This song sounds like a tsunami of royal force is on its way; a victory song before the battle has even started. Even as an American it sends chills up my spine. So glad we are brothers!
As a soldier in the United States Army I find it amazing to see how other armys march May the U.S. and the U.K. forever be allies. Greetings from the United States.
ClosingEclipse Whilst I visited the United States, the military really fascinated me, in fact I stayed with former military personnel. The parades in the States and the displays are very different to ours in the UK, but the people you'll meet in the military are the same in both countries - both the bravest and friendliest chaps on this earth.
Bro... every country has a different way of doing drill. You can't claim one way is correct and that another way is wrong. It is all in the regulation.
+Company007 not as bad as most females when they screech on parade...I've heard formations lose it when a female officer tries to butch her way through a ceremony
It's incredibly heartening seeing the messages from around the world, wishing England, Great Britain, and Her Sovereigns the best. Thank you all so so much :)
I am a Filipino but I always have high regards with British people. This is the very reason why Britain became an empire. Others may mock the British but half of the world become civilized because of the British. Long live the British people! Long Live the Queen!
As a United States Marine, I admire the drill teams and military parades from all over the world. I am of Scottish descent . I love the pipes and drums. 🇺🇸🦅⚔️🇨🇦🇬🇧
This isn't a drill team these are front line soldiers they just undertake ceremonial duties aswell. I do however like watching your silent drill platoon
Absolutely love the pomp and ceremony and the formality of it all...and the deep deep legend that comes with the presentation...God save the Queen and the Brits, a most loyal partner of the U.S.
In my 2 tours to Viet Nam had the opportunity to do search and destroy ops with the ROKs (Korean Marines) and once with the Aussie's...never had a chance to go on ops with the Brits...would have been a kick in the ass.
Every Guuuarrrrdsman of The Queens Guard ,, heart is pumping being given that honour... Not many men get to march Horse Guards to the British Grenadier on Trooping the Colour.
+nathan smith light infantry under various names as been around since recorded history. Think of lightly armed, nimble young men arrayed to the front of the main force. The precept is based on the need to screen your main force from hostile eyes/while deploying/to harass the enemy etc etc Been done w/slingers, javelin etc troops...
Charles Temm I think in this context he wanted him to explain how traditionally in line infantry the right most company of a battalion were the grenadiers while the left most were the light infantry / skirmishes who would advance out in front of the main formation in pairs in an attempt to harass the enemy and keep the opposing skirmishers away
Japan has interesting history as well. Do you not remember how the Japanese Imperial Army in the late 1930's invaded British territories in the Pacific islands then held them captured right in their own territory. The case of the Honjo Masamune is interesting as well. If the sword was really turned in to a police station as they say it was then I believe it was confiscated by the US military rather than the Honjo Masamune being on monastery where they said it could also be located at. Monasteries were exempt from weapon confiscation once World War 2 was over in the Pacific war theater.

Fun fact: Those bearskin hats the British grenadiers are wearing were originally taken off the French imperial guard, 1,500 British troops defeated 5,000 French imperial guards ( Veterans who survived 20 of Napoleons campaigns) in spectacular fashion at the Battle of Waterloo, they certainly earned the right to wear that hat :D
The ones shown marching are actually the Coldstream Guards. You can tell by the buttons on their uniforms. The Grenadiers have evenly spaced buttons, the buttons of the Coldstreams are grouped in twos, the Scots Guards in 3s, the Irish Guards in 4s and the Welsh Guards in 5s.
@@zachpaterson8128 yes, but clearly not all of them were. Normally a regiment has at least 3 battalions although I'm fairly sure that, at present, most of the guards regiments have only one or two.

So fucking proud to be English and British. You can take my job, my house, my money and my land! My car, my sight, even my sense! But you’ll never take away my pride in my country or the Liberty it bestowed upon every Briton. God save our green and gracious land!
My Grandad was in the Grenadier Gruads he is no longer with us sadly when I see this this I all ways smile and beem with pride and I think of him plus the Grenadier song is the best and my Great grandad was in the Lifeguard regiment too back in the day ..
I’m a Yank and jealous of the great British marching form. The swagger of world empire still lives in them although largely symbolic at this point. Hip hip hooray.
As a former US military man, I can appreciate what these guys had to do for the ceremony. Numerous days of practice with several hours each time, I wager. The ceremony itself is long. The personnel here are on the parade deck a long time, often at attention. I can tell you now, it's a PITA to stay at attention for a long time on the parade deck. Wearing a dress uniform. Gets real fun if your'e doing that in a hot, humid area. As for the marching, they have very, very wide ranks. Maintaining alignment especially on the march is a challenge. The turns make it interesting :) Through it all, you have to maintain military bearing and discipline. Sometimes I do miss the snap & pop of drill and ceremonies when I look back. But then I remember the practices and standing in formation for a long time, especially for speeches... Ugh... I don't miss it anymore LOL P.S. - You know you're going to stand there for a long time when the guy giving a speech starts to reflect on his life or entire service career.
