RED ARMY! what an insult.

[@Mike_EOD]

Royal red army? It's the British army...

Wow they play almost like the same songs from 2022 trooping the colour. This does give me memories.

Surprisingly unimaginative from that perspective, considering the options. The musical focus, or at least one of them, appears to be on commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion, with Arromanches and the Guards' Armoured Division as the two main quick marches for the second march past during the troop, and then with Arnhem slated for an airing on the parade from Horse Guards. Second Battalion IG, represented by No.9 Company, which is doing the troop this year, was heavily involved in the Normandy campaign. They took on an armoured role during WWII and served with the Guards' Armoured Division. Shortly after the Normandy landings, the 2nd battalion joined the Normandy campaign two miles east of Arromanches, part of the Gold Beach area assigned to the British for the D-Day invasion. The battalion was in the vanguard of the ground advance to Arhem, later that year, and in the Allied advances across the Rhine and in subsequent fighting until Germany's surrender in May 1945.

Thank you. I can never get too much of this music. Good to see the Pelicans at 10:30

Not liking the title, too much like the infamous soviet army title.

[@ruthjanes3551]

Perhaps it's referring to the red tunics rather than Russia!!

[@MSD88]

@@ruthjanes3551 The use of capitol letters is decisively offensive and a direct reference to the Red Army of Russia. It’s beyond rude and wrong! Please don’t play devil’s advocate about such matters.

[@ruthjanes3551]

Perhaps they're referring to the red tunics, rather than Russia, read the title carefully!!

[@TheCatBilbo]

It is, however 'Red Army' only has one meaning for most.

[@MSD88]

These aren’t Russian troops so don’t refer to them as Red Army anything as they’re anything but. How rude and insulting to refer to them as anything like that. 😡
