(11,114 posts)10. i think you're just seeing the top of the White/Green/White plume.
The video is of the director from the back. Just once, he moves enough to show the plumb is not all white. So I kept looking.
The Time article from which the video came contains a post from the Royal Army - confirming it was the Welsh Guard.