Once your company is chosen to troop the color then you will practice everyday for the 12 mths running up to the day. Every step is measures with a pace stick. Every movement is syncranised with the music. Boots are buffed and polished. Belts are whuter than white. Chin straps are gleaming. Proud to have served in her majestys finest.
Jstoney127 You've been watching too much of the patriot... Britain nearly defeated the U.S rebels, if it was not for the combined efforts of Spain and France (who fucked themselfs over by helping the U.S). Then Britain would have won, + the fact that George 3rd held the colonies in low regard for usefulness, which is why he did not send substantial reinforcements or a substantial army (about 1-2% of Britain's overall military force was involved in that war), which was a big mistake imo.
1:29 Brings a tear to my eye to see these noble chaps all marching in complete unison to the infamous British Grenadiers. I can only imagine what a feeling that would've been, marching towards the enemy with cannonfire bellowing all around them. Truly proud to be British and our armed forces deserve all the respect they get 👏 ❤
@@64MDW yes. Its one of the most prolific marching pieces ever written! I admit infamous might be a bit of a stretch but its certainly well known. To Brits at least.
To see HMS Victory you need to visit Portsmouth, on the South coast, it's about 115km (72 miles) from London (depending on where you stay) but bus/train travel is pretty quick to get there. The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is brilliant; the remains of the Tudor ship, The Mary Rose, is now fully displayed and it is AMAZING! HMS Victory is also mind-blowing: I loved my visit. To stand where Nelson stood, and imagine the ship in battle, sent shivers down my spine.
Still the best marching and anthem above any other nation. With the ridiculous looking North Korean marching. Pure class from Her Majesty's armed forces once again.
The drill they used isn’t some parade ground nonsense. These were combat maneuvers used in combat at places like Salamanca, Waterloo, and hundreds of other battlefields whose names are shown on the colors
I do know that remark as an American I find these guys highly disciplined awesome and very cohesive. American forces could use some of this kind of discipline. they have every right to be proud of their tradition
Lone Wolf if it weren’t for Spain and France you’d be English pal. You yanks hate that no one makes videos of your shitty military that is all Hispanics and blacks and u can’t take that British army is better so ya come on here chatting shit fuckin pussy !
One of the best memories I have of being stationed at AFCENT in the 80's was being able to attend the Trooping of the Colour by 1st British Corps! There is nothing like a British military parade!
This is not the Grenadiers; it’s the Coldstream Guards. The tunic buttons are in clusters of 2 and the plume hackle on the bearskin hat is red; the Grenadiers’ buttons are in clusters of one and their bearskin hats have a white plume..
This is like my 40th time to watch this, anyone else addicted to this?

As a former US military man, I can appreciate what these guys had to do for the ceremony. Numerous days of practice with several hours each time, I wager. The ceremony itself is long. The personnel here are on the parade deck a long time, often at attention. I can tell you now, it's a PITA to stay at attention for a long time on the parade deck. Wearing a dress uniform. Gets real fun if your'e doing that in a hot, humid area.
As for the marching, they have very, very wide ranks. Maintaining alignment especially on the march is a challenge. The turns make it interesting :)
Through it all, you have to maintain military bearing and discipline.
Sometimes I do miss the snap & pop of drill and ceremonies when I look back. But then I remember the practices and standing in formation for a long time, especially for speeches... Ugh... I don't miss it anymore LOL
P.S. - You know you're going to stand there for a long time when the guy giving a speech starts to reflect on his life or entire service career.
Warmaker01 They are combat regiments as well. No parade only soldiers there.
Once your company is chosen to troop the color then you will practice everyday for the 12 mths running up to the day. Every step is measures with a pace stick. Every movement is syncranised with the music. Boots are buffed and polished. Belts are whuter than white. Chin straps are gleaming. Proud to have served in her majestys finest.
@@chrislanham9380 wrong pal, they only practise this for about 2 months leading up to the parade, I know this as I did it 3 times on the bounce
Slow march, quick march. Them uniforms are awesome!
1:26 me and the boys when some austrian guy gets rejected from art school and becomes politician instead:
Herzlichen Dank. Sehr vorbildlich majestätisch. Gott segne Euch 🙏
Does it makes anyone else proud to be British ?
Glory to the Queen Elizabeth
My gal, the Queen…..
God rest her soul
1:19 the moment when you're with your brother's at a family wedding and an intruder wants to crash the party
PROUD TO BE BRITISH.
