I say you did your majesty proud and in her own way her majesty is smiling upon all of you., for a job well done not just now but also for all the years before this moment. In her own way she held all of you close, and thought of all of you in her own way as family. She thanks you for your service as does the nation.

As a Revolutionary War reenactor I & my Regt. have marched in many parades with them, dedicated monuments with them and we were always honored to be in company with them. The captain of our rifle company had previously been sergeant of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. When I was a sergeant and/or served on our artillery piece the sword I wore was a decommissioned US 3rd Regt. weapon it was an honor to carry it. I once had the pleasure to be photographed with the soldier carrying the American flag --- that guy was 10 feet tall & I felt 9 foot standing next to him !!!

Sorry, but as a professional camera operator and editor, the colour of the tunics is distinctly different. For those of us who colour grade and colour correct footage on a regular basis, the colours are different. The crew also will be acutely aware of this - especially the camera operator who will have set the white balance (i.e. colour balance) on the camera. The joke is on you and I don't mean that offensively.

No matter what stands in your way you have to fight against it and destroy it. I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder brought on by a vicious and unpunished attack a million years ago in school, but for too long I lived in the past. Now it's damned to Hell. I'm not who I was then and I'm glad for that. It's like the scene in Falstaff where once Harry is King he says "I Know Thee Not Old Man" minus the sadness. What history! I want England to stay England. I go there and all of a sudden there's something really supernatural about the whole experience- just absolutely amazing. Thanks for making me feel better.

Retired US Navy and was in the US Air Force before that and while in the Navy served a number of years with the US Marines. Guess what, got into trouble at least once with each service (all due to beer) and had to see the Commanding Officers a number of times in all three services. Surprising how similar the procedures were to what is shown here (though the Navy is a little different because of tradition).

Coopers part, where he was with his mother and sister. Made me cry a little. Seeing his mom and sister cry because he couldn’t move, talk, interact besides holding her hand. Heart warming. I could tell he had tears in his eyes, but he could get fired for crying, laughing, smiling. Very sad, proud of Cooper.

Respect to them for joining but at roughly 28:45 they said they didn't join to stand outside all day. So why join the Grenadier Guards then and not another Infantry Regiment.
@Plawranc10 жыл бұрын
Because all soldiers have to stand outside all day, one way or another. The Grenadier Guards have a prestige only matched by the Coldstream Guards and other notable regiments. And even then. Being called a Grenadier Guard is an honor.

Peter Arthur Charles Lawrance "Because all soldiers have to stand outside all day, one way or another." Im no expert, but I'm pretty sure they don't. If you want the soldiering side and not the drill side, go join a regular infantry regiment. Pretty stupid joining the regiment who's job is 50% drill if you don't like drill.

British Armed Forces Which makes the guard division regiments more disciplined. There's more to it then just being "ceremonial" it's guarding the monarch, and it's just like any other infantry regiment expect more drill and duties (as you previously mentioned) but a lot of time it's like everyone just thinks they are just ceremonial (mostly tourists) but other regiments do ceremonial duties from time to time. It makes troops better. If you want to know ceremonial units that don't really deploy or fight, there's the king's troop (royal horse artillery) and the bands of all regiments/corps who still are trained in phase 1 obviously, but it's mainly drill and still need to learn the standards but only sometimes deploy as stretcher carriers or medics (expect from the drummers and pipers they are machine gunners) I think because they where young guys, they wanted to be on the front a lot more and because of all the other men from their regiment training to go to Afghanistan made them want that honour. And also guards have much more demanding infantry training (2 weeks longer then the rest of the infantry expect from the paras and Gurkhas) and where probably always told most of the time about Afghanistan, and they wanted to deploy to put their training to good use. So I think they did join as a guardsman because it is a a well respected regiment, it's interesting beyond the duties to the queen, and they probably did want to do it but at the same time want to do something with their career and join the war. They where glad at the start to be doing the duties, but during that short time nothing really was happening and they where always on guard most of the time (no parades expect from that one) and got bored after doing all the palaces and wanted to move to the different things they do (because it is the army) and there is so many things you can do, especially if you're young that will attract you. So the guards is not all about ceremonial duties to the royals, and people yes do join the guards but don't just expect to be doing sentries all the time because every regiment/corps in the army does loads of other things. So when you do all the palaces in such a short period of time, you want to do more that the army has to offer.

England is a magical country and a huge part of that magic is the Grenadier Guards. For me the soldiers ARE England and the amazing music produced for decades IS England. I could go beyond rock. I could say not just marching songs, but also the folk tradition going back to Medieval times- brilliant. 350 proud years of serving the most wonderful country in the World. You'd say in the history of the Grenadiers there'd be at least one screw up, one wrong move in battle or ceremony, one disgrace, but definitely 100% NOT! No fuck up ever. God do I wish we'd (America) lose all our power and be diminished to the piss ant country we are. If England was the world's largest power again the world would be a much better place. I had an amazing, fantastic experience with the Grenadier Guards 5 years ago- hoping for an even better one this September! Maybe I'll get to go even further, but they certainly give back the appreciation you give them. Very warmest heartfelt thanks and I wish the war would end soon- too many great British soldiers and European soldiers have either died or been seriously wounded.

Benjamin, I think you're a bit too admiring. If you look at any nasty little hot conflict going on at any given moment, you'd find that the British have had their finger in that particular pie at some point in the recent past. As a Briton, I find that very hard to reconcile with the peaceful, good-humoured and tolerant country in which I live.
@SuperBenblake10 жыл бұрын
Nicole K You've gotta lighten up and be less prejudiced. Do the soldiers choose the wars!? NO! Granted, not all soldiers are good, but most of them are. I have had both good and bad experiences. You can't generalize about just about anything except racism and any kind of prejudice. You must keep and open mind AND THAT INCLUDES ACCEPTING OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS.
