Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace

[@AvaT42]

Love those blue uniforms!! 🇨🇦. Even playing music they keep I’m perfect marching time. Must be hard to do

[@aislingmichaelaoneill1028]

Sonia Hamilton That’s the Band of the RAF Regiment. The RCAF mounted guard and provided the band recently. Many UK military musicians hold Master’s degrees in music performance.

I think if you watch carefully ( the camera is a little high to see clearly) the centre RAF trombonist sees the plate first and starts the process, by kicking back on it. The Guards trombonist then flattens it completely. Quick thinking by all concerned, although I can't help thinking it should have been seen to by the police beforehand. It looked to me too that there was a policewoman looking directly at it before the march out, but didn't do anything!

[@TheDrummie1]

She was waiting on a risk assessment being carried out before acting.

[@_MORG_PL]

There is no better thing than watching a perfectly coordinated drill. The way those first two squads march... as if they were shifting on the chessboard. Beautiful.

[@weejimsdad]

As an army vet of 34 years, it was the hate we loved. Nobody enjoyed drill; we understood the value, but when you were all on...man, it was magic!!

[@TheDrummie1]

Nice warning signal Drum Major for the retaining plate for the gate. And the good old Lance Sgt Guards Trombone player tramps it flat. Well done.

[@NicholasWarnertheFirst]

Great Camera position thanks!

What's up with the 7-foot monster at 5:00? Coldstream Guards have a basketball team?

[@FloofyMinari]

Looks like some members of the Grenadier Guard have disguised themselves as Coldstreamers.

[@Penguin_of_Death]

@@FloofyMinari From 4:54 are Grenadier Guards - you can tell by the even spacing of the buttons on their tunics, and the Grenadier's regimental badge on the collar. Also, no red plume on the right of the bearskin cap. The tall guy is possibly from The Queen's Company of The Grenadier Guards, as they are all 6ft+ tall. The bandsmen from 3:06 to 4:53 are Coldstream Guards.

[@DanielBrennan9]

Major Unit!

[@idot3331]

I think it's just an illusion. If you look at the other guards, they're arranged to have the tallest at the front and the shortest at the back. So he looks massive compared to the shortest three guards at the back, but is probably just above average height.

[@youtubeaccount5738]

Oi, those are Gren Guards, not Coldstream Guards! Usually, Coldstream guard escorts (and other regiments besides the Grenadiers) don’t shout “Sir!” in response to the command “Out the escort!” Gren Guard escorts shout “Sir!” in response to that command.

[@danielw5850]

My favourite part is hearing the police officer, asking the adults to let the children come to the front; parents need not be too concerned, there are coppers everywhere!😉💂🏻‍♀️

Holyrood, March of the RAF Regiment.

[@semajbronson21]

at 1:25 and 1:27 What is the Drum Major pointing at?

[@gavsky23]

You can see it clearly at 01:33 - a metal gate stop (which folds down flat and someone in the band has sensibly knocked it down shortly afterwards!). The DM is warning the Director of Music behind him so he doesn't trip! (and possibly the rest of the band).

[@semajbronson21]

Thanks

[@holton345]

Coldstream Guards trumpeter: Don't forget we have to parade tomorrow. Coldstream Guards bassoonist: Right! I need to make a "combat reed". What did I do with my kevlar "cane"? Coldstream Guards bassoonist: @4:35 playing bassoon for God and Queen…

At 1:25 what's the name of the song they are playing?

[@adrielspencer8962]

It's the 'RAF March Past', official march of the Royal Air Force, composed by Sir Henry Walford Davies in 1918 :)

[@jimspink2922]

2.20 no escort to the colours ?

[@steveellis9065]

The escort won’t happen until they have broken into quick time and fully left the palace or barracks.

[@semajbronson21]

at 1:50 how come one of the cornet players have the 4 inverted chevrons of a Drum Major?

[@TheDrummie1]

He is a Drum Major. The Drum Majors in the RAF come from within the ranks of the band and are musicians. The cornet player probably deputises when the regular DM is off.

Thought the minimum height for the Guards was 6'4.inches what happened. suppose it's like British Bobbies used to be min 6 foot. changing times i guess

[@NicholasBerry666]

5’10 was the height requirement prior to WW2. These days being giants can be somewhat of a disadvantage.

[@idot3331]

Being tall isn't really an advantage in the age of modern warfare. In fact being tall just means you're easier to shoot at. Not that the guards ever see any action while on duty anyway.
