I'm watching from north west london it's amazing I always watch it
I hope they have given an invitation to young Frank who absolutely adores the Guards and looks smart in his little uniform and I think it would make his day and show him how much he’s appreciated by them boosting their morale daily
To march or be on horseback and play a musical instrument takes skill. I am full of admiration and pride.
I’ve a feeling it’s going to be positively marvellous.
Go the Royal Family.
Indeed 👏 Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
So glad it was recorded as couldn’t watch live. Absolutely awesome 😍
so agree.
Absolutely magnificent ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 Love the British Ceremonial parades.❤
Watching from Washington state in the USA. I too love the British ceremonial parades and love all things British. God bless the British Royal Family.
As a ex guardsmen it is great to the lads doing the business of the trooping the colour 👍 🇬🇧

Music Inspection March
31:49 Slow March : Silk and Gold
34:40 Quick March : Welcome to Ireland
Appreciate the march identifications. Is Silk and Gold is a new composition? Welcome to Ireland, arr Shannon, is a medley of Irish tunes starting with the Kerry Dance, but here it's the only tune played - or at least the only one that I can make out.
@@e.chambers2973 Yes, it's a new composition for this year's parade.
@@wasawat.cnetprahas Thanks! Have you heard what the slow marches are for the first march past? The first was unfamiliar and the second I'd heard before but I couldn't quite place.The quick marches were easy to identify: Arromanches and The Guards Armoured Division - salute to the Normandy Landings and the 2nd battalion's participation in the Normandy campaign.
@@e.chambers2973 There is a newly written The Neutral Slow March. which I still don't know the name of, as for the second Neutral Slow March is Mollendorf's Parade
@@wasawat.cnetprahas Of course! Mollendorf's Parade! The Band of the Household Cavalry, when mounted, often plays this march. Also reassuring to know the first slow neutral march is new. Thanks once again!
Thank you for this video. For those of us who will never have the chance to be there in person this is almost like being there! I am in awe of the hours and hours that must go into practicing that precision marching - it does not look easy but they get it right and WOW! I can’t imagine all the work that goes into coordinating this entire event. Thank you again for this video!
Fabulous
You are a wonderful gem. Thank you for sharing this. From a true Aussie fan 😊
My time to relax and watch. Spectacular! 🇳🇿 ❤❤
Wonderful! I know you will definitely enjoy watching 💂♂️👏
It's rubbish drill terrible.😊😅
So awesome 👏 😊 I wish I could see n person.
I wonder what that little "drama" was with the Guardsman marching off the parade with an Officer and set to stand next to the Police van, a little chat between an RSM and the officer who then returns to the Guardsman for another little chat and the Guardsman marches back into his division. Now I wonder what that was all about?
There was a lot of pushing and shoving when in slow time after a Left form.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video of the changing of the guards, it's stunning and magnificent. I enjoyd it so much.. you're the best kings guards channel here for me
The Massed Bands’ dressing was way off but that’s why they have rehearsals!
Never stop posting, i love those kind of videos.
Another Awesome vedio
What a sight to see, and even more, t o see in person!!!!
Thank you for letting me apart of this😊
Blessed day
God Bless
From here in Martin, Tn. USA😊❤🙋♀️🇱🇷
Spectacular well done all
To all the household division who are doing the trooping the colour 2024 I wish you all good luck for trooping the colour 2024 I will be watching you all
I see GSM Stokes on the parade ground! In command as usual!
anyone noticing that a family reviewing the guards in the saluting base? Quite strange isn't it?
Unless they won some competition to get seats there, or are from a hospital
@@shady8479 im still wondering lol, or maybe is the major general's family or some soldiers or high ranking officer family that wants to participate in it.
@@shady8479 i dont think the british army accepts competition or any sort like that. Only special access is allowed for the generals or any officers family to come i guess.
@@gustloffshizukayamamoto4689 Could be, somebody should know
This family will have been allowed for some reason but I’m sure there’s a very simple reason.
