Indeed 👍

Well said.

From a retired Yank soldier....hear hear! At the Battle of the Plains of Abraham it is said that the British commander ordered the pipes stopped. When the battle turned badly a soldier yelled if he wanted victory start the pipes. He did and they did. Legend maybe, but the military service is built upon legends and traditions and the Brits and their Commonwealth do a fine job at both.

Is that a pic of the royal Munster fusiliers?. I’m from munster

Good man JP.

The "Dog" is an Irish Wolfhound known Affectionally as "Seamus" by The Regiment of The Irish Guards. He is The Regiment's Mascot, a Purebred Irish Wolfhound named "Domhnall" in Keeping with Tradition, all The Mascots are Named for Ancient Irish Kings, but are all known Fondly as "Seamus" in his day to day Duty. Domhnall was Officially Retired in September 2019, having Served from 2012, the 16th Irish Guards Mascot. Domhnall is Pictured Proudly Wearing his Summer Order Uniform, A Scarlet Coat, complete with Black Collar with the Regimental Collar Badge of a Shamrock & The 4 Button Grouping denoting an Irish Guard, the 4th Senior Regiment of the Footguards. On the Side of His Coat is the 8 Pointed Star of the Order of St Patrick, the Cap Badge of the Irish Guards, with the Motto Quis Separabit? (Who Shall Separate Us). The 17th Irish Wolfhound Mascot is "Turlough Mor" who joined The Regiment in Dec 2020 & is also known Fondly as "Seamus". There is one thing that sets The Irish Guard Mascot apart from Every Other Mascot in the British Army, theirs is the Only Mascot allowed to Lead the Regiment on Parade. Other Regiments may with Permission Parade with their Mascot, but the Mascot must March behind the Colour & Usually they'll be at the Rear of the Parade. When Seamus Parades, he is First, the Drum Major & Band are Next & the Colour Bearer & Escort Lead the Guards Next.

Yea, I roared when I read that. Only in the Micks QS

No way lol I shouldn't laugh the poor poodle but that that really happen

That does not Automatically Make the Pipes a Persian Instrument. Case in Point, The Brigade of Gurkhas also have a Pipe & Drum Band & there are Statues & Friezes of Them throughout Nepal. In 2000 years they will still be there for whatever Intelligent Life Forms of the Time to Wonder at. That won't mean that they were a Nepalese Instruments. The Celts History goes back just as many Years as that of the Persians, although they were not known as Celts for all that time. Their Roots & History have been traced to Northern Europe & Scandinavia & further. Some Historians Claim there was Contact with Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia & what we now know as Turkey. Even the Hyksos Civilisation share some of the Celtic Forms & Patterns, that Manifest all through the known Migration to the Celtic Civilisation's Centre in 1AD.

@vickyRoyalHistory True that many civilizations share common things. However bagpipes are clearly shown in very ancient persian reliefs where others have no such direct linkage. Many musical instruments have persian origins, too. Let's enjoy them!

@@martynewport Yes, I'll always Enjoy them, but I stand by the fact they're Celtic in Origin. We'll agree to disagree then about the Origins of Bagpipes & as you Say Enjoy the Music. I find the Regimental Quick March (St Patricks Day) a little flat when the Pipes aren't Playing too, I must Say. Enjoy Your Weekend & Stay Safe.

@vickyRoyalHistory bagpipe music from Britain is the best in the world I would say, and we all enjoy it. We are united under music!

It’s the state dress for the drum major.

@@youtubeaccount5738 thank you

@@danbailey8182 anytime.

Just a Bit more Info, The Mounted Band of the Household Cavalry, that's the one with the 2 big Kettle Drums on Clydesdale Horses also have a State Uniform Similar to the Drum Majors. Their State Uniforms are the Oldest Continually Worn Military Uniforms in the World & date Back to 1660, when King Charles ll was invited by Parliament to come back from Exile in Flanders & take the Throne, after Oliver Cromwell died. He had raised the Lifeguard Regiment (The Oldest Regiment in the BA) as Body Guards while in Exile & they were made up of Loyal Cavaliers. The Drum Major's State Uniform worn here by DM Gareth Chambers (1 Bat: IG) who is now The Senior Drum Major of the Household Division, was also Supplied by Charles ll, but not until around 1670, so they too are very Old & unchanged from the Original Style, but are no longer made from Gold Cloth. The State Uniforms are only worn when there Will be Royalty Present or on the Changing of the Guard Parades if they fall on the Birthday of a Senior Member of the Royal Family or Prince George's Birthday as 2nd in Line to the Throne.

Scot Jim it's the Company marches of the 1st battalion Irish Guards.

Robin blitz that’s south west London for you XD

Bit unfair the Irish guards take their history from all of Ireland and the regiment was formed as a tribute to irish soldiers who died in wars before 1900 you must remember many southern irish have died wearing the uniform of the Irish guards not just before independence but after independence in ww2 and after.. The regiment was never used in IRELAND so does not have a history of conflict with other Irish men Being southern irish myself i dont have any real problem with this my grandmothers first cousin died fighting the germans in france and her brothers at the same time were in the IRA fighting for independence i am proud of all of them ,,,,, people should not be so easily triggered i doubt the IRISH wolfhound cares

Pipers have been part of the music if Irish regiments since the 17th century, although the current tradition of a battalion pipe band rather than a corps of drums dates from the 19th. Likewise the dress of pipers is based on that of historic Irish custom albeit a somewhat romanticized version from the Gaelic revival of the late 19th century, the Irish kilt being an invention from this time (although the saffron colour was used historically). Irish Guards pipers have worn saffron kilts and caubeen bonets since the first World War, with most other Irish regiments following that dress in the inter war period. I did notice that this wasn't the regimental orchestra of the band, pipes and corps of drums, so I assume part of the battalion was otherwise engaged on exercise or deployment last St Patrick's day and the Drums & Pipes with the exception of the three on parade here were with them. As to members of the Royal Family wearing kilts it is actually pretty common for male members of the Royal Family to wear kilts when in Scotland, particularly when at the summer residence in Balmoral. In fact the page boys at the wedding of HM the Queen to the Duke of Edinburgh wore kilts.

Samuel McKittrick In fact, Irish Army pipers wear similar, a bit more tendentiously romanticised. Note the two buffet-slaying trumpeters in the Band. That said, the wee man the OP was having a little tease…
