GO CANADA!! 👍 🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦
Love your vids!!
How did I know you'd be in the comment section 😂😂😂
We meet again Matsimus
Matsimus!
Proud to see my home country represent my mother's country
I was a Grenadier Guardsman in the 60's and I know the pressure that those people would have been put through, absolutely brilliant. Well done the Canadians.
BZ JC!
Wow. That's awesome guys. Why doesn't the commonwealth make this a normal thing? British Soldiers in Australia. New Zealanders in Ottawa. I think it'd be a great way to strengthen the already strong relationship between us.
Synystr7 ikr!! I would love to see that happen, as a fellow British-Canadian! ☺️
This is a regular thing, but only for them to come to the UK. There is no reason for British soldiers to do public duties in Ottawa for example. However, there are frequently Commonwealth units on PD in London.
While a nice idea, guarding the sovereign can only really take place in the UK. The Canadian Army has their own "Household " units that guard the Governor General. I'm sure its the same in other Commonwealth countries.
Doesn't have to be the sovereign. Could be parliament buildings for example.
It has to be the Sovereign, those units come here due to her status as head of the Commonwealth, that's why the guard Buckingham and St James and not the Tower Of London when they are here.
Being a former Guardsman, I'm proud to see these brothers and sisters from the Canadian Royal Air Force, coming to have their turn at guarding the Royal Palaces, I wish them well
we owe Canada a debt that we can never ever repay . they came every single time without even being asked when we where in trouble and fought like lions way beyond their numbers at that time . God bless you all and thank you for my freedom and the freedom of my family . for me you have already passed every test with flying colours .
Thank you / Merci
Well us stopping the US taking over Canada take a massive chunk
@@non-masturbatingtyrannosau3476 In the words of Sir Winston Churchill "If I had American equipment, British officers and Canadian soldiers we could have taken Germany in 2 years."
God bless the Canadians - as a Brit this is a proud moment to see them guarding our crown
It like proud dad watching they son and daughter
The fact that Canada sent such a large and distinguished force to conduct ceremonial duties in London is a great honour. Thank you Canada,
Brilliant.Bloody love our Canadian cousins👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧
Yeah Canada is the best
More like Canadian children
Got family in Canada. God bless the Canadians and thank you for your service
Please send us some Typhoons Blighty.

The Typhoon fighter is an absolute beast ..
Still on the QRF to intercept the Russians every other day , not sure what the F35b is upto right enough..
Probably just using that on board the carrier's.
My father transferred from the Winnipeg Grenadiers (Machine Gun) Regiment to 110 (Army Cooperation) Squadron RCAF in August 1939....which was the first RCAF Squadron deployed to the UK in February 1940, the Squadron then was re-designated and renumbered 400 Squadron, RCAF.....the first RCAF Squadron in WWII......he served in the RCAF until 1965, transferring then to the Defence Research Establishment (Pacific) Esquimalt, BC.....My brother served in the RCAF for five years and I joined the RCAF in 1964. Per Ardua Ad Astra......!
Great to see our Canadian cousins here.
I have an elderly friend who served as a senior rank in the British Army. He told me he was once detailed to organise a multi-service march past. He said the army marched past, the RAF walked by and the Royal Navy just did the best they could.
😱😱😱 How very dare he..😡😂😀....ex RAF...😝
This was in 2018 was in London and saw them performing this I watched them drill and a officer told us that this was the first time in the RCAF history that they got invited over for this drill it was Pretty neat and historical
The Brits have never needed a reminder of Canada's contribution to the Commonwealth.
Well, to a lot of Canadians, the British are family.
Our Canadian military might not be strong in numbers, but our military is strong in skill, and this is recognised. Maple Leaf Up.
Canadian and British troops are forced to do more with less. It has always been that way and both do a great job in carrying out their duties.
Your Canadian military have a great history of courage and daring.
Very professional 🇬🇧🇨🇦
But the uk millitary is far more capable and has far more capabilitys than Canada. Canada should get amphibious ships, maybe a helicopter carrier, or aircraft carrier, an old invincible class would have done the job.
