Positive Police Presence on Magnificent Mount in London, England

Our South Australian Mounted Police do an incredible job. However, they don't have to deal with the hundreds of thousands of people like the Mounted Police in London do.

For a person from a city of about a million people, Adelaide, South Australia, the millions of people in London are overwhelming. Nevertheless, in all that seeming chaos, there is order, British order, and outside Buckingham Palace, crowd management is essential. Obviously, the Mounted Police play an important role in controlling tourists and locals alike.

As with our South Australian Mounted Police, this officer looks as though he loves his job and his horse. It must be a great feeling to have a job where you get the best view overlooking the crowd, particularly when it's changing the guard at Buckingham Palace.


If you zoom in on the photo, you'll see the horse is looking right at the woman with the camera. I'm sure it's saying "Hurry up, lady, I've got a job to do. I can't stand around posing all day for tourists you know!"
