Boy Dressed as Coldstream Guard Salutes the Real Thing on 'Best Birthday Ever'

A young boy showed his appreciation for the Coldstream Guards with a salute as they marched past him outside Windsor Castle, as seen in this video shared on January 4.

In footage posted to Instagram, the boy, who’s dressed in the regiment’s iconic red outfit, makes the gesture as the guards march past him and into a building. One of the guards then comes back and poses for a picture with the boy.
