Royal Marines granted The Freedom Of Glasgow

[@bencarter8362]

Royal Marines Bands.....Greatest in the world......in every respect the BEST......no others even come remotely close....God bless them...Thanks for making me feel so proud...it feels good.

[@emstirling-is4nu]

Lovelyto see the old "haunts" of Glasgow...lots of change but still recognize a lot. Many memories of shopping and going to the dances they had then at the Tech. Its too bad she did not stop an speak to some of the men....I'm sure it would have made their day! Well done lads and band members - we don't see them that often.!

[@kevinking8170]

The Royal Band is the Portsmouth band. They were given that title by the Queen after the Royal Yacht was decommissioned. The Portsmouth band provided bandsmen for the Royal Yacht. They wear flashes on their right shoulder saying Royal Band with a crown above.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Ah thanks for that insight!

[@user-ir7os6wh1w]

Scotland band actually.

[@kevinking8170]

@@user-ir7os6wh1w Scotland yes but with members of the royal band. You would have to ask the bandmaster why.

[@user-ir7os6wh1w]

@@kevinking8170 Part of the Royal Band was in Scotland for the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo and they were filling the gaps for this occasion. Depending on each band's need, bandies and buglers often get transferred to other bands during their career. For portsmouth bandies they will keep their uniform with the flash until they get issued a new one without the flash. I‘m currently with Plymouth band but started with portsmouth band and had to use that uniform for two weeks before I got new ones

very high sound quality - Thanks - the 'acoustic' treatments of the buildings lining the route help to channel the sound

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Glasgow City Centre is a great venue!

[@woodrowelmore2521]

Colonel Bogey is a great march and the Marines make it even better

Fantastic video Jim

[@DrumsTheWord]

Superb playing. I'm sure it made all feel very proud.

[@margaretnichols7882]

Did you focus on the camo marine at 40.08, etc., as an example of a sharp marching style? That's close to where I think you left your shadow on the pavement. And, thanks for responding.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Nae probs and thanks for taking such a keen interest. If u want to see my shadow check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3-ydJSaZqaBrNk

[@johnsullivan1603]

What are the marines in camo there for? Always love the amazing drill and music.

[@bazilcat382]

probably support; if someone faints, a helmet falls off, etc. they can intervene

[@JammyDodger45]

They're there to 👊🏻 any civilians who won't get out of the way or cause a fuss.

[@andymetternich7453]

What are the first two marches in the video

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Sorry .. love them but .. I dont know!

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Is the first saracen?

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Glorious Victory?

[@andymetternich7453]

Jim Ramsay that's fine. Makes the two of us 😂

[@callumblair7773]

First is Washington Greys, then Mcalpine Drum Solo, then Wellington March

[@margaretnichols7882]

How could I have missed that -- guess I was more focused on the drum major's "Get out of the way". Regarding the other marching camo marine, there's a Civil War story of a doting mother watching her son march back home, and exclaiming, "They're all out of step except Johnny."

[@JimRamsayJWR]

LOL! That was hilarious, the big boom of the drum major "GET OUT THE WAY!" and the photographer taking fright and fleeing

[@jackmiller9459]

Can anyone tell me the name of the march which starts at 15:03?

[@DSteve505]

Mountbatten

[@martytrain]

Anyone know the name of the drum solo,s at 7: 45 , 11:15 and 35:42?

[@supernutkin5122]

The Drum Solo at 11.15 is called "Portsmouth No.1" .... it's been around for the last 70 years, believe it or not. ..... Sorry, don't know the other two. They are much "younger" ..... SuperNutkin

Can anyone tell me why the stop playing when walking through / past the church? Is it to do with tradition or something else thanks

They didn't want to disturb the Catholic priest whilst he was abusing the choir boys.

Colonel Bogey.

[@lewiscolebrooke4069]

Thanks

[@supernutkin5122]

Yep, "Colonel Bogey" arranged and composed by Major Ricketts, formerly of the Royal Marines Plymouth Group Band. .....otherwise known as Kenneth J.Alford..... he was the British answer to the USA's John Philip Sousa ...... SuperNutkin

[@kevinking8170]

I counted at least five members of the Royal Band within the band.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

What exactly is "The Royal Band"?

[@christophertrento8896]

What is the song played at 1512

[@mayhem380]

"Under the White Ensign" composed by Lt Col. Sir Vivian Dunn.

[@margaretnichols7882]

I've been trying to figure out how you filmed this significant event. Did you have some kind of rolling platform, and if so, how did you maneuver it so deftly through the mass of people? There are panoramic shots, close-ups, over the head shots of both band, marines with rifles and crowds, and all very smooth, with no evidence of the gait of the cameraman. I think you left a footprint about 40.00-41.00, which kind of shows the shadow of a camera on an elevator stick. I've never been inside Glasgow, but you've captured an engaging portrait of an exciting city, but of course none of this would ever have happened except for the enduring record of HM Royal Marines.

[@JimRamsayJWR]

Margaret Nichols my secret weapon is my monopod. gives me the ability to get above crowd's and gets the great elevation shots

[@pollyannapositive9192]

Those 2 in red sweaters are in the parade especially in for the royal marine band.

[@YARROWS9]

The Start of this is at Strathclyde Police HQ.

[@peterwhitaker4038]

pity that all these and other vids are spoiled by the lower left hand box on the screen

[@garryballantyne6994]

The guard officer messed up big time!!! Before giving the command for the general salute he should have ordered the guard to shoulder arms after fixing bayonets. Because he gave the command for the general salute before the lads where in the slop arms position no one knows what the fuck to do, some slop arms, some slop arms then do general salute, some don’t move, some go from shoulder arms straight into general. A total mess!!! Officer should feel terrible and probably did, it’s hard work and a lot of pressure to remember what you’re supposed to do and do it without facing the group.

[@charliekilo8944]

Surprising that there isn't a movement for a salute from shoulder arms
