The Grenadiers are the senior 'foot regiment' of the British Army. My late Uncle was in their 5th Battalion during WW2, and part of his training was Royal Guard duty at Windsor Castle where the Royal family spent most of the war, as it was safer there. He recalled that the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret would deliberately walk close by the soldiers to get a salute from them each time. It was seen by them as fun, and soldiers didn't mind.
@@idk_bruhlol that just isn’t true. The grenadiers do go out of the country on deployment. They been involved in every major conflict since it’s inception. U might be referring to the incremental Nijmegen company, Who are there for ceremonial
Excellent; and well within their rights to do that, too! "MAKE WAY THE GATE!" and the people obeyed quickly; there weren't any incidents. Professional.
Its regimental custom after the Battle of Inkerman. After losing so many men, instead of calling their names off the roll, they walked the ranks and hade them state rank and name. Its continued on whenever they are inspected but sometimes its not said
The governor or ex governor lives at Windsor castle hense the reason for the eyes left/right and two stripes is the rank of a corporal. And single stripe is a lance corporal. 👍
@@AlexBrown23192 I know the ranks, being an old lance bombardier. Just not the significance of the eyes order, you could see on the way back they were doing it to the building or occupants. Obviously not a royal residence with the public there.
Traditionally to the right there was their commanding officers residence, and so they would look right as a mark of respect for their commanding officer. Now, it is purely ceremonial.
Nijmegan company are part of the 1st Battalion but carry the 2nd Battalion colours and customs if I'm correct. They are not depicted by the rifle they carry. That rifle is now used throughout the Grenadier Guards
im always wondering why they bag the scopes instead of just removing them though I have never been but always see it that way in videos its not like they need them if it would ever be up front shit
They are not called RGG as that stands for Royal Grenaider Guards and there is nothing royal about them lol they are simpley addressed by the regiment and company eg: 1st bn Grenaider Guards not Royal Grenaider Guards, please get your facts right and adresss them correctly you mug
Yeah same, but they do drill on the daily. Even when they’re in parades not to mention they basically have to make drill their best friend, and it is important during ceremonial events, so it’s basically a every day thing.

Visitors should remember, these men are serving soldiers,, next month they could be anywhere in the world fighting in a war !!
The Royal Gurkha Rifles is the main infantry regiment, Royal Grenadier Guards is well for guarding, they rarely go out the country.
@@idk_bruhlol And the SAS are the best fighting force in the british army, Well, One of the best.

@@That1Eagle That is true specially because UK is part of NATO, they yes do deployments.
@@idk_bruhlol Remember the afghsnistan around 2009 or 2010?

Always great for a very very long time! Bless them all.
So good to see the Guards out and about again! Thank you @Military Events
My favorite regiment
Amazing video. The Royal Guards are awesome.
Loved this
It still amazes me why people always stand in the way of the guards
to get a reaction out of them since they're bored of what is always just "stoic military marching"
MAKE WAY FOR THE QUEENS GUARD
Obrigada pelo vídeo. Gostei.
Saludos desde Bolivia 🇧🇴
I feel like maybe this is my spirit job. I love yelling at strangers.
Thank you 😊
Nice
2:25 That guy has a pretty deep voice!
He sure does.
❤Thx
8:37 - Make Way for the gates
Well Done!
Why do they look aside ?
What does the first-class soldier say to each of them with a loud cry when he receives and inspects them? thanks and regards
It seems to be "Guardsman (name), Lance Corporal."
Its regimental custom after the Battle of Inkerman. After losing so many men, instead of calling their names off the roll, they walked the ranks and hade them state rank and name. Its continued on whenever they are inspected but sometimes its not said
@@pimhls yep that right but theres 1 mistake it should be like "Guardsman (Name), Corporal."
What is the significance of the building when they eyes right, then eyes left on the way to and from relief?
Not so much the building but the person. Must be an officer, VVIP or something.
The governor or ex governor lives at Windsor castle hense the reason for the eyes left/right and two stripes is the rank of a corporal. And single stripe is a lance corporal. 👍

@@AlexBrown23192 Two stripes in the guards is LCpl, one stripe doesn't exist in the guards
4:20 Who did they salute to the right?
Traditionally to the right there was their commanding officers residence, and so they would look right as a mark of respect for their commanding officer. Now, it is purely ceremonial.
It rarely happens but they actually said arms
I wonder to whom do they gave "Eyes right"? I heard thanks in response, suggesting it was a civilian ...
I think it was the ‘Governor Of The Knights’?
A senior retired officer in the rank of general or above that lives in windsor.
This is 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, not Nijmegen Company.
How do you know?
@@militaryevents107 They are carrying L85A3 rifles.
@@Hon.N.Q.C.G. Ok!

@@eastyscorner Nijmegen Company are an independent incremental company and are not a part of the 1st Bn. They also still use the L85A2.

To much drill for my liking and glad I didn’t join them. Hated drill preferred being in green permanently.
Yeah same, but they do drill on the daily. Even when they’re in parades not to mention they basically have to make drill their best friend, and it is important during ceremonial events, so it’s basically a every day thing.
Some horrible drill again from the guards as per
What
@@corywheeldon1538 the guards are guff at drill
Not a straight arm in sight
@@WembleyGaming where do you come from may I ask
@@corywheeldon1538 Britain
I am in the forces myself
@@WembleyGaming fair enough then, just wanted to make sure you wasn't one of those Americans that think their drill is the best.
