Thank you for your service, you are an absolute legend for keeping your country safe.

@@ondaq5635 Thanks -- but just out of Hospital for a Liver Cancer Operation with a BIG CUT which is VERY SORE I cannot do much Marching at the moment -- the Surgeon was very interested tom learn of my RAMC service and we had a chat about 'Medical Matters' !!

@@theoldfilmbloke Im Young, not going to say how old. I always have wanted to be a Grenadier Guard but two things prevent me from doing that: 1) Im american, not british. 2) im too Young. So i just plan to watch and thank both American and British Soldiers for keeping us safe. I wish you the best through COVID-19 and i thank you for your service.

@@thatprussian9147 You can join the British Army as an American, it takes time, but you can join, apply for a visa, live here for 5 years, apply for British citizenship, the Army accept ages from 17 to 33.....

will damn the queen of brit old shes benn alive since ww1 and ww2

How kind. We have been doing this stuff for quite a while but put extra effort in to it when Her Majesty the Queen is involved! God Bless America!

james streator I do like British Ceremonial and Edwardian British Ceremonies are the best. Chile also has Great Prussia Drill and Ceremony. They probably are the best in German Drill and Uniforms. They Great but the British Full Dress(fullRed) and they Service Dress are the best.

Wait till the queen croaks.. then you’ll see ceremony 👍

james streator Has

Respect to you and respect to the USA.

🇬🇧🇨🇦👍

Respect to Canada ( the American loyalists ) from the UK

Having Troop the Colour twice, once on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada as member of the 1st Bn Canadian Guards and as a member of the 2nd Bn Canadian Guards on the square in CFB Petawawa, I know the discipline it takes to achieve a remarkable performance.

Respect to Canada. Battle of Britain, Dieppe, Normandy. From the U.K.

@@gazza2933 Right Back GAZ.

much love to you late Wife hope here memory last forever for you

Agree. From a loyal Australian. God save the Queen

Quite

Amen! From Canada!

@@winburna2075 Amen from Australia

@@Neil-yg5gm amen from UK

Love your comment from Austria ❤👍

@Steve Anon Well sorry she was tapping her foot to the music. Through the slow march, if you observe she also does it when quick march is in progress. Think she has soft spot for the P&Ds more noticeable.

Thought I'd seen a tap, too - however, whatever, jolly best of to her!

🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸 forever no.1 allies. We will always support our American brothers.

It’s hardly surprising for people from the U.K. and Commonwealth countries to think they are good, but it’s really wonderful to read expressions of admiration from other countries. Thank you. I hope you are safe and well 🇺🇸🇬🇧

♥️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Relationship? You mean we die in your wars. Yeah thanks. 👍🏻

Yeah america did definitely bail them out LoL

Can't believe he referred to america as a former colony LoL. How self deprecating

There is actually one military event in the US that comes much closer to this than the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and that's the Marine Corps Evening Parade at the Wachington Monument and the Evening Retreat at Marine Corps Barracks at 8th & I. There you'll see a parade of ~ 2 companies of Marines, a performance by the Silent ?Drill Platoon, along with performances by the Marine Crops Band, and the Marine Corps by the Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps. A much smaller affair than this ceremony but done with the same amount of pomp and circumstance.

We're good soldiers 'n' all. It's drill. Discipline. Those lads would beat the sh*te out of most. EVERY 'Murcan. Without breaking step.

Well said! These men are to be treated with the utmost respect, the discipline that is necessary for an elite fighting force is not met with any other division other than the household division. Impeccable on the drill square and formidable combatants in the field. They are not to be the butt of peoples jokes. There is so much more to them than what most people see them as "Those guys in black hats".

You are exactly correct every regiment can my dad was a Fusilier and he has mates that have done palace duties and my cadet Detachment commander did palace duties as the artillery

reddevilparatrooper you’re right about that you know and they are all VOLUNTEERS

@@alundavies8402 Wdym the Guards is a role in the British Army and it is a full-time job. You cannot be a reserve guardsman they just don't accept that lack of commitment.

Edwin Slater where did I write reserves Sir I said that they are all VOLUNTEERS that are not conscripts not the same thing Sir

I am always warmed to the heart when I see American servicemen and women enjoy our ceremonial traditions.Thank you.

