Blimey they took there time to move off, i felt very sorry for the Gurkhas and the Rifles Band standing there in ranks in the heat of the sun in those uniforms that make them sweat and get dehydrated. If they are not going to move off for ages probably waiting for some prat officer from Sandhurst to arrive in his place, then the soldiers should be back in a air conditioned room until the officer is ready to move off. Those uniforms are very heavy and not really suitable for hot weather. I saw a video that was done exactly on a very hot day in Scotland where the Scottish regiment was doing the exact same thing but in more summer time uniform where the Regiment marched in short sleve shirts and there kilt. The soldiers were not wearing any coat or jacket on that hot day. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🤝🤝🏴🏴
It's true that the most dangerous thing known to a soldier is an officer with a map. If you want to get it wrong involve an officer, if you really want to screw it up involve a politician
Same for the guards outside the palace and lining the street, many were overcome by the heat standing out for so long in full uniform including bearskin hats…. The one thing the Ghukas have is they come from a very hot climate, so when in their home country they are used to parading in the heat.
@user-hq6iw1yv4f this is a DISGRACE for UK get summer uniforms for these guys GROW UP UK YOU don't want them suffering from heat stroke you could be taken to court

I used to drive trains through North Camp. You could always identify Ghurkas. Even in civvies they are in uniform.
Gurkhas built a fantastic road in Wainwright, Alberta, Canada
We loved their visits.
SO POLITE.
Ex light infantry served in afghan with the ghurkas good lads
Brilliant. Nice to see the crowds behind barriers
deep respect for those brave man!
Gurkhas bravest of the brave never has a country had better friends than you
"Birdlland" tough to sing in choir as well.. takes me back... great performance...
Awesome video 👍
I was (yawn) absolutely stunned
John Philip Sousa would probably have loved this!
Thank you🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Wonderful ❤️

I've worn wool on parade in Canada.
The standing motionless in the sun is exhausting.
Only 14 % of us were female.
They are made of sterner stuff.

KNOWN AS the BEST SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD.
They visit us in Canada.
Now try catching up with them
I noticed that the police don't carry batons anymore.
The mounted cops that is.
Tasers and guns will do .. they do have batons usually but the foldable sort …

Is this the British rifles band, uniform looks a little different.
It's the Royal Gurkha Rifles band and Guard section. Nepalese soldiers who volunteer to serve with the UK Armed Forces.
The ghurker all slim some of the bands people not so
Bandsmen are usually medics and stretcher bearers in times of conflict … Gurkhas are the attack … on to oe combat and only use their kukri knives ..
Apart from the pensioner Policemen what was stunning about that ?
Standing at attention in wool uniforms in the hot sun is exhausting.
ONLY 14% of us were female.
IN CANADA.
GREAT MEMORIES.
OFFICER GRADUATION PARADE
Those are not thick wool uniforms and fine wool cloth is less hot than any synthetic, Cotton , or silk. Only linen is cooler.
