Glad to see our british comrades playing this march 👍😃 greetings from good old Germany 🙋🙋🌹

[@aresmusic4630]

the world need more parades like this one

[@alanthehirsch]

Great the play a song from my hometown: Rudolstadt (where the Hedecksburg is) I love it!

From sleepy Rudolstadt that nearly missed the abdication of its last prince to the heart of London, where's a monarch reigns that has its roots right next door to Rudolstadt, in the equally sleepy town of Saalfeld.. ;) With greetings from Saalfeld!

[@sitrepSNAFU]

The regimental march of the Royal Military Police.

[@krazytroutcatcher]

@@sitrepSNAFU Yes, it’s a German marching tune too.

[@Invictus888]

@@krazytroutcatcher It is a German March. Called "Hoch Heidecksburg". It is NOT a British tune.

[@krazytroutcatcher]

@@Invictus888 Yes, that is what I should have said, my comment was incorrect. Thank you.

[@Invictus888]

@@krazytroutcatcher You're most welcome. Be well.

[@hartmutkuster6967]

Very great performance, I love it. Composer- the German officer Rudolf Herzer, he died in WW 1 on the Russian front. The English Title- the watchtower/ in German “Hoch Heidecksburg- Vivat Heidecksburg”. The barraks of Herzers regiment where at Rudolstadt in Germany. The famous castle “Heidecksburg” is the landmark of the city of Rudolstadt. Rudolstadt in the German Federal State Thuringia is worth a visit. Sorry- my English is really not the best.

Thanks for the info! I love this march, so happy and vibrant! I'm a retired USAF Msgt and spent 7 and 1/2 fantastic years serving at Tempelhof Zentral Flughaven in Berlin and at Wiesbaden. I rode my Peugeot 10 speed from Passau to Wien along the Donau. I'm 73 and cover at least 5 miles a day on foot jogging and walking and lift light weights and do calisthenics ( I've had no operations and take no medicine.). I also rode up and down the Rhine from Mainz to Koblenz observing all the beautiful castles and even saw Frankenstein's outside of Darmstadt! (also from Munchen to Neuschwanstein). I love Deutschland and most of the marches ! I pray the German's never loose their culture, events like Chriskindl Markts , Corpus Christi processions and Oktoberfest celebrations!

[@speedyneutrino1729]

I love watching these guys on parade....EXCELLENT !! BRAVO from the USA.

[@raiden2k6]

This is a great german march!

[@peugeotandme]

First time I have seen a British Military Band playing the Royal Military Police Corps March on video, I left the Corps in 1982, but still think about life then from time to time.

[@swunt10]

it's the Hoch Heidecksburg march. stop calling it names..

[@coldstreamer6252]

It's actually a german march..

[@thebiggeezer1471]

Marched to it once in eight years - Exemplo Ducemus!

[@sierrakilo857]

Absolut fantastische Version! Großartig :-)

[@JLDixon]

The regimental march of the Royal Military Police. After a 20 year career I still think its one of the best. A brilliant bit of German composing, adopted for a fine Corps

[@MrWhite-rp6wd]

Is an German March.... Hoch Heidecksburg. the march was probably adopted because the royal family is from Germany Sachsen Coburg Gotha

[@JLDixon]

@@MrWhite-rp6wd I had an album many years ago of German music and knew it by the original title before knowing it had been adopted in the British Army. I was surprised when I joined the Royal Military Police that their march was one of my favourite pieces of music.

[@pablobreitner8626]

Hard to play this marching, well done 👏👏👏

[@EngPheniks]

You know it's a good when the Brits appreciate and play a German march.

[@Roger_Stenning]

Down voted by people who got themselves in trouble with the Redcaps, obviously ;-)

[@1276epr]

very fine performance

[@pocketdynamo87]

Oh cool, I didn't know you were playing german marches over there, too!

[@coldstreamer6252]

The main german ones they play are these (in english): "The Watchtower", "Children of the Regiment", "Prussia's Glory", and "King Fred", in german I believe they are called, Hoch Heidecksburg, Regimentskinder Marsch, Op.169, Prussens Gloria, and Kaiser Frederick

[@johncherry5260]

A wonder march, my favourite
