GRENADIER GUARDS IN BRUGES 2.9.2016 / Day 1(don't forget to look at the day2-video)

[@joeturner1597]

My Great Granddad was in the Grenadiers in the Boer War. East Surreys in 1914. DOW 10th Oct. at Lorgies after the withdrawal from the canal. He is in Boulogne East cemetery. I pop in to see him from time to time. He was the spitting image of my Grandson. Who we have now lost.

Very nice ceremony. Bond of Friendship and Hands Across the Sea - two outstanding marches. Thanks for posting/

[@richardcleveland8549]

Great video. Nobody, but NOBODY does pomp like the British!

[@johnyboudens3404]

Bedankt Franck , u bent een echte Vriend . En zeer mooi gefilmd . Je bent een krak xxxxx

[@romeo9017]

Have you ever tried marching on cobbles - very difficult....

[@danielw5850]

Well said, in mitigation to anyone who thinks that this is easy, the echoing of the buildings, from the band/Bass drum, is disorienting too.

[@brianneale2006]

very good video and Brugge is a very historical city

[@goldbloke]

was there in 56 300 birthday of the grenadier guards

[@nyotatambwe]

Fantastisch!

[@jimspink2922]

Great turn out bet crowd got a shock when rifles fired. At 7.18 solder in green uniform with hat and feathers would that be from the Kings Guard of Norway

[@joeturner1597]

Bloody good turn out from the HAC as well.

[@semajbronson21]

Drum Major Harry Sutton, Grenadier Guards leading The Band of the Grenadier Guards

[@johnstevenson1709]

Semaj I find you so intriguing how did you come to be interested in British army bands are you a us copper?

[@semajbronson21]

@@johnstevenson1709 I'm just a huge fan and supporter of the guards.

[@Peter-lm3ic]

Heel ongepast dat mensen door het spelen van de Brabancon heen praten. Het is het Belgische Volkslied!!

[@JoseMartinez-pl6vb]

Where did this occur at in Europe..?

[@frankvergucht4597]

In Bruges /Belgium.

[@JoseMartinez-pl6vb]

Who are the ones dressed in Spanish garb..?

[@matthings4133]

Its british i think

[@frankvergucht4597]

I do not understand what your question is about. Please explain further. Grtz

[@navahotorzs9089]

Opening music name?

[@jxpsert3494]

how did they bring so many rifles WITH KNIVES to Belgium???

[@frankvergucht4597]

JasperP good question, I really don’t know...

[@sheilaghbrosky]

Those are bayonets which are part of their military equipment.

[@alexcc8664]

They deserve to after fighting in the great war to defend you

[@gray3553]

We will miss you Europeans but hey ho life goes on lol.

[@cleynpiercke7507]

The North Sea doesn't get any wider. Think about the good things: cheap beer again on the ferries. ;-)

[@sykes2698]

Why where did the Europeans go? We’re right here

[@archiebald4717]

Where are the Europeans going? If they vacate Europe can we take over the territory?

[@14hook]

bravo zulu

[@Pribumi1]

7:35 LOL

[@Bereadyalways123]

Great to see it, but them BLOODY bells, why did the authorites stop them awful bells..?

[@matthings4133]

11:02 Don't tell me this was the flemish anthem

[@davidoneill9244]

Those TINY musicians make a mockery.

[@davidoneill9244]

The presence of female bandsmen & especially small women denigrates the Guards

[@terryreeves4290]

In your opinon my friend

[@mike7002]

Well, does it? Anyone can play an instrument. I do get the argument that the average female is less strong than the average male, but I bet those girls could kick the absolute living shit out the average civvy. It also doesn't lessen anything they have done in the past. This is just change.

[@misssparkles7520]

David Dear, i think you need a time machine to bring you forward to 2018.....sheesh

[@dutydrummer9259]

Members of UK Regular Army bands are all now enlisted in the Corps Of Army Music (CAMUS) They may be male or female. The designation 'bandsman' is no longer in official use in our Army. They are e,g. Musician Smith. Our army and its bands are all the better for this.

[@ken-u3n]

@David O'Neill. Absolutely spot-on with that remark, as those in the Service already know. Watch some of these little half-pints try to keep up with the guys coming out of Wellington Barracks en route to the Palace or to Horse Guards, or on any Left or Right Wheel. Laughable.

[@stephenhulme6583]

Has any body inspected these guys . In shot 2.27 the guy in the centre rank looks like he is wearing shorts. His tweeds are half mast. Times have changed. such is life. And its not because i am a Ex Coldstream Guard, Just take a look detail is everything.

[@lesliehall7683]

The navy have overtaken the guards at marching

[@theseeker4642]

As my father was a Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer I've photographs of him training the sailors to march. You can't beat the Royal Navy uniform it's head & shoulders above the Army & RAF, but being a Scot, The Coldstream Guards & The Black Watch are another firm favourite.

[@pvinny5815]

The worst march I've EVER seen a Guard do........
