I was one of the soldiers there. A sad day

Only just found this film today. What a fabulous memento of a Proud Infantry Regiment and their Regimental Band and Corps of Drums. I have a copy of The Band's CD, "BATTLE HONOURS" which is recommended if you can find a copy. My father-in-law served in The Border Regiment in WW2 and was stationed in Carlisle Castle, also saw service with the Regiment in India and Burma.

Saw the band and drums back in 1984 when the the battalion did public duties in London.

Love the Bass Drummers' shoes :-) and at 17:07, "Sarie Marais", an old South African classic from the Anglo Boer war era.

And also official march for Royal Marine Commando

Okay, I accept that I'm biased. However, be that as itt may they were the finest band of any Infantry Regiment of the line.
