The Only Time UK\'s Royal Soldiers Break The Rules

In a heartwarming moment caught on video, a young blind boy visiting England’s royal grounds gave his best attempt at a foot salute to one of the stoic Royal Guards, who are famously forbidden from speaking to visitors. The guard made a powerful exception to the strict rules in his own way — responding by stamping his foot firmly on the ground, a silent gesture of respect and connection.
