    The Ghurkas. Best fighters in the world. True friends of Britain.

      Thanks for the comment! The Queen's Gurkha Signals (as the Guard) and/or the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas (providing the musical support) are due, according to the schedule, to be appearing again at Windsor a few more times over the next few weeks.

    Very dynamic! There’s almost a feeling of a 33 rpm record being played at 45 rpm, if I’ve remembered the right terminology from the days of records.

      Thanks SecretSpiski! Yes, that's the right terminology - like playing a 33rpm "vinyl" at 45rpm, or even a 45rpm at 78rpm.

      An Uncle of mine was in the DLI in WW2, i believe the Gurkhas are the same a light infantry regiment same marching speed.

      Hi@@Coolerman565 , yes, I believe that to be the case. Light Infantry, and Gurkhas, march at about 140 beats per minute (bpm), whereas regular infantry march at about 116 to 120 bpm. Hopefully somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

    Great video Mike, did you get out of breath watching them?😉It’s incredible that they can play so well whilst marching at that pace. Thanks for getting out there and sharing your endeavours👍

      Thanks very much Ann! Yes, as a former player it certainly makes me get out of breath thinking about all the notes having to be played in such a short space of time, and then the very short spaces in which to breathe. And of course doing it while marching, and having to do it sustainably over a period of time without showing signs of strain. To get up to the castle quickly for the middle part I usually have to "nip" up a side street, and of course there was probably less time to do this, as well!

    The escorting Bobby's are looking a mite unfit.

      I just wish the coppers would walk beside the band , rather than obscuring it from in front. Not even sure they're necessary.
