- Part 4 - Escort to the Queen's Colour of the Scots Guards
360 years of Trooping the Colour - Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Parade 2011
BBC
The music is provided by the Massed Bands of the Foot Guards and the Mounted Bands of the Household Cavalry, together with a Corps of Drums and occasionally pipers, totaling approximately 400 musicians.
To the strains of "The Grenadiers' Slow March", the Escort To the Colour then troops the colour down the long line of Nos 6-2 Guards. The colour itself is borne by the Ensign in front of the line of Guards, but the ranks of the Escort interweave with their ranks. For Nos 6-2 Guards, who maintain the 'present arms' position, the long trooping, especially on a hot day, requires stamina.
Eventually the Escort arrives back at its original position as no. 1 Guard - from where it first marched off in quick time. Their Captain, who had temporarily ceded his command to the Subaltern, resumes his command over No. 1 Guard by ordering them to present arms, thus bringing the Escort back in line with Nos 2-6 Guards. The entire parade is now ordered by the Field Officer to slope arms, thus concluding the Trooping phase.
The Trooping phase is followed by the March Past in Slow and Quick Time of the Foot Guards and then the Household Cavalry with King's Troop, also in slow and quick time.

These traditions might be yonks old but we must not let them die.
kotugirl Weerasekare you need to take a chill pill man lol
Children are being taught to despise their British heritage these days.
As long as UK still monarchy , these Traditions will never died
Bridget Doman I say that about old comments.
That's because they're old that must be preserved.
Hundreds of years of proud British military culture in this event. Wonderful! May Britain last another thousand years!
From Belgium , thank you to our British brothers. MAY WE STAND UNITED.
[Germany enters the chat]
@Just Gofish no just no
Man, I love this country. We have a duty to protect our rich traditions.
Boooy, your colonizing senses tingeling?
@@TheLiberatorr
Nothing to do with colonising.
The countries that have come under British Rule haven't faired too badly.
@@gazza2933 yes but at the expense of other countries
@@tandemfandom1 I don't see the U.S as a haven either.
@@averagejoe8358 still better than Haiti
British military ceremonies are so incredibly beautiful, it's as if it is in their blood.
Well it kinda is if you look at it lol
That is why we are so good !!!!
doggo well, we’ve been doing it longer than most...
I have to say that i’ve seen sharper performances in previous years.
(Let me add straight away...I couldn’t do it...I struggled to keep step in remembrance day parades....the band were always a couple of hundred yards in front, so you saw the front of the column set off before the sound of the drum beat reached us...confused my little brain)
Teutonic discipline and militaristic order
Britain has no equal when it comes to pomp and ceremony.Its a long tradition
The Poms do this stuff better than any other country. The whole country is a history lesson. 3 million tourists each year come to the UK to watch this. Commonwealth countries all do this to various degree. The same movements, music, formations, rank system...everything. What is also worth remembering is that these are all regular combat soldiers. In the Guards who went to Afghanistan, the bass drum player had a leg blown off. Within a year he was back there in the band. You would never know.
The discipline that these men have is incredible and it translates onto the battlefield
Doesent mean crap. The US got beaten in Vietnam by flipflop farmers. The US and NATO was beat in Afghanistsn by sandal farmers. In Korea they were beaten back by sandal farmers.
Discipline doesent mean crap if the orders are garbage and if they cant shoot right
Osama Obama just because they were beat doesn’t mean they have a
shit discipline
These are the Guards, they're the best of the infantry. All these men have proven themselves in combat zones.
They make me proud to be British.

@@AbuHajarAlBugatti brits almost defeated communist in vietnam right after ww2 until the french came and fucked it up.
These guys are also VERY good at fighting - God bless them.
To my British cousins : I am very impressed. Much respect from the USA.🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧.
And I tilt my hat to you, sir, and thank you my dear American cousins.
Respect to our american cousins 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
Our respect to you Bill for saying so, this is our history here and please God they never disband it. The old England is dead but this pride of ours keeps hanging on.
I wish britain never chose to fight Germany over france
At dunkirk they had no choice and France chose to stay so they could make sure the allies got back safely and then they surrendered if church hill was around at the time instead of propaganda drops on berlin it would have beem bombs
0:44 loving this. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🏴
Greeting back from England mein Freund :D 🇩🇪 🇬🇧
No matter how often I watch this ceremony, I never tire of it , I have rarely missed watching over the last 20 years. No one does it better.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✊🏼👌🏻
Once enemies, now greatest allies and friends!
Cheers from America! God bless you all!
Hundreds of years of tradition and honour that is the guards regiments,, salute to all the soldiers past and present,, ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland
God save the Queen, from Belfast, Northern Ireland

Respect. 8 years to late. England Loves you. GB
8 Years to late for my reply*
That's a bold statement
This one right here wants to pay more taxes, good to you sir. I hope they get every damn dime of yours, they deserve it.
