Yes. It takes a long time to painstakingly prepare one's uniform and gear for a parade. Those who have never served will not understand how hard it is to prepare everything so that it passes the last inspection before the parade. I remember that after a parade during which it actually rained for a short time, although clear weather had been forecasted, I actually heard a soldier say, "I could hear my rifle already rusting during the rain." We, of course, laughed, but a wet rifle needs to be cleaned thoroughly before returning it to the armory and the armorer will always find something to complain about.
Let me warn foreigners , try closing on the colours and you'll be bayoneted ! Hence the escort with fixed bayonets. When I was serving in Scotland in the sixties it happened.
Quite right. When I was stationed in West Berlin I heard this story: just after the American army finally entered the city in 1945 by the back roads after the main roads had been blockaded by soviet troops, the colors were raised at a flagpole in front of the building to be used as headquarters. A soviet patrol drove up and a soviet soldier went to take the colors down. He was shot when his hand touched the flagpole and no soviet protest was ever registered.

Some dozy guardsmen . On the right of the squad
9:19 GET OFF THE ROAD!!!!
Absolutely fantastic and our troops are the Best .Happy New year to all our Armed forces 🎉🎉🎉
THE DOG IS ABOUT 8!!!
Not the polished drill movements I would have expected of them .
An awful lot of stamping boots and shouting. I expect any moment Monty Python will turn up.
Really what is it all about?
It’s about Changing the Guard. Not exactly unknown or unusual.
Tradition, History,Discipline,Pageantry,Respect,Flamboyance, Showmanship or just to make other countries seethe with envy!
@@peterjones3557 brain washing. Tristan Decona does not an old empire make.