I cannot wait for this trooping. First time id have been to the trooping while a King is on the throne. Ive attended a few as a civvie and HRH ElizabethII was my queen, and ive been in one as a member of her WelshGuard (Cymru am Byth 🏴)
I'll be wearing my formal wear this year when I attend 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
Good man! 🫡
Watching from AUSTRALIA WHAT IS THE BLCK BOX PULLED BY THE TWO WHITE HORSES .AM ENJOYING THIS SO MUCH
The box is the carriage that The King and Queen will be carried in, assuming the king won't be on horseback (which is expected)
@Thekingsguardchanel-fanaccount Are they going to have all 5 household guards on parade like they did for the first timme lasy year?
Love watching every time. Your the best at showing us this awesome footage. Watching from Florida. 🙂
Thanks so much, really appreciate that. Definitely take pride in bringing you the very best content. Glad you enjoyed!
I am watching a show of horses at a park with a band. Being from Canada, this is my first time seeing this, once thing that could encourage me to join is if you had some explanation of what I am watching - what you are showing. I have no idea but I would like to learn more.
This is a rehearsal for the ceremony of "Trooping the Colour", otherwise known as the King's Birthday Parade, in which the regimental Colour (flag) of one of the five Guards regiments is "trooped", i.e. displayed to all the troops,.in the presence of the King. There will be two more full dress rehearsals on 1st and 8th of June, and the actual ceremony with the King taking the salute will be on 15th June. There is a long Wikipedia article describing the history and development of the ceremony, which dates from the days when it was essential for soldiers to be able to recognise their own regiment's Colour as a rallying point in the heat of battle.
Could someone please explain what's happening.beautiful to watch so far.
It's a rehearsal for the ceremony of "Trooping the Colour" which will take place on 15th June in the presence of the King. (The long Wikipedia article gives more details of the ceremony.)
👋👋👋🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why are the buglers never used?
Hope there is no demonstration on at the rehearsal.
Sorry I missed out a word to quick in putting my input, once again sorry
What is the piece played at 42:00 ?
1:54 2:23
Does anyone know the best place to stand along the mall to be at the front for the balcony appearance and flyover?
Opposite the Duke of York statue, at the point where those on parade turn off of the Mall & head towards the parade ground. The police usually open the crowd barrier first at this point & you can join everyone heading towards the Palace.
@dazzelcop1019 thanks for your help, will attempt to head there. Any idea of a good time to get there as travelling from elsewhere.
@LEGOMadness 9am should be OK. The pedestrian crossing point is close to the Duke of York monument
7:34 what is the name of the song that is played?
Company Marches of 1st Battalion Irish Guards (an arrangement of traditional Irish tunes: The Star of the County Down-The Holy Ground-The Boys of Wexford-Green Glens of Antrim-The South Down Militia)
Found film quality very poor 😢😢😢
Why are the Micks providing the escort when they've done so already in 2022, every Guards regiment troops the colour once every seven years why is it not the Grenadiers, it was the Welsh Guards last year.

Too many beards!
I agree. Beards look out of place with the uniforms! OK, for the Navy, though.👋🇨🇦
Wish I was home in the UK right now with all that going on!❤🇬🇧
[part 2/2]
If you want to see why beards and guardsmen go well together, take a good long look at those British Foot Guards and line infantry troopers from the Crimean War. Granted, the style of their uniforms at the time lend themselves to it ('it', being, also having beards) However, another factor is how the modern British Guards don't wear backpacks and all the other equipment the guards _used_ to parade with, until the middle of the 20th century. In my opinion, they just look a lot more 'balanced' with more bags and equipment on (it might be awkward for some movements and it might be unpopular with the guardsmen, so who knows) But combined with their Lee-Enfield rifles, long weapons compared to the bullpups they carry now, they looked _very smart_ with their beards and moustaches.
It's just a matter of selecting the right combinations of equipment, accoutrements and what I believe, should be ceremonial weapons. For instance, in the USA, there are units which practice with wooden rifles (e.g. the US Marines) and rifle drill, doing fancy twirling motions and demonstrations with their old looking, classic aesthetic, wooden rifles. And that makes sense. The modern British guardsmen look slightly to be missing something. In my view, it's the following:
1 - Enough white leather webbing; they, to my eyes, just look a bit too reliant on the tunic whereas it shouldn't just be a white belt to offset the tunic.
