The guards have to trim those hats because they do grow on a regular basis!

Es erfreut mich immer sehr die Guards zu sehen, beste Tradition dir es so bei uns leider nicht mehr gibt. Hochachtung für die Männer und Frauen, die sich mit oft Nervenden Touristen ohne Anstand ärgetn müssen. Sie haben meine Hochachtung wie den Anstand unter Brüdern.

[@treborsf]

I'm curious about how they are making their relative position adjustments, when they turn their heads and shuffle their feet, what measure, in their line of sight is used to correct their position? It seems akin to a single row of soldiers touching the shoulder of the next to make an orderly line, but more complex.

[@harrycday6528]

What a load of bull.Seems an awful lots of movements done in separate squads.?

[@jspee1965]

It's also done silently without a command given.

[@Angel_423]

It's the same as touching the shoulder except you imagine the arms distance, very easy. The rest is moving backwards and forwards to be in line

[@Oldnoitall]

Yeah they calld me and was waiting to do all this to make a video and said well I reckon go ahead with it just one time!

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Coldstream Guards.

This is a minute inspection of their clothes! Pretty nerve racking for the soldiers.

Very complicated and all to do presumably with ancient tradition? Utterly amazing the enormous amount of tradition Britain has kept to down the centuries. None of us know what it means but it is obviously very important.

[@occashares]

As I watched this I kept thinking "leave the zoom alone"

[@jspee1965]

When were beards permitted in the Brigade of Guards? It's like being transported back to the heady days of the Crimean War.

[@SusanNorton-lr6iq]

Yes I agree wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍👍 but what is it about

[@cornishmade100]

When did they lower the height restriction. They used to have to be 6ft tall

[@MegaWillieo]

Guard Mount

[@janicesmyth1713]

I would have thought it was obvious what was going on , they are being inspected for smartness.

[@robertwilkins8357]

Are these formations planed on paper first?

[@katherinevansteenberg8988]

Moring is there a web page i could go to. To learn the difference in the feathers on their hats. I would like to know each regerment. Thank you glad you seen this.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

Try something along the lines of, “British army guards.” You should find information about the plumes and uniforms. Each regiment has their own spacing of buttons on their tunics and insignia on their collars and shoulders

[@katherinevansteenberg8988]

@@charlottecunningham2141 thank you have a nice day

[@timcubison9832]

In order of seniority. Grenadier Guards white plume buttons regularly spaced, Coldstream red plume buttons on pairs garter star badge, Scots Guards no plume, buttons in threes thistle badge, Irish Guards St Patrick blue plume, buttons in fours, three leaf clover badge, Welsh Guards white,green,white plume buttons in fives leak badge. Hope this helps

I still think that allowing them to grow beards is a bad idea, it just doesn't look right.

[@springsummerwinterorfall]

Let’s go girls

[@jerryupp4984]

Why are the guards taking the small shuffle type steps for?

[@maybarnard1088]

To get their position in the line up perfect.

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

Immensely admirable, but in the time it took to watch this, these chaps could have cleared the southern coastline from the invading scourges. Civilian matter? Ya think?

[@dennisk5818]

They must have a lot of bear in England, to make all of those bear skin hats.

[@maybarnard1088]

The hats are made out of bearskins imported from Canada where bears are culled to keep numbers down. Apparently it takes one skin per hat.

[@SusanNorton-lr6iq]

I'd like to know to

[@Chris17198]

Can someone explain to me what is so super rare about this please ??? … seems very much a usual pre guard inspection to me am I missing something??

[@bethcox6940]

I am confused about this as well,???

[@charlottecunningham2141]

I’m guessing our videographer rarely catches inspections here or is talking about the household cavalry band being at Wellington barracks.

[@yesyesoyes72]

He always does this, he runs this channel but knows nothing about the Guards

You are correct, there is nothing out of the ordinary​@@bethcox6940

[@janenewley1014]

Am I wrong? Are guards getting shorter?!

[@raetay5755]

Younger

[@maybarnard1088]

There are more women nowadays and they are generally shorter and younger looking than the men.

[@JAG119]

What does the stomping on the ground mean?

[@Chris17198]

It’s just a simple drill move … no particular reason for it … they stamp their feet to symbolise they are standing to attention …

[@dellx3048]

It emphasizes completion of a movement

[@timcubison9832]

It also helps with the timing of the drill movements as everybody on parade can hear exactly were they are

[@stevehutchinson5466]

This is just simply a Kings Guard with the Coldstream Guards accompanied by the Household Cavalry Regimental Band

[@stevehutchinson5466]

Don’t forget, inclusion in this day and age really does mean everyone. All these Bandsmen are basically Civilians in uniform, they do four weeks of basic training then they go to Kneeler Hall, the Royal Army amSchool of Music beside the rugby stadium at Twickenham. The Director of music could have come from any Regiment basically it all really depends who is good enough at the time. There used to be a height restriction on joining the Guards, you had to be at least 5’ 9”. But then that was deemed unfair, so the height restriction was lifted.

[@lucieleimbach]

The foot guard was spot on with its precision drill. But the military band was out of phase. My father marched with TBDBITL. My high school was directed by The Ohio State graduates. They were all sticklers for not being out of phase. I know you put in a lot of practice. This was not meant to be a put down. Just be there done that. I’m short and it happens.

[@martibrown2993]

The band seems so out of energy compared to guards and not in sync as the guards.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Nice video. Not impressed with the beards on some of the men. Looks messy.

[@Sulerwog]

Is their a rare sighting? I was shocked..
