Sweden's Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Stockholm Palace in 4k

[@northbreeze0111]

Awesome, cheers from Stockholm and thanks for filming it! It really is cool to watch. Playing an instrument while managing a horse is a skill in itself.

[@marymyrer1983]

It was a splendid performance but I do feel sorry for the horses in the mounted band having that music blaring in their ears. 😢

[@343kaka]

@@marymyrer1983They are trained to be used to it, it’s not dangerous for them.

[@luvutubing]

Well done. Their drill is very different than British Commonwealth troops. I enjoyed it.

[@dbyers3897]

@@Stamsite111 No, Prussia was far from the only kingdom to wear such uniforms or goose step. They were common to many militaries at one time & a few still exist. The one-time great Swedish Empire predates the rise of Brandenburg, later called Prussia. And later still known as the German Empire under William I.

The four gray sky horses that the trumpeters ride are of the Czech breed AltKladruber from the town of Kladruber in the Czech Republic. The ponies are of the British Shire breed and the other horses are Swedish warm blood.

[@Menghua-wc6dk]

I like the operatic march they play on repeat for all the time when leading away the horses...it is very much Händel without actually being Händel.

Probably a lack of conscripts. When i did this in 2005 there were 4 platoons and every one of them was arranged by height.

For everyone s safety they prioritize being able to control the horses before same height. And women are more frequently being skilled horseback riders than men and women are fewer as conscripts.

[@fredlind8270]

I know some people wonder so yes, the royal horse guard are absolutely consisting of almost all women today. I did my conscription service in the Life Guard (Infantry) and of the few girls in our company literally everyone applied for the horse squad afterwards and it was only them and the legit losers who were accepted. Don't get me completely wrong, they definitely do a great job in their ceremonial job and I honestly do respect them for it, but there was a reason they were put on ceremonial duty rather than combat duty.

Sorry to tell you this changing of the Swedish Guards remind me strongly of the time 1930-1945 the helmets,boots and walking of the Kaiser Wilhelm and NAZI times walking thru our streets during the occupation, the movements and strict order everything to destroy and murder what was their liking. Sweden in the last days of the war came by planes throwing boxes full of ready to eat bread after the rodents we ate to end this as positive.

[@radradishradiator]

Are you high? Wilhelm was not monarch after 1918, and he wasn't a nazi. The Pickelhaube helmet is likewise Prussian, and not a nazi german thing...

[@asc3184]

Their military drill looks like a parody of old prussian drill! Their mounted band albeit very in tune, looks very rigid. All is at a walk. Not even a trot. The music has this prussian feel and yet it registers this teutonic bourgeois "hum-pa-pa". It feels they move at a walk so they don't risk falling off . Feels more like a 19th century bourgeois take of how a mounted military band should be like on a sunday.

[@Stamsite111]

They performed better before and more prussian in this video from 2011: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6CUcoV5pduYmKM

[@luigicartei5096]

Formazione militare ridicola !!! Dove hanno preso quei soldati ?? Ci sono altezze e corporature diversissime Uomini molto alti e uomini bassi , Donne alte e donne basse ed anche una grassa. In una cerimonia di cambio della guardia a palazzo per decenza sarebbe opportuna una maggiore uniformità delle altezze. Le uniformi sono belle ma questi buffi soldati sembrano pupazzi raccattati come capita . Se i vostri veri soldati somigliano a questi farete una brutta fine nella guerra mondiale che spero avvenga presto . Era meglio per voi se rimanevate neutrali .

[@MisterLindqvist]

You mock the world's oldest military regiment, the Swedish Life Guard, which was founded 500 years ago by the king of kings, Gustav Vasa. Long before Italy became Italy. Please respect them or don't post.

[@Cloud-dq1mr]

"It was better for you if you remain neutral" Är det vad du tycker på riktigt, din smutsiga italienare? På samma sätt som du råder oss så vore det bättre för ditt land om Italien var neutralt. Framförallt i WWII, så snabbt som ni gav upp och övergav tyskarna. Hela världen såg Italien kapitulera och svika sina allierade medan Tyskarna krigade vidare, Italien är nu känt för att ge upp och kapitulera. Ridicola!!
