Members of the First Regiment of Foot Guards all want a piece of this hunk.

Grenadier Guardsman Gus didn't do much. He simply stood at attention with a vacant stare but he was popular with the First Regiment of Foot Guards. When they met him at the forecourt of Wellington Barracks in London on Monday night (Oct 27), they all wanted a piece of him.
