Marilyn,you are right to feel proud,but i do hope you don't fall into the current populist rhetoric that is being peddled by some north of the border.United we stand, divided we fall.
One truly appreciates how powerful their ensemble timbre really is when you can hear every instrument at 8:35 when the band is roughly 100 meters away. Smashing!
Bloody smart looking, a great sound and feel very proud . My brother in law used to be the dog handler with Irish Guards and I just used to be bursting with pride
As my old band leader would say not to mention a Canadian WWII vet but a great musician, "now here's a tune or two that will get us down the street! Love the bass drum 4 beats, and great double forte. What a sound!!
For anyone who is wondering, the Drum Majors seen in the video are: Senior Drum Major Damian Thomas, Drum Major Scott Fitzgerald, Drum Major Andrew Crew, Drum Major Harry Sutton, and Drum Major Jack Barker. The marches heard in the video are: 1. Scarlet and Gold 2. Arnhemland 3. Normandy Veterans
The third march is 'Normandy Veterans' composed by Chris North, the former Bandmaster of The Band of The Duke of Wellington's Regiment, in the year 1986. It was the official march of the 'Normandy Veterans' Association' which disbanded in 2014 and was clearly chosen on this occasion to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D - Day.
Don't even bother joining Her Majesty's forces if you don't think you can learn to march like a, God! Everything these guys and gals do is done with top notch discipline! Only the best for the Queen.
Eric, the Met Police Mounted Div spend a great deal of time escorting/protecting the ceremonial duties troops and are often overlooked; it was a lovely gesture.
We Brits maybe can't sort out the mess of lately i.e. Brexit !! But at least we know how to put on a bit of Bloody good Marching to Music . Saturday I'll be wearing my Late Fathers Miniature Service Medals in respect for him and other fallen Soldiers, and all Military Personal.
David: Would be an honor to meet you, sir! I salute your late father! Perhaps, he was of the greatest generation and valiantly defended the British homeland? I'm hoping to make it to the UK next year as I am creating a memorial to honor the eleven bandsmen of Her Majesty's Royal Marines who perished in the bombing of the Deal Depot in 1989. My hope is that they will accept my gesture at the Montbatten Festival of Music 2021. I consider myself a displaced British citizen of 60 years as my ancestors hail from Scotland. I greatly admire the British (flaws and all) and have always felt a strong connection to the British Isles.
Please oh please don't let him win the election, I'm working class but I hate the labour party if he gets in I hope the young ones who vote him in are paying for it until they are old,by the way the band is great

Gael Moore I'm 4 months late but, the names of the marches are as follows, first is "Scarlet and Gold" by Lloyd Thomas, second is "Arnhem" by Albert Edward Kelly, and finally "Normandy Veterans March" by Chris North. Hope this helps!
The Drum Major nearest the camera from 5.55 onwards is half a second out when swinging his right arm when compared to the other 4 Drum Majors ..... how weird ? I've watched him on numerous occasions and it's the same every time. (okay, only a technicality but weird all the same)
the last rank left file drummer from the Welsh guards corps of drums is wearing a drummers sword , anyone know what's up with that? Drummers swords were abolished in 1905 .
Each year the Director of Infantry selects the drummer (L/Cpl or Cpl) who has contributed most during the year. That drummer receives a sword contributed by the Worshipful Company of Cutlers and is therefore known as the Cutlers Sword. The sword is presented by the Lord Mayor of London at the Lord Mayor's Show. The Corps of Drums Society plays a role in organizing these events.
From Europe,what would would we be without you ??? Don''t leave us PLEAS,as you are one of us and we are one of you !!! The only person that wil be happy about this is PUTIN Are we realy gooing to give him that on a silver plate ??? I won't
Good Evening GrindupBaker They Are Beating Retreat To Mark the Close of Day when Drummers used to Sound Retreat on the Ramparts of a garrison Town and summon the Troops to barracks at the end of a working Day The Ceremony That The Bands have just Carried out on Horse Guards Parade has developed to include Massed Bands Corps of Drums Pipes & Drums and the Mounted Band of The Household Cavalry The Royal Marines also Beat Retreat on Horse Guards to honour The Duke of Edinburgh''s Birthday
grindupBaker Oh hey, google is your friend but for the hard of fingers here’s a précis: History Of Beating Retreat Beating Retreat has its origins in the early years of organised warfare when beating or sounding retreat called a halt to the days fighting, a return to camp and the mounting of the guard for the night.

Marvellous, enough said.
Brought a tear to my eye with the salute, just after the horses left parade.
Eric, the Met Police Mounted Div spend a great deal of time escorting/protecting the ceremonial duties troops and are often overlooked; it was a lovely gesture.
An Officer and a gentleman.
Great sound and footage.
Military bands are always fun. Loud and boisterous.
Superb video, pretty sure "Arnhem" was one of the marches ?, massed bands should all be at Arnhem in September for the 75th Anniversary.
chelseachelseaboy yes at 3.26 it's a belter isn't !
What brilliant military music at Trooping the Colour!
Beautiful sound! Your next birthday present: a stabilising gimbal for your camera.
Absolutely fab those trombones get you at the end of Arnhem. World class😍
It makes me so proud to be British. The music was rousing, my feet were tapping!
Beautiful music beautiful
I love the way the Guards hide their shorter members at the rear.
Magnificent

Just to be clear, this is the march from Wellington Barracks to Horse Guards Parade, where the actual ceremony of Beating Retreat takes place.
The only upload capturing the soldiers appreciation to the police officers for their assistance - a touching gesture of courtesy, only seen by a few.
Awesome
