    But she doesn't oppress anyone she doesn't control the educational system. She doesn't rule she reigns and has a high approval rating she is the Queen she's cool. I'm free to think what I want and I support the Monarchy.

      "anachronism."
      If it still serves a SERIOUS PURPOSE, it cannot be an 'anachronism', surely ?
      The SWORD and the CAVALRY HORSE may be anachronisms in terms of modern warfare, but ceremonial such as this, which instills pride in our Armed Forces, and reinforces the _ésprit de corps_ of the men taking part serves the same function it always has.

    Took part in 39RQR Trooping the Colours parade in Australia about 45 years ago. From memory the 50th Anniversary of the Regiment receiving there Colours.
    No Queen there. Just the Governor General of Australia.
    Was good experience. Made up for the 14 x 4 hour rehearsals leading up to it.
    We were Battalion strength. About 600 blokes.
    I will always remember all the hidden marks we had on the ground and sight points we had to keep everybody in line and tuning at the correct time and all the secret commands and signals nobody looking on knows about.
    Our Regimental Sergeant Major had been a Queens Guard. He was the boss and trainer.
    The full Trooping the Colours takes a long time.

    Most British army regiments will have a 'full dress' which will be a more traditional dress like this. Not many regiments ever get to wear it apart from the guards or the regiments band.
    When other regiments fill in for a guards regiment at Buckingham palace etc they'd usually wear No.1 dress, which is a more standard military blue/black dress.
    The most common dress uniform you'll usually see is the green No. 2 service dress.

    I don't believe there is any reason to pass insults. We all love our respective countries, no matter what lies, betrayal etc happens. No one lives in a country where stuff like that doesn't happen. Royalhighlander is proud of his service and his country, as he should be. That is a military unit and as someone here said, some bad ass soldiers. I live in the USA and I love it. We also have bad ass military men and women. Do I agree with everything that happens and has happened? No I don't. Everyone can agree to disagree without hurling insults. To stir the pot a bit, I really do love the royal family and it's history. But I also love the Ivory Coast dancers and all that their dances convey. My suggestion to anyone that doesn't like their country - move.

    Discipline is the cornerstone of this country's army for it has been the key to Britain's victories. We have never had the man-power like that of the continental European nations but British soldiers are without a doubt the best trained and equipped soldiers in all of Europe. The U.S. and Russia on the other hand... well I think we can all agree in saying that they now vastly surpass this country in military capacity. Britain was the dominant world superpower for almost a century from 1815 to 1914 and we had the best navy ever since we established maritime dominance over the Dutch, Spanish and French in the 17th and 18th centuries right up to the end of ww2 and which not only squared up to and bested Napoleon and Hitler but basically mapped the majority of the worlds oceans and coastlines.

    @Earthlinked Its not a free pay cheque, you're misinformed. King George was having trouble paying his bills and had racked up debt. While he did own huge tracts of land, the profit from their rental was too small to cover his expenses. He offered a deal to parliament: for the rest of his life he would surrender the profits from the rents on his land in exchange for getting a fixed annual salary and having his debts removed. The UK make an estimated £200 Million in revenue from this land a year.

    We were the first into the war and we suffered the most until the Russians were ready to enter the war. Let me put it into perspective:
    911 was a terrible ordeal that took the lives of thousands. The British went through that ordeal nearly every day, but still we fought on. The Russians were the ones to take most of the pressure off of us, not the US.

    The monarchy plays a constitutional role in the UK, and without it, we'd be saddled with a president - or worse.
    If you disagree, then please read "The English Constitution" by Walter Bagehot (1867) - this the seminal work on the subject.
    A constitutional monarchy conveys a range of distinct advantages to our democratic system, but 500 characters on TH-cam is hardly the place for the discussion.

    Before my family left for the America's in the 1600's they (my ancestors that is) lived in Scotland. We've been able to trace the lineage back far enough to know that we had family members in the original Black Watch. I wish I knew more about them...but that aside, I love watching military marches, especially European ones. I'm in the US Army and most our "ceremonies" always seem so....cheap...and....I don't know..."wonky" for lack of a better word.

    At the Battle of Waterloo, the Grenadier Guards defeated the French Old Guard and we basically stole their hats.

    No, we have a constitution - part written, part unwritten. Nowhere is it carved in stone that a constitution must be wholly a written document.
    Our individual rights are guaranteed by our constitution, not by the monarch, although the constitutional function of the monarchy is to uphold and protect our rights, as the sovereign power of the state.
    I don't quite know what you're trying to say with: "... if the monarchy failed ..."

    @sckryde lol. Magic powers would be epic. No, I just meant that, in theory, the queen still has some powers, and one is that she may conficsate property as she sees fit. It's only in theory though. In real life, she wouldn't be able to do it.

    @Earthlinked The Queen-in-Parliament is the sovereign source of legal authority in the UK, and many government powers depend for their authority upon the direct action of the Royal Prerogative, albeit exercised by ministers of the Crown and not the Queen herself. Abolishing the monarchy would entail a total restructuring of the British constitution, and perhaps even having a written constitution, like America.

    The Royal Canadian Armed Forces (Canadian Army) has basses in eight or nine states, and Royal Canadian Legion branches all over the US, the majority of them are in California and Florida. I know we also maintain a full naval base in New York, aside from that we control the DEW line, and have access to your nuclear facilities to better protect North America, Canada can actually launch your nukes without your approval in "a time national security."

    A man isn't truly free until he bows or grovels to no one or no system or no prince or king--a man is free when he has sent them all to hell--long live the name of Spartacus!!!

    No, he did something worthy--he showed us we don't have to take shit from self proclaimed nobles and masters. We were not born to slaves to anyone or any system. LONG LIVE SPARTACUS!!!! AND MAY ALL HIERARCHY FALL!!!

    Imagine a world where no man bows to any other. Where we the people can just be who they are without this nonsense of hierarchy hanging above us constantly--a caste system done away with forever. Imagine it because it can be so if only others stopped bowing to those who are self proclaimed princesses and emperors--this is a new age and with it a new world view--Long Live the name of Spartacus! And long live freedom!

    You're not even British why do you care who we celebrate. I much prefer the Queen above our politicians she does serve the British people as she has done her entire life that's why she is respected as our non political head of state the embodiment of the nation that's why she is treated the way she is I don't think she is grater than me as a person but what she stands for is my country.

    She also invites the PM to form a government in her name. I think they call that a democratic regent, or something alone those lines. She does bring some cash in though. We Americans could take a lesson from the Brits and honor our history with traditions. They do a much better job of that than we do.
