An unidentified Buckingham Palace guardsman is being investigated after video footage emerged of him twirling and walking comically while on duty outside the palace last month.
In the about 200 seconds-clip, the Grenadier Guard – who was on his two-hour shift – appears to deliberately slow down his march for comic effect and at one point he is seen kneeling down to pick something up from the floor.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed that it was investigating the stunt last night (September 2) which is believed to have happened while the Queen was away in Scotland.