2 - Lee-Enfield rifles for parade (I believe these would be a much better sight on parade than the bullpups), they just are a lot nicer to look at and much taller, cutting a striking outline with the sword bayonets attached as well: NOTE: the old Lee-Enfield Mark I-III star, would be as tall or slightly taller than the average guardsman or infantry trooper carrying it in WWI, when the bayonet was affixed; putting into perspective, what it was they were dealing with, firing a rifle basically as big as them by height, in trench warfare conditions)
I would acknowledge that, of course, there are no longer a standard collection of Lee-Enfields at parade standard all looking necessarily identical, though so many Lee-Enfields were made, and used for so long (tens of millions of units) that there are still a lot knocking around today globally. It wouldn't be that difficult to get a batch remade, by the Royal Armouries, either; with the the white leather shoulder strap underslung between rings either, making the rifle look even more beautiful on parade) I'm sure the Royal Armouries will have plenty of old originals in storage. They are just so, so much better looking.
And by the same logic of the guards using uniforms for ceremonial purposes, why can't they have ceremonial rifles? Just because Lee-Enfields will probably never see combat again (at least in the hands of the British Army) it doesn't mean they can't still be used for ceremonial purposes. Yet again, some know-it-all Penfold character a long time ago in some high place of authority, probably just fobbed off the Lee-Enfield, in favour of using newer rifles, for the sake of 'modernity', but then forgot that the Lee-Enfield was just the best aesthetic option they ever came up with.
Varnished, polished, wooden dominated rifles always look better on parade. Always. It's not even close. The bullpups they carry now look uncomfortably and awkwardly stunted and small for parade duties (as if they are putting a lot of effort into not dropping them in hand, because they are just slightly awkward) The long rifles would be no problem in that regard. Beautiful in the hand. Personal in feeling and classic in their aesthetic.
3 - Backpacks/haversacks with their belt and webbing. British guardsmen in British Pathe film reels clearly continued to wear their backpacks and side bags for a long time. In my opinion, these just look much smarter. There is something oddly empty looking about the guardsman now, looking like they are too 'top heavy' with their bearskins and having something missing in between their waist and shoulders/up to their necks.
It honestly seems to be the fact they aren't wearing enough webbing or backpacks any more. Apologies if not all of my accoutrement related wording isn't the absolutely correct terminology. There'll be a specific name for the models of these patterns of webbing and bags they were wearing proudly in the 19th and 20th centuries. To my eyes, it balances out their uniforms. Again, take a good long look at the Crimean War veteran photos. They were tough as nails but still looked very smart, even with long beards and dirtied uniforms.
4 - Beards. Smartly maintained and trimmed if necessary. If everyone of them wore beards, it'd be even less of an issue for those that don't like them, because at least then, they'd be literally, 'uniform' in all sporting mid-length to long beards. The ones today growing beards out, look more conspicuous precisely _because_ most of the other guardsmen just don't. In my view, they should all be encouraged to grow beards. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is masculine.
There'd have to be policies against scruffy beards or goatees etc (only being allowed to have full beards kept in check) Part of that 'keeping in check' is why they haven't done this, because it's a pain to keep on top of, but they could easily figure it out and look smart with relatively little effort. They would certainly spend much longer on polishing their boots to perfection than they ever could on their theoretical beards, so yeah. Why not? Again, if they ticked these 4 boxes I've outlined, then they'd look great again.
P.S. - Don't get me wrong, they _still_ look mighty sharp and smart looking even now, but in my opinion, their forebears in an elder era just look much smarter still, with their Lee-Enfields, backpacks, webbing and other accessories/accoutrements. And beards can work with that all combined together. It's just that, they look so bereft of their other uniform items currently. The tunics and belts aren't enough on their own, to offset the large bearskins. Just my two pence (and I make it go far! lol)
why are all british parades so awful
From a Russian quite funny 😁
@@mikehull5042 At least our troops can keep a straight line, and are in time with each other. Can't say the same for the bri'ish ones.
@@Otereshchenko lol. You need a proper job. Wasted ya comedian 😆
@@mikehull5042 Unspeakable cope
@@Otereshchenko hahaha whatever mate
The drills that bad now the only thing that looks worse is a fat woman in jeans 😅😅😊
This looks like little stupid cartoons
Just what do you mean by that?
No need to watch if you get upset
Go and watch some actual cartoons then. And when you grow up maybe you’ll appreciate things more.
@@agadoin oooooh I say
And you would certainly know what stupid cartoons look like.
