Even I as an matelot appreciate the dedication and professionalism of this my we do this like no one in world can, whether it be the guards regiments, the Gurkhas or these lads the rifles
I was at strensall in the 90s as an instructor,we had Light infantry with us ,I honestly wished I learned there drill and passed out on there parade ,this is really a regret and one I can't take back
Tourists giggle at a regiment founded on defeating Napoleon Bonaparte, then the leader of the greatest army in Europe, at every engagement; Mmm... beating the French ;)
The history of the British Light Infantry goes back further to 1758 and were formed to tackle the unorthodox way of fighting ... so white belts were changed to black ,red tunics to green and a bugle to sound orders instead of a drum ... they were marksmen and skirmishers a tradition of moving at a faster pace that is still to this day what sets them apart from other non light Infantry regiments
@@colinraine8245 My apologies, Colin, I used "founded" as in "based upon". I'm no expert, but was Sir John Moore at the Battle of Quebec, which informed his thinking on what you've described?
@@danielw5850 I don't think he was at Quebec... he was at Halifax though and saw some action there against the Americans maybe that was where his thoughts came from .... I'm sure it was seeing how American militia fought and also the native american warriors who as you know,depending on which tribe fought on both sides . Ahead of his time for sure ....also the Germans had Jager sharpshooter who also wore green I'm sure that was also a influence .... I'd done my training at Sir John Moor Barracks Shrewsbury. Nice chatting with you
Bold and swift! So pomp and circumstance!Imagine that, marching into battle like that with the Officer up front with his cane as if he’s walking down Oxford Street in the 1800s! “Just walking into the napoleonic war, no fucks given keep the tea pot hot!” Must have mentally messed up the enemy! Of course the rifles being an amalgamation of multiple units including the Bucks and predominately the Green Jackets!
The rgj was made up of the rifle brigade the ox and bucks who in their own right took pegasus bridge in ww2 and held it untill relieved and the 2nd battalion which was originally the American rifles such a famous regiment like all those in the British army and I quote Scottish Irish and Welsh regiments gone destroyed by their own government
이를 보는 모든 분들은 이를 보고 단지 군악대 행사로 보지 마세요. 여왕님이 모두 정신차리고 자신의 본분을 가지고 일하고 돌보고 자신이 할 일을 찾아 움직이라는 말씀을 이렇게 바꾸어 표현하는 것이지요. 한마디로 정신차려 하고 말씀하시는 것이지요. 같이 함께하는 모든 분은 이 뜻을 따라 움직이지요. 뭐 재미 일하지 않고 머리 굴려야 별 볼일 없어요. 순수히 받아들이지요.
That looks like "Rifles March" pace. Basically, double-time with the rifles carried at their side instead of on the shoulder. One of their ancestor regiments was the Rifle Brigade and I read somewhere (can't find it at the moment) that the Rifle Brigade had 2 speeds: slow and fast (not the right terms). The 'fast' pace is 140 pages/minute while the regular army is 120 paces/minute. Historically, the Rifles were the advance guard and flankers so they needed to move fast. From what I can tell, they never march slow these days.
mdaly724 it’s from the Light Infantry which was amalgamated into the Rifles. My dad served for 22 years with them. They are known to to be the fast marching army in the UK. Many a time I used to go and watch them parade with the band. Their music is just amazing. I recommend listening to their High on the Hill
@@nutterbirdy1983 hi from an ex royal green jacket both the rgj and the light infantry made up the light division now as you say part of the rifles which I dnt agree with both are famous in their own right the government should have left them alone I did ten years in the green jackets miss it every day
@@swifty8538 agreed. They should never of disbanded 3 RGJ at the time they had the best shooting teams in the British army, also the best boxing team. Plus plus plus
All marching steps are carried out in Quick Time, of 140 steps per minute. The exception is the 30-inch step, which you may be commanded to carry out at180 steps per minute if given the command, "Double Time, MARCH."

The WPC can arrest me anytime. Always like seeing The Rifles on ceremonials.
Clattered in make-up an 'inch deep'. Could she bake you a treacle scone with raisins in it, in an oven pot over an open fire?
Wow this brings back terrific memories
What's the PCs name Alex....Interview would be in order.
1:31 hu rah for the rifles!!!!
Does anyone know why some of the tunics are Rifle Green and others are dark green??
Why the different shades of green in the jackets.
Anyone know the name of the tune the BaBTR play in this video I have searched everywhere and cannot find it for the life of m
Do the Rifles still march at a 140 paces because that looks a lot slower pace

Not an officer up front . Bugle major. Same as drum major. Rank sergeant.

For some reason I find watching this band very tiring. Those soldiers are marching at that quick pace in army issue shoes and playing music - wow!
