat, he would have fallen in a lump/pile and not stiff as a board.

  20. Kohdok says:

    If 50’s movies are any indication, he’s pregnant.

  21. Macscotts says:

    Has to be said……..Sucks to be him.

  22. RSM says:

    Actually, I’d say that was a win… That chap and his colleagues are doing exactly what they should be. Good drills to the lad the he collapsed in such a straight line.

  23. Anonymous says:

    The guy next to him totoally tripped his ass. and if we could see his face, it would just have this HUGE grin on it. Win for that guy.

  24. lfjlkdsjf says:

    Whoops >.<

  25. inga says:

    I don’t know what they do in Britain but i do know what they do in America. They have people on stand by to pick up people who faint in ranks. However this is a common occurance as people do not listen to thier instructors and lock thier knees and subsequently pass out. Some people even recover and return to ranks.

    (yes I know I can’t spell)

  26. Edyscape says:

    its a fake picture.

    ===================================================
    Hey, did you notice that Joker is Poker with a J?

  27. Matt says:

    thats an epic fail.

  28. Ronnel says:

    Sadly, this isn’t a fake picture… on Veteran’s day, one of our flag bearers did the same thing. In the middle of the speech, he passed out and fell just like this poor soul did. Luckily, our SgtMaj caught the colors before they touched the dirt, and we carried the poor guy off to one side to recover. Locking knees…. very bad news when you stand at attention, or even at rest, for hours on end.

  29. josh says:

    poor guy must be knackered, havin’ a kip mid-ceremony.
    would have been a massive WIN if he’d fell forwards…. watch them dominoes go!

  30. solo piano says:

    boycott of the queen?
