The marches are: General Mitchell Guards Armoured Division Colchester Castle General Mitchell Guards Armoured Division Colchester Castle Radetsky March
What an awesome site when the camera turns and follows the guard as they march into the castle. The view of the walls, turrets, ramparts and off up in the distance a flag waves. I Want to visit that street if I ever get to tour London. Thanks for your posts.
The band is a combination of Life Guards in the red tunics with white plumes, and Blues and Royals in the navy tunics with red plumes. The Guard on duty at the Castle is the Coldstream Guards, being replaced by Scots Guards who march out of the Barracks at the beginning of this clip, for the Changing of the Guard ceremony. At the end, we see the Coldstream Guards march back to barracks with the Band.
588158: I would be careful how you use the word 'pagentry' as this word is normally applied to prossesions like the crowning of the local village May Queen or school historical pagents. A better word(s) perhaps would be 'ceremoinial parade' or better still ' performing miitary duties' as this is what the Guards are doing.
Fantastic video, great marches - a pleasure to watch! Thank you! A short question - what's the meaning of the two guardsmen running to and flanking the leading officer just after leaving the barracks (1:38)?
You can see the same thing better in other videos, including Buckingham Palace guard changes. It's a tradition for many Regiments (particularly the Guards) & represents protecting the Regimental Colour (flag) on the battlefield. The 'escort to the Colour' would defend it at any cost: it was a vital rallying point for the soldiers & losing it to the enemy was a severe blow to morale. When the Colour isn't present the Officer represents it & is the commander of the guard, so the escort protects them. The Senior NCO shouts "Out the escort", or "Mount the escort" & the two soldiers run forward to where the Officer is, providing cover either side. You'll notice they hold their rifles in a particular way - it represents a defensive stance & also saves dropping the rifle when running forward! Another interesting tradition inside the castle (lots of videos on TH-cam) is when the Officers commanding the Old & New Guards first approach each other: they shake hands rather than salute. This represents 'handing over the keys' to lock the gates as they would have done in the past!
@@TheCatBilbo Thank you so much for your detailed answer! I did know about the tradition of guarding the flag, but it was new to me to hear about the officer's role as a substitute for it. Very interesting to read the exact commands! The information about the officers when changing the guards is a fascinating example for keeping up traditions in a modern way.

F company Scots guards and 3 company Coldstream guards ( I think )
Thanks for the info ! I wasn't sure
Awesome 👏🏻 from your common wealth brother 🇨🇦
I am going to see it for myself on Thursday September 9,2021.
They look and sound magnificent! England really knows how to smartly dress their soldiers; nothing but the best materials.
Britain! They are the British Army, England has not had an army for several hundred years!
It's England that pays as Wales and Scotland are subsidized by England to survive!
@@Peter-lm3ic Nobody in the world does pagentry like the British; they are the gold standard; no half measures!

@@Peter-lm3ic No matter what the British do its always the best.

I know right!! Long live the Monarchy and the Grenadier Guards!!!

Pretty cool!
Muito lindo.

One LG musician seemed to have difficulty marching and his helmet appeared to be about to tip off his head.
Just get him back on his horse and he will show you how it’s done..
Fantastic but they need to reintroduce a height restriction because some of these bandsmen are too small
No, not really. What is the point of height restrictions anyway? It’s not needed because some of the best players, and even soldiers are short.
Let’s hope the drill is better than the QCS!
Not a hope.
