Armed Forces Day 2022 - Edinburgh Parade [4K/UHD]

GSM Tony Gibson divides the parade from Bute House, Charlotte Square to St. Andrews Square in Edinburgh into two halves.
Group 1 depart at 10:15am on the nose led by The Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
Group 2 depart 10:17am led by The RAF Central Scotland Pipes & Drums
Tony, a real hero last week at 40th Anniversary of Falklands War parade, where he saved a downed pipers life with CPR, stresses the importance of staying safe.
I follow Group 2 as Pipes & Drums rules - Group 2 for me!

An Edinburgh laddie born n bred I never served in Her Majesty’s Armed forces . But from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your service.

Lots if your Country men did. And still do and hopefully will in the future. But let's hope that in the future all return safely to their homes. Stuart Brown.

Great to see the RAF Pipers. They don't always get such great coverage and they are fantastic!

[@Ronald7077]

Glad you mentioned they where RAF, I would have missed that despite the Blue tartan. Def they are the best. Love pipes and Drums.

[@gwynnethcoan761]

Oh, wonderful. Watching this from Perth in Australia. Edinburgh “lassie” who misses home very much. Thank you.

[@inostiv2955]

Music with RITAM is-MAGICAL..!

[@m.a.sanderson5016]

Scottish pipe bands are the most dignified bands in the world. I like how even the police officer that travelled to the side of the band walked in time to the music. Great video!

I am an american but I imagine being in battle somewhere pinned down and everything looks hopeless. Then you hear the sound of bagpipes in the distance and you know reinforcements are coming and you'll be saved.

[@stuartbrown8367]

I grew up on Boys Own books. Stories of Scottish soldiers hanging on to the stirrups of the Cavalry and thus being expressed into battle.

There's some beautiful mountains in California just north east of Fresno California. I went up to a Renaissance fair slipped out under the stars and the next morning just before sunrise just as a glow of sunlight we're starting there was a fog over the pond and across the pond I couldn't see him but there was a lone Piper and it was the most wonderful sound to hear in the morning

Hi Jim! Good Lord, what a shocked it must have been seeing that piper collapse pfff..!! And a great shout out to you and Tony for taking action. You're both hero's!! With the knowledge of what happend last week I anxiously watched the piper behind the Pipe Major. I felt that he was struggling with everything brrrr... What was Tony saying about his uniform? Didn't catch that. And that poor little dog at 11.25. .😯 Took a fright of the beautiful music?

A race of xenophobic insular arrogant island dewllers who still thimk they have an empire and actually have something to say in the big wide world . A race who spit their dummy when they don't get to call the shots BREXIT being the classic example. A race who are still living in 1945 when the rest of the world has moved on decades ago.

Strange but the opening band music sounds far more Russian than it does Scottish. Listen to any of the Victory Day parades in Red Square, Moscow if you don't believe me.

The opening march is Arromanches, composed by AE Kelly in 1948 to commemorate the allied landings during WW2 at french region of ARROMANCHES near the Normandy Beach head.
