Don't worry about Brexit. We're still here. Weird as ever. Don't forget 1940 when we left some of our soldiers in France, so that we could evacuate 120,000 French from Dunkirk alone. Your Government demanded their return (only 7,000 agreed to stay in England and form a Free French Army under de Gaulle). We duly returned them - many of whom went into captivity. You were let down by your politicians. Some things don't change do they?

So WE Can suppose That BOTH GUARDS (French and British ) are good ''at mounting'' their horses ...LoL. Furthermore there might be a small confusion with our FRENCH expression ''monter la garde = litterally ''mounting the guard'' 🙄. Lol LOL , BUT more correct to say ''to stand guard '' before BUCKINGHAM PALACE for example .. 👏

One of the earliest allusions to martial music appeared in a dance treatise by Thoinot Arbeau (1588). In 17th-century France, the military band of Louis XIV played marches, and France literally set the pace for march music all over Europe well into the 19th century.
