LONDON (MyFoxBoston.com) - Don't mess with the Queen's Guard.
According to the Telegraph, a tourist learned that the hard way during a recent visit to Windsor Castle.
A YouTube video shows the man teasing and marching alongside the guard, then placing his hand on the guard's shoulder.

The video, uploaded Monday, has been viewed more than 4.7 million times.
