As a Guardsman from the 70's/80's I find the arms drill really strange.. especially the Stand Easy..

Thanks for posting from a different perspective. Enjoyed very much. Questions for some kind person. Why do no guards at the gate sometimes salute, and on other occasions not? Why do two guards run from the rear to the flank the officer in charge ? Thanks in anticipation. Regards from Cornwall
@ChangingGuard2 жыл бұрын
They salute when it is an officer entering or leaving and also when the Guard march in or out of the barracks. The two soldiers, normally NCO's, who double forward are the Captains Escort,

I was in Windsor yesterday and Victoria Barracks is currently home of the Coldstream Guards, were these guys visiting or is it an old video just uploaded.
@ChangingGuard2 жыл бұрын
It is still the home of the Coldstream Guards, When the Guard is drawn from another Regiment they are bussed to Victoria Barracks and step-off from there.

@@ChangingGuard Well I never. I have passed the Barracks 100's of times and look up to see who is stationed there. Then when they do the Changing of the Guard ceremony I naturally assumed it were the incumbents. Combermere if I recall have the Welsh Guards holed up at the moment. Thanks for the info, I will let the kids know when I am next in Windsor, which will be in a couple of weeks.

No, they wear what are called ammunition boots that have studded soles which amplifies the sound and their drill instills discipline which, although that may seem old fashioned to some, is essential in any infantry unit.
