Tower of London guards
Imagine these guys being armed with automatic rifles lol.
shareI'm pretty sure they are real soldiers with real weapons doing that job.
shareThey are, but all at the end of their career. At least that was my impression from a documentary I watched couple of years ago, all around 30-50yo.
shareYou’re probably thinking of the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) who are mostly old men: https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2015/11/21/15/beefeater.jpg
The ones shown in the movie with automatic rifles are regular army regiments (Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards and Welsh Guards): https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b6/fd/ea/b6fdeafaafee36fa4296b42946ff61c2--tower-of-london-the-tower.jpg
