My favourite trooping the colour, coincided with HRH diamond jubilee. Excellent music and marching, especially love the quick march from circa 23 minutes in - perfection!

Did you notice HM The Queen tapping in time with her feet at 23:22 ? The Red Feathers are really a fantastic tune.

This is correct. The Colour is not dipped in quick time, it is let fly. He did it correctly.

Cheers for your comments As a Londoner born and bred it is even more impressive watching it in the flesh !

I would like to say to All of the Troops, Great Job!!! Be Proud ALL of you were Awesome.. as were the horses.

Simply amazing traditions!

I think i t s very beuatiful with all those grenadiers. And also i also tthink the very beuatiful music of the great band. In england you may very be proud of this ceremonial. Thank you for this beautiful moments.!!!!

I agree, be proud of everything you do....Love the videos

Thanks for that information, I was unaware of that option at the time.

So much history, Britain will always be proud of this. Great to see the royals in their redcoats too. Canada needs to do a larger trooping of the colour, I think we do a version of it in early summer.

Just Great. I love seeing the Trooping tye Colours.

They do this once in every year since 1748. They did this for Queen Victoria too, but she didn't always attend the parade herself. Queen Elizabeth II, on the other hand, has attended every parade so far during her 60 years of reign.

God save the Queen!

The whole Trooping the Colour 2012 is on iTunes no commentary.....just pure musique

You could always buy the soundtrack once released and play it while watching the pictures.

Fantastic.

When the Mounted bands start to play in beginning what is that song i love it!

I know the feeling. It makes me proud as a Brit to know that a vast portion of the world speaks our language and it is arguable the most important language in the world. :)

We can only hope the new Director General of the BBC takes this on board once he takes up his post in the autumn.

I like the Red Coats, the Horse Cavalry and especially the Horse Artillery with the Guns.

There are some videos on YT of a rehearsal of Trooping the Colour in a yard of some barracks with just the music. Better turn the volume down first because the volume level of those videos is quite high. Since you asked for the music without commentary of the TV reporters, the vids might be worth to listen to them. Enjoy

they're either warrent officer insignia or specialisations i.e saddler, riding instructor etc.

Agreed but when it's not played by the full Band it loses the impact. Plus can you really do it with out a Zylophone like German Military Band?

What's the march at 38:08?

The best in the world we are so lucky to be british and more so to have or lovely queen

What's the name of the song played at 46:15 by the corps of drums?

Anyone know which Guards battalion is Trooping their Colour next year?

What are these red ribbons many of the Blues & Royals are wearing on their right sleeve? They don't seem to be rank insignia.

Every year for the Monarch's Birthday, it's occured for 300 years.

подскажите что за команды даются на протяжении всего парада tell me what commands are given throughout the day parade

how often do they do this? and didn't queen victoria did this too?

can someone tell me the name of the song at the start.

Fantastic display. All the horses had wonderful manners too. Thanks for posting. And part 2 doesn't have snotty viewer comments like part 1. Thank goodness. Too bad the commentators talk so much. Wasn't there a comment in the very beginning that a person could watch the raw feed - so it's possible to watch without chatter?

Ity is called the "Dutchess of Kents March" !

Is that the forfeit for an officer's faux pas? I would have thought bottles of vintage port.

I would imagine the ensign (Lt. Codrington) got into trouble after he returned to the barracks...he didn't dip the Colors for the National Anthem at the end of the parade...not good! Especially in the Queen's Jubilee year!

46:15 ; Nice to hear Preussens Gloria in there.

whats the name of the song at 5:30

"Soldiers of the Queen", popular in the late Victorian era.

The commentator said "The Adjutant" composed by Drum Major John Burkett.

Look at how trained these troops are. Get real.

can't you not press the red button to have it without commentary?

The Colour is only dipped in slow time, not quick time. In quick time it is simply let fly, which he did.

I remember i was arriving with my father to the palace as a non-colonel it was so hot when we got inside in the Queen told me " You know why so hot in here!" i said i really dont know your Majesty.

hope no mistakes

The BBC provide a red button selection to remove the commentators . I did this year and it was just great.

The Colour is not dipped in quick time, it is let fly.

Awesome...the redcoats look amazing but I always think it was crazy they fought in redcoats as it was such an easy target for their enemy..ah well lol they still won mostly

2 guys were talking from 12:37 to 12:48

To many comments.......

I see the flourish and recover done in slow time as it's meant to be, so no I don't think anything was bought. Port, Champagne or otherwise.

"Les Hueginots" !

He was talking about the other guys dressing in the ranks He was probably not in line !!

No he didn't, in the march past in quick time you don't dip the colors, only during the slow-time

1st battalion welsh guards

In the march past in quick time I don't think he is supposed to.

yeah.... bit late to be making that declaration pal

20:38 Doesn't anyone think that the Ferris wheel looks ugly in here? I mean It's a show of the traditions and the wheel certainly look too modernish.

Sadly no I have also watched the German version but alas it has the commentator rambling on and on all through the music..I sent a complaint to the BBC about the inane bablings year after year and they replied with "A lot of people wish to know this information" so that is why they have this talking all over the bloody music !!

Makes you bloody proud to be BRITISH!

Prussian Glory

ROTLMAO If that is what you thnik then what the hell are you doing watching this majestic sight of pure colonialism ?? Pangs of ENVY I bet !

дикторы не дают насладится маршами

Probably just moving their mouth to adjust the chin strap!

I assume your talking about the commentators ? they are a bloody nuisance

Down with Brittish colonialism!! -.
