IMMS-UK: Household Division Bands - State Visit, Windsor - April 2014

[@achmattassiem-om5le]

The symbol of the IMMS fills me with great pride.A few years ago we had a branch in South Africa but with a Springbok on top of the badge to signify... South Africa.great memories.

[@meadowlands1937]

Well done!! Superb camera work. Thanks again

[@GrimleySweden]

Thanks for the effort in uploading these great videos! A very good promotion of this event itself and of course the musicianship and excellence of the British military bands! Keep it up!

Beautiful.....I was born and bred in this historic town by the river Thames. The army is an integral part of the town’s history and life today. My grandfather was a Grenadier guard. My late father-in-law was an Irish guard who served overseas for six years during WWII. My husband was an Irish guard as well, choosing to serve in his father’s regiment. This comes second nature to most, if not all, Windsorians. We are certainly proud to have been born and raised in Windsor...

[@militaryevents107]

Semaj Bronson gotta love him

[@Averajoe]

That song at 2:32 is really bugging me. Does anyone know what it is because i can't seem to find it anywhere :(

[@adelaide102]

It's about time Thames Valley Police took some pride in their appearance for such occasions. So scruffy, they look like they are emptying the dustbins.

[@Fbo194]

Yes across the country, some officers look fantastic, always clean shaven, headdress on, shirts tucked in etc. A very small minority don't though. I understand often you may be wearing general policing kit rather than police ceremonial/service dress, but you can still look smart regardless of what dress of uniform you are wearing!

[@lesliehall7683]

I agree with you they are a disgrace in london

[@maureenstaniforth4493]

Enjoy

[@Sam-vr3ss]

the irish guards plumes look a little different from the normal st. patricks blue. Did anyone else notice that it looks a little more green?

[@tralens]

Could be that Blue does not come out well on this video. Trust me that the plumes are the true St.Patrick's Blue.

[@22ndregiment46]

It could be me.. but are they marching a bit faster than normal? Because.. the march "Edinburgh Castle" sounds really fast tempo, like 6/8 instead of 4/4

[@elkartian]

Great and Glorious by Statham is at 2.34

[@jackgymlad819]

what's the song at 1:47 this has been bugging me for a day

[@Hjaltland60]

+Jack Parfitt "Duncan" Gray by Robert Burns

[@scotjim6308]

Edinburgh Castle March

[@43mrssimba]

I really enjoyed this parade and the music.(Name of the beautiful march at 4.00 please?)

[@mommyx3ify]

At 7:06, the french horn player of the Scots Guards wiped his nose on the mouthpiece and kept playing. That is kind of disgusting.

[@gaiusmarius4112]

I've been wondering this for a long time, what's that yellow thingy covering the ground is that really horse feces ??

[@theinquiryplease4404]

Armchair General 'Gotta go when ya Gotta go'

[@hydropete1948]

Armchair General Sand

[@gaiusmarius4112]

So it's sand not poop ok

[@figjam59]

They spread sand to aid grip, and yes there is horse faeces on the ground as well.

[@sikapossu7166]

[@tammyfowler280]

Your Irish Wolfhound needs boots for the hot pavement....

[@bronekkomorowski6606]

Fehrbelliner Marsch is German!

[@tomAS-27]

Aha it’s so great to show off your millitary to a country with hardly one

[@bobamericana3099]

as an american- lets oil our boots for russia

[@Insperato62]

@adelaide102- it's called 20% cutbacks. No:1 uniforms isn't all they've lost in terms of equipment. They know they'd look smarter in pressed trousers, shirt and ties rather than the practical, serviceable crap they have to wear. Nothing more depressing than having to make the best of a cheapskate uniform when standing next to an unnervingly smart Guardsman whose uniform costs a few thousand quid and yours doesn't - the useful stuff they buy for themselves.Thames Valley Constabulary has to find £millions for Terrorist Operations (being so close to London), so not a lot is left over to protect the locals. You'd really think the cost of such operations would be met by a huge central government fund wouldn't you ... but this England 2014.

[@Fbo194]

True, but for goodness sake why did they have to take away (as far as I am aware) the Custodian helmet from Thames Valley officers? It is the image of a British 'policeman' and should never have been sacrificed. These cutbacks are a disgrace to the nation.

[@Insperato62]

Fbo194 - difficult to run in, cannot wear in a car, bit of an arse to keep taking on and off, and scumbags like to collect them. Nuff said.

[@Fbo194]

Insperato62 You can wear peaked caps in cars, granted difficult to run in, but so is anything but the stab vets and belts and boots are a bit worse I imagine, and scumbags collect anything with police on! Yes not for every policing duty, but definitely on a public, foot, state visit!

[@Insperato62]

I wasn't referring to the peaked caps being worn in cars but the old fashioned type pointed kind.

[@semajbronson21]

9:10 Drum Major WO2 Damian P. Thomas, Grenadier Guards leading The Band of the Irish Guards

[@fabiorossi2531]

What's the march at 10,17?
