The British Military has a very special bond with the British public. They are not there to oppress, injure or judge. They are there to protect and reassure.

[@tituspullo9768]

That's because they opress, injure and judge people all over the world. Its exhausting work so when they come home they need a break

[@jezcolborne6329]

​@@pepperroni6252so why did they go to afghanistan for or anywhere else for that matter. Going back why did they kill so many africans indians even native americans. Im not encluding ww2 or 1 or the falklands. They have been in combat in many countrys just like america. Im not proud to be english but i respect what they do but why should i be proud british man after what happend in all those pointless wars. No wonder muslims detest our behavyer towords them when we have invaded there countrys its time to be a patriot of god as i already am and not a patriot who thinks england is our country so why these foraighners. I tell you why we have sll these guys because you english patriots of the far right dont understand that the english invaded thear countrys but wont exept it. We should start uniting with other faiths and coultures and not behaving like idiots and this is the very thing thease right wingers dont get. war is a machine of terror. Im not on the side of ultra radical terorist ether far right or pro islamists and that includes thase backword thinking street preechers. We musnt get blinkered by thease people. What we should do is stand up for peace respect and exeot that england is for everyone not just us white people EVERYONE

That was damn impressive, only caveat being, some had brown boots and some had sand colored boots on, and if they were in dress uniforms it would have looked even better...overall, an outstanding formation, pass and review, precision arms movements, band and march selection as well...something to be proud of...this coming from an Irishman too...))

Though I must admit how annoying it is when the crowd continually clap in time with the music. Applause as the troops appear is fine but why turn the music into some cheap performance in this way.

[@gordonsmith8899]

Many moons ago I did my infantry basic training with the Suffolk Regiment at Gibraltar Barracks, Bury St Edmunds, before being whisked off to do corps training. The local lads who were staying in the regiment were the salt of the earth. Well done the Royal Anglians.

[@gordonsmith8899]

@Anglus Patria Anglus Patria My apologies - I have only now re-visited this site. I'm assuming they have been demolished - they were a huge red brick complex that we were told had been built by Napoleonic prisoners of war. Gibraltar, of course, is one of the battle honours of the old Suffolk Regiment. They were within easy walking distance of Bury St E. town centre.

[@gordonsmith8899]

@traditional arts A 'little bit' was quite enough for me. Hacking foxholes into frozen water-logged bits of East Anglian farm land wasn't fun. "Try closer to the hedge, it should be softer there" suggested our resident bright spark. "Roots !!!" "What?" "There are loads of ***** roots!!!" "Oh .I suppose we'd better try back where we were."

[@ianfleming9475]

Very important for the troops returning from operations overseas to feel welcomed home by their friends, families and community. This is a great example of how it’s done right.

This is a very nice thing to do, when the soldiers returned.

[@SotonSam]

This makes me so sad! We need more of this! Instead we get soldiers being warned away from wearing uniform outside of base, just incase they get attacked, our soldiers being called terrorists, the Tory government cutting back funding and soldier numbers to the forces. We have less pride nowadays. Let's celebrate our Britishness and have our armed forces marching proudly in our streets!

34 years in Canadian Army and these guys struck me as being as good as I’ve ever seen. If the old adage “drill is the basis of all discipline” is true, these soldiers look fit for any operational task. The applause welcoming them home is good to see.

@@bombercommand7187 fair point. Just a little info for you, about 30 years ago (jeez is it that long ago 😱) I was in the process of becoming a British Army Officer. Before taking my RCB in November 1991, the Army sent me to Belize for three weeks in late August/ September with the Battalion sponsoring me. Just before I went out the “Options for Change” cuts to the armed forces ere announced. Each recruiting division for the infantry was to lose one battalion. The way King’s Division (the recruiting division for my Battalion) managed this was the Royal Irish Rangers merged with the Ulster Defence Regiment. While in Belize I started chatting to a Captain from the Rangers attached to my Battalion who was pissed off. Most of his Regiment were Irish Catholics from the Republic (including him!), merging with an almost exclusively Protestant unit was...interesting to say the least. By the way, I failed my RCB and never got to Sandhurst.
