I visited Fort Henry and the town of Kingston, I would love to live there, Toronto is such a busy city with an un-coordinated leadership. Kingston is so beautiful and Fort Henry is a fabulous historical attraction especially for me because I love history.

I'm from Kingston it's a great city to live in

Wow, what a great video. Fort Henry shows us what a traditional Tattoo should still be like. Great combined resources of the Ceremonial Guard band, pipes & drums. They have the size of a British Guards band from many years ago. Over 50 pieces in the regimental band! The Fort Henry Corps of Drums and drill team are also first rate. This is where you have to go to see a real military tattoo anymore!

@Eric Steele A little much better than the American Colonial Fife and Drum's performance of "Rule Britannia" at The White House in 2007 in front of The Queen. Usually they would perform "Yankee Doodle" but if the Colonial Ruling Country; the United Kingdom (America's Mother Country) has a State Visit, Their performance changes to "Rule Britannia" out of loyalty and respect for the mother country we declared Independence from Over 200 years ago.

[@whdstudios2441]

@Britannia Yes, There is. USA plays the British National Anthem (Former Colonial Anthem) in front of The Queen, and the American National Anthem (Current USA National Anthem) in front of than-President Bush - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJLNqKqBqamCms0 U.S. Army Fife and Drums play "Rule Britannia" for both The Queen and than-President Bush - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJLNqKqBqamCms0 ((( Quick Patriotic Note: "Rule Britannia" is ONLY heard from the U.S. Army Fife and Drum at The White House if the mother country (United Kingdom) comes to visit for an official state visit, Rather it being the British Prime Minister, Prince Charles, or the member of The Royal Family, or The Queen herself. Most of every other state visit, They occasionally play "Yankee Doodle" only for The President of The United States as it is an American Patriotic Song used for Founding Father and President, George Washington. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnexoaqQqLaEbck "Yankee Doodle" is also an anthem for Patriotic Americans and for Preschool/Kindergarten in America. )))

[@crkarajan1967]

[@malcolmmorrison4709]

I have a recording of British Grenadiers by The Scots Guards Regimental Band. You may find recording on Amazon. Good luck.