@@bulletproofkam7931 Actually canada has more oil
The UK has and always will have a special bond with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We come from the same stock, same language, similar societies, shared values ..... the list goes on. I believe that with our shared history, we truly are a family of nations. I would stand shoulder to shoulder with each and every one of them.
and many are blood relatives without knowing
I'm proud of those RCAF airmen and women. Carry on.
I bet Matsimus will not see this
Dj Dumapat haha! Well I did! OOOOOOOO CAAAANNADA!!! OUR HOME AND NATIVE LAAAAANND!!! ❤️👍
Matsimus XD
Matsimus Damn... 😂✌
xD
Traitor.... joking.
My goodness! You’d a thought that Canadian troops had just graduated to long pants. In fact, Canadians troops have been guarding Our Sovereign for 230 yrs, and we beat back the Americans 3 times. I’m so pleased the GSM thinks we’re up to scratch to guard Our Queen.
well at the time they invade Canada, it was a direct rule colony of the Uk, so ...in a way, yeah they did ?
Right, so Queenston Heights didn't happen? What about the Burning of York, where American burned down Upper Canada's capital before Britain burned the white house? The attack on Kingston? None of these things happened?
Invading territory directly belonging to Britain is invading Britain. If Canada invades St Pierre and Miquelon, the islands just off of Newfoundland that still belong to France as a territory, it counts as invading France. Your arbitrary line doesn't make any sense.
America was British territory then, why would they have counted as a separate group in the French and Indian war? Any invasions into Canada pre-1867 count as an invasion of Britain, and the United States did that several times in the war of 1812. America were the ones who declared war as well, so it was an offensive invasion.
I never said Canadians fought in the war of 1812 bud. I don't know why you're saying that. And I also never said the American declaration of war was illegitimate.
So proud of our boys! Right on
Congratulations to the Royal Canadian Air Force. A great honor and they will do Canada proud.
Can i just welcome you to Britain.
I watched some of this last week while I was in London with the Gurkhas, they where doing pretty good 👌🏽
Brilliant, nice one lads(and lasses).🇬🇧⚔️🇨🇦
Feeling proud! 🇨🇦
By the way, the march they played at the end is called 'Washington Greys'
Very sharp - and love seeing them march with their beautiful SLRs !!
Well done Canada' Congrats' you should be proud!!!!
We british should have some Canadians and Australian, New Zealand troops to help guard the queen, it would be a great symbol of friendship, the queen is after all they're queen aswell.
Actually Canada acts as Palane Guards every few years, usually split up between the 3 services and individual regiments of the army, even the RCMP HM also always has an actual trained horse from the Mounties in Her stables
0.56 that foot on the rifle...
Arjun gautam good eye for detail. Where is an RSM when you need them.... that was highly embarrassing.
lol what kind of timestamp is this? try 0:56
Lack of military discipline
Wha'da expect for Airmen? No respect for the C7. [face-palm]
Well done canada! Keep up the hard work!
Jagermister agreed!
Matsimus
It's you again mat 😂 see your comments in loads of vids. Love your videos 👍
I found the gold looks a lot better than the silver against the blue uniform. I do realize that it is a return to the old drab low-key uniform of the original RCAF/RAF.
🙋♀️Congratulations Canada!! 🇨🇦 Awesome!! You did well !!! ❤️ and did us proud!! XO
Well done lads
Welcome and well done Canada.
,
From a former Coldstream Guardsman, not bad.
These guys just seem so nice
00:56. Second trooper from the left. Resting his foot on the rifle's magazine well.
He thinks that is an AK ....
Outstanding to see us colonials getting a gurnsey as The Queen's Guard. How about my old service, the RAAF, getting a turn soon. In my day we were pretty good at advanced drill and ceremonial. Cheers, BH Then there's the Australian combined Federation Guard of all three services. These people specialise in official, public ceremonial guard and drill duties they are exceptional. Cheers, RaafBloke
The Canadian boys have got what it takes. We've known that for a century in the UK.
Loving the uniform
God save the Queen!
