[@FrithGarcia]

Thank you Military Bands Everywhere for posting this breathtaking video again. It means a great deal.❤

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

Thank you!! I’m glad you appreciate them so much 🫡

[@TomGardiner-g2i]

As an old Royal Marine the lads in the Corps band always gets me up for action.

[@mervwhitney7229]

Wonderful, thank you. I like the way the bands expand in width at the Mall, after leaving Horseguards, and later contract to 'line astern'. Well done all the musicians.

[@richardcleveland8549]

Nothing! NOTHING!! *N*O*T*H*I*N*G* beats a British military band . . . and to see the massed bands of the Royal Marines is a special treat!

[@nipper44]

[@TJMusicNerd]

Absolutely wonderful. The Royal Marines are the the only bandthat can march 20 across with perfect dressing! Great show DMaj Mace!

[@cal9064]

The massed bands of HM Royal Marines. Arguably, one of the finest military bands, in the world.

[@100horney]

[@michellewhyatt4438]

You are all brilliant you're all amazing you really are the best

[@mikeellis4838]

I love the happy days march thanks for sharing 👌

[@robyeboah1391]

Bravo!

[@chez7988]

Had the pleasure of being there last night, thanks for documenting it!

[@forbeswatson]

Did you have to pay to watch them or was it free

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

@@forbeswatson It was free to watch them march down Birdcage Walk to Horse Guards Parade and then up the Mall back to Wellington Barracks at the end of the parade (which is shown in this video), however the actual ceremony of Beating Retreat was a paid ticketed event which gave you a seat in the stands to watch it!

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

No problem at all, I am glad you can watch it back!

[@gandalfuno]

Great music, Superb marching and defile!

[@inesdaireaux9604]

Totalmente de acuerdo

[@Kenneth-p1b]

Second to none! Absolutely flawless..turnout, drill, musicianship..never bettered

[@MilitaryBandsSouthWestUK]

Happy days & Quality plus! Finally found the names, heard them on the way down birdcage on Thursday night! Amazing songs! And awesome display by the bands as per usual!

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

They are some great marches and very unusual to be heard these days. I was very pleased to hear the revival of them! Glad I could provide you with the names of the marches!

[@MilitaryBandsSouthWestUK]

@@MilitaryBandsEverywhere fully agree, the bands definetly made them sound superb as always though

[@garyhollywell2112]

They are just superior to any other and something for the Uk to be super proud of.

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Somethings we do get right .

[@Wolfie387]

Plod awkwardly parks Van on the Mall...again. Excellent drill and music by the Massed Bands of the Bootnecks..

[@GMN360]

I wonder if Mr Plod parked the van that way with a purpose!!

[@maryholder3795]

Stirling the very image of a military Marine band. One of the best in the world. I love the drummers when they do the beating of retreat. They have the precision of the movement and then the music. Fantastic. Thank you for filming of this.

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

No problem at all Mary, I am glad you enjoyed the video! The massed bands did a fantastic job!

[@jimtodd4283]

BEST IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A DOUBT.

[@GMN360]

I’m behind schedule…two weeks later, that was superb, thank you MBE 😊

[@stefanmaddock5516]

A world class performance if I do say do myself.

[@davidtuer5825]

There are still aspects of Great Britain of which we can be proud.

[@cpcattin]

@@davidtuer5825 There is a lot to be proud of when you are British ! Coming from the USA.

[@martinbootneck]

Hoofin'. Marching behind the 'Bandies' back in the day, was exhilarating and it made me feel honoured and proud, it also made you feel 10ft tall. Per Mare, Per Terram

[@FrithGarcia]

I would wish to walk alongside the best band in the world.🎉🎉Stupendous sound. Love the veritable sea of white against the trees!! Thank you so much Military Bands Everywhere.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JianzhongChen-bo3wk]

I like it because it gives me a feeling of freedom and honor.

[@fionagreenwood3231]

[@clivedytor2069]

When you march with the Band you feel like a superman. They are brilliant!

[@markescartin6613]

These guys could win a grammy just for all their spit and polish!

[@fionagreenwood3231]

I agree with you a million percent xx x

[@davideddy5877]

This beats the hell out of communist band music. Freedom is impossible to overcome. God bless the UK and god bless the King ! Respect and admiration from the USA ! Carry on !

[@lhsouthern1988]

What a drumline❤

[@giuseppegiuseppe2713]

Good times indeed.

[@brucesteele3052]

The finest.

Still listening now…. You’s probably don’t know my very close Pal…. Borehamwood!?! Obviously not…. As I were….😂💯❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧💯❤️👊😎

@ 4:30, I half expected Clint Eastwood to come riding in on his horse and a cigar hanging out of his mouth.

[@robertjwilliams3532]

Took less than 5 seconds for me to hit like!!!

[@garybrockwell2031]

But will you STAND??🧐💪 I KNOW SO BLESS BROTHER'S 💪🇬🇧🙏😇💯🤩😍⚖️🥇

[@martincampbell3024]

Best Military Band..IN THE WORLD..GO..MARINES...

