Putting money in the kings guards boot brings you good luck!
A long-standing tradition whispers through the crowd at Horse Guards Parade: placing a coin or note in the King’s Guard’s boot is said to bring good luck. With quiet respect, a visitor carefully approaches and gently tucks a folded bill into the guard’s high black boot. The guard remains still, unwavering in his duty, yet the moment feels almost magical. Onlookers smile, some making a wish of their own. Whether superstition or simply a gesture of admiration, the act adds a touch of charm to the solemnity of the setting.
