I love everything about this: the uniforms, the precision, the music, the pony, the queen, all of it. It's all just phenomenal. But I have to say that the skit with Tim Conway and Harvey Kormann always comes to mind now whenever I hear the man off-screen barking the orders.

[@TyroneBeiron]

At 11:05 the 'brawl darling' (scottish slang for hunk) leading the regiment is Major Jonathan Thompson of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland and he does have a fan club apparently. He is now the new equerry of Charles III.

It says alot about the Queen that Balmoral is one of her favourite homes.....away form all the hussle and bussle close to nature and for spending time with the family....the Shetland pony is special to Scotland and maybe a mascot for some regiment.....Il don't know what the pagentry means but it's probably traditional and a measure of respect shown to the Queen on her arrival

The Highlanders history is a long one. But help me out. The Drum Majors Battle Honor sash looks like the Gordon Highlanders as well as his Sporran. The pipers tunics look like the 42nd.
