at 9:10 I got goosebumps the pipes and drums of the Scots and irish guards, and the Corps of drums of the irish and coldstream guards and the massed bands omg!! Amazing arrangement of Pentland hills!

[@toyman9642]

Several years ago, I hate the opportunity to see the massed bands of the Royal Marines in London. Amazing. A great experience.

[@gray3553]

Just love the way the corp of drums (foot soldiers) play along side the professional musician's. Superb.

[@meadowlands1937]

Bravo! Glad to see your work again. First video today. Thanks.

[@johnbarnes5237]

My late father used to play "Pentland Hills" on the accordion, but he said the Irish called it, "The Lakes of Sligo."

[@barry5356]

The Tune is The Rowan Tree

[@arnoldbouman7992]

Geweldige video, ik wou dat ik er bij geweest was !

[@FueledByAdobo03]

For God and the Empire!

[@gaiusmarius4112]

I've never heard "the Irish guards" march played by the symphonic band and as a first impression I'd say it's superb !

[@kenUK762]

Well done. Nice vid, and a good day to be out on the Mall. Hope you can cover the Birthday Parade next Saturday.

[@bernardmcmahon5377]

Very good , love it.BM Salford

[@lorenzbroll101]

The high quality of music show a high quality of training?

[@coldstreamer6252]

Btw the 2nd March is called "The Quick March of the Irish Guards" yes, I know St. Patricks day is the actual quick march, but thats the name of this march..

[@mikeellis4838]

Another fantastic video 👍thanks for sharing

[@GeorgeRMcFarlane]

What's the march called after "if your Irish come into the parlour". It's bugging me I used to play this in the local flute band but can't remember it

[@GeorgeRMcFarlane]

It's cool I've remembered it's called Irish guards march

[@susansmith5965]

Mart I am under the blue and green flag at the top of horse guards and mall junction. Beside the young Chinese lady with the bright yellow dress on. Did you notice one of the household Calvary drum horses came up late and looked unwell.

[@Kuiper3282]

Well that was close, almost pushed you aside as well. Yes first I was wondering why they had just one drum horse, couldn't figure it out. There was a problem with a horse of the KTRA as well, one of the girls was trown off and had to be replaced. Attending Beating Retreat as well?

[@harlife9420]

Can anybody tell me when actually the official will be held ?

[@harveyburton5525]

Sultan ID a week today at the same times

[@gaiusmarius4112]

Sultan ID June 17th

[@spooksparanormalsociety4034]

I am ex military, and love ALL marching bands...now there is a phrase, as smart as a Guardsman...yet sadly, and I may be over critical, but there was many a period when they were marching where the lines were bowing, not straight, and at one point, a whole back section was slightly outta step with the rest...now considering the preparation and rehearsals that take place prior to an occasion, this was a poor drill effort...yes, the music quality was superb, but for Guardsman, they let themselves down. Considering Royal members were present hence the drum majors wearing state dress, it was shoddy in areas.

[@MrScall35]

Unfortunately there is no distinction now between the Guards regiments and the rest of the British Army in regard to drill. Perhaps it is down to the scrapping of the Guards Depot. I don't think drill is as important for them now as it used to be. I watched a video of the Irish Guards yesterday, Trooping the Colour at a military tattoo in Denmark, in 1982. Very impressive, and the soldiers looked every inch guardsman.

[@mauricesullivan8625]

Remember the real parade is on the 17th, that's that's why we do the rehearsals, for the big day, there's a lot of hard work gone in there don't forget there other duties, doing the real stuff, leave it to the guards they will do it on the day, guards style.!! Go on you micks.

[@Peter-lm3ic]

Duncan Curtis What rubbish you write! I have been interested in the Brigade of Guards for more than 50 years and yes I have been to Caterham Barracks many years ago and have served in the RM, Infantry, RA & special forces and I know what I am about and standards have not dropped! They are as good as they have ever been! So please stop running down the British Army!

[@the-IrishAnimator]

Duncan Curtis they're Guards bands.. none of those musicians bar the pipe bands and corps of drums have been catterick for proper guard drill lessons, you should know that as an ex-serviceman

[@Catalpa1876]

Royal members. Leadership comes from the top down. Shoddy indeed.
