Fantastic video MrB! Great to see The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers past and present! The marches played were, 1) 0:05-Star of Erin 2) 2:44-Through Bolts and Bars (Per Aspera Ad Astra) 3) 7:11-Northumbrian Airs (??) 4) 9:31-Northumbrian Airs (??) 5) 12:20-The King's Guard 6) 15:34-Guards Armoured Division 7) 19:32-Standard of St. George 8) 22:04-The Contemptibles 9) 25:29-The Seventh Royal Fusiliers 10) 28:25-Star of Erin (Could someone please tell me if I've got numbers 3 & 4 correct? Is it another version of 'Northumbrian Airs' that was usually played by the Fusiliers? Or is it a completely different march and name?

[@AnnofWales21]

Hurrah! I was hoping you’d turn up with the list and you must have while I was writing my comment. Thank you, I’m so pleased you have because a lot of the marches were unfamiliar (although thanks to you tuition some of them are familiar 🥳) I think this is a video I shall be returning to😎

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Tka Delvin...wish I had a memory like yours...mines is slowly disintigrating.

[@ginkiat7268]

Helloo Delvin, any guesses on what happened to Gareth at 8:33?

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

​​@@ginkiat7268​ Hello Ginkiat, I think he was upset because the Time-Beater didn't do the double taps for the cut-off, they're usually done immediately when the DM brings the Staff (mace) up. A simple mistake by the time beater, but clearly SDM Gareth wasn't happy hahaha! You can actually see a Musician next to the Time-Beater bring it to his attention, although a bit late.

[@ginkiat7268]

@@delvinrodriguez3341 Oh hahah yea I agree. Thanks for the analysis, maybe the drum beater had the same thought as trooping the color, when the soldiers marched past in quick time.

[@ritapitt8273]

Thank you so much for this video, i sometimes get a bit down, as to how Britain is right now, then you see this and realise we have so much to be proud of, well done the irish guards band, and all the boys and girls who are willing to fight for the UK 🇬🇧 😊

[@MrBaton74]

You are welcome.

[@rogerswann9695]

it was good to see the R R Fcorps of drums ..its a real shame they cant have their own regimental band!! ex RRFdrummer here !!

[@AnnofWales21]

Wow! What a fantastic video! Beautifully filmed (and certainly pleasing to the ,ahem, fan club members😌) It’s so nice to see and hear the band marching in less familiar, to the armchair viewer that is, territory. We get to see a whole different side to things and it’s wonderful. I can’t wait for Delvin to arrive with the march list! Some of the marches were new to me, well either that or I’ve just heard them very infrequently. They played “The King’s Guard” which I love, especially at 14:24 when they start to rev up, ready to get the afterburners on😍 I’m also looking forward to Vicky’s take on this, she can lead the way for the fan club members just as the SDM ,leads the way for the band😉 The whole parade was marvellous, the pride evident throughout, with the veterans bringing up the rear with their chests puffed out as in the days of yore. Thank you everso much MrB, I have thoroughly enjoyed this video and appreciate your time and efforts to bring the event to those of us in far flung places.👏🏻

[@hazel1605]

Thanks for that Ann, yes a lovely video to see and hear. Definitely tunes there I’ve not heard before too. I reckon Vicky, yourself, Charlotte and I are founder members of this fan club? 😅😅

[@helenveasey7318]

I really enjoyed this video a lot. It was so nice to hear the beautiful music, see the guards and the British military. Everything is done with so much precision and spirit. I think the British architecture is so beautiful and unique. I'm always so impressed when I watch videos from England how clean everything is and to see all the trees and parks in what looks like a business area. Thank you so much for sharing such an enjoyable video. I appreciate all the hard work everyone put into this.

@@hazel1605 oh yes! I think I leapt on the bandwagon (unintended pun😏) when I realised I was not alone and that Vicky and Charlotte were on the case! Alba is a fairly recent arrival to awaken to and appreciate the many fine qualities of the subject! I’m pretty sure there are many nameless fans too but they don’t tend to express admiration quite so freely🤭 We have to make the most of the appearances now😏

Thanks for this Mr. B. This year is 100 years from 1924 when the Regiment was granted freedom of the City of London (source Forces News)

You're welcome, thank you.

What a fabulous video, Mr.Baton, so wonderful! You've made a great job filming for so long time through the City of London! A magnificent Military Parade, thanks to all members involved, thanks to the musical support of the extraordinary and excellent Irish Guards Band, led by the Incomparable Impeccable SDM Gareth Chambers. They have carried out an absolutely stunning performance and played beautiful and enjoyable marches. Really exceptional!! Thank you very much Mr.Baton, the best way to end this day!! Good night!

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Dan-tf1zq]

This an exceptionally clear video. It's just I was marching along with the band!

Appreciate the comment, thank you.

Thank you Mr Baton for this very enjoyable video. I have never before seen those , wrong term I know, the aprons the Fusiliers are wearing. Very striking!

[@MrBaton74]

Glad you enjoyed it.

Nina here - that would brighten up your Monday working morning 😊

[@MrBaton74]

Definitely, think it surprised some of the people walking through the streets.

[@Scipionic1941]

A bit strange in the age of the beard to see clean-shaven pioneer sergeants, one with dark glasses. Great video.

Not in trend anymore 😂

​@@ginkiat7268the drum major signalled to the bass drummer to signal to the band to stop playing (where he beats twice) however, the bass drummer probably didnt see that signal

[@e.chambers2973]

Super! Had been hoping someone would cover this Freedom of the City of London centenary parade by the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. (Thank you MrBaton!) A terrific showing by the RRF, lead by their axe-armed pioneers and corps of drums. The Band of the Irish Guards were in top swaggering form too. A great occasion for the RRF.

[@emstirling-is4nu]

This is indeed a rare sighting, we hardly see them...they are impressive. Just wished I could see more of the regiment. Finally at 24.00 we see the marchers...tks Mr B.

[@Nathan.150]

This page is about the bands

[@e.chambers2973]

You can see more of the regiment on this parade on a vid by Basil's Military Bands, although the music has been ruthlessly chopped and diced in the editing suite. It makes for very satisfying viewing if you can capture both the marchers and the band fairly equally on a parade, but when you're on your own it's often either too difficult or impossible. You'd need two shooters, especially on a parade this size. It was a huge regimental affair - which is why you wanted to see its full scope! 😀

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Our Guards are so in tune with the others and fill in perfectly with each other when needed.

[@jcr_jcr]

Another great video. Thank you Mr Baton. Wonderful musicians and marching soldiers. Brings joy to my heart. How can I find out in advance when parades like these are going to take place. Is there a website, any one, somehwere for this?

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you. There's a calendar on the Household Division website that list some of the upcoming events, although they are not all shown on there. There's also a calendar on the IMMS UK website that list some of the events as well.
