A Buckingham Palace guard was sent flying after he slipped and landed flat on his back during a drill.
The embarrassing slip up was captured on camera after the guard fell over on the marching route around the main entrance of the palace as they went to take position.
The video has been viewed over 47,000 times on TikTok and is the latest in a series of clips showing different guards slipping over and wiping out completely, My London reports .
The guard was filmed as they marched into position but as he went to spin around his foot slipped from under him and he crashed down on his back.
The person who filmed the video can be heard laughing as the guard picks himself back up and takes their place back on guard.
However, a number of the slips seem to be happening in the exact same place.
Some online users theorised a number of reasons to explain why that was.
One user wrote: "The stones he is walking on are worn smooth due to the years of use.
"It's like marching on ice. I slipped a few times on it."
Another backed up the claims, stating: "Them shoes are like wearing ice…happens to the best of us!."
Blaming the shoe choice, a third added: "The boots he's wearing are called ammo boots and they have metal studs on the sole that have no grip whatsoever.
“As part of the uniform the guard’s standard footwear are ammunition or 'ammo' boots, which are unlined leather ankle-boots with an iron-studded sole."
The shoes, which were first worn during the 1880s by the British Army, are designed with the studs to make the boot last longer as soldiers marched through treacherous terrains.
However, in modern day, hard surfaces like the "smooth stones" outside Buckingham Palace can cause them to become slippery as the studs are unable to grip.
Whilst many were quick to jump to the defence of the guards, comments make a light-hearted joke at the skids.
One user wrote: "He stepped on a bee."
Another commented: "When you lie on your CV," and a third added: "He's like: Who put that there!!"
