- This video is an extract from the RNR100 DVD. It was filmed on Horse Guards Parade Ground in London.
All in the video are volunteer reservists. The Guard spent 9 days being trained by the best Ceremonial Training Team the Royal Navy had.
Many thanks to CPO "Blood" Read, and PO Simmerman for their efforts.
The band played Heart of Oak for the whole period while the Ceremonial Guard was 'marching past' the Sovereign (represented by Prince Charles), hence why they don't play any other music while the 'Guard of Honour' is marching past.
Its the same if a Royal Marine Guard had been marching past the music would have been 'Life on an Ocean Wage' for 5 minutes.
May I speak as an ex Infantry RSM. WE have never fought a war nor won one without reserve forces, these boys here are a credit. Hearts of Oak! Steady boys steady, quite brilliant!
ah, there is no finer sight then that traditional uniform marching to Heart of Oak.
I love this march - it has great meaning for me as it was played by a band at my father's funeral as his coffin was carried out of the church. He was a RAN musician then bandmaster, so he would have marched off the parade ground many, many times to this tune.
Yup, the RSM was right - top-notch drill, impeccable turn-out. Puts some Regulars to shame. First time I have seen the Navy sword-salute (or I had forgotten the difference). Now THAT is the way to salute with a sword!
Still the best country for marching. We owe our boys and girls everything.
Every foot in step .....OUTSTANDING!
WELL DONE!
Took us long enough training 🤣
the tune is Heart of Oak - it's as British as it gets. bless you father for his service. Bob M Houston TX USA
the timing of the feet is so perfect :)
These boys are splendid. The navy does not march well by tradition; but these fellows do. I was an infantry RSM and speak from experience. I would be proud of them! deinitely. Hearts of Oak! Steady boys steady! Wonderful stuff!
Oh i miss this march too! It just makes me happy when ever I hear it and brings a tear to my eye.
Enlisted in the navy a few days ago. Can't wait :D
for who are so free as the sons of the waves!

AC Pereira, Nick :P lol
Wow ! Nice Royal Navy from Japan
I love it.
God save the queen.
Just addin that obviously I'm having to put my civvie career on hold while I do this, but in this economic climate, am quite pleased to!!
so very smart .... you guys (and girls!) are great.
You can see the PRIDE in the RNR - unpaid volunteers, same as the TA - who give up their spare time to be readily called to serve the country. I can certainly say that there are very few full time RN Service personnel who can match the RNR should they be put on parade. Most don't give a damn and couldn't care less about pride, honour and tradition.
Me? ex RN Senior Rate (24 yr service, 84-07)

Hi - at the moment I haven't got any more but will see if I can get some.
@markd3107 Good for you Sir. And your pride!
cpo(in what was sona,r lol) .they changed the badges....did the field gun earls court when andy got married (he's a tart)....sm2...money and politics killed us :(...but we live on!! RN
Thanks for this, any idea where I can get the DVD this is from? Thanks in advance.
Don't want to degenerate this into a "them" and "us" debate - we're more aligned now than we've ever been.
However, we do get paid as RNR - the same daily rate as the RN.
Me?? Mobilised reservist of 12 years, off to somewhere warm and sunny with the Andrew for the next 6 months.
@RoyalGuardOfHonour hey durign WW2 you guys had a pretty strong navy...the cruiser Berwick, Black Pricne like come on u had a strong Navy (and im Canadian btw...altho im part British :) )
Yeah I know, I'll hopefully be mucking about with L85s soon enough.
Whatever happened to the quality!? It used to be much better on this one: now the video looks like it was filmed using a potato...at least the soundtrack is still okay.
Video I recorded was always poop but the best I had 15 years ago 💩😂
I maybe welsh, but the hairs on my neck are standing to attention.
Very true, although it'd be even finer with Enfield instead of L85A2s

Just wondering where you got the dvd this came on?
