Could we please all just do this Decade again. I miss the 80's so much.

[@reuterromain1054]

They will never come back! What`s over is over.

Its number 2 company Welsh Guards,I know because I was in the front rank.

[@sirvincent7263]

Mr. Davies: The Welsh Guards do your great country proud. When it comes to pomp and ceremony, none can compare to the British. I am grateful the we here in the US have such a superb ally as Great Britain and it is my prayer that our alliance remains strong in these volatile times in which we live. It would be an honor to meet you, sir, though I am apprehensive about traveling to Great Britain given the current immigration issues that plague your country. But should I be fortunate to ever enjoy the privilege of such an introduction, it would be an honor. The steaks are on me, mate!

[@patriot4786]

Lesley Davies wow, you were great in that troop. Btw which one were you?

[@askredditquestions967]

Impeccable drill my man

[@aaa111912]

the standard of the drill seems to have slipped a bit since this.

[@lesleydavies2988]

Sir Vincent, thank you for your comments, our countries have and always will be close allies. It was an honour to be on the guard of honour for your president and something I will always remember, times change but the drill seems a lot quicker now which in my opinion does not look as good. If you ever come to the UK come to Wales and it will be a pleasure to meet you.

[@andrewbazeley7274]

He was the best president the yanks ever had and a true friend to the uk, god bless him 🙏😉👍

I am very impressed with the personality of the late President Ronald Reagan

[@lindaeasley5606]

The world was a far better place in the 1980s than it is now

[@haryburtoiu5111]

It was a time when the men were men, when the USA had a brave and clever president who crushed the bolcheviks' evil empire and when nobody dared to destroy the statues of Columb or Teddy Roosevelt. It was a time when the moral and human values existed. Today all are memories. R.I.P. MISTER PRESIDENT.

[@ifarded4986]

What's better than that, guys being dudes...

[@michaelpoirier2382]

[@paulhansen7667]

Cool listening to the British playing the Star Spangled Banner! They have more respect for our country then than we do now. President Reagan was the best of my lifetime.

[@DylanSargesson]

You should listen to when the Queen ordered for the Star Spangled Banner to be played outside of Buckingham Palace after 9/11 - very emotive

How sadly true.

08:10 I've heard several symphony orchestras play Te deum, but I think the military band's performance in this video is the best. May infinite glory and blessings be upon the Royal guards for their faithfulness to their duty!

[@westpointsnell4167]

Just makes my hair stand to hear our national anthem play in Britain

[@tommyhunter1817]

Me too. Especially considering it was written while the Royal Navy was shelling an American fort. We come a long way.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

It was even more stirring when Her Majesty ordered our Star Spangled Banner played at the changing of the guard on the day of 9/11 !

Pedo anthem

6 years before this tehse men were beating 10 bales of shit out of the Argies 8,000 miles away. these are combat soldiers who just happen to be the best seremonial guards as well. And as an ex crab we never tick tocked. Occasional Bear Walk maybe ...

So disgusting seeing people performing like they are machines. Tradition is one description for this nonsense. Out of touch is another.

[@Pliam961]

Well, an Army, for it to be effective, has to act as a machine to do what it does. This is normal diplomatic protocol. Is it out of touch, maybe. Is it still a part of a nation's heritage. Yes, and it should be protected at all costs. Go spout your silly smarmy silly half baked ideas somewhere else. If you don't like, don't watch. Quite elementary.

[@dogmannz]

Prancing about in time to music can hardly be called part of an armies function. As for saying because something is old and you've had it for a while it should be protected at all costs . . . . . .
