I thought that with a line that long there would be a kind of wave going down the line, but the front and back seemed to be exactly the same time.

[@madgeordie4469]

They are Royal Marines. Anything and everything they do, they do well.

[@rd08242]

Semper Fi gentlemen, from a U.S. Marine to the Royal Marines, you guys great war fighters.

[@alisonjanegibbons8708]

Welcome home one and all. Thank you for your service. RIP those fallen in battle. X

[@mugshot749]

I'm a veteran of 42 Commando, these young men are "the cream of the cream" and some of the World's best fighting men.

[@chrisholland7367]

Can't argue with that. Proud to have them in Plymouth. Per Mare Per Terram 👍🇬🇧

[@alfjones9081]

All the best from a ex see you at the citadel

[@mugshot749]

@@alfjones9081 Hi Alf, it's a lifetime ago since I saw the Citadel , or indeed have been to Plymouth , I was in 42 Commando at Bickleigh Barracks, and the Citadel was The H.Q. of 29 Commando Regiment R.A. I live way up North and I doubt if I will ever go there again, but best wishes to you.

[@Canadianeh100]

God bless all our troops. Brits, Canucks, Yanks. Aussies, Kiwis, et al.

[@Salvus967]

Wow, very good drill! All in step and so damn sharp! What a proud bunch of troops! From Canada, I salute you brave soldiers.. Carrying on a long tradition for the Proud British military. In the War of 1812, many redcoats from Britain died fighting for the freedom of Canada, which did not exists at the time... If not for these brave British soldiers, Canada might have been another United State. The Native American warriors under Tecumseh also did thier part. To both parties, I thankyou!

[@JJDea7h]

Agreed :) United now, and hopefully, United forever more.

[@blackops070771]

RESPECT FROM GREECE. A MAK, AMPHIBIOUS COMMANDO BATTALION.

[@MrFortytwa]

Probably the best Military Band of Musicians in The World. God Bless The Royal Marines.

[@nigelstainforth960]

What do you mean probably…??

[@MrHeizer42]

Also thank you for being such good allies i will always rember plymouth as i was there in my navy time... ( a lot of good partys in the walkabout) best wishes to you from germany

[@vintagebrew1057]

They join up young, wet behind the ears and 5.2 tall. Give it a year and the are over 6ft and strapping! I dont know what they put in their porridge but it sure does the job! Ive seen it with my own mince pies. Didnt they look great? They are so smart and in step. Well trained. Makes me proud.

[@TheChuck624]

Awesome. I'm so glad to have allies like this. Thanks for being on our side.

[@smiff4748]

I second cogidubnus1953 comments lads. You keep us all safe and I along with a multitude of others thank you for that. As an old soldier I for one am very proud of you. God bless you all.

[@kaakmarius2528]

[@VaeVictisXIII]

i hear you as both Scottish and English i see my self as a British, and we should all be proud of our united nations and the ideals we stand for.

[@LMAO374]

My son toured Afghanistan in 2013 with 8/9 RAR, due to the government not wanting to upset the Muslims ( then a labour gov ) their march in parade was cancelled and a very very ordinary march in at Enoggera barracks was substituted. I hope for the sake of future generations you will never allow it to happen there.

[@maxrawnsley1401]

Political cowardice is destroying us

[@freedomloverusa3030]

Anthony Egan you son is a hero. God bless you and your familiy, greetings from America.

[@TheFingerine]

aye. i fuckn agree. i think if i was in that situation there wouldnt be a whole lot of things i'd rather hear than a steady drum beat getting closer and bagpipes. Sons of the hounds, come here and get flesh!!

[@theatomicclap5328]

Anthony Egan I'm sorry that happened man that's b.s. Much love and respect from mass.usa!

[@chrisholland7367]

Anthony Egan Thats very unfortunate .The royal marines are well supported here in Plymouth as its their (spiritual) home and has been for 250 years along with the Navy.