Nice one Canada
This took place south of Buckingham Palace near the park going towards Parliament if I remember right that’s the main RAF building or the cadet training/ instructional area
Canadian soldier sailors and airman rock!
Sergeant David Grenon was my music officer when i was a young drummer in the sea cadets. Such memories
Great one men and lady's GO CANADA
I doff my cap in respect.... 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦
Apart from the bloke on the right tick tocking right at the start....pretty good
Canadian Army and RCAF have now guarded her majesty..... when will the RCN be given our chance?
Fantastic. Thank you to our Commonwealth cousins.
Well done people!
0;27, chap at the rear of the middle rank forgets to turn! Then gets out of step....just as the commentator says they are required to conduct drill "flawlessly". Perfect bad timing :) However, very smart and I wish them well!
They dont look rigurous enough for drill... they also look soft and some are overweight
Canadians train just like us british, tough guys even the Germans said they couldn't tell us apart in battle
Really?
Britz were two feet shorter.
Big love to our Canadian cousins
Brilliant Canada !
Canada should be proud!!!!
Notice me matsimus
JS XXIII hello!! Haha!!
Matsimus oof
Will this contingent be doing anything special on July 1 -- Canada Day?
Good job
It's the same foot drill I believe just as the Ozzy's and the Kiwi's and Irish although the Irish do the commands in Irish Gaelic
And we do ours in English and French
1:06 I saw that.
Love canada royal guards
1:06 Canadian army eating good😂😂
2:55 this also 😆... I bet he havnt jog for years
@@patriot4786 Its not the Canadian Army is the RCAF ground crews.
@@michaelb9529 as military personnel they should at-least maintain their fitness
@@patriot4786 No argument here just pointing out that they are not combat personnel. When i was in decades ago the fitness was painful and the discipline near sadistic. And I wouldn't of had it any other way. Had some really great times. You know you're fun when you can make a Squadron Sergeant-major start to crack up. The only result was the SSM tormenting you for the rest of the day.
Deepend mystery,nice.
Stuart Parkinson 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
They look really good and make Canada look good. I love the MWO personal story. :)
Way to go RCAF!
Where the 'Van Doos' went before you can follow with equal pride.
Allez mes amis!
Félicitations!
Well done Canada!
1:00. Is that a dude in the background resting his foot on his rifle?
Bloody Brilliant!!!!
Russell Williams...
A bit late but well done ...
1:00?? hope it doesn't break off
Of course Matsimus will comment on this...
😊😊
Iftekhar Ahmed of course 😉
I wonder how similar the drills are
Well done the Canadian air force
Crazy how the Quebec French speak with a broken English accent, basically a French woman in a Canadian uniform guarding the British sovereign.
Actually many Quebecois are loyal to HM. Years ago when they threatened separation they were going to keep the Queen. The Acadian French who live mostly in New Brunswick are very rolyalistic the are know as part of the United Empire Loyalist as the migrated not after the American independence.
Bit of a disrespectful comment for someone with an English name..how many languages do you speak fluently? Colombians living in the former British naval base islands of San Andres and Providencia speak English and do military service..so by that there are Brits in the Colombian Army? What does her passport say..Canadian? I am Welsh, British and not English in that order
RAF drill and commands are somewhat different to army
No it's not....that's with the queens colour squadron does courses at Pirbright.
Andy Froggatt thats a recent thing if rhats the case
1 minute in there is a guy standing on his mag XD
Still tho
With the Canadians, at least the queens guard has a rifle that will actually work.
u want to join the USAF
instead of OORAH we said OKIE DOKIEE
1:15 She's putting the wrong em-PHA-sis and the wrong syll-A-ble!
I'm surprised they had to pass a test after watching changing of the guard recently and the recent trooping of the Colour I must say the standards of drill within the household division have dropped dramatically. There was a time that the rest of the British Army looked up to the household division as they set the standard in drill but unfortunately that no longer seems the case. The problem is the British Army is too small and yet it is over committed so what used to be a mainly ceremonial Force is constantly on active duty and then there is the problem with retention. I don't think it's any coincidence that in recent years troops from around the Commonwealth have been coming to Mount guard at the palace this is quite simply to free up British forces who are overstretched.. that's my opinion anyway
Have you served?
