Good spirited march. Troops sharp as ever. Hoping to hear Men of Harlech.

Ah yes, 3 of my favourite marches are played. Btw, my brother, who's currently a Corporal in the Singapore Police Force, marched to "Glorious Victory" when entering HTA's (Home Team Acadamy) parade square. Ah, the pride! Sarafand ain't bad either.

[@ritapitt8273]

Terrific video thanks 😊

Insulate Britain should try blocking this lot on the road, I would pay to see that.

i am from the netherlands and i like this music very much, but i have 2 questions wy does the guy with the flag by the right turn in te begin of the video his flag over his shoulder and why do they saluut the horse gard thank you I understand that you don't do it in dutch ha ha This a good answer so i can understand what and why they are doeing it thanks for that... I have another question maybe you know that why whenthe guard is out of the baraks and on the street you see the last 2 soldier runnen up front and take ther place next to the flag and when they arive the hold and take there place at the and again why are the doeing that

[@Scipionic1941]

The colour (flag) is held at the slope position, staff over the shoulder, to give the ensign (the bloke carrying it) a bit of a rest while on the march. The colour is held at the carry, straight up and down, at the start and end of the parade or if a senior officer or dignitary is encountered en route. The salute is given to the Life Guards’ standard (the flag equivalent of the infantry colour) I am not military so hope I haven’t got any of this wrong. Sorry I can’t do this in Dutch. Your English is about a hundred times better than my Dutch.

[@steveellis9065]

The two soldiers who run from the back are junior non commissioned officers there role is to protect the color when on the streets. If there is no colors like at Windsor they will protect the commanding officer. On returning to the safety of the palace or barracks they return to the rear of the formation

[@bbrauer5]

Always wondered - maybe someone here has the answer - why do certain soldiers swing their arms opposite the rest of the troop?

[@militaryevents107]

Depends on what your holding!

[@kennethsewell4245]

Watch the feet all in time its because the officers are carrying sword or colour

[@sbandsman1]

Nice to see a certain Chainsaw player with his "Propper " band!

[@MilitaryBandsSouthWestUK]

[@militaryevents107]

Yes!

[@MilitaryBandsSouthWestUK]

@@militaryevents107 thought so! I recognise that swagger anywhere

[@seressantana8924]

Excelente vídeo. Muito lindo.

[@Pribumi1]

I'm just noticing the uniform of the director of music have a shoulder cap(?) like their fellow bandsmen, is that a new thing?

[@militaryevents107]

He is the bandmaster, I don’t actually know where the welsh DOM is.

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

@@militaryevents107 The Welsh Guards DOM is Major Hallet currently.

[@militaryevents107]

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Down the street from Buckingham palace. Maybe under a mile

[@leonardwaga]

What is the first march?

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

Awesome

[@leonardwaga]

5:15 what happened?

[@Hjaltland60]

The music is to remain silent as the household cavalry passes so it doesn’t spook the horses and word of commands can be heard for saluting as both regiments pass each other.
