Spiffing video Sir!! It's always a treat to see and hear the Band of the Rifles! The marches missing were, 1) 0:01-Bab El Mandeb 2) 1:58-Quick Silver 3) 3:21-Silver Bugles 4) 4:09-Le Régiment de Sambre et Meuse
Hi Delvin, good to hear from you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks for the 4 missing march names - I've now incorporated them into my Description of the video. This was the first time I'd ever seen this band, complete with bugles, first-hand, and it was certainly a spectacular sight and sound! I know that there are a few videos of it on TH-cam, but, in particular at Windsor, they are few and far between.
@@MikeM14-40 Hello Mike, I certainly enjoyed the video! Difficult not to! Always happy to help with the marches, specially these rare ones. It must've been a grand sight seeing and hearing those bugles get closer and closer! Take care Sir and stay safe! Best wishes to you and yours!
@@thecurlew7403 Hi Light infantry always call the bayonet a sword, it stems from the history of the regiments, it’s just one of the characteristics of the British Army Regiment systems, also The Royal Green Jackets, can toast the King /Queen sitting down in the mess, just another little quirk of different regiments history.
Hi, Mike! Thank you for videoing. I see my favorite policeman, “officer backward step,” my elderly gentleman friend (green jacket), and maybe my lady friend? Someone that looked like her was holding a cellphone up
Hi Charlotte, and thanks! I trust you saw that your gentleman friend actually appeared in 2 different places in this video, and also appeared right near me in the previous video on 25 April (the video on which comments had been turned off for some reason). I actually saw and heard your favourite policeman having a quick informal chat with a couple of spectators after the parade yesterday. He was shorter than I expected and, although I don't like trying to guess at people's accents, sounded as if he comes from a lot further north, not from the local area. His deportment and bearing is, as you say, superb. I didn't, unfortunately, see your lady friend yesterday, but that doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't there!
Hello@@johnsabini2330 , yes, I thought it sounded slightly fast on the return march as well, compared to what the Household guards usually march at, although I haven't measured it with a metronome.
I really enjoyed this band! I admire how the Rifles march at such a quick pace. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Hi Debra, I'm glad you enjoyed it! For the first part, they're marching uphill as well!

Brings back many memories, marching at 140 , SLR at the trail with sword fitted.
Thanks for the comment, Stan.
Surely not a sword a bayonet you mean😊

@@stansadler8113RGJ no toast to the monarch as considered no need to declare their loyalty as proven by deeds.
I’d never seen a change arms at the trail before. That was cool.

@@MikeM14-40 feel free to ship mr officer to America at any time 🤭I wondered about that video. I was like, “Mike. What’s going on?” 😐🥹
Guards seemed to be marching at more than 120 did the band get carried away on the return barracks?

Great video. Only band fast enough for the Gurkhas, haha! And neat how they went back to 120 for the old guard.
Thanks for the comment daredevil - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
116 for old guard
Hi@@Nathan.150 , and thanks for the information.