As a Frenchman, I wish we had the same respect for our own country and traditions.
The french are allowing to many immigrants in,thats the french biggest problem though we are not free of that either.The french have a big history like the british lets not lose either great nations
France, England, two of the oldest titans this earth ever bore.
We may not have the same relevance as before, but the simple fact of being still here after so many years and wars is a testimony of a nation's worth.
May our countries both flourish and preserve their character no matter our side of the channel, god save the queen, vive la France.
Steady! We wish you had actually said at Waterloo, in response to the request for the Old Guard to surrender, "Merde". But, you insist that some officer gave some diatribe. No. Soldiers would have given the monosyllabic "merde" as a reposte. A brave fight.
hear hear... and I am not French..
Such a shame dude. I wish you the best of luck for you and your country.
Commonwealth strong, the Maple Leaf Forever. 🍁 🇨🇦 God Bless our Allies, standing together for freedom!!
God Bless Canada 🇨🇦
britain is a beacon for all of us, common citizens pf this beleaguered world with a deep, fond attachment to the virtues of a society based in justice, fairness and the rule of the law, outstanding each and every nation britain is the land of fairness and respect for all, ethnic , cultural and religious minorities included
You are right even though we aren’t perfect and all that we stand for something that is good and clean and we do what we have to do and that is that
Though it might seem archaic and old fasioned, you can't beat a beat of pomp and ceremony and us Brits do it better than anyone, proud to say I served for six years in the Scots Guards and did one troop 1987 .
Our British cousins present as noble a parade as any there is. Proud to call them friend as we any we have....Up the British!
Thank you cousin so much, we have your back USA Canada Australia New Zealand always.
We must not forget our own and our friends ever
i'm so proud of my country.
Respect, from France.
I tilt my hat to you too sir.
@@mrcockney-nutjob3832 Thanks a lot.
Ah j’adore la France! J’apprends français :D
Le sur les soldats français non pas la gloire d'avoir résister aussi longtemps en face aux troupes allemandes en 40...
Et le courage britannique surpasse largement la lâcheté française qui n'a d'ailleurs pour égal que sa stupidité
@@jordandelamotte8471 Oui enfin...cela appelle tout de même quelques nuances.
British Army.... Makes your proud to be from these Isles. Thank you all for your service.
I really hope we don’t give up on these traditions.
British and proud Long live the commonwealth God Save the Queen!
The way the massed band 'spins' around without getting entangled is incredible.
it is not written down anywhere, it is passed on from one Drum major to the other .
Thank you for this superb video. I especially appreciated the commentary, explaining what is happening. As a South African, watching from across the sea, I so admire the incredible perfectionism of the British forces. The traditions, pride and respect of these soldiers is something that we sorely miss in our own country.
Respect. From the Netherlands.
Jan de Jong
We don't need a Dutch man's respect, it was help we needed, especially in WW1...but you let you neighbour twice suffer , l have so much Respect and love for those guys,...and you country me treat and think of than a low life's....at least they were with England, so do me a big favour with your begrudgingly respect, stand feet apart, look through your legs if you can see your arse say hallo to it
English Mik.
@@michaelpalmer937 you guys have some great traditions, but damn thats a bitter attitude. you are not really this ignorant.
@@michaelpalmer937 Idiot.
Lets hope our country keeps its pride and values!
Long Live The Empire!!
Unfortunately that empire died along with our pride and values
Wich Empire?
Stereotypical British Man the British fleet never had the pride of the danish
@@hansgruber788 The empire never died, it was simply reduced in size at the will of the British. nothing lasts forever.
@@Timonster007 No one has EVER had the pride that the British have had, but only a British person can witness that pride, it is something you will never know.
I love how smooth and efficient the commands are from command.
Escort for the colour, in close order, Left Dress.
Along with the others.
Greetings from the US
Many years ago I trooped for the Queen Mother while with the Black Watch... a proud time
Royalhighlander what do the red or blue feathers on the hats mean?
i think its a regimental identification like british grenadiers and etc. maybe.
@@jansandman6983 I believe so
Red is Coldstream guards
Green and white is welsh
Blue is Scots
And I’m not sure what Irish is but green guards don’t wear a plume as there the most senior guards regiment
Thomas Gardiner I know this I was on about foot guards
AWESOME. My Mother is from Toronto, Canada. I have always appreciated the Royal Family. My Great Grandfather was a Commissary General. General John Mason of the British Army.
Respect from philipines
Love 'em or hate 'em NO ONE does pomp and ceremony like the Brits!
