Change of Guard @ Govt House

[@JohnPeppmeier]

Love their FN FALs !!

[@rickd248]

You can sure see the British military influence in every thing and every step they take. They are a very sharp unit.

[@jamesliu8095]

rickd248 down to how they march, stamp in or call timings, you can see even the most minute imprints.

[@sorindemetrescu697]

In all countries, these ceremonies are extremely ridiculous.

[@MikeAnderson-mh2og]

Sorin Demetrescu Why

[@sorindemetrescu697]

They are good only for naive tourists, they are anachronistic and stupid.

[@tomz1daful]

Sorin Demetrescu the Pakistan/India "Beat Retreat Wahgah border flag ceremony", imho, is Brit influenced and called choreographed contempt. Very interesting ceremony..

[@Banff454park]

Sometime it seems that these ceremonies are extremely ridiculous, but they are not. 'Guard Mounting', whereby a group of contingents (mostly infantry soldiers) are relieved by another group of contingents, is a highly precise military ceremony. It contains the military drills from peacetime and wartime and the movements are centuries old. The ceremonies are executed by elite soldiers. The Guard Mounting or Changing the Guard is an example of an upholding of an old military tradition.

[@Wanderer628]

No they're not. They are a proud tradition for each nation, performed by serving soldiers. Only a Neanderthal like you couldn't appreciate them.
