The guards outside Buckingham Palace are known for their incredible bearing, often standing for hours of post with nary a flinch.
But a recently discovered video uploaded to YouTube last month shows a lighter side to the Queen's Guards, as an unidentified soldier was filmed by tourists showing off some funky dance moves as he walked his post.
The video, which was uploaded Aug. 20, came with the caption: "Will Her Majesty be amused. A Buckingham Palace guardsman misbehaves on duty while The Queen is on holiday. His senior officer might be having a chat with him later…"
Her Majesty may, or may not, be amused. But the British Army sure isn't. According to The Guardian, the soldier is under investigation for the stunt. "We are aware of the video. Anyone who is found to fall short of the army's high standards can expect to face appropriate action," a spokesman told the paper.
The nearly 3:30 clip shows the soldier walking outside the Queen's palace along a wall near his sentry box, sometimes stopping to pick things up, at other times stopping with his foot in mid-air for a few seconds. At a couple of points, he even does some pirouettes, and tourists watching are quite amused.
"Have you seen them do that before?" a tourist asks in the video, as another responds: "It's just that one, he's messing around a bit."

"Melissa wasn’t talking to me, my career was in the toilet, I’d lost my Vegas contracts, I’d been fired from Fox [where she had a talk show]. Carson and NBC [she had appeared on the Tonight Show for years] had put out such bad publicity about me. I was a pariah. I wasn’t invited anywhere. I was a non-person. At one point I thought, 'What’s the point? This is stupid.'

The Biocontainment Unit is a negative pressure unit, which means that the air system is designed so air can't flow from the unit to the rest of the hospital. While this is less important for Ebola, which only transmitted by close contact with body fluids, it would be essential for dealing with a dangerous influenza virus.
All the air that leaves the building is filtered and treated to kill anything that might be living in it.
Julie Gerberding of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described the facility as "the safest possible environment to take care of those patients and give them the care they deserve but also the protection that they and the rest of the community require.The Biocontainment Unit facility was designed as one that could deal with the potential effects of bioterrorism, with staff on call at all times. Luckily, since this is a planned transfer, there's nothing like that to worry about here.
Only authorized staff can access the Biocontainment facility.
Hospital scrubs and other protective gear are kept inside the facility.
Personal belongings are kept locked up separately, where they won't be at risk of contamination.
In preparation for the patient's arrival, this dunk tank is filled with an antimicrobial solution so that the outside of lab samples can be cleaned before being carried into a lab.
This machine sterilizes linens, garbage, or supplies that are leaving the lab.
Everything for patient care in a patient's room is prepared before the patient arrives.
Patients also wear protective gear as they are being transferred to the Biocontainment Unit.
Staff receiving the patient and putting them into the facility wear full protective gear.
Patients are moved in an isopod, a special device designed to prevent them from contaminating anything else in the hospital.
The exterior surfaces of the isopod are decontaminated as well.
Security staff keeps hallways clear of other patients or healthcare workers to prevent any mishaps while the transfer is happening.
The entry to the unit works the same way as an airlock. There is a hallway between two doors, and both cannot be open simultaneously.
Inside the facility, the patient can be removed from the isopod.
Doctors can use a videoconferencing system to communicate with the patient and staff so not everyone has to wear the full protective suit at all times.
Biocontainment staff assist staff as they don their protective gear.
Lab specimens are placed in heat-sealed, double-layered plastic bags.
Those bags are then submerged in a dunk tank for 10 minutes.
The sealed bags are collected from the other side of the dunk tank, which is in another room. Specimens can then be studied in a Biosafety Level 3 lab that's also part of the medical center.
Special firewalls and windows also protect the facility from fire or weather emergencies.
If a patient were to die on site, they'd be removed in a specially constructed and sealed body bag to make sure that there was no risk of external contamination after removing the body before it was cremated.
But with early identification of the virus and supportive care, someone is much more likely to survive the Ebola virus, as well as many other infectious diseases.