Live in OZ. now but British to the BACKBONE.
As a British person so do I, and so Proud of them all.

Right flank was always the grenadiers because they were the biggest, strongest, baddest sons of bitches in the whole army.
Until they met the American Minute Men and Washington's Continentals! :)
Jstoney127 Who then ran away from the bayonet charge at Bunker Hill once they had no ammo.
Jstoney127 You've been watching too much of the patriot... Britain nearly defeated the U.S rebels, if it was not for the combined efforts of Spain and France (who fucked themselfs over by helping the U.S). Then Britain would have won, + the fact that George 3rd held the colonies in low regard for usefulness, which is why he did not send substantial reinforcements or a substantial army (about 1-2% of Britain's overall military force was involved in that war), which was a big mistake imo.
Ben Fletcher if it wasn't for the french and the fact we seen the states as more hassle than it was worth we would have easily won
Ok losers!
I wanna hire an entire platoon to play the british grenadiers for my morning alarm.
1:29 Brings a tear to my eye to see these noble chaps all marching in complete unison to the infamous British Grenadiers. I can only imagine what a feeling that would've been, marching towards the enemy with cannonfire bellowing all around them. Truly proud to be British and our armed forces deserve all the respect they get 👏 ❤
"Infamous"?
@@64MDW yes. Its one of the most prolific marching pieces ever written!
I admit infamous might be a bit of a stretch but its certainly well known. To Brits at least.
infamous usually means famous for a bad reason, like hitler is considered infamous not famous@@ShockwaveTheLogical
infamous?
To see HMS Victory you need to visit Portsmouth, on the South coast, it's about 115km (72 miles) from London (depending on where you stay) but bus/train travel is pretty quick to get there.
The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is brilliant; the remains of the Tudor ship, The Mary Rose, is now fully displayed and it is AMAZING! HMS Victory is also mind-blowing: I loved my visit. To stand where Nelson stood, and imagine the ship in battle, sent shivers down my spine.
Still the best marching and anthem above any other nation. With the ridiculous looking North Korean marching. Pure class from Her Majesty's armed forces once again.
The German Empire march is pretty good too lol
@@theehhhnd5708 Until you realise they've marched straight into France
The drill they used isn’t some parade ground nonsense. These were combat maneuvers used in combat at places like Salamanca, Waterloo, and hundreds of other battlefields whose names are shown on the colors
I do know that remark as an American I find these guys highly disciplined awesome and very cohesive. American forces could use some of this kind of discipline. they have every right to be proud of their tradition
Occasionally, I found myself whisteling this when I was walking through town in a little rush. And I'm not even British!
Good to see we’re still expanding 😏
@@user-ih6vs3eg3o There's a little bit British in every civilized man!
Make me proud to be British 🇬🇧🇬🇧
अंग्रेज़ी भाषा अंग्रेज भारतीय इतिहास के आधार पर बहुत ही ताकतवर लगते हैं।
As you should be
I can't get this melody out of my head...what a great composition...wish i could march right along with the Grenadiers!...James, Columbus, OH
Same here, my ringtone now
UNITED WE STAND....DEVIDED BY MAN OR WOMAN..LOVE ALWAY'S FROM AOTEROA NEW ZEALAND...❤❤❤❤
So so soooo proud to be British!
Beautiful
Got tickets for this year and so excited. We will be watching the Coldstream Guards
1:26 Me and the boys when we see the Belgian kid getting bullied by the German exchange student.
Just marching across the ocean to Belgium like jesus lol
@@yeetjones927 You're goddamn right
I an Indian have immense respect for the Britishers 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you sir
@@pauliewalnuts5803 My pleasure 🏴
Just imagine them marching out of the smoke at you, muskets levelled, band blaring. This is why we built an empire.
Lone Wolf if it weren’t for Spain and France you’d be English pal. You yanks hate that no one makes videos of your shitty military that is all Hispanics and blacks and u can’t take that British army is better so ya come on here chatting shit fuckin pussy !
Ah le drill à l'anglaise, c'est tout simplement superbe de classe !
👍 🇬🇧🇫🇷
Did they get the “hat” thing from the franch old guard?
The voice break at the end made me laugh 😂
One of the best memories I have of being stationed at AFCENT in the 80's was being able to attend the Trooping of the Colour by 1st British Corps! There is nothing like a British military parade!
Keep on marching forever, brave Britons!!
This is not the Grenadiers; it’s the Coldstream Guards. The tunic buttons are in clusters of 2 and the plume hackle on the bearskin hat is red; the Grenadiers’ buttons are in clusters of one and their bearskin hats have a white plume..
As a french it's very hard to admit but that's really good !
Thanks Mr French
