Nice to see a bit of prep for The QBP.

I like the old coldstream marches

[@Philobiblion]

This is why man for man and woman for woman the Britishers will always have a better Army than than ours. Drill.

This is fabulous-- do we see at about 2/3 the Spin Wheel from another perspective? Also, this must be a rehearsal because of the empties, but who cares? Very fine- thanks much! PJT

[@gabrielmaguanhua]

agreed.

1.32 a Rupert gets it wrong! Begins to march a step too late. All those young lads - without the benefit of Sandhurst, barely a GCSE in Maths between them, managed to count correctly. All done by counting I gather (from a guardsman who's taken part).

The Britishers!? The British.....

The slow marching looks very bad with toes pointing in the air. Toes should be pointing downwards with a staccato movement in the middle.

[@martialmusic]

toes pointing? toes pointing? something we neer talk about in the American military. Toes can point anywhere u like. :-)

[@MrGoldsable]

Don't forget to wave at the white horse at 2.30

[@Philobiblion]

I noticed that. Really they can do better.

[@Philobiblion]

Duh! Texting while cocktailed. Coldstreamers yes, Britishers... I think not.
