Oops! British Military Guard Faints
It cannot be easy wearing those heavy red uniforms and tall hats all day. The British military is known for their iconic guards and strict discipline — which is in part what makes this photo so memorable. In order to keep moments like these from happening, the military teaches the soldiers to keep legs bent so circulation can continue.
Unfortunately for this soldier, things didn’t go as planned and he fainted at a seriously inopportune time. Just as Queen Elizabeth II is passing he goes down, making this photo one to remember. Do you remember seeing this iconic and striking photo in 1970?
