Not particularly.

Especially Brits who are fabulous at queuing.

Well it turned out to be far too much for one elderly guard unfortunately, how embarrassing for him!

He wasn’t in the queue.

Are you bored now and just going to troll this thread?

It was an unfortunate incident that happened to an elderly guard.

Rather he was in the queue or not is not that important.

I felt bad for the elderly Gent didn't you?

Yes, it was me who brought it to your attention.
But he wasn’t in the queue and didn’t faint because of queuing.

Thank you for that information.

Perhaps he had other medical issues.

I think standing there for hours at a time would be difficult not moving a muscle!
I don't know that I could do it, could you?

The guard changes every 20 minutes.

Well that had nothing to do with my question, but appreciate the information.

I had heard something about they changed every 20 minutes.

Try McDonald's much better.

Did you see the video Dive showed of the elderly guard who fainted, terrible!

Yes, it must have been a terrible embarrassing moment for him.

As I said Younger Men in Top physical condition would be best suited for that duty.
I just hope it wasn't too serious. Did you notice the stagger he took then got his balance back stood up straight, then fell forward. AS you said a face plant, the guy behind was going to help then pulled his arm back as it must be against protocol.
