Horse-guard

Actually, they had Polish breasts ...

I set you up for that one.

I personally find the "hahhaah...retarded Poles charging calvalry" point quite offensive. Having read about the incident, I can assure you its not as it sounds.
A cavalry regiment harrassed a German infantry platoon (or whatever) and was really nailing them, but along came some German panzers. The cavalry attacked them too knowing full well what they were ...choosing deaht to slow the advance.
It is offensive to think that intelligent people such as the Poles would do something like that.

they even had some success fighting tanks with molotov cocktails.

...  I just reread the thread and I don't see where myshelf or anyone else said anything to the contrary for you to correct. What may be needed is you to better explain yourself. Why is it "offensive" to think they would do something like that: you, yourself, stated that it's a fact that they made the attack (properly, a counterattack) -- what else could they do if that was all they had?

Indeed, what you say is a fair point, I probably should have exercised a better word choice- I (at the time) most probably found some sort of humour in a post regarding  the fact that the Poles charged the tanks.

I always assumed the "real" guards, the armed ones, patrolled somewhere behind these guys, inside the buildings.

I imagine that the "real" guard at Her Majesty's places of residence is provided by the Royal Protection Officers of the Police...