Others can hate us but as you've probably gathered we just don't give a toss what others think, we carry on.
awesome
i'm an Australian Air Force Cadet and ANZAC Day is coming up in 6 days and i think i'm getting the same feeling these guys were getting 6 days before trooping the colour
beautiful army, regiment, drill and country
Isn’t this special and awesome! Here in the states, can’t even get people to stand or remover their cover at the playing of the National Anthem. Thank you 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh shut up !
@@cashew515 nice puppy, good for target practice, sweet 💜
@@bohhica1 ruthless! 😂
Long live the Queen! - from Canongate Kirk, Scotland :)
Her Majesty watches every move you can bet she knows every move and will spot the minutest error.
And so will the officers,make a mistake and the squaddie will know about it when its over
The Greatest Generation, still setting the standaed.
i love the british empire and traditions !!! greetings from preussia
What is Preussia?
This ceremony I can imagine brings back fond memories of when her majesty participated in it on horseback
Bravo! This is what i call military tradition.
Mesmerizing can't get enough of it
We have deep respect for our English brethren. Wish you all the best in our time of hardship. Keep calm and wash your hands.
Cheers from across the pond,

In this description of the video it says "Part 4 - Escort to the Queen's Colour of the Scots Guards " ... "Scots Guards" are not English and they would stab with you their bayonet if you called them English.
Thank you but it British please
Respect to the british army....from malaysia
Ok
To protect our Sovereign Lady The Queen from all enemies both domestic and foreign.
the best drill on the planet. no contenders.
Thank you to all you out there who are not so fortunate to have been born British including all Commonwealth citizens who have come to our aid over the years, decades, centuries. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for your kind and generous comments
PROUD to be a British Army Veteran (1964-1970)
Is that a standard enlistment- 6 years?
And does the Queen have the draft?
Yanks could enlist for 6 years and we do have an inactive draft that only requires males to register.
@AJ K. Lawson : Interesting.
Thanks for clearing my curiously!
Im from the US and I love watching Trooping the Colour.. I hope I can see this live one day
Mind blowing British Army Ancestors of most of all Modern Asian Armies😊
schön das es so etwas noch gibt!
nice that such things still exist!
Considerably different to a Colours Parade I was involved with in Australia about 46 years ago. Battalion strength. All the Battalion marched.
Damn that would be awesome
I love it when he shouts up loudly orders and military music too. It's looking good. Red coat warriors. God save the Queen! You can be proud when you are British and saw this ceremony 😉👍
This Trooping The Colors is very, very excitingly beautiful to me! In her younger days, Queen Elizabeth 11 was on horseback... a truly great sight to see! I see her watching here, and I would guess that she just might be thinking that it would be great to be on horseback rather than sitting there!! Ha! What a GREAT woman is Queen Elizabeth 11! Long Live The Queen!
Newnecker1 Let us hope that one day there will be!
Kathleen, This is a BRITISH ceremony so it's COLOUR, note the U and no S.
wath is the real name of Queen Elisabeth?..... Rebecca Schwarz?? hehehhehe
Kathleen Hazeldine n
It is Trooping the colour..not color.
Das genau ist Heimat aller Briten weltweit.Eine ganz besondere Ehrung der Königin einer ganz besonderen Frau .
There was a time when it was possible to watch the Trooping on TV, with the absolute minimum of commentary and no chat. If only we could return to those days!
The same in Germany 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇪🇺
British officers, Canadian soldiers and American technology.. That would be the greatest fighting force. God Save The Queen! Respect from Canada.
British Tech is as good if not better
@@craigjones7794 He was quoting Churchill.
@@paulgeach9319 i know but i still believe what i said
Most of all countrys in the World have lost their great traditions.
Glad that some keep them^^.
Irishman here. Just wish there was never tensions between are two countries. I have relations who were in the British army during ww2. When the British empire was massive yous struck fear into the heart of every country you invaded.
And i support an English football team as well and I have English relatives too.
During lockdown I have been walking around the outside of my house at least 65 times per day, using marching music it helped make it easy. In 12 weeks I walked about 140 miles.
It is now 18 weeks and I now do 100 laps per day and have done 220 miles I am finishing lockdown this coming Friday 31st
@@royhaynes336 Good exercise that's a heck of a distance!
Since lockdown finished I walk around my Housing estate for about 3 miles per day.
TH-cam is one of the best things to have happened to Britain’s profile worldwide. Where else would people of all nations be able to enjoy and appreciate the history and amazing discipline of these parades.
of all the world's greatest heroes there's non that can compare to the ta ra ra ra ra ra ra of the British grenadier 💂💂💂
@Herman Greenfield, under penalty of death, it's the leftist way.
Keep spewing that well-chewed lie.
@Herman Greenfield That the government's of China and North Korea are conservative. Pity you ran out of your brain medicine just as you were getting started.🤯.
