Going, going, gone! A ceremonial guardsman was dramatically thrown from his horse during the parade. The startled animal reared up, sending the rider tumbling onto the cobblestones. Gasps filled the crowd as officials rushed to help. Thankfully, the guardsman rose quickly, shaken but unhurt, and the horse was calmed by handlers moments later.
