Once again I’m in awe of your knowledge! And you come up with the information so quickly! I’m almost hopping with excitement about Saturday when I shall actually be there in person 🥳 It would be really handy if I could hear you whispering the names of the marches through an earbud but I suppose it won’t happen. However, you can be sure that the ones I can actually put a name to myself will have been learned from your lists. Thanks Delvin👍

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

​@@AnnofWales21Awww Thanks! I'm surprised you find it was quick! I found myself thinking I was slow today! As I said in my other comment a few minutes ago Safe Travels! Enjoy yourself! WAVE, WAVE!!! I wish I could provide a Narration service! But, no one's seems interested in hiring me for Voice overs, at least that I know of?!?! 😅 I could provide you with the full programme? Just don't know how to send it?!? Messenger Pigeons went out of fashion sadly, plus the large list paper would weigh the poor thing down!! 😂😂

[@haglasu1468]

What a sound with Blue Plume! Fantastic!

[@AnnofWales21]

⁠​⁠@@delvinrodriguez3341 hi Delvin, if there is a program to purchase I’ll quickly have it clutched in my hands😎 (I have “The King’s Guard” blasting in my ears as I write, love it😍) But seriously, it’s people like you and Vicky who have helped nurture my enjoyment of these superb videos and I thank you. 👍

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

​​@@AnnofWales21Hello Again Ann! I'm sure some Guardsmen will be selling Programmes, and some CDs as well. They tend to do that. The King's Guard sounded excellent! Very powerful! As always it's my pleasure to provide the information! My assistant Vicky is most helpful!!

[@ianorr7623]

Arnhem, one of the most haunting of all marches. With good reason.

[@colby25]

Wow! What a sight and what a sound. Here comes that tidal wave of trombones again with the skirl of the pipes bringing up the rear. Summer and massed bands are here again yeah! Noticed even the police are watching it as they go by as well. Jeez theres even more of them on the return journey. Brilliant stuff mr B. Thank you again.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you.

[@arlenechambers2419]

Wonderful sight and sounds well done to all our lads so proud of you all

[@weybikerlad7388]

Wow - top notch video Mr B - excellent and so clear. Congratulations and thank you for your efforts in producing and editing so well. Nice to see a different perspective as opposed to seeing them all in full ceremonial dress uniform. 👏👏👌

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@AnnofWales21]

Superb video! This has stoked my already heightened enthusiasm and anticipation for the coming weekend when I will actually be there in person to witness this for the first time! (Please trains don’t strike🫣) It’s very difficult to single out any part of this video as my favourite, each and every person and horse are so polished, they deserve admiration and applause. As do you MrB. Thank you, yet again, for sharing your endeavours 👏🏻

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Enjoy yourself, Ann!

Thank you.

[@mervwhitney7229]

Thank you. I enjoyed that. Great exhibition of Marching and Deportment from the massed bands during the first 25minutes under control of SDM Chambers. One Drum Horse was almost in time with the music with its front feet. Beautifully groomed animals. The five bands combined for the return is a real spectacle.All looking good in No1 tunics..

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you.

[@GMN360]

Absolutely superb MrB…I’m a little late to the parade! MrB, i hope your shoulder injury is healing well.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you, appreciate the comments. The shoulder is going to take a long time to heal properly but some of the movements getting quite a bit easier now thankfully.

[@ArmedForcesVideos7]

Nina here excellent loved the shire horses and you saw his majesty 👑

[@MrBaton74]

Hi, yes was a surprise, just heading back to the tube and they drove by. Hope you are doing well.

[@karensosinsky8487]

God bless the band on horseback!!! To be able to play their instruments while controlling the horses is kind blowing to me. I have great respect for them! Best of luck on the actual day of the celebration to all the troops! I hope it's a great success for all and everyone is well with no mishaps like fainting or horse meltdowns. 🇺🇸🙏💙🇬🇧

Mr.Baton74, thank you for putting in the effort to film this whole procedure. I enjoyed it 100%.

[@lynwragge5552]

I am really enjoying these bands. I love the drum horses. The way the band plays while riding is brilliant.

[@stupotingoole]

Made me chuckle seeing the Garrison Sgt Major marching in the bands ranks,good for you Sir…

[@avryllsixtus3429]

I heard he was retiring after the Coronation but it seems they cannot do without him.....as he was spotted in red tunics etc during the inspections a few days go...he is from the days of the 6' plus Guardsmen.....

[@jcr_jcr]

Really enjoying this year's round of parades for the Trooping. Excellent videoing Mr Baton. I hope your shoulder has healed. There seem to be more troops and bands that usual all looking smart and well rehearsed.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you.

