    This is what a parade called!!!
    Fabulous trooping with the proper standard of the drill
    When Britain still has the Guards Depot
    Much higher standard than nowadays

      I'm so glad I served late sixtys early seventys , you took real pride in your personal drill and kit , then you had to be of a certain hight , not like today , there's nothing more daft than a guardsman under 5 ft 5 in , even more daft with the skin on . It's the same in the regimental bands were women are aloud to join . Excellent players just like the men , but hight , 5ft 2in ? Not good . Take a good look next time , early days of box ticking has dropped standerds , of course the SLR , an excellent weapon for drill and in combat went , in came the SA80 , not realy the same visually . Sounds like I'm complaining , well maby so , but we all know the standerds and what's expected , especially from ex guardsmen from the 60s 70s and 80s who don't miss a trick , your eyes don't lie .

Your generation were the best, back in your time, it must have been the era of guardsmen perfection, all in the same height, all fit and well maintained body posture and all good in drill.

    I was in St James' park for this trooping , went down to Chelsea barracks too to watch the drills . remember being grabbed in the street by the old bill in mufti after I walked along the residential street round the back of the barracks , they suspected I might have been a burglar. just picked up a load of photo's of the trooping rehearsals from the developer's at Kings cross so my story about why i was in Chelsea was somehow proved haha. happy days !

    I’m an American and I love watching the trooping and I’ve noticed in older parades in the 50s and 60s the mounted band always the entire slow march of the life guards and the don’t do that anymore and I was wondering and if anyone knew why?
