Two tourists were met with a harsh reaction from a member of the King's Guard after they tried to grab the reins of his horse while posing for a photograph.

Two tourists were left shocked after provoking a strong reaction from the Royal Guards at Horse Guards Parade in London.

In the first incident, a man attempted to grab the reins of a soldier's horse while posing for a photo, forcing the usually silent guard to shout "Get out!"

In another case, a woman did the same thing, receiving a stern warning: "Don't grab the reins!"

When she didn't back down, the guard moved his horse forward, scaring her.

Earlier this month, another tourist was reprimanded after disturbing a horse by waving a tent, leading to the intervention of guards.

Authorities continue to remind visitors to respect animals and follow safety rules when visiting this popular attraction. /Telegraph/