[@forsythbill1]

I am sitting waiting for the new year of 2012 planning a nice family get together for new years day not worrying about secret police turning up at the door not frightened,spending too much money saying what ever the hell I choose all because of the bravery and courage of people like those in the video .When next you pass a war memorial remember what life could have been like if not for those willing to defend the right they do not fight for glory but for liberty and I for one am grateful.

[@grahamgh9173]

spectacular sight, our lads back from defending our country, brilliant.

[@nicholascatino2182]

Wecome home brothers and Semper Fi. N.Catino USMC 1973-77.

[@cjthedj9999]

I remember this, me and my brothers marching back such a happy time

[@hafeez449]

BRAVO BRITISH TROOPS WELCOME HOME. PROUD OF YOU GUYS. THE BEST OF BRITISH LUCK. 🤞

[@clerickolter]

As an American but they look some seriously dangerous fighting men, I would not want to be on the side they are pointing weapons at. And they look very nice in their uniforms.

[@alanburke6871]

was in 42 cdo from 1999 - 2003 respect the lads

[@erj573]

I don't feel the need to nor will I defend myself on my comments. They were in response to a sniveling, cowardly comment about our soldiers and I won't tolerate that garbage. America's soldiers over the centuries have shown some of the finest displays of bravery ever, and often for people and in countries not their own. The politics of America's conflicts aside, her soldier's heroism is unquestioned. Bottom line is - I didn't come watch this video to insult your fighting men, DON'T INSULT OURS.

[@JH-ck1nr]

Well said and totally true. Bravery knows no country or politics, it is an individual thing and to stand side by side with your mates. All are heroes.

[@philipnorris6542]

I don't know who it was made the comment about the American soldiers, but I stand with you wholeheartedly in your condemnation; I am British, and our two beautiful lands stand side by side---may they always do so.

[@lauraosborne3646]

Plymouth! My home city

[@patriot4786]

Royal marines fierce discipline.. not a single man out of step 👍👍👍

[@wonjat5]

Great Soldiers, they deserve better than the comments of the snivelling lefties who would run a mile if they heard a shot fired - well done 42!!

[@richiecheval9528]

Respect.

[@johnshort7446]

The British still have among the best armies in the world today. All young men should do military training to make them into real men

[@weezie100160]

Thank you 42 for your service ...

[@Horriblebastad]

Brilliant,well done the fighting 42nd 🌿🌍⚓🦁

[@alastairwest5200]

Commando gunners of the Royal Artillery - awesome.

[@MrHeizer42]

a plymouth i miss you.... greetings from germany :-)

[@ThePlymouthgirl]

Love the policeman clapping at the beginning.

[@DavidGRichardson]

They all look very tough and fit, superb relaxed marching. Exact opposit to the robotic Chinese soldiers!

[@briananderson7046]

thank you to the UK!

[@Hvygunner]

Amen. Bless them all!

[@chrisholland7367]

I wish some people in the coments would understand the Royal Marines are part of the Royal Navy and not the British Army. These men are based just outside of Plymouth 42 or Four Two Commando .The history of the Royal Marines dates back to 1664 and they just celebrated their 359th anniversary. The Royal Marines and the Navy have always played a part in the history of Plymouth.

[@nemesisslr]

I was here for this, was amazing!

[@thx1138ga]

Thank you!

[@BT-kf4kx]

42nd is home, please never forget

[@valstandring7437]

[@ThaiManni]

[@belleray2]

Thank God for the British army. Look at that power and pride. Come on USA let's join them.

[@chrisholland7367]

Ashley Bell sorry mate this is the corps of the Royal Marines formed in 1664 deployed in his majesties king Charles 2nd of England's navy. For 352 years the marines have been part of the Royal Navy not the army.

[@ericwilliams2317]

Not the Army, they're Royal Marines (Navy)

[@denisallen4822]

Soldiers of the sea.

[@MichelMercieramimir59FR5962]

Bravo les gars .....

