Grand music, so smooth from one tune to another and a great selection. I love their uniforms especially the green cape. They are fine ambassadors for all on this island.
excellent .. thise men are really fit..all that marching and blowing into the bagpipes at the same time ...and great to hear the Irish tunes being used...
Great video! I have found another channel! For anyone interested the marches played were, 1) 0:20-Company Marches of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards ¹ The Star of the County Down ² Holy Ground ³ Boys of Wexford ⁴ The Green Glens of Atrim ⁵ The South Down Militia (Return to Barracks) 2) 7:09-The Minstrel Boy 3) 7:21-The Sash My Father Wore 4) 7:56-The Wearing of the Green 5) 8:32-Fare Ye Well Inniskilling 6) 9:08-Kelly the Boy from Killane (They Repeat Again)
I know they’re good marching tunes but ‘The Boys of Wexford’ and ‘The Wearing of the Green’ are curious choices for a British Army band. The former is about the 1798 rebellion by the Irish _against_ the British and the latter is about kicking the British out of Ireland. But, hey, whatever floats your boat!! 😃
I enjoyed this immensely! For 2 reasons: My maternal grandfather served in WWI in the Cold Stream Guards and did his training based at Combermere Barracks on Sheet Street, Windsor, where the Irish Guards were marching from in this video; and for about 2 years in the 1980s, I was a Traffic Warden based at the Windsor Police Station on Alma Rd. Every day that the Guard was changed, we Traffic Wardens had to clear the streets of vehicles, to help the Police ensure the safety of the Guards as they marched from the Barracks to Windsor Castle to relieve the Guards that had been on duty there for 24 hours. I always felt a sense of pride to be able to help in my small way an important team effort by the Police and the Ministry of Defence personnel to preserve such a stirring and patriotic tradition! I am old now, and live far from England, but those times all came back to me!
“Greatcoats”, Lottie. They come in all colours but those worn by the British Army are grey. “Atholl Grey” is the official name. And yes, you were right. It was the last day for Coat Order.
Can you give us some background? How often does this happen? How long does each guard remain at the castle? What does the guard do when it gets back to barracks? How many changes are accompanied in this way? I know I could Google it but I reckon you’d enjoy explaining.
years ago the Irish Guards were primarily from the Republic of Ireland, when first formed. If you want to have a good read of who the Irish Guards were then you should read a Book by their one time commanding officer Mr Verney !!! called the Micks ,A fascinating read as I have read it many times myself. Nowadays, the Irish Guards will have Soldiers of Irish decent more so than Irish born but none the less very Irish and very proud to be Irish Guards. Queen Victoria was against an Irish Guard Regiment cos of the constant rebellions there, but eventually there came about the IRISH GUARDS, their record in the wars is , well read Mr Verney's book, yours, Wolfhound
Think u will find they are all northern Irish. nobody nowdays from the irish Republic signs up 2 serve the Queen and Country they have their army.and nobody from Northern Ireland call themselves irish they call them British.they hate the thought of be called irish..
It wasn't about rejecting British rule, was about greed. The rebels wanted to not pay taxes and ended up paying taxes. Ironicly the rebels were British themselves 😂
Why don't they call themselves the Scotch Irish Guards or Irish Scotch Guards considering a large proportion seemingly come from that background, if this is not the case and even with a relatively a small number of so called southners reintegrate into an English regiment. Going forward in this post Brexit when the island of Ireland 🇮🇪 will eventually be one country in a progressive Europe these English military enthusiasts with their love of the imperial past accepting many Irish people fought in the 2nd World War against nazism its time to accept using the term "Irish " with independent country called ROI its time to drop or change the title or reintegrate to another regiment as stated earlier, the Scotch or Welsh can make their own decisions in the future.
My mother was from the ROI and came over to England during the second world war, she married an English soldier. Their son, me , joined the British army. I met quite a few soldiers from the South who were British soldiers also. So really you should keep your bigoted nose out of the choices people make
It's company march in the. Micks... Played along with the wearing of the green... Before you comment on anything you know nothing about... A bit of research would serve you well....
Just a wee bit of info ya... Its not the Irish guards pipes and drums.... Its the DRUMS AND PIPES OF THE IRISH GUARDS.... THE TITLE IS IMPORTANT... say pipes and drums to a mick and he'll correct ya

Just a wonderful video and irish bagpipes 💚
They look so grand, beautiful sight and sound, lovely to see, thank you 😊
The sound of bagpipes gives me a shiver of delight. Great sound.
Hello, from USA, love it , awesome. Very kool.🤓
.
Stirring stuff! You cannot beat the UK for ceremony and tradition like this.
San Antonio, TX USA Love it. Must be my Irish blood. It is beautiful.
Can you imagine in times past the sound of pipes and drums marching into battle 😊
Grand music, so smooth from one tune to another and a great selection. I love their uniforms especially the green cape. They are fine ambassadors for all on this island.
Ambassadors for Northern Ireland.
Ireland (the Republic) has its own marching ambassadors in the bands of the Irish Army (Óghlaigh na hÉireann).
excellent .. thise men are really fit..all that marching and blowing into the bagpipes at the same time ...and great to hear the Irish tunes being used...
Well said!
What fine men they are. Proud to serve their king and country. Amazing!
Real men
That drum beat is so steady and persuasive even the police man in front of it all can't help to march in time... Wonderful!
Great to hear The Sash - reminds me of Mess dinners in NI.
You would love the traditional irish version of it then, the original, though you probably wouldnt understand it as its not in your language.

@@Clodaghbob I think it's great they;re Irish tunes with the history behind them and great to see them being used by the British army...
Great to hear the Irish tunes on the pipes, and reminds me of the songs we used to sing at school.
Impossibile non emozionarsi , musica che penetra nell'anima , immagini di una tradizione straordinaria. Che meraviglia❤
Great to here the sash turning to the wearing of the green.

Were I married to one of the pipers, I'd want to borrow his cloak.
So proud of our Armed Forces - the traditions are amazing
Thank you Wish l was there
Winnie Wallace...In their Saffron kilts..I'm moved beyond words.

The sash is a company march in the micks
Nothing beats the sound of the bagpipes playing The Sash. Love it
Well the Sash is a company march in the micks
❤️❤️❤️😁👍
Those capes are bad-ass
That is the last time in Greycoats too did you know

@@Scipionic1941 nah to me they are called Greycoats

At light infantry pace would be interesting
Tá iompaigh tuile ag teacht leó, go lúath, agus gan roimh am.
Why is that lottie

Is there even any irish men in this band .
Think I saw a figure of 30% born in Ireland north and south

Men from Northern Ireland can join the British army, as can men from the Irish Republic.
And they marched up Bunker Hill, all in order, like canon fodder, and fell like cordwood before the Coionists who had rejected Britianic Rule.
They played Irish tunes charging up the hill? golly!
...and there's somebody like you making your puerile comments almost every time there's a British Army video of any kind. FFS, give it a rest.
It wasn't about rejecting British rule, was about greed.
The rebels wanted to not pay taxes and ended up paying taxes.
Ironicly the rebels were British themselves 😂
And they payed more taxes in the end
And now look at America today with Biden

Right, theres nothing irish about windsor or chucky the buffoon either.
No surrender, ulster will always be british

I cannot believe it, but I am sure I just heard them playing the Sash. Disgraceful.

Please tell what is the micks.