[@Augustes1]

Bring raincoat!.. possibly

[@5714sqd]

The mounted bands were absolutely superb. How they can balance on the horse and play is beyond me. As a former serviceman and bandsman, I can only salute all of them.

Très belle vidéo, j'adore ce genre de parade.

[@DavidRichards-z2k]

I noticed that the horses horses were a little unruly until the music fired up & they really settled. Not sure whether the Coldstream Guards trumpet player, the one with the beard & had been on an all nighter as he was certainly in rag order, when he was not tripping, playing with his music sheets lowering his instrument he was only going through the motions to playing when he raised it to his mouth! I’ll give him the benefit of suffering the the after affects of a long & arduous parade!!

[@Englishrose4708]

I am still in wonder how they managed to march keep in time and play their instruments all at the same time, just wonderful 💯😊

[@marshallbowen8693]

Wish he would stay in one spot so we could see more than the first row of the band. He seems to be in a race with the front of the band.

[@Sir_Who]

Just wondering if you had any suggestions for spots to watch the major generals review, first time doing the trooping the colour stuff so any intel will help! oh and great video as always.

[@johanboor]

In any case, a place with enough space to move/walk and close enough, with a good overview. No places where you get stuck. And an opportunity to closely follow and record the entire event.

[@MrBaton74]

If you want to follow the bands etc. then you need to be on the park side as you will have issues crossing Marlborough Road on St James’s Palace side. If you want to just choose one spot I would suggest the corner of The Mall and Marlborough Road on St James’s side to get good views. Or my favourite was at the top of The Mall by the Duke of York’s statue, from there you can get the bands coming straight for you as they leave Horse Guards.

[@Sir_Who]

@@MrBaton74 Thank you very much!

[@Sir_Who]

@@johanboor Thank you!

[@Sir_Who]

@@MrBaton74 Oh one last thing, what time would you suggest arriving?

[@AndyBradfordMusician]

It sounds very good throughout this video; however , I hope that those who have forgotten remember to SHAVE for His Majesty on his Parade- this looks very bad & SCRUFFY!

[@lewissmith3896]

Apparently His Majesty has allowed it to go ahead. If I was Monarch, I would not allow it myself.

[@Englishrose4708]

That's why it's a rehearsal 😊

[@breathnach2040]

If Charles wants to wear a military uniform he should lead by example and have a proper military haircut!

[@julielambell5215]

Oh my goodness what a great sight to see and how on earth do you play an instrument while riding a horse 😮

[@MaryGraceHutchinson]

the best commentary started at 59.37 so cute.

[@dellx3048]

Am I wrong in saying the kettle drums on the horses smaller now

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

Hello, I don't think the overall width of the Drumhead has changed, the Drums Depth has slightly become shallower, from what I can see from an old picture of a Kettle Drum used in the 1990s. But, the Drums have become more simpler, no ornate engraving, or Cyphers. The Tensioning rods have also become much simpler. They also were not carrying the Drum Banners which is another factor that makes these Kettle Drums appear larger.

[@philhunter9158]

Everything is smaller!!!

[@mervwhitney7229]

I think you are correct. I remember them being a lot larger in the past

[@Phoenix8Rising]

​@@delvinrodriguez3341It's a rehearsal..

A much reduced Sovereign’s Escort, hopefully at full strength for the day itself?

[@geoffmitchell6515]

At 45.10 what’s the March anyone please

[@hughbeeson8854]

I think a beard is a great look - very masculine. At least it should be a personal decision, not a diktat from officers.

Thank you very much for this video, love to ‘stalk’ my son-in-law , on our way for this w/e to support.

[@wu_1116]

The march towards Horse Guards has a new format this year with the three bands marching together and the Guards having all three officers in front

[@cathyb46]

Wonder if it's to reduce amount of standing for the troops re poss fainting esp in last years heat on the day was anything to go by. This year at this rate might need umbrellas though.

[@Perseus7567]

@@cathyb46 I think this is the case too. They all arrive at the same time under this new format, so no one is standing still longer than anyone else, and all for less time too. Smart idea, and it looks interesting. Always nice to see what minor spin they put on it each year, every year there's some minute logistics detail different and it's always interesting to try and spot.

[@cathyb46]

@Perseus7567 Suppose we will have to wait for the day as usually the colour regiment trooping is always the last and I do love to see and hear the Irish Guards arriving, 2nd Irish Guards Reg I believe this year. I often watch the Micks March that they used for the quick march past a few years ago, jaunty lifts the mood 😀

[@johnjinfanti6833]

Fantastic video, especially for those who, for whatever reason couldn't get there..Be nice to see a bit more of the crowd, adds to the occasion.
