[@midnightteapot5633]

I was in St James' park for this trooping , went down to Chelsea barracks too to watch the drills . remember being grabbed in the street by the old bill in mufti after I walked along the residential street round the back of the barracks , they suspected I might have been a burglar. just picked up a load of photo's of the trooping rehearsals from the developer's at Kings cross so my story about why i was in Chelsea was somehow proved haha. happy days !

[@patriot4786]

so were you a guardsmen back then?

[@midnightteapot5633]

@@patriot4786 ah no , I came back to the "old country" on holidays , finished a couple of years in the Army reserve in Australia so my mother who was with me on the holiday was convinced I was going to join up while we were there and not go back heh.

[@patriot4786]

1:00:10 we dont see guardsmen like them anymore nowadays. They looked fierce with those mustaches and all their posture are well built, with the same height, and full of precision in drill

[@stevehedley81]

I'm so glad I served late sixtys early seventys , you took real pride in your personal drill and kit , then you had to be of a certain hight , not like today , there's nothing more daft than a guardsman under 5 ft 5 in , even more daft with the skin on . It's the same in the regimental bands were women are aloud to join . Excellent players just like the men , but hight , 5ft 2in ? Not good . Take a good look next time , early days of box ticking has dropped standerds , of course the SLR , an excellent weapon for drill and in combat went , in came the SA80 , not realy the same visually . Sounds like I'm complaining , well maby so , but we all know the standerds and what's expected , especially from ex guardsmen from the 60s 70s and 80s who don't miss a trick , your eyes don't lie .

[@patriot4786]

@@stevehedley81 I would definately agree with you sir. Your generation were the best, back in your time, it must have been the era of guardsmen perfection, all in the same height, all fit and well maintained body posture and all good in drill. Sad to see it have decreased in quality nowadays.

I’m an American and I love watching the trooping and I’ve noticed in older parades in the 50s and 60s the mounted band always the entire slow march of the life guards and the don’t do that anymore and I was wondering and if anyone knew why?

[@patriot4786]

and if you love watching these ceremonies, have you realized that guardsmen back then had stricter discipline in height, drill precision, and all were well built.

[@Robbielazar]

Time ( length of the parade), one of the main reasons the parade became smaller, plus the kings troop. Simple as that