@Herman Greenfield Sweetheart first off if your gonna insult me try and spell, stick with your big red crayon when you write cos your not very competent with your finger. Now calm your passions halfwit and enjoy real men marching not terrified half starved North Koreans or Robotic Chinese.
Herman Greenfield Hahaha you can’t compare the mass band of the British army to any other. No country has anywhere near the quality when it comes to bands. There is a reason the grenadier Guards band is flown all over the world to perform at the cost of millions because they are the best. This year the grenadiers are organising the trooping so it’s going to be extra special.
Superbly emotional. Long live traditions of Britain the Great.
Nobody does ceremony better than the British!
I worked on The Mall and we were able to use the balcony and watch the Queen come down The Mall sidesaddle. She was beautiful. Love the slow march. Very emotional and proud.
Oh c'mon!!!!!!!!! Play those bagpipes, lads!!!!!!!!!!🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why would they play the bagpipes if it's the Grenadiers?
Oh, it's hard to tell if they were scots guards from a distance
Callum Whitehouse actually they are Scots Guards, the British Grenadiers is always played at this point in the parade regardless of the regiment.
@@FrehleyFan3988 Count the buttons on the tunic, Scots are 3 above 3.
Both the Scots and Irish pipes played later and it was truly a sight and sound to behold!
Speaking as an American Civil War reenactor, keeping alignment, pace, maintenance of frontage and military bearing IS 'a bit of a miracle' at any time. It takes a Hell of a lot of practice even for troops of the obvious quality of Guards to get it right.
My respects to all involved.
Carl Hicks Jr the drill movements performed here are the ones that the British army used to maneuver in battle during the 18th and 19th century.
@@kelvinktfong And all these maneuvers just put weight of shot onto the enemy. :) Two centuries worth of very smart people tried to simplify and clarify the orders to get formations into proper order to deliver it.... with only moderate success.
Ah, to be young again and be able to march with such precision!
Nobody does it better, so proud. I remember my passing out parade
Proud to be British. 👍 💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂
If disillusioned British people wonder what their culture is, THIS is your culture, be proud of it. Like the Pacific islands and NZ Haka, or the Ghurka Khukri dance, this is the British war dance. Order, bright colours, pomp, ceremony, massed bands. Its a wonderful thing.

Superb ! Nothing like it anywhere.
Wonderful. Britain as we know it.
I saw trooping the Colour with my Late Father , ex Major Royal Engineers when I was 6 years old. His favourite programme on T.V marking the Queens official Birthday.
[THANK-YOU]-A-FELLOW.CANADIAN.
Love the quick march and the slow march music of the Grenadier Guards amazing to watch
As a Yank, I have grown to learn that one does not mess with England, or Canada without pissin' off us, as well.
(Edit: 29 May 20)
ACK! That goes cheerfully and respectfully to the ANZACS as well! 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
You guys kicked Rommel's ass in North Africa!
Don't piss U.S. off...
As a Brit that works both ways my friend
thank you capie44.
USA our true buddies a bond you can not break ever.
England will always be loyal to USA and visa versa.we have too much shared history.
Us three, we’re soul mates
Love it when the Escort FOR the Colour changes to Escort TO the Colour.

Now that's how to do a parade!!
A proud moment for any soldier to troop their colours with their battle honours on it in front of their Queen and to do so smartly and with excellent timing.
Yet one more reason that validates my freakin love of being born "ENGLISH"
British!!!!!!
ENGLISH
Yep the day after you get a brain transplant you old hag
So what are you? A Muslim, a junkie or a moped robber?????
I am a proud VETERAN who served his Queen and Country for over 7 years and in 2 conflicts So what did you do to serve your country dipstick? ! let me guess FUCK ALL
Never get tired of watching this.
If it were not for the the British Empire, Canada would have been nothing more than a giant trading outpost for natural resources. Instead it is home to some of the greatest centers of learning, first among them McGill and Queen's College, a world famous police force and judiciary, public servants of the highest probity, clean and light handed government. That is the legacy of Great Britain on the Canadian Commonwealth. God Protect Canada. God Save the Queen!!
They are so synced and that's just in ceremony traditions ❤
Fpr the benefit of those who have never walked across this parade ground - it slopes in two directions, the lower corner near the end of Downing Street becomes a mini lake in heavy rain, the surface (bar the central road which goes through the arches), is sandy, therefore, not solid. Up and down, up and down you go - not quite like a beach, but nothing like Red Square or anything like that. How they manage to retain their formation as well as they do is totally amazing - though the occasional ankle goes over - I gather it's all about counting, countng, counting.
JOG ON TURD BREATH
Not sandy, it's smoothed and compacted pea gravel.
To protect Our Soverign Lady, The QUEEN , from all enemies, domestic and foreign.
Kudos to you sir, a voice of reason in a sea of ignorance :)
