I know that feeling for the Bass Trombonist at 2:50 getting head light doing a solid run of the scale while maintaining playing at double FF! Great performance!

I love those coats

Superb, thank you.

Anyone know the name of the march that starts at 5:41 as they go into the castle grounds?

[@vickyRoyalHistory]

That would be The Great Little Army. A Spiffing March

@@delvinrodriguez3341 I've Lost a lot of Data, so I'll have to Reconstruct a lot of Stuff. There should be something Flying your way later today. Thank God Uni is on Semester Break for the Rest of the Week. First Chance I've had to Look at it properly. Apparently, it was a Synchronicity Problem. I had to go back to the Last Save I Did & Re Install it & I lost 15 days worth of Data, including 1 lot of Assignments & 2 Extramural Test Papers. That Represents over 1000 hrs of Student Work. Reconstructing those is Going to be Fun, but I've Got into the Habit of Saving those emails as soon as they Come in & I've lost about 50 Papers that didn't Save Properly. I'm So Impressed. I think my Next Purchase maybe an Apple with Apple-Mac.

Why were they heading to Windsor castle a different way

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

During Easter Court, they go via the gates at the top of castle hill and conduct the guard change in the quadrangle. I’ve never known the full tradition behind why they do it in the quadrangle but there’s a period of a week or even 2 weeks where they do it in the quadrangle, + it’s every day!

[@vickyRoyalHistory]

@@ArmedForcesVideos7 Hi AFV. I Posted the History of Easter Court on your Video 30/03. The First Chronicle Date it was Done is During the Reign of Henry Vll & Henry Vlll Carried it on. It's Evolved over the Centuries, but that's why Easter Court is Still done. A Tradition of Well Over 600 Years. The Last time it was changed is During the Reign of George V.

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

@@vickyRoyalHistory Thank you very much for the history behind this.. I never knew!

[@vickyRoyalHistory]

@@ArmedForcesVideos7 Hi Mr AFV! You are More than Welcome. In Another case of Serendipity, I was Actually Working on the Church & How it worked in Relation to Royal Courts. So it only took a minute to Find 'Easter Court'. I'm sure it was in Place as far back as Edward lll & Henry V, but it wasn't recorded then. I just used the Tudor Period because there are Documents that mention it with all the Details from that Period.

[@tonipearson4164]

Why is there always a guard without an instrument in the band?

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

That is the Band Master or director of music. They carry a music baton to conduct the band when they are in the castle.

[@tonipearson4164]

@@ArmedForcesVideos7 Thank you very much. I have always wondered about this.

It's not HD

[@vickyRoyalHistory]

It is on My Computer, try Setting the Quality to 1080 on your Quality Settings.

[@michaelweavers8482]

Surely there is something wrong with the date of this video, don't the Guardsman change into Tunic order when the clocks go forward.

[@militaryevents107]

Not this year!! It’s all very strange!

[@cathyb46]

​@militaryevents107 With all the rain we have had I don't blame them. Wouldn't want to be polishing the cuirass every day after bad weather😊

[@danielmeyers3467]

There was a notice posted why. Cold weather set in

[@vickyRoyalHistory]

They usually go into Summer Order - The Red Tunics - the Day the Clocks go Forward, so this year it would've been 31/03 which was Easter Sunday. However, there has been Lower than Normal Temps during the Month of March, so the Change to Summer Order has been Delayed. It won't be too long before they go into the Red Tunics one Hopes. Have a Good Week.