[@mikydees91]

45 commando here watching now

[@NewWaveFan1]

It's been a problem here in the U.S. they won't even give our troops any parades because they say "it costs too much".

[@clarkiiboii09]

AMAZING!

[@clarkiiboii09]

They are Royal Marines, best in the world. Also their not for the American Army or anything else. They are for Her Majesty and the United Kingdom.

[@44bluenose]

Best of the Best

[@johncrosbie3889]

Well done guys 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@PlutoniusX]

Amen

[@kenbuckley3294]

[@belesariius]

[@edwardcollins490]

though I saw Orlando Rogers some where here but can't find him now

[@stetom74aa]

proud be british

[@InfernalThunder]

Welcome Back

[@Damnblastify]

Very well observed!

[@Alan_Mac]

Not too keen on the silver band...but The Royal Marines? Possibly the most effective regimental unit in the world.

[@adetarrant9806]

How can you say you're not keen on the silver band, which happens to be The Band of Her Majesties Royal Marines Plymouth, led by Drum Major Philip (Flash) Gordon

[@silicononsapphire5102]

British Army. Best in the world. God Bless Ya.

[@chriskirwan5921]

Wow. Wow, never call them army if you ever meet one.

[@silicononsapphire5102]

Eh?

[@chriskirwan5921]

Royal Marines. There part of the Royal Navy...... not that they liked being called Navy either

[@silicononsapphire5102]

Right ho! I'll tell my cousins they're not in the army.

[@barcais2002]

I agree with your comments - why?

[@ThemowofChow]

I worry about how these lads go fitting back in and eventually discharging and finding employment after everything they give. I really wish them all the best.

[@JJDea7h]

Lot of them too :P

[@juanrivas3798]

[@davidhoward5392]

Royal Marines nothing else to said, the green beret says everything

[@minecraftloverftw]

Sometimes I think it easier for the guard regiments, they have a job to go back to after operations.

[@3345-p9g]

Name of the first drum solo?

[@chesseball890]

arms shoulder hight lol nice work lads !

[@clarkiiboii09]

@DrDerpwerth What country do you live in?

[@JJDea7h]

This is relevant, but do you think that Scotland should leave the UK? I think our united relationship is strong and should be forever lasting. It should be the one relationship we can rely on :)

[@juanrivas3798]

[@johnturner8383]

I think some of their ancestors marched onto the MAYFLOWER.....

[@daveforfun22]

what happens if you want to cross the streets to go shopping?

[@conniff44]

Not the best put together video, (a bit amateur) seeing where it came from.

[@worras2007]

Is it true that the service in the British army is very difficult and demanding both physically and psychologically? I mean is it very tough and very demanding? Because these men seem to be really very fit physically.

[@user-wh5ij6oh4s]

im british and I was wondering why is there no black marines in the british army marching in that welcoming home. does Plymouth have no black people or anything, I am white

[@subrosa7708]

I saw two blacks in one minute. Maybe you are colourblind or you have some kind of race issue? ;-)

[@user-wh5ij6oh4s]

I just noticed a lack of black people how does saying the word black make me a racist haha

[@subrosa7708]

InSebption Race issue does not mean just racism. It can olso mean opposite!

[@landshippirate7044]

also no disrespect brother but marines are navy lad not army :P

[@motorvating]

Anybody can join as long as they meet the criteria, so if there are few ethnics in the Marines that will be their choice. Many of the black people in the British military don't live in the UK as they come from commonwealth countries. My experience is that as a %, more white British join the forces then the other races who are British, and I think that is down to a cultural history.

[@RoCCa557]

look at the german wehrmacht, THATS a march

[@robbyrobrob1]

Where are their rifles? Oh, I think I know - fire arms are eeevil.

[@fiststomp_6137]

Rob True Fire Arms Evil? Ha. How can you be so ridiculous to call an inanimate object "Eevil"

[@robbyrobrob1]

Where are the young, beautiful ,cheering girls ? .........All I see is Grandma and Grandpa.
