The Ghurka regiment is part of the rifles family. At the time the Irish guards band may of been at the guard change in London or in front line duty. Most military bandsmen/women have secondary roles as drivers and medics
i was in from 78 till 84 still had the SLR. and your right, we used to get it from the old soilders about how us, new crows back then were letting things slip, but our drill was quite good though.
I hope these troops carry loaded weapons for serious protection in their duties. In today's World of terrorist attacks, I would hate to see in the news a "oh shit" moment of troops not locked & loaded.
Have you been to any castles or major public hot spots in the Uk. We have armed police officers guarding them. The army are there on public duties as a show. Maybe you’ve been Thailand too long and forgotten how our UK works. The British army does not operate on British soil. The police do.
@@sonampaldensherpa true enough, but SAS/SRR/SBS do operate on UK soil. Plus, armed forces/MPGS on guard/gate duty are 'live'. It's mostly civilian armed Police though for ceremonies.
kiqw They are appealing to the younger public. Aside from their source, they are good marches. Aside from them, they typically play the marches of the Regiments that are taking over or leaving.
motorcop505 Surely the whole point of doing this changing of the guard is for a traditional, historically accurate spectacle? Playing Star Wars just makes a mockery of the whole thing
@Stuart the point of the changing of the guard is to guard the sovereign at their residence. It is not a history fair. The music played during the changing the guard is either a regimental march, or is played to entertain the public. This has been done for donkeys years, and is very much in keeping with tradition.

Worked alongside the Gurkhas in Malaysia. Most dedicated soldiers you could encounter. They would gladly lay their lives down for the British Crown.
Our Dad, here in Australia, used to tell us stories of the Gurhas bravery.
I like the 02:35 handshake (as you see at every Changing) - the replacement for the actual "handing over of the keys".
I did not know that. Thank you.
I did not know that. Thank you
Delighted to see the Gurkhas
Absolutely and weren't they well turned out? Always smart.
The uploader is talking of this part from his description 8:48 . I didnlt expect it too.
MAGIC stuff
You can hear in the background the approach by aircraft to Heathrow airport
8:54 Well this is the British EMPIRE xD
I really have no problem with what they were playing. It was just totally unexpected. LOL
The guard is taken from the Irish Guards, so the band plays an Irish march. Simple.
the yell at 2:00 XD
Boy soprano?
@The Jolly Kangaroo you should watch some of the footage floating around on youtube of like 1960s/70s/80s guardsmen screaming their lungs out.
That's a sign of being serious
perfect
so pretty
Cor blimey, by jove. These are British Gurkhas, sir!
The Gurkha Band would find it funny marching at that slow pace. I wonder why the Irish Guards band wasn't on parade.
Ricky Donut RM31 as the Gurkhas where the old guard
@@silentvallrblx2137 The old guard was from The Rifles, not The RGR.

Our predecessors said the same of us.

@@pbrobotspbrobots1710 I loved the SLR.They were great to handle, and looked good.
Nothing wrong with the drill's.

Irish Guards, taking over from Gurkhas?
Looks like the Irish Guards relieving The Rifles; Gurkhas are the duty band, I assume.
@@rustyoldjoint the Gurkha band is there due to them being in the rifles family, the Irish guards band was most likely occupied at the time
2:00 4:30 5:04
Prankster Lololol I’m dying at 2:00, also, you GSM in HMRG group I’m in too, it’s Fed.

I have heard (on good authority) that NCOs without bayonets have the live rounds. How true that is...

What's wrong with the Music? Nothing why are you guys complaining like theres something wrong with it.
People expect something military all of the time and it surprises them!
Can't understand a thing there yelling.lots of foot stomping.
Its a tradition to keep order in the rank that dates back centuries
This makes you realise just how superior the Royal Marines are. Big style.
Ghurkas actually 😊
How many Gurkhas are recruited as musicians like the RMs? Do they spend as much time in music school after recruitment? I doubt it.
Nah, the Rifles do it better.
@@Brecconable They used to when they were the Light Infantry. Standards have slipped.
Absolutely.
A lot of poor "bend the knee" in this..... but I was always shite ate that too!!
They can't be s serious with that music??????
