King Charles III arrives at Balmoral August 2024

[@marlenalinne]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. This stuff just blows me away!! The kilts, the uniforms, the pipe and drums playing "Scotland the Brave", the anthem, the Corporal. All of it. What's not to love? And the king looks wonderful!! The last time I saw this it was what turned out to be the Queen's last visit with Major Johnny Thompson. Thanks again.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Thanks for your king comments Marlenalinne - I'd wanted to be there for this for many a year and it did not disappoint!

Was also at the most recent D-Day celebration back in June and this brings back those fond memories of the bands and pipes that played that day. Gave me chills watching this. Thank you!

[@Phyllida-r7n]

The King costs very little. Easily made up, and far, far, more by the tourist industry and videos for the delight of tourists such as this. Where do you think the Government gets ALL its money from? Taxing the rich? You’re sorely deluded. The Royal Family works hard and is an immense attraction, delivering the sort of revenue needed for heating our homes, never mind protecting us and the millions of benefits it does its best to provide. That is every Government’s job. Some do it better than others but for sure definitely don’t need people like you running it down on a global platform, and demanding perfection for everybody. What don’t you get?

A Massive shout-out to the Royal Regiment of Scotland this is an outstanding Regiment

[@DuncanFraser-g4d]

I did like the time that King Charles took in inspecting the guard of honour and communicating with the troops. Many years ago I was the Sgt Major on parade of our school cadets and used to get quite peeved when a visiting military officer inspecting our guard of honour would rush through without really inspecting the guard of honour. We used to spend hours preparing, ironing, boning boots, shining brassware etc., and most often felt it a waste of time. Good on him for acknowledging their presence.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Was a great inspection!
