Brilliant video! Great sound from the Baritone Sax player in General Mitchell!! The band were so big on this occasion, with 6 saxes +Baritone, 6 French horns, 3 snare drummers and 4 Tubas! The marches are: Washington Greys General Mitchell Colchester Castle Bravura General Mitchell Colchester Castle All of these sounded fantastic especially Baruva and Colchester Castle, with the timbre of this large band on parade!must have been a row spectacular parade to witness!
I'm sure l detected the sound of "Ammo. Boots" ? Being posted to No. 1 Guards Para in Pirbright , my DMS boots were subbed at the RQMS stores for hob nailed ones . At the Para Regt parade in Aldershot , mid-70's, favourable comments were heard . Our unit was represeneted by Airborne Pers. from The Guards Brigade , a variety of uniforms gave the onlookers a pleasant surprise , l'm sure . Being disbanded was a "Soldier On " moment in my career . Best wishes to all !
I was a P.T. instructor in the Life Guards at Windsor 1954-1958. We would never got out of the gates marching like that! Terrible. Where was the pride in being part of Her Majesty"s Life Guards, and the Army's senior Regiment? It was not on show here Very sad!!
Incase your a bit confused, the first two groups are from the life guards and the last two are from the Horse Guards, and command support squadron (not shown) is drawn from both..

What a magnificent band - what a fabulous sound with the full range of saxophones! Sorry to have missed this fine parade. What a pity the Bead Counters are moving the Household Cavalry away from their Ancient Home Garrison for good.
Although I know what you mean, they actually aern't leaving they have one troop and one seperate training wing remaining along with the band. It's only the armoured regiment's HQ, A, B, C, and Support Squadrons that are leaving..
The Household Cavalry (regiment, not the band) have left Comebere Barracks in Windsor for Sailsbury Plain to have larger 211st century training grounds, the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards have now since replaced them.
Greetings from Australia. An awesome band. Great Dynamics. Great tuba player there too. Can someone please the explain the "farewell" part of the title. Thanks.
When I joined the Life Guards i was sent to The Guards Depot Pirbright to do my basic training, infantry training alongside the footguards before passing out and moving on to Catterick to do armoured training, or others to Windsor for mounted training.
Methinks the Regimental Corporal Major needs to give a lot of foot drill to his dozy soldiers. I can't believe that they can't march in step. Showed this to a mate who was Corporal of Horse back in 70s and he was disgusted. Arse kicking time.
Watching them, for all their superb talent, all I can think about is, back in the day, why did they make a strong helmet with a massive baton on top, then fix a giant target-esque tassle to it? Who the hell thought that what soldiers needed most was a giant target on their heads?!!
Well, one isn't exactly camouflaged when riding across a battlefield on horseback. The last time the Life Guards and the Royal Horse Guards and Royal Dragoons (the later two would be combined to become the Blues and Royals) went into battle in all their "finery" (although different from what they wear today) was at the Battle of Waterloo. The Royal Dragoons also fought in the Crimean War, but their uniform consisted of a red tunic and a metal helmet with short spike - no plume on the helmet, no breastplate. This was a time when rifles had to be reloaded after each shot, and cavalry were a major force (sometimes decisive) on the battle field.

I think they had lost the sound of the beat from the band and the horses hooves behind them don't exactly march in time. It also looked if the step had changed near the front of the last section so all the rest have to change step

@@frontlineevents1066 and i don’t suppose you have been in the army?
There is no greater thrill than riding behind the massed bands of the household cavelry.
It’s quite a spectacular sight to see the lifeguards mounted on the horses

Where are they being located to?

They're moving closer to Salisbury plain. The new Ajax is to big for Combermere Bks.
To protect our Sovereign Lady, The Queen, from all enemies domestic or foreign.

Makes sense, who wants little tanks in Windsor really. It's always sad all the same.

How short are you? Because when your walking with them I have to look up. And I know the household cavalry aern't really known for their heigh..
Rude question, at least ask him how tall. Hope doesn’t respond!
Beware of tall stories !
since they're not going anywhere...I suggest more marching to learn to keep in step.
They used to riding horses.

Out of step !
Actually some of the marching is more professional than rehearsals for trooping the colour this year
17yrs in-step with the Army , and since 1977 remain out-of -step with Marxist U.K.
And more tick-ticking than a watch makers shop !
Phil Stinton your point being?
First time that household cavalry regiments use rifles
Awesome video

OMG,I agree with David Lee,Boys in back badly out of step
Are these gentlemen being deployed?
They are moving...they will no longer be based in Windsor... sometime this summer...
@@jeffmacrae4633 thankyou, just read about it on Google, 200yrs to leave your barracks, that will be a sad time for them.

At the top mate.
Why are they moving?
The new armoured vehicles they are getting are too wide for the roads around Windsor
Why farewell?
WienerVL there leaving Windsor
Very nice ! Mais vive l'Empereur quand même !
bods at the back need to sort it out lol ... surprised the non coms didnt get a grip of them ambling along like dads army .... :)
They are more used to riding horses than marching
If they are Cavalry they almost certainly have ' petrol feet'. You ask any infantry man!
@@haroldinsley171 Please , don't try to saddle us with that excuse . I left the army in 1977 , but always keep a sense of humour !

I was used to better musicianship from the Guards. The band gets worse every year. I remember a time when it used to be one of the best in the world.
Explain please.
Over weight ,sloppy, out of step, unfit, if they fight like they march and play god help us.
Terrible marching indeed.
What a load of crap .. grow up .. playing soldiers .. ugh ..
They aren't playing soldiers . This is an active duty regiment.
