I am proud to have served as a Royal Marine.

I feel honoured! Good that my dad sent me this video back in 99 that so many could enjoy it!

best day of my life was marching round to these two on my passing out at HMS Raleigh

Wow, this is as if gold has been struck! Thanks a ton! :). Much appreciated!!

I dare you to find better. These guys are the best in the world at what they do!!! Ex RM myself and I am proud as an old man to see that the tradition carries on now an I hope long after I am gone. Fellas I am proud of you!

God bless Her Majesty the Queen!!! from the Bahamas

i did this gig in 1980..it was unbelievable marching in the front rank of the corps of drums towards horse guards..i'll never forget the comradeship and pride..andy seddon,ex-royal marines band

May this honor all the brave British seamen, soldiers, and Merchant Marine who served their country in ww 2 for final victory, and the men who serve today. Thank You.

My favorite band too Thanks !

That was a wonderful performance of your national anthem ('God Save the Queen'), 'A Life on the Ocean Wave' and 'Heart of Oak'! Thanks for the upload! Greetings from 'the land of the free and the home of the brave': the United States of America!

The first fanfare is called fanfare for the first sea lord. One of my favorites.

god bless the royal marines and canada and all the british armed forces i am proud to be british.

Yes, the US and UK have a wonderful tradition.

I was once a drum major in the ATC and these boys (and girls) used to be my idols! They still are.

The fanfare in the beginning is one of my favorite and it is called Fanfare for the first sea lord.

My favorite band

Always. we will come back together one day....not too far i think.

Thanks

the US has tradition.. haha.. good joke... The Royal marines are brilliant... I saw them in Oslo last week... great show and a pleasure to see the dressing.... Best military band in the world to my opinion....

i'm British and yes Canada has sacrificed a lot for Her Majesty. God save Canada! God save the Queen!

The song is the orchestrated version of the bugle call "Sunset"

exelent!!!!

Thank you. I shall change this in my description!

Good to know - my granddad was an Australian who came to UK for WW1.

@TheBagger57 Canada is a great place, which I hope to visit one day. Thanks for your comments.

lots and lots of practise :-)

the wolesley helmets the RM wear are topped with a ball,a connection with the former royal marine artillery. the bands of the royal australian navy wore a royal marnies style uniform up untill the 50/s ,when they converted to navy "rig"....marty

It is called "Sunset Retreat" and it is traditionally played to mark the end of the day. Renard801 is quite correct.

They could give the Presidents own a rn for their money. Great musicians!

what an obscene number of clarinets!

The Sunset has got to be the best part right?

@breakdown997 indeed they did and respect to them, espcially today

The same song played in the handover of Hong Kong..... :)

@ukanian how very true!

It was actually Gordon Jacob.

He's reading the programme of music1

@collinsl02 No, thats the 'name' of the actual fanfare :P

Not the band...but the rifle drill squad is damn fine, congrats on that.

Grantus1 its called "Sunset"

Correction, its not Royal Oak, it's Heart of Oak

@thefword123 Fanfare for the 1st Sea Lord (I think - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!)

Please: if anybody can help me, do it!!! I want this for my marriage, the point when the bride comes in

got to do something to pass the time, eh? :)

@TheBagger57 HM Royal Marines

Hi all. Love this video! Here's a question. What is the name of the fanfare just prior to God Save the Queen, or is it officially the start of God Save the Queen? I'm trying to find a band version (ie no choir) with the fanfare and the song itself. Cheers

is this the beating of the retreat?

im pretty sure i see prince phil but isnt he grenadiers?

can anyone tell me what the seconds song in is called?

Could someone say how the fanfare is called they play right before her majesty's anthem??

again, I would very much appreciate if anyone could tell me what the tune beginnning at 0:10? Thanks!!

What's the anthem called that starts at 1:28? Thanks!

what's the song played from 0:10-1:16?

ohh, its the tune you want. i thought you wanted to hire the band lol sorry mate i dont know the tune :(

Our American talking heads are AT LEAST as bad as the guy who talked over "Life on the Ocean Wave", if not worse. I think they mainly enjoy hearing themselves talking. Politicians are in the same boat. Merry Christmas

HMKG's band will always be better in marching...

@gotz777 I don't think so. I believe the bond between the general public and the military is very much stronger then it used to be primarily down to the hard work of General Sir Richard Dannat as CGS from 2006-2009

Awesome band. A great deal of work is put into this. But the best? maybe the second best. The band of his majesty the king of norways guard is better when it comes to marching. Much better.

the great chinese takeaway :(

Unfortunately all TV commentators have a habit of being untimely sods. Ruined the Heart of Oak rendition too
