[@delvinrodriguez3341]

@vickyRoyalHistory Hahahahaha! This has made me Cackle with laughter! You shall always win in that battle Vicky, and no I don't mean it in a rude sort of way 😊. Just pulling your leg! Quite fun I must say! Although I wouldn't want to upset you! YES, well done Vicky! That's him Principal Trombonist D. Lockwood! The Man with the Lungs of Steel lol.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you, yet again, and still more to come, so you and Vicky can still fight it out for the longest comment. 🤣🤣

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

@vickyRoyalHistory Haha Vicky, well done! He certainly does. Yes, the Tubas sound similar. But, it's hard to miss the power of a Bass Trombone. Specially when it's played by a Man like D. Lockwood lol.

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

@@MrBaton74 You're most welcome! It's my pleasure! I think I'll throw the white flag out on this one! Lol. No point of fighting a battle that's already lost 😂 🤣.

[@MrBaton74]

@vickyRoyalHistoryHaHa Vicky, just keep this between the two of us, but there may be a video out later tonight that may stump him a bit. I know it’s stumped me 😂😂

[@johnnyc3298]

I love your footage of the Lord Mayor's Show it's great and you beat the BBC hands down, great music in motion no nattering or commentary just great music from many of our military branches, Good on them much love & Respect to them all and to you for all your time and effort 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@MrBaton74]

Appreciate it, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

FYI, if anyone is interested. The 4 soldiers riding behind the Life Guards are US Army 1st Cavalry Division soldiers, recognizable by the large yellow patch on their left shoulder and cowboy hats. They are visible early in the video but also at the end at 1:08:46.

[@delvinrodriguez3341]

Nancy you've beaten me to it! 😄 It's absolutely wonderful to see our Cavalry taking part in this parade!

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

@vickyRoyalHistory Hi Vicky! You're right, I didn't even think about that. I grew up with and loved F Troop. They were hilarious.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Thanks, Nancy. Nice to know some of our friends in the USA got to participate

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

​@@charlottecunningham2141There are also 2 guys in Combat Camera taking pictures between 2:00 and 5:00, I recognize the camouflage pattern and black berets.

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you for the additional info, appreciate it.

[@Dan-tf1zq]

I love a parade and you folks really know to do it right! All those beautiful horses and the mounted band with the drum horses. I wish they had played the coberger march.

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

Thanks for recording and sharing. You must have had a hell of a day bouncing around London to catch as much of this as you did. Hope you had an excellent meal and a great night's sleep after all this work.

[@MrBaton74]

Saturday was the longest day, my phone said I had done 45,500 steps, no wonder my feet hurt that night. 😂

[@MrBaton74]

@vickyRoyalHistorywas a bit slack on the Sunday, only managed 27,000 😭😭

[@militarybandsuk]

Brilliant video as ever Mr B! 👏

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you 👍

[@Selamatania]

Splendid performance and recording as always! I was wondering if you catch the Lord Mayor's show after I watch the rememberance video and it immediately showed up in my reccomended video feed!

[@MrBaton74]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[@patriciabailey1937]

I hope the horses are fitted with ear defenders!

[@johnburns2458]

out here in Canada it would nice to know the Different band regiments taking part by the colours on their head gear please Green is the only one that I am certain of-- Thanks

[@MojoModdingYoutube]

is it me or do the maine pith helmets keep changing last time i saw one it was fat and did not fitting on a marines head

[@darren253]

Why does Britain need so many bands?. Silly in time of declining manpower. need more infantry than bands.

[@Reggie_91]

The regular army bands has significantly rejuiced in recent year (unfortunitly) from 69 pre-1993 to only 14 at its last review/merger in 2019

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

To reemphasize Vicky Royal History's point, every last member of those bands have other duties besides band members. There are RAF flyers, airplane mechanics and ground crew. There are British Army Infantry, Cavalry all mechanized. RM Navy, RM Marines, etc. Their jobs range across all areas within the services, band is actually their secondary job.

[@bretty453]

​@@NancyCampbell-rk9rm Band is their main job for all these military bands except the pipes are drums who are infanteers. Mainly Royal Corps of Army Music, RAF Music or RM Band Service professional musicians. Yeomanry band are Army Reserve.
