Duke of Kent's final day as Colonel @ Scots Guards Annual Remembrance Day (14th April 2024)

[@trishrobinson5828]

The Duke has served longer than I've been alive. I hope his retirement is relaxing and happy. I did cry while the bagpipes played. Thank you.

[@Royal.Knowledge]

An impressive duty he has undertaken, not many still work at 88! It really got me too, such a beautiful ceremony

[@BeverleyGrobelaar]

Same here - very poignant ... I wish the Duke a very happy retirement - well deserved ....

Hi London Royal. Great Video of the Scots Guards Black Sunday commemorations. The lament is Flowers of the Forest. It's always played at Remembrance Sunday. Always a a good turn out by the Scots Guards for their Black Sunday. I was there 2 years ago when it was the 40th anniversary of the The Falklands Campaign. That was a really impressive turnout by the Veterans. Scots Guards received a Battle Honour for their capturing of Mount Tumbledown. The only infantry regiment that doesn't have all this bowlers and umbrellas nonsense to distuinguish officers from the ranks!

Thank you so much for sharing, that's really interesting!

The Last Post always chokes me up, and so much more poignant on bagpipes. As always, thanks for this!!

[@Royal.Knowledge]

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, very poignant isn't it...

[@elizabethghent194]

Absolutely Wonderful, I loved all of this video. Love to see the Scots Guards, the choice of tunes perfect. I am Scottish, I love the bagpipes especially, but it is a bit sad to see so few pipers in this Scots Guards parade . Love the history of the Scots Guards too.

[@Royal.Knowledge]

So pleased you enjoyed the video :)

[@AnnofWales21]

Splendid video. You have to admire the dignity and pride of all those taking part. Great to see the band in ranks of 6 and to see and hear the pipes, they add that extra special element. Thank you for making and sharing this video👍

This was a lovely parade, everyone looked so good and marched so well. I’m not Scottish but I adore the Scottish pipes and drums, wonderful sound as was the Guard’s band. A poignant occasion well done. Thank you for video 😊

did not like police on bikes shame you missed out the important part of the ceremony you still had a like for your effort

[@Royal.Knowledge]

Yes they do get in the way! Unfortunately the 'chosen' media were blocking my way and I wanted to be on the near side to see the soldiers arriving. If I wasn't expecting, I would have run around but I hope you still enjoyed it!