Sorry, but it's British Army

Sorry it's the British Army some regiments and corps have the title 'Royal ' in it but collectively it's the British army 👍 The R.A.F Royal Air Force R.N.Royal Navy R.M.Royal Marines

Thank you USA from all the british

As an ex army veteran I thank the US vet for the comments made. Just one small caveat in that we do not have a ‘Royal’ army unlike the Navy & Air Force

Mate every regiment is made to do the same drill as each other so you are incorrect

@@muz2864 yes but the household divisions do even more drills. At catterick they do extra two weeks than other regiments to work on drill. So you're incorrect.

@@muz2864 Don't forget RAF drill.

RAAF drill is better

@@maskedgaming2798 no, just no

Oh I definitely like 12:07! It's got a great beat! And you just CAN'T resist dancing to it!

Hadn't been an empire since you've been around. They weren't all just fun and snappy a while back in history. Might not have liked them too much then...unless you were British or a recipient of their favor.

@@teller1290 1997 was technically the end of the empire so you should probably change what you said considering you don't know their birth date.

@@tesstickle7267 birthdate practically sometime after 1588 defeat of Armada. Ended, practically speaking, with loss of Australia, India, S. Afr, Singapore. In other words, the strain of two world wars (in blood and treasure), combined with larger powers arriving on the scene (U.S., China, India, then USSR), was really the end. Former colonial possessions' leaving the empire denied the empire revenue from those nations' resources and labor.

Watch Kenyans trooping of the color.

hammad bhatti Then You would Know exactly that what you are talking about SIR!

The Royal Scots were known as "Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard" due to their antiquity and claim to have guarded Christ's tomb. A French unit disputed the claim and the Scots conceded, saying that if THEY had been on guard the Body would not have disappeared.

*Honourable

Les Peate that’s well cool

Daniella Stuart How do You know all this cool stuff did you go to University?

The Coldstream Guards are the oldest regiment in continuous service in the British Army.

Rusty Kilt I’m not an Expert but it is very very good isn’t it!

tlv156 nice comments. I'm in the RAF and I've loads of respect for my Army brethren and our cousin's scores the pond

Clearly you haven't seen some of the states marching bands

Very good soldiers indeed...just not enough of them.

personally i dont give a shit about the queen, but the country and people, definately

The queen is a top quality figurehead. Funny every other country would love her.

I wish there was software available to cut out excessive commentary.

Was thinking same Hugh Edwards loving the sound of his own voice

gavsky23 Can't fix stupid!!

I go along with that gavsky23. Drives me up the wall when all I want to do is listen to the splendid music and see the lovely boys marching. All I can say is a repeat of what you have said, SHUT the HELL UP........

@@josephfrodriguez7631 I for one like the commentary. It explains what and why - and I like hearing them identify the muisc, although I knew Handel, Mozart and Men of Harlech..

And yet you use the union flag??

@Justa Bloke aye its people like him who use and abuse the union flag when it should be the st Georges cross they use that gets my back up. They forget the union flag belongs to all of us in these islands not just England,s

The cost to the taxpayer of events like trooping of colour, royal weddings the security detail alone was £24M + for meghan and harry. more funding for hospitals and schools .Oh no ,hundreds of millions spent on buckingham palace and extension at kensington palace . while homeless sleep rough on the streets. .As food banks open ,and poverty and homeless on the rise. wearing chocolate coin medals ascending to very high military ranks just because royal status , in most cases no active service mollycoddled by special forces as a PR exercise . Inequality is perpetuated with a medieval feudal unfair society this is so 19th century. Democracy is about the people voting and our children aspiring to be The next UK head of state not via birthright and self entitlement Stasi form of brainwashing the public into acceptance and validation. will not work in the 21st century.the monarchy is a waltz into the past , stifling the evolution of democracy in a modern democratic society .

Othermarket Blog. Wow! All that just to say crap. You should come to my country of origin and say that to the government and see what it will happen to you.

Please God our boys never have to do the goose step, with all it’s dreadful implications.

The slide is the slow march it disappears when the go to quick march

Mollie Yaxley there was nothing wrong with the goostep, it was first implemented by the Prussians 300 years ago.. yes the Wehrmacht used it but its just carrying on tradition.

Once a guardsman always a guardsman.
