Thanks Jim and what a remarkable man Tony is! Hats off! I hope he stays a long time in this function. But I have also a great respect for all The Queen's coffin bearers especially the 8 Grenadiers Guards who had to bear the coffin several times with the whole world watching them. What a stress they must have had! Phenomenal job they did!
@@JimRamsayJWRYes I can imagine you felt like you did. Sometimes you do things you later regret but that is life. And you did a good job. You reacted straight away by calling Tony so he could help immideately and so you were instrumental by saving the piper's life! And that is something to be proud of!!
I know Tony, he lives just round the corner from me. I remember him joining up. He's done exceptionally well, his home county of Lancashire will be proud of him as is Edinburgh. Well done Tony.
Buy Tony a pint! Ooops he is tea total. He did brilliantly and left behind many friends in Edinburgh. Best of luck to Tony in his next role in civvy life!
Add another cheer from me Tony does an awesome job interacts with public nicely but gets the job done perfectly and Jim give yourself a pat on the back for producing an excellent video
I enjoy your videos of events in Edinburgh, especially those involving GSM Tony Gibson. While I'm an American, I was a Marine and I had a couple of Sergeants Major who would have given Tony a run for his money. Also having been a senior NCO myself, I enjoy watching a professional at work.
@@JimRamsayJWR Jim, the one thing I want to know about Tony, and GSM Vern Stokes in London, how do they get from place to place so darned fast. Are they capable of apparition like in Harry Potter? Little else seems to explain it. 🙂 All I know in my time in the Marine Corps, if a sergeant major was running someplace (not during PT), it was not a good sign and somebody(ies) were going to suffer.
Right at the end of this superlative video its either ATC or the pilot giving / confirming instructions and then says 'God Bless the Queen'. Lump in the throat moment for me. But what a huge responsibility for that one GSM to carry and he delivered BIG time.
This chap sees everything. At the Edinburgh Remembrance Service the RN W/O saw one of his ratings was in distress but it was the GSM who took over and brought her off parade with a comforting touch on the elbow. Is he moving on? Does London District beckon? I’d be inclined to promote hm straight to Major General, commanding but that would be a waste of his talents. Tell him that if you see him, Jim.

Hey Jim, can you tell me the name of the tune the bands were playing at Windsor for our late queen ( from when she entered Windsor castle up to before going in to the chapel?
Oh I think Tony would disagree there! There is an interview in St Andrews Square by BBFS Radio where he is clearly introduced as The Garrison Sergeant Major for Edinburgh
Can you imagine the heap of work loaded on this amazing man for Her Majesty's funeral send off from Scotland.What a man.enjoy your time Air.👏

He did a superb job as did the coffin bearers
@@JimRamsayJWR But I forgot to mention that it was YOU who alerted Tony of the collapse of the piper. So you are a hero too!!!🥰
@@moniquevanaken2638 I didn't stop as I knew Tony was THE MAN for that job. Felt bad about that afterwards mind

I bet my house he wishes he hadn't fastened his sword belt over the top of his sash during that interview! What an embarrassment.

Good morning Jim 😊😘❤️🥰👋🏻
Good morning!
More like a councillor than a GSM, I was looking forward to some good old fashion reeming
Esse homem se destaca ele tem um sorriso encantador diferente dos britânicos sempre reservado👏😍
This man stands out he has a charming smile unlike the always reserved british people.
