Shannon. The Royal Anglian Soldiers were attending a service in St. Sepulchres church immediately at the end of the parade.

[@MrTrapdrummer]

The short piece of music at 6.48 is called "The point of war" and is used as a salute to the regimental colours just before they are marched off parade. It is a very ancient signal originally beaten by fifes and drums. In battle the drummers would beat this signal as a rallying call if the colours were threatened .

Great Irish Band, pity more townsfolk were not there to witness parade.

[@Insperato62]

Is there a war memorial on the right which they saluted? Love the polite way they agreed to start the parade.

[@user-oo2qi6mv2k]

Yes it is the Northampton War Memorial in All Saints Churchyard

[@abbeymaddox3114]

can i ask why there were bells at the end rinning? 6:32

[@Coldstreamer17]

Ábbéy Máddóx because the colours are being brought into the chapel, and that is the church’s salute in a sence

Ryan Ellison, for your information see ........ www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/royal-anglian-regiment-soldiers-parade-through-northampton-1-7503526 There was a big turn-out from the people in Northampton to support and show appreciation to a group of dedicated and brave soldiers.

[@damianthomas7489]

Did they run out of officers so they gave a random guy a suit and a shotgun to lead them?

[@philipheath8265]

Who is the bloke marching inbetween the band and soldiers?

does anyone know what the salute fanfare is called at 6:45?

[@Coldstreamer17]

emptyangel it’s a quick version of the northamptonshire

[@midnightteapot5633]

I think you will find the name of this is actually "the points of war" played prior to doubling the colours off parade . it was actually an alert signal in the 18th century whereby the drums and fifes would beat it urgently to signal the colours were in danger of attack

[@user-oo2qi6mv2k]

The Regiment is known as "The Poachers" so presume the chap you refer to is a regimental mascot. Is there anyone out there from the regiment itself who can add anything to my guess?

[@kennypearce2371]
