Absolutely Brilliant! 👏👏👏
that is not 'The Saints', it is 'Sarie Marais'; still a great marching song by a great regiment though..
Actually Sarie Marais was based on the song Ellie Rhee a popular dance hall tune at the time, adopted by Boers and given Afrikaans lyrics. I weep for Southern Africa. It could have been a paradise for both Black, White, Coloured and Indian. If only Leaders there, in UK and Portugal weren't so shortsighted. Angola and Mozambique were wonderful. Many a time when I was based in SWA I recall drinking parties with Portuguese Police and soldiers! "Oh Cameradie, Vinho Vinho!"
Is it Mugabe’s funeral? :)
Sarie Marais was the marching tune of combined South African and Rhodesian forces ie 6th armoured division during the Second World War.
Even though the RLI was founded after the Second World War
A
Thought they will play the RLI regimental march tune
Neniwofuti Same I was pumped to listen to the scotsguard band play Saints go marching in
Now they won't even play "The Saints Come Marching In".
Aye mate. Can't hurt the civies "feels" what a load of bullocks from them.

i am afraid not. given that the clip is ten year old. sigh
Sadly he died November 2017
good on u charlie aust you fought well and were on the right side
why was sarie marais played?
Maybe they were playing all the Southern African tunes
@@HappySerafim Nah, there was no Sweet Banana
Second march?
+Ootah "Highland laddie" the regimental quick march of the Scots Guards
Hjaltland60 Thank you!
This video has been around for a number of years but someone must have found a way to clean it up and sharpen the focus. Always has been ine if my favorites even when the quality a few yeas back wasn't very good
Its a greeting.any fool would know the Selous Scouts were a Rhodesian unit.Ron Reid-Daly passed away recently.
Pamwe Chete is the Rhodesian Selous Scouts. it has nothing to do with the Boers of South Africa...
I don't understand why the SG Band played "Sarie Marais", which is an Afrikaner song later adopted as the Official March of HM Royal Marines Commandos, and not the Regimental March of the RLI which was "When the Saints go Marching in". The march off is the regimental quick march of the SG, "Hieland Laddie".
@bxnyfordham You can try Lekker wear.com.Sarie Marais is from the Anglo-Boer War.It has been adopted as a march by the UK Royal Marines Commando.The Boer Kommando were teararsing about the veldt shooting up the khakis(brits) every chance they got.I guess you could say the Boers were like todays special forces.They had to be to survive in Southern Africa at that time.Pamwe Chete.,
Zimbabwe? God help the people there. Black or white.
Zimbabwe? God help the people there.
It's like some sort of weird comedy skit...the stupid hats, the short leader who stamps his foot and talks to the old man in the green beret. And then, they march away. great stuff lol
get a life mate, its tradition and men die for these attributes!
Yes, it's long held tradition; However, during the time period when those uniforms were used and the drill movements, it was much less mechicanical and stressful. Rather the movements were far more practical looking and much more natural. However in a time when such phyiscal actions are no longer needed in actual combat, that's when they advanced the movements to be far more exact and harsher to look more mechanized.
Ashvegian. The old man in the green beret was once the finest Fire Force commander in finest army in the world. The men in the stupid hats are modern-day representatives of the country that betrayed him ... ponder that.
What the fuck do you know pal, have you served in any armed force or are you just a keyboard worrior, theses men have fought and seen freinds die some in there arms trying to save them , have some respect . If your wondering yes ive served and seen freinds killed and held a dying freind to the end .
Coward
@RhodesianBok You`re welcome to build an addition to my home ( if I request it).... that doesn`t make it yours sir!
@McSprackel It wasn`t yours to " turn over " in the first place. That`s what`s wrong with the world today. Ignorant arrogance. Western intrusion in the affairs of sovreign nations. Take a look at Operation Ajax. These things ALWAYS come back to bite you in the ass.... hard
@McSprackel It wasn`t "yours" to turn over to "them ' in the first place. It`s when you mess with other people`s cultures that the trouble starts.... but we never seem to learn. Now it`s the American`s turn to bring "freedom" and win the hearts and minds of the grateful Iraqis and Afghanis. Yeah right.

Greetings from a friendly American. God bless ya'll and great music.
plus the cameria is directly above them ecause of the ground's elevation,
no black man can rule a country. You need brains for thing like that.......Thats my thesis and the conclusion is 'the facts speak for then selves' just look at zimbabwe (rhodesia) and South Africa
Where can I get a copy of your thesis? It didn't take Mugabe long to wreck that country did it? Am I the only person who recognizes that ALL Rhodesians were FAR better off under Smith's rule?
No, not the only person
Just the white folks
@@apoiujdba0-9u Sadly many people just see the blacks as part of the fauna instead of acknowledging they were the native inhabitants of their area and being treated as trash in their own land.
@@apoiujdba0-9u Yeah lol it's like looking at Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and saying...wow all Americans must be rich
I own this footage. It is to be included in a special compilation to commemorate the RLI.
Sarie Marie was from SA not Rhodesia, I know later was used in British armed forces.
A fine display by the band of the Scots Guards. The first march is "Sarie Marie" to salute the RLI, and the second is "Highland laddie" the regimental quick march of the SGs. The band fields 40 musicians which I guess is the standard now for guards bands. It use to be 48 & 60 not long ago.
