THIS is the adorable moment a Windsor Castle soldier stopped to pose for a photo with a young fan in a Guardsman uniform.

The toddler - wearing a summer version of the uniform complete with red jacket and bearskin during a birthday visit to the site  - looked amazed as the four soldiers marched past him.

Sticking close to his mum, the adorable youngster saluted the Coldstream Guards as they made their way into Windsor Castle in their official uniforms.

His face then lights up as one of the soldiers stops in front of the boy and beckons him over.

The kind-hearted soldier then poses with the lad for a photograph as the stunned crowd around them cheer.

The boy can be seen looking shocked as the soldier then turns around and goes back to the Guards Room.

The video was shared on Instagram by Joanna Feng.

Coldstream Guards are the oldest regiment in the British  Army in continuing active service.

The Guards are one of seven regiments in the Household Division - the personal troops of The Queen.

They have also previously been deployed to Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan.

 The youngster was obviously in awe of the guards

The Coldstream Guards found themselves under fire last year when The Sun revealed that Guards officer Major James Coleby was filmed snorting a powder-like substance off a ceremonial sword in St James's Palace.

A scandal also rocked the regiment in March when The Sun told how two male recruits were forced to perform sex acts on each other.
