? from an ex-RN. When the Guards left the barrackseveryonewas wearing a bearskin except for two colour sergeants behind the front row of officers who wore peaked caps. Anyone know why this would be?

This video is amazing! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful experience! 👍3

Entering a forest is like entering another world.

Nice video. 👍1

What is the occasion?

Probably more Mountain Bikes in this video, than in the whole of Malawi 😂👍.

Summer action

fantastico, eu tambem faço isso 🤣👏👏

Champion video. Wish they would play some traditional old marches of the vanished regiments as a tribute.

Ahh.. "Woodentops"... I may be "Jack" and take the ****, but theyre British and I still stand by each and every one of them...

Kings guards? what's he done to need so many? 😆

Didn't know you could be fat in the Guards

Fantastic video!! The marches played were, (Band of the Grenadier Guards) 1) 0:01-Unter den Linden 2) 0:17-Back to Camp (Absmarsch in die Quartiere) (Band of the Coldstream Guards) 3) 0:51-Glorious Victory (1st Bn. Welsh Guards Corps of Drums) 4) 1:30-Household Brigade (Combine Bands of the Irish, Welsh, and Scots Guards) 5) 2:56-Rhythm of the Line (Oi) 6) 6:08-The King's Guard (Mounted Band of the Household Cavalry) 7) 13:33-Mollendorf's Parade March (Parademarsch Nr.1 Möllendorfer)

Lovely video😎 What a marvellous spectacle to capture, thank you for sharing 👍

Great display and brilliant to hear the irish lads with the skirl of the pipes !

I am inceasingly dismayed just how obese many of these jokers are.

It brings tear to the eye. Top stuff.

Less bad lads army as fat lads army! Some of those Guardsmen were positively obese, how do they pass as fit?

Gad! the drill is real sloppy these days are we sure this is the guards and far too many fat bellies as well. i must be getting old it sure was not like this in my day, well maybe they are recruits just out of training. but then again the british army has gone to pot. but thanks top cat for a video about prevailing times. love to all.

The fat ones are probably the office staff who have been collared to do the rehearsal and to make up the numbers. Just awaiting a fresh batch of the governments new great idea to get the numbers up😢

It's easy to forget these guys are highly skilled Infantry soldiers and may have just come back from some war torn country. They will then be expected to immediately switch to their ceremonial duties and their drill has to be impeccable. Only the British can do pomp & ceremony like this. So proud to be British. Long live the King.

Slimming world/ Weight watchers should pay a visit to the barracks. No BFT anymore then chaps?

Get on boys, me and the country are proud of you.

A lovely video, thank you 😊

Practising for trooping the colour?

Perfect ❤

Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿 too my Grandfather was a bandman,love the marching.

Well the Officers still look the way they are supposed to look at least.

canadian here love watching

It looks like they are going on a Sunday walk ..very poor

The sound of the band marching among the brick building and under the cover of the trees. Really gives you a great effect.

New age army my arse. I can’t believe how fat some of those lads are. How could you put them on parade at horse guards. Leave them on street lining not the main parade.

Seen sharper, and do not think beards look right .Sorry.

A few chunky chaps in that one guard, possibly HQ company!!

What a fabulous video, I’m so glad you were there to record it. The sound is superb (I’ll admit I have it blasting through headphones🤓) When you consider this is termed a practice for the rehearsals (1st and 8th June) of the main event (15th June) they already sound perfect! The video also captures the sound of the marching feet and that in itself is something wondrous! Then of course the pipes, don’t they just add that something extra special. I enjoyed all the marches played here and will single out that bit at 11:47 where the band revs up and puts the after burners on in “The King’s Guard”😍 Thank you for sharing👍

Wonderful ,thank you for sharing

Brilliant display but just to many beards for my liking

Very obviously practice rehearsal for Annual Trooping of the Colour, great marching music! Commands not like the old drill Sargeants, which were almost a scream!!

This was obviously a special occasion - and all those seats waiting to be filled at the end - so what was the occasion ? I'm a Brit watching from the US - lost track of what happens when in the calendar ! You tend to forget how many of them there are in these brigades as we tend to see them only when they are doing guard duty !

Sorry but some just look four feet tall, thank goodness it’s just the band.

Where are the Scots Guards' pipers?

Thank you. I really enjoyed that and being there in spirit if not in person.

Can someone explain how some of those on parade are clearly in pretty poor shape?

The foot guards regiments march to horse guards parade rehearsal for kings birthday parade

Thanks for this video. I never tire of watching our military marching, just perfect.
