A tourist fainted after being bitten by a King's Guard horse while posing for a photo in London. The woman, wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt, ignored a sign warning about horses biting. The horse bit her arm, causing her to scream and run to her friends. She later fainted and was tended to by officers. The King's Guard signaled for help using his sword. Despite clear warnings, tourists continue to approach the horses, leading to such dangerous incidents. The King's Guard, elite soldiers tasked with protecting the monarch, must not let anything distract them from their duties.
