I wasn't a bandsman,I was just in the Regiment,It was always a moral booster when the band turned up to perform.....wherever we were in the world. Thanks again Nomsky
The big, red gargantua leading the charge down the road is absolutely fantastic. Could watch him all day. And the band is super. Plus the guards always look great.
Guy up front looks like a Blue Meanie from the Yellow Submarine... or they look like him. I love the little conducty thing he does at 1:47. He does it again on the way back.
Audrey Poulter I sort of agree with you and H.M Jollies is a great R.M march, however I have heard the Royal Marines Band play The Voice Of The Guns which is a Artillery march, which was very good. :-)
Audrey Poulter An interesting point as "HM Jollies" and "Voice of the Drums" were both written by F.J.Ricketts, aka Kenneth Alford. "Voice.." was written when he was Bandmaster in the 2nd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in 1917, and HM Jollies when he was a Lieutenant at the RM Depot in Deal in 1929
spentacle Thank you for this great piece of info. Did you know that he also composed, The thin Red Line, Colonel Bogey and On The Quarter Deck! K J Alford has composed so many great marches.
As an ex member of The Life Guards ( 1966-1972) This video has made me grow 6inch taller.......Thanks for the memories. Nomsky
Susan Smith I am glad you enjoyed my video and it brought back happy memories; they are still excellent musicians. What instrument did you play.

Amazing video! Loved HM Jollies especially the tempo, dynamics! Well done
I was interested to see the LG Right Marker carrying his trombone like a Marine, i.e. parallel with the ground. Is there a reason for this?
Love Colchester castle!!
My favourite march too! Thanks for the comment and I hope you are keeping well in these strange times!
The best of the best, envy of the world.

hexonatapeloop that's how he cuts the music
The old guard march into barracks to 'The Grenadiers Return'.
Certainly is interesting hearing and seeing the Household Cavalry Band play HM Jollies. The sight does not match up with the march haha
Director of music life guards 🇬🇧💂
Aint no way blud thought they're a royal marine fan 💀
nope tony, its the Household Cavalry Regiment... since 1992
it's the regiment of th life guards
As an ex member of The HM Royal Marines I don't see why they can play HM jollies as it is purely a RM march
