Thank you for showing the Guard of Honour, so many others seem to want to exclude the Royal Navy element from their video's, they were in preparation and training for weeks for this away from their ships/bases, the polishing of buckles, scabbards and boots, cleaning of caps and pressing of white tops and blue jeans took many hours of their 'off-duty' time, I know my son is one of those in your video.

@Geordiegjs 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I wanted to include the Guard of Honour as these men and women represent our Royal Navy. Without them, there would be no Royal Marines! As a young Sea Cadet, I was in the Guard and I know how hard it is to get your kit up to standard with spit and polish, Brasso and whitening. I hope that he and his shipmates also enjoyed the video.

Presentation of the Navy and Marines and these Parades in these troubled times are vital, not just for the heritage and display, but to remind the folks that a generation of their young people are out there holding the Grey Line. Look at the Naval Prayer. For me. Grand memories of 1967 to 2014. So, we say in Navy Speak, BRAVO ZULU well done. So BZ DESIG YOU

Hi William, yes you would normally expect that but I understand from the families of those who took part that they were drawn from ships/bases across the service and volunteered to practice and drill in their own time over a period of months.
