@@davidmin2727 It is because march is a fine piece of music. I do not know if this matters but during the wars against Louis XIV's Catholic France, French Huguenots formed complete regiments in the service of Protestant countries of England, Netherlands and some German states. Some these French Huguenot regiments served alongside the English and Scots guard regiments in the same battles. This was at the same time as complete regiments of Catholic Scots and Irish served in the armies of Catholic countries of France, Spain, some Italian states and other nations. A very tragic and bloody time in European history.
Interesting to see that the Bass Drummer has what I guess is an electronic metronome on the drum to ensure that the correct BPM is maintained throughout.....
LOL - he's referring to the straightness of the lines and the spacing, which is a little off (but only slightly). Having done massed bands on that Parade ground I would say it's pretty good actually. Brenda seems to be enjoying it though, which is what matters.
..This March borrowed by our best English enemies, is taken from a French opera "Les Huguenots" which tells an impossible love story between a Catholic and a Protestant in the context of the religious wars that set France ablaze in the 16th century. ...just like God save the king "Grand DieuSauveur le Roy" which was written in 1686 by Madame de Brinon, superior of the Royal House of Saint-Louis and the music composed by the famous Lully" because of the healing of the Sun King.........God save UK
Her Majesty is enjoying it, tapping Her foot. They are really catchy march past tunes.

He is the metronome
In the Guards he's called the Timebeater, not the Bass Drummer.
@@peterdavy6110 Thank you for the information. Although I was never in the military there are so many aspects of it that interest me.
Goose bumps
Mooie mars. Ze pakken groots uit die Tommies.
0:52 bottom left of the screen. Last line. Somebody's losing count.
03:39 drummers wave !
Are these all five of the Foot Guards regimental bands!
Le Huguenots Composer: Giacomo Meyerbeer. I don't know who is the arranger.
💕🇬🇧💕🇬🇧💕
Sorry for my mistake. Video came in after
Too much talking from Hew Edwards
I've found a version of Trooping the Colour on youtube with NO TALKING. Bliss.
He almost played a fourth beat.
Too much talking from the commentators ruins the music.
🇬🇧👍
3:03... the dressing is a shambles!

Get lost! Get some service in!
Is 36.5 years enough service for you? I do know what I am talking about.
you are right, but its better than other years i think
have to agree Sir, but you have to remember, this is not the Empire or the Commonwealth. Sadly the best days are gone. It's all entertainment now...
