Daft, I know it's nonsense and that I'm being shamelessly manipulated, but I really don't care. The spectacle is magical and has enthralled me since childhood. So proud.
@@Dandalore Manipulated? Because history, pagentry, call it what you will continues or is allowed to continue, because it is written by the winners. Romanovs were massacred so that the Tsars could not be restored, Cromwell had the Crown jewels melted down and Charles 1st executed to destroy the divine right of Kings he had the Royal Collection flogged off to do away with the propaganda value of that collection. We are allowed to continue to enjoy Trooping the Colour, the Lord Mayor's Show, Changing of the Guard, Yeoman Warders, State Openings of Parliament, to make us think our History has been stable for a thousand years. When it hasn't. Bread and Circuses.
Poor drill, arms at different heights, broken step as if crossing a bridge (listen to the footfall).. sadly most nations are far better. China particularly Beverley.
@@Perseus7567 Just listen to the step, they're all over the place. We have to stop living on past glories. The RAF won't employ good locals and the RN have about 6 ships, excluding the 2 carriers both of which are unserviceable. We can't recruit because conditions are now so poor. Google is your friend. The UK needs to pull its finger out... sharpish. The OP states 'no country can match.' Check out the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology Militia. A group of student seamstresses in their Territorials are far superior at drill. The Chilean Civil Servants are also much smarter... It's ridiculous how low we've sunk. And I say this, with sadness, as a 34 year veteran.
Look at that the suns out, it must have taken hours all getting ready, hob nail boots polished, buttons gleaming, bear skins all upright and marching with the band. The Queen would be so proud of them still. She wouldn’t have missed a thing, she noticed everything that was amiss. I miss her Majesty still. 😢
And to go with the title of the video the 1st march heard is aptly called “The King’s Guard” and it’s super😎 This is indeed preparation for the King’s Birthday Parade aka Trooping the colour. There are full dress rehearsals the two Saturdays prior to the main event on the 15th of June. They already look and sound fantastic😊 Nobody does it better! Thank you for sharing this video👍
I remember my first troop in 1981 proud day for me. had been doing public duties sine 1979, started at Windsor castle and then moved in to Chelsea barracks in mid1980
The Police force throughout Our Country do what they are told to do .The public are behind those decisions .The Police are damned if they do and damned if they dont.They are on our streets putting their lives at risk every day. Please believe me I do know what I am talking about.

Me too, I just love all the traditions. I am assuming they are practising for Trooping The Colour.
Good oh... I'm with you mate. Love it, always have, it's our history.
It's not nonsense! Our traditions make the world green with envy.
Why do you feel you're being manipulated? Our culture is as valid as anyone else's and this spectacle is a treasured part of it.

When the British Army does things right it’s better than anyone else on the planet. You can’t beat this
Absolutely great to see the Kings Guard parade 👏 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤
There’s something about watching the Guards March, that no others country can match. 👍👍

Lovely to see, thank you 😊

Thank you to everyone on parade for keeping us safe
Brilliant 👑🇬🇧
What a beautiful site. Always will gives the goosebumps😊.
The foot guards regiments march to horse guards parade for rehearsal for kings birthday parade
I wonder if they are practising drill for the Trooping the Colour next month?
They are. I think this is the first rehearsal in scarlets on Horse Guards Parade. More to follow in the coming weeks
Yes one today and another Saturday around 9am
Yes.That is why they are “Marching at Ease”.
this is about the only thing this country has to be incredibly proud of. What brilliance and precision !!

These guys should police London as the Met has lost the plot

Brilliant idea
Couldn't agree more
At least one western country can produce a good military heritage.
Pageantry and history that makes Britain great
Thanks for focussing on the troops. Love the bands but often videos strictly focus on the bands
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
They actually managed to teach African recruits how to march in step and in stride ..... quite an achievement.
Any notice the police officers in front ? and know whey they are alwys there.?
To prevent anyone from doing anything stupid, e.g jumping in front of the guards. No one wants to get trampled by a horse.
They might look like toy soldiers, but believe me, these guys are highly trained fighting men who serve in conflicts all over the world !
Hate to pop the bubble but this is not good drill ...and the officers in front... tut, tut.
The drill is fine, Chinese bot. No different to the drill in the '30s.
What a truly impressive sight . Very proud indeed
The colour is Scarlet.
