Video footage shows the moment a woman went flying across the pavement after she got too close to a guard horse while taking a photo.
The clip, shared to X, has been viewed more than 8 million times in just 24 hours.
The original clip is understood to have been taken around October last year but has since gone viral and after it was uploaded to the platform on Tuesday.
The woman can be seen posing in front of the King’s Guard horse at Buckingham Palace before the horse moves his head forward slightly to nudge the woman, causing her to trip and fall face down onto the ground.
“Tourist gets headbutted and thrown to the floor after standing next to a Kings Guard horsemen,” the X post read.

“Tourists are warned not to get close to the horses or guards with a nearby sign reading ‘Beware. Horse may kick or bite. Don’t touch the reigns. Thank you’.”
Fellow tourists could be seen rushing over to help the woman off the ground. She could be seen pausing on her knees before three men help her back on to her feet.
