There were the paras in Shropshire, but they missed. There was the rather public incident in Gibraltar but they were highly trained. There was the unfortunate incident on HMS Astute (by coincidence I passed by immediately after the event), but of armed guards on the gate, the MPGS, the MOD Police, or Guards in London, nothing IIRC.
There was this incident.......
