Magnificent well done i watched this with pride even though im not from this country im british it was as if the trooping the colour had been transplanted to africa the garrison sargent major had his or her work cut well done

[@danthemanx999]

Wonderful job. I can't wrap my mind around the time and effort it takes to choreograph this and still be that splendid. Kenya milele daima. 🇰🇪

[@franciskioo440]

Indeed lovely choice of Tune/Music for this event...I always love the KDF BAND.... I will never get tired of listening to this Great Band.

[@Yabesh67]

Thank you so much KDF comrades, you've made me proud. 17 Kenya Riffles. Strong Forever... Imara Kama Simba Daima Mkenya.

[@JATP-wp6eh]

I’m not Kenyan or African. This drill is very very good. What a great show. Kenyans should be proud of their military. I like that they keep their old traditions. Very very excellent drill. In my mind, they march even better than the Canadians.

[@nukegamez8686]

[@user-eg2pc8wh9q]

Good to see, professional! I served in Kenya in the middle sixties with the British Army and retain a respect for the country and its various peoples. The Kenyans are a great example of what can be achieved in a continent which has been divided by tribal divisions - also by the various good and bad examples set by occupying European nations.

[@wilfredj.m.kabathi1633]

British Colonial Legacy at it's best. You'd swear it was the Grenadier Guards Trooping the Colour to Her Majesty The Queen. Especially when they play the Grenadier's march song haha. Brilliant

[@richardkaringuri5557]

Even the fireweapons we came to learn of them from the British. There is no problem. If they were to do the trooping of the colour without playing the Grenadier Slow match tune then it can not be it to me!

Nice "Forming on The March" there! I've certainly seen worse and seen some parades in the UK when they are too lazy to do one. The band could get the notes a bit more in tune though. I have to say that I think their dressing in line is a tad better than the Guards!!