KhakiCapitalist Royal Artillery and whilst doing basic training at Woolwich we were told by our bombardiers that we were being taught according to the Army Drill book as written by the household division by the guards and I'm sorry but if you watched Trooping the Colour this year and you didn't notice the absolute shambles that was the dressing from left to right then you must need glasses
Guy Willoughby True. The guards of 50 years ago were perfect, but those of today barely walk in step and definately cant keep in a straight line.
Thats because the troops nowadays are operational not decorational.
al h exactly so either stop the ceremony or employ the guards as ceremonial only like the US army old guard. Or stand up an extra battalion to each guards regiment and take some strain off. We require an army of 150000 in order to cope with our commitments we currently stand at 85000!!
0:28 he messed that up
Kinda looks like the modern Luftwaffe uniform...
Or that of the RAF until they got rid of side caps
They look like Thunderbirds .
Uh oh. A froggy guarding the queen
It's not a joke, but pejorative and offensive.
Bernard Kay Tough shit I guess. Doesn't matter wether you think it's funny or not I'm just having a joke. Have you ever heard of the famous mutual rivalry between the English and the French?
Samwelguy haha yeah frogs and rosbief or something
@@samwelguy You don't make the difference between french and francophone . French in francophone Canada refers to something from France .The francophones of Canada considered Canada to be their country way before the anglophones of Canada . By the way people in Canada, francophones as well as anglophones , are known to be among the funniest people in the world, having a great sense of humour . Oh by the way the funniest movies I saw were from France . Humour in Québec is more american style .
There are a lot of francophones in the canadian forces. Educate yourself
The Q- Her Majesty the Queen
Alhamdulillah Pakistani army professional strong beautiful so smart best on the world every years take gold medal I love ISI
0:55 look upper left corner..using optic as leg rest....
I don't want to live on this planet anymore...
Eyehole Man
I think it's the pistol grip...either way, shouldn't be doing it
Why are they wearing chip hats 😂😂😂
its not chip hats
It is hard to join the Canadian Air Force
meanwhile we can't afford to keep our own military in check
How long are they there?
Where are the bearskin hats?
@@vincentprincipato9234 RCAF don't wear bearskins only Guard Units do.
The French have infiltrated the Queens guard :D.
Talking about proper dress, that WO belt is crooked.
0:52 Back left. Who uses the optic on their weapon as a foot rest?
Alexander Jones I Don't really want to argue but at 0:19 they all appear to have sights attached with the drill covers over them.
Frogs
Why have they been invited to do this? Is it their anniversary - like the RAF's?
Yes. 1918.
I think a lot of the basic RCAF training was done at Shoreham Airport
Not half bad, for a bunch of Johnny Foreigners.
You mean that bunch of Jonny Foreigners who had trained a bunch of RAF pilots in Canada in the Second World War
No, these guys aren't old enough to have trained people during WW2.
@@alvindurochermtl are you triggered?
@@mr31337 Is this where I am supposed to say funny haha?
@@mr31337 What difference does it make to you? And are you triggered by someone who rebuked your comment?
Is this a first does anyone know? Incredibly welcome!
A first for the RCAF, but not for the Canadian Forces. Several years ago, some of the members of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) regiment were assigned to palace guard duties.
I have big respect for Canada & Canadians - but NO respect for Canada's current prime minister or those who elected him
As a royalist nationalist Canadian, I agree with you completely.
Having seen them this Morning, They are every bit as good as HM Brigade of Guards, theyre drill, Weapons and deportment were superb, I've worked with their Medical Services Too, a fine bunch, and a credit to Canadas PM and HMTQ, who respects the GB Prime Minister(whoever they are and whatever Colour they subscribe to this week) Shame they couldn't have been on for the Pseudo State Visit of the worlds dictator (nearly as bad as Bliar)
Like the last one even less .........way less
