Boi at 3:05 when the guard nearly fell and those women laughed at them, I actually felt like buying a ticket to London to slap them. Marching is already difficult enough. Plus the Royal Guards have to Stand up Straight in any weather for 10+ hours. Plus there are literally puddles on the ground, so YES it is slippery.

My father enlisted in the Grenadier Guards in Nov 1939 & was demobbed in May1946. He was very proud of have been a Guardsman, I used to watch with amusement on the occasions when he met by chance another of his kind also wearing the Brigade of Guards or Regimental ties, which was usually how they knew each other. No matter about differences in age or background, it was like some sort of secret society from which we mere mortals were excluded.

[@moodylad2033]

That happened to my father in law, someone came up to him, shook his hand and started going on about the regiment, he's going "what are you on about", and the bloke says "regimental tie" and my father in law goes "this?

He gave a copy to the Band Master of the Coldstream Guards and they have played it ever since. Many years later, When Figaro opened in London, people recognised the march as that which the Coldstream Guards played.
