Chang of the Guard is carried out by soldiers on active duty from the Foot Guards who have guarded the Sovereign and the Royal Palaces since 1660, the sight of their famous bearskin hats and red tunics is indelibly linked with Buckingham Palace and the British Monarchy.
Accompanied by a full military band playing a selection of music ranging from traditional marches to songs from musicals and familiar pop songs, the ceremony is both a colourful military tradition and an important reminder of the close relationship between the Armed Forces and their Head: The Queen.

Notice the different drill style of the Canadian gunners at the lead of this video. Canadians march with their (much longer) weapons in the "shoulder arms" position ... default tucked into the right armpit. Canadians have not laid their rifles on the shoulders British style since the advent of the semi automatic FN rifle back in the 1960s. Other than that, Canadians follow British drill for the most part.

Must be difficult to march at shoulder arms, the movement of hip right against the rifle could knock it loose.

@@fasteddie406 Nope. It's no problem at all. Done it for hours and it's comfortable ((changing sides from time-to-time, of course) You firmly grip the rifle at the grip. The hand grip is behind the magazine so there is nothing to get in the way (Weirdly, the current British infantry rifle as the magazine BEHIND the grip. How the hell do they hold those to shoot with the magazine pushing on your hand?) Anyway, this is not a new idea and Canadians have been marching like that since about 1960. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcyHaMZpyZPImGQ.html Historically, that is the way Brown Bess muskets were carried for over a hundred years ... just like that sans the hand grip and inside the left armpit, not the right as default.

@@abrahamdozer6273 Rifle has a short stock so still held in same way as it fits into shoulder well, and left hand under barrel. In fact the mag been so far back means you are better position firing in the prone as it is directly under your elbow arch.

@@abrahamdozer6273 5.56 rather than the 7.62 of the SLR so less stopping power and the original version was not squaddie proof(easy to break) but in Northern Ireland on patrol it was far easier to work with, entering buildings/vehicles etc without getting caught on door or curtains as you swing round,plus the strap system meant hands free so good when reading documents/I.D.s you could rest it down your hip. Newer version with upgrades I have not used but is meant to be far improved.

0:11 that's a proper "about turn". the american version looks like a ballroom dance floor pirouette. i cringed when i first saw it as i thought the soldier was making fun of the drill instructor and it was a disciplinary offence

Why at 2:30 does the leader have a blue plume (Irish Guard) but everyone else is wearing red?

Sometimes, drum majors from different Guard Regiments help each other’s band. For example, A Grenadier Guardsman Drum Major may helps out the Band of the Scots Guards.
