    The sound-engineers who recorded this deserve a medal. Placing the microphones to pick up all the sound over such a wide space with such immediacy was a real feat.

    Who ever took the decision to have the v.i.p. stand near to the war memorial should be given a tot of rum(or two).So much better for all watching the display and to have the back drop of the beautiful buildings.When Prince Philip took the salute years ago facing the sun,the Queen would be sat up in the window with the darkest of sun glasses on because of the sun right in her eyes.Great performance,I would not expect anything less.

    Its the way they play solidly for over an hour on what looks a hot day and the marching, thats what gets me, you can't tell the difference between them marching or standing still playing. The mix of modern and traditional always gets me as well. Bravo to everyone involved.

    Absolutely love the Royal Marines Bands. My husband served 12 years in the ‘mob’ ending up as a Petty Officer in the Fleet Air Arm.
    I saw many Beating of the Retreat and Sunset ceremonies as a young navy wife.
    I found out that my Great Great Grandfather Samuel Parker joined the Royal Marines and served in the Crimean War. He died in 1909.
    So proud of my links to the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines.

      Each time the band splits, there is one 'leading' and at least one 'following' band. It is the job of the following band's bass drummer to keep their band in step and in musical time with the leading band. This is why we do it 👍

    Reminds me of this from Kipling (Recessional)
    My earnest appreciation for those who keep us safe.
    Recessional
    God of our fathers, known of old,
    Lord of our far-flung battle line,
    Beneath whose awful hand we hold
    Dominion over palm and pine -
    Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
    Lest we forget-lest we forget!
    The tumult and the shouting dies;
    The Captains and the Kings depart:
    Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
    An humble and a contrite heart.
    Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
    Lest we forget-lest we forget!
    Far-called, our navies melt away;
    On dune and headland sinks the fire:
    Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
    Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
    Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
    Lest we forget-lest we forget!
    If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
    Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
    Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
    Or lesser breeds without the Law-
    Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
    Lest we forget-lest we forget!
    For heathen heart that puts her trust
    In reeking tube and iron shard,
    All valiant dust that builds on dust,
    And, guarding, calls not Thee to guard;
    For frantic boast and foolish word-
    Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord![4]
