Royal Irish regiment what a lovely welcome home, well deserved and what a turnout from townsfolk. Enjoyed P&D,s and Bugle Band, the mascot looked spiffy as well.

In 54 I was 18 then, I did six months training in Ballymena with the then Royal Ulster Rifles (Anzio squad) same outfit different regimental name now, the pipes and bugles looked smarter then in my humble opinion, but they still look smart now, I feel proud to have been in the Regiment, after 6 months training I did 18 months in Wuppertal Northern Germany, and I would estimate that probably 3/4 of the regiment came from the London area, I'll never forget those two years, did me a world of good, back then only the bugle brigade had plumes, and with the troops everything was black, badge, ampulets, buttons ect, and regimental parades were 180 steps per minute with 303 at the trail, Thanks rjave for sharing,
Nucci604 Thank you, but I can't take any credit as I was never in action, just did my two year national service, but I feel very privileged and proud to have served in my battalion,

Yes, they're hanging men and women there for the wearing of the green... And if the colour we must wear is England's cruel red let it remind all Irishmen that are dead !
That is not correct. You need to read up the history a bit more to see where the Regiments that made up the Royal Irish Regiment started. This is a proud tradition Carried in since 1689 and later when there were many Irish Regiments in the British Army with thousands of soldiers serving. The use of Irish is a tradition that is carried on wit this regiment and the Irish Guards as both regiments recruit from all sections of the community in Northern Ireland and and in the Republic of Ireland.
I just scroll through these comments trying to find the one written from the American who had a great great great great grandfather who was a quarter Irish and demands that the Engerlanders release these men and send them back home to where they all have red hair and grow potatoes and demands the Engelander President to order his redcoats withdraw from the streets of Dublinton town!
That beut of a dog lived a few doors away from me what a star xxx as for the guys, yo!! I had a relationship for 6 months with a so called ...... he was married and lived in married quarters opposite where I lived in Tern Hill. thank god he had no children. My Son saw him in Germany when he was there with the reserves. Such a shame people like him give the military such a bad name. Hope his wife and their dogs got their training field. Hope he got his come uppence as I found out I was not the first !!
That does not sound like something one would post lol, and yet you knowingly had a relationship with this man, lady it seems like you don't many morals.
The Royal Irish don't wear berets. They wear caubeen bonnets. The green hackle denotes their fusilier traditions of one of their antecedent regiments The Royal Irish Fusiliers. Likewise the cap badge is that of the Ulster Defence Regiment another one of their forerunners. The green tunics originally came from the Royal Ulster Rifles, and the castle badge on their collars came from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers. The pipers kilts also have the badges of the Irish Fusiliers, Ulster Rifles and Inniskillings on the right hand side.
hutch1111111 yes, just like the Royal Regiment of Scotland wear Tam O'Shanters instead of berets, the Royal Irish wear caubeens. The London Irish also wear caubeens. in Other Irish regiments like the Irish Guards, 152 North Irish Regiment or the Queens Royal Hussars & Royal Dragoon Guards the caubeen is only worn by pipers.
At the time of formation their were 7 home service battalions, who were continuations of the Ulster Defence Regiment. The UDR alway wore berets, these soldiers continued to wear berets until caubeens were provided, most soldiers in these battalions preferred berets to caubeens as they were more easy to shape. The home service battalions were disbanded in 2007 with the end of military operations in Northern Ireland. The 1st & 2nd (General Service) battalions have always wore caubeens.
Ah that's great. So since I am from the Irish Republic (British Isles) that means I'm British LMFAO and on the UK Passports it says United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Funny post though made me laugh
Well done the Royal Irish. As an Englishman i'm proud of everyone of you.

Welcome home from an Irish American veteran who was deployed once. Amazing feeling to be back on home turf
They're Irish in the same sense that an Apache helicopter is a Native American
Best in the world.
If I'm right I think that cry during the march relates back to when the regimental march was in ins infancy and with the Connaught.rangers?
That's a province in Ireland
I really love your video a lot . Thanks!

Yes.. Well done.
We can give ourselves the name of Ireland without having the slightest connection to Ireland.
Ah, the Wearing of the Green! Welcome home Royal Irish!
Yes, they're hanging men and women there for the wearing of the green... And if the colour we must wear is England's cruel red let it remind all Irishmen that are dead !
I still have my Great Uncles medals including the Iraq clasp from 1921, no less.
Don't take close up of Soldiers faces,puts them in danger,especially. Irish Soldiers,
RESPECT,

Brits march with hands, Russians march with legs and Americans are just unable to march :)

Soz mate. I was full of Stella when I disagreed with you. :(
In Germany u dont see anything like this
That’s a pity, Germany has much to be proud of in its rich cultural heritage.
Yeah Germany culture goes back further than British culture.
Why are the Royal Irish wearing plumes with combat fatigue's? Surely it should be the green beret?
The Royal Irish don't wear berets. They wear caubeen bonnets. The green hackle denotes their fusilier traditions of one of their antecedent regiments The Royal Irish Fusiliers. Likewise the cap badge is that of the Ulster Defence Regiment another one of their forerunners. The green tunics originally came from the Royal Ulster Rifles, and the castle badge on their collars came from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers.

***** Are the Bonnets worn everyday while in Garrison?

The London Irish also wear caubeens. in Other Irish regiments like the Irish Guards, 152 North Irish Regiment or the Queens Royal Hussars & Royal Dragoon Guards the caubeen is only worn by pipers.
At the time of the formation of the Regiment the dress was beret with dpm and caubeen with number 2 dress uniform
At the time of formation their were 7 home service battalions, who were continuations of the Ulster Defence Regiment. The UDR alway wore berets, these soldiers continued to wear berets until caubeens were provided, most soldiers in these battalions preferred berets to caubeens as they were more easy to shape.

was the band from a different unit?

rapier1954 Farrell you are truly thick
@@calumroney7352 Not as thick as someone who thinks a regiment that has less than 40% members with any Irish connection means it is an Irish regiment.
LOL
However those from Ireland (ROI), join as PRIVATE CITIZENS and therefore use of the term Royal Irish Regiment is inappropriate.

Very smart