[@maryholder3795]

14:22 if I was the police rider in front of the band I'd be very happy. I think the grey was moving in time to the music. 😊

[@markcasey1143]

As an Irish man,I have no great love for the English, not the English people they are fine, I'm against their governments. But I give total respect to the English people, they have something else,They have my total respect . They do everything well. Do not forget that these men are not just musicians, they are fighting soldiers, and good ones. Respect to them all.❤

[@rachelmiller3053]

Goosebumps moment 1.46

[@midnightteapot5633]

Well done plod , for parking your van foul of the march!

[@GMN360]

Absolute precision to watch how they straightened each row after they expanded the band…masterpiece.

[@ralphaverill2001]

At 14:10; even the horse is stepping in time!

[@margaretdoyle-e7p]

The royal marines are the best

[@martharutherford2078]

How cool is this???❤😅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@julianmoore8915]

not at all cool because it's American. have some respect and show the union jack or the cross of st George.

[@thijshagenbeek6554]

Ah, the Royal bootnecks on parade. All fairness to them, you do not get to be a Royal Marine without looking for excellence in every single detail. And these guys got that in spades. Greetings from a cloggie ;)

[@jpapillon47]

👌👌🥰💯👏👏💐💐💐

[@CjbrkBrooks]

Impressive. Almost as good as the OSU band and the USMC band. (Just kidding). Stayed up till 0300 watching this. Excellent, as always.

[@JoseCastro-np1he]

👍💪🇩🇴

[@shirleypugh4177]

If this doesn't make you proud of being British, then nothing will!

[@patrickbank]

ASTOUNDING

[@gwilymmorgan5115]

I don't know if the Royal Marines or the Gurkhas are the best soldiers in the wotld. I just hope they are always on the same side.

[@julianmoore8915]

wrong . the paras or the special boat service are. think before opening your stupid mouth.

[@WilliamCheng-u3h]

They ought to have EU marine bands and troops vs US MARINE March competition every four years. Like Olympic competition. It be great for troops morale.

[@MilitaryBandsEverywhere]

What a great idea! Would be very entertaining

[@fionagreenwood3231]

Question please 🙏 if anyone knows please thank you Why do some of HM ROYAL MARINES wear a red sash alongside their white ones please ? Thank you very much. Merry Christmas typing this 16/12/24 xxxx

Senior NCOs

[@fionagreenwood3231]

@@Kenneth-p1bthank you very very much. Merry Christmas Sir xxxxx

[@hythekent]

Can’t beat the Jolies

[@johnsmith-rs2vk]

Check out the Gurkahs marching down the Mall .

[@DougRutter]

No sailors, but plenty of musicians… I know they’ve all got weapons hidden in their instruments😛

[@exploringtheplanetsn]

12:04

[@stevencurran7656]

I just seen policeman and woman with their backs to the crowd they are not supposed to do that they are there tostop people running out plus as their backs are turned their safety also comes into question

[@julianmoore8915]

so what ? can't you think of any thing else to say. who cares ?.

[@AntonDiffering]

I think the standing joke in the UK Armed Forces is that the Brigade of Guards Band think they're the best, the Royal Marines Band KNOW they're the best. And who can match that precision machine of a drum corps?

[@charlieboy5329]

Silly Police can't park a van out of the way!

[@timmymccarthy4513]

Not bad they could straighten the lines a bit better a bit more practice 😂😂😂may be they should watch river dance dance 😮

[@tarqscam8491]

Alas the King is not his Mum. :(

[@jw4513]

Couldn't back up the police van 3 feet? Watch the same parade from 10 years earlier and there's no where near the same police presence.

[@roberttrott5259]

I wonder, I realize the police are there to do a job and an important one. But could we have them on these ceremonial occasions dress a little more formally like the bobbies of old who in their dress and demeanor looked the part of the "majesty of the law?" Frankly, more and more British bobbies look like overweight American sheriff's deputies.

[@chrispegman5462]

Very good, but not quite as good as the band's at Durham Miners Gala aka The Big Meeting 😀

[@MrBobNeff]

SO WHJAT

[@ttli8630]

最失敗的是軍人高度不一。

[@phillipmcmullen316]

Suddenly, the band is quit

[@EmersonBassinello]

Muito bonito, só não gostei do pessoal da banda que estava usando peles de animais, sou vegetariano por dó, pena, do que sofrem os inocentes animais, nos tristes m4t4d0ur0s ( slaughterhouses ). Um grande abraço do Brasil.

[@peckelhaze6934]

They are not animal skin but a replica.

[@terrywiseman]

Do my eyes deceive me? Are HM's Royal Marines Massed Bands getting better...and better and.......

[@MrTracker614]

I tend to agree, buddy. This is fantastic.

[@igorkashevarov6887]

Why police protect Royal Marines March?
