PLEASE - if you’ve watched this video before, please add another like and another comment. Due to a rather bogus copyright claim - I’ve had to delete the offending material and replace it with something else. Whilst the content is the same (i.e. pre King Charles III) - the branding is now on par with the rest of my videos going forward. I appreciate your kind support in advance! ❤

[@johanboor]

You just forgot to include Windsor! And the use of live music/sound is always better appreciated!

[@Tidybitz]

This is the first time i've seen an in depth video which explains the different aspects of the changing of the guards ceremony. Done brilliantly and with quality as usual, it was very interesting, thankyou.

[@UltimateBucketList]

You're welcome, I'm happy you approve of this video. 😀 The Changing of the Guard Ceremony is interesting once you know what's going on and why they do it this way. Sadly a lot of tourists are oblivious of these facts. I've technically uploaded this twice now (due to a bogus copyright claim), so if you could share this on your social media to help get it back to where it was, that'd be most helpful. 🙂

[@jackthomasmcdonald5652]

Would love to see a ranking list/ratings of all the cities you have been to, or maybe start a series where you give suggestions of the best places to go to for different types of travellers; Families, couples, solo, stag do etc... always enjoy your content 👍👍

[@UltimateBucketList]

That's actually a good idea! I'm not sure how I would present such ideas uniformly (as taste is always subjective), but definitely an idea to explore for future videos. Cheers for the suggestion! 👍

[@jasongarufi8187]

Great advice on where to go for the best photos on the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks again Jason. I wish I didn't have to re-upload this video, but thanks to someone who thinks they own the right to "It's a long way to Tipperary" (the original writer of the song died nearly 100 years ago), it got copyrighted - so I appreciate the additional comment and like 👍

[@Trueblue2414]

Thanks Ninh, love the videos!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thank you!

[@andrewcreech9165]

Another great video. Great to have a chat with you at the fa cup final mate. You can finally put a face to my name.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Nice one Andrew - thanks for tuning into my videos again and nice to see you at the FA Cup final!

[@andrewcreech9165]

@@UltimateBucketList saw you from the distance and thought I've seen your face before. Keep football stadium videos coming

[@mcbalint2686]

When will you make new stadium tour video? I like them so much! Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Technically, my last video was a stadium tour (Wimbledon). Thanks.

[@mcbalint2686]

@@UltimateBucketList I mean a football stadium.

[@nickoch5855]

Only the Brits can put on a show like this with all the pompr of royal splendor.

[@UltimateBucketList]

I agree with that! I've seen the Changing of the Guard ceremonies in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm (the other European Kingdoms) and they're not even close to the spectacle they put on in London. Definitely check this out if you're in Central London for the day! 😀

[@Evemeister12]

To be fair, the monarchies of Europe tend to be less ostentatious with their ceremonies as it's seen as bad taste there.

[@aidanphillips9337]

Haven’t you released the video of the royal guards few years ago?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, as mentioned in the top comment - a rather bogus copyright claim forced me to re-upload this video. If you could share this video, comment and like it again, that'd be super.

[@XteamMAB]

Ah you changed it

[@UltimateBucketList]

Most of the video is the same, just without the supposedly copyrighted material in it.

[@biwarikikumstackernz]

Welcome Back Ninh! It looks like you have taken a good long holiday break. Well done! Please do check out my travel videos and 😆😆Consider giving me shout out. We can discuss on that via email. But great to see your new rebranding of your channel. Brilliant sir! Like #40.

[@UltimateBucketList]

I have been busy with my day job, so I haven't uploaded as many videos as I'd have liked. But you'll see me upload more videos soon. Thanks for your support as always.

[@thechunkylions3787]

Always first!!!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks.

[@matthewpayton]

You need to change your commentary to King.

[@UltimateBucketList]

I considered doing that - but sadly anything with 'Queen' is still more popular than anything with 'King', so I left it as I edited it the first time around years ago.
