You ladies should react to the Falkland Island war of 1982,
The Falkland islands are over sea British territory. That was invaded by the Argentine army ,
Our lady prime minister Margaret Thatcher sent our marines 800 miles to take back our island and protect our civilians,
Good video you ladies stay safe 👍🇬🇧
In total contrast have you looked at the US Marines Silent Drill Platoon? Excellent precision work.
They were in New York a few weeks ago with the queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier. That might interest you. November 12 is my birthday to.
Are you familiar with the Gurkhas? Very important part of the British military (from Nepal). Some of them escorted the Queen at her funeral. Def worth a look. They are elite soldiers 😁 I’ll see if I can find a link
It happens every 2 years on Horseguards Parade, I went to the 2018 one, but was cancelled in 2020, it won’t happen again until 2024
I'm 18 years deep UK infantry and I'm not ashamed to say nobody does the drums better than the UK Marines, Those men handle a rifle just as well when needed and are always humble. Top blokes.
Remembrance Day is actually on 11/11. We have remembrance Sunday where we have parades, it's the closest Sunday to the 11th.
Thank you I was wondering about that. Having been born and gown up in Britain, Nov 11th was / is always Remembrance Day with poppies. My Dad was
a Royal Marines Commando in WW2
We have a minutes silence on the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. Very touching 😢
@@ladykaycey 2 minutes silence. By royal proclamation King George V, on 7 November 1919
@@stuartsmith7907 you know I wrote 2 minutes then thought , I'm mixing that up with something else and changed it to 1. Thanks for the correction 🙂
@@ladykaycey 👍
As a Brit I'm very proud of the Marines and other services. So glad you're enjoying watching them marching.
We were there for it, in the stands on Horse Guards, even more special as our youngest was part of the RN Honour Guard czcams.com/video/QLbq3D-RW6E/video.htmlsi=WQyAlPesqOiPHvIc
My brother was in air force he loved every thing about it . I am from uk and proud of my country..Love he videos .
After 36 years service, I left in 2020... I still get chills when my brothers and sisters are on parade. The absolute best.
Screamer
Thank you for all you did for us🇬🇧
They're freaking awesome! ❤
Bless you.
Many thanks for your service!
It's a shame so many young in our country are no longer proud to be British! We were brought up to be proud of our country , respect our royal family, and be respectful to all .
It's the same here. We understand
That's because of the school's.
I’m 22 and extremely proud to be English!!!
Blame the wokist schools and universities.
Make it’s because we recognise that the UK has become a haven of hatred and bigotry. Many of us in the Celtic nations also see ‘British’ as a synonym for ‘English’.
I have to be biased because I'm British but our forces are some of the finest in the world it also makes me proud to have allies with our american brothers and sisters.🇬🇧💗🇺🇸
@@julesmarwell8023 we'll never forget about our Australian cousins💗
I agree they are the finest they are the best of us , but I have to mention our Gurkhas who have fought beside us for 200 yrs. Mighty warriors , fearless and loyal . I would love to see Natasha and Debbie react to something to do with the Gurkhas .
🇺🇸🇬🇧god bless them all xx
@Alan Hilton I myself have felt honoured to have served with many of our fellow friends mostly including USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, all of Scandinavia, the European Union and rest of Europe and a host of nations
@@julesmarwell8023👍💯
I'm a former Royal Marine, and when you pass out of training, they have the Royal Marines Band there to march you on and off the parade ground and to perform while the Kings Squad performs a small drill display. Having them play sooo close is absolutely awesome and always sends a tingle down the spine. (And glad you girls like them)
P.S. Did you know the Royal Marines Band played the introduction to Gerry Anderson's 1960's Thunderbirds show? Listen to that if you want a bit of a thrill :) )
Have a most excellent day now.
Royal Marines, to your duties, quick March....
The Royal Marines , as always perfection
God save the King! 🇬🇧 💪 🔥
Proud to have served in the British Royal Marines Band from 1984-1994 ❤🇬🇧
My 2 grandfathers served in the Royal Marines in WW2 and members of both Paternal & Maternal family served with the Marines going back to at least the begining of the last Century. And nobody does it better than the Royal Marines.
I am 81 now, but have aching memories of marching behind these wonderful guys. I could have marched for ever!
I still watch them whenever I can and, although I also love our other military bands, I think these musicians are the best in the world.
Since you were upset that the video came to an end, there is a video on CZcams which shows the whole ceremony of Beating the Retreat, which I am sure you would enjoy.
Mind you, it is over and hour long! Just imagine performing that in the heat of the day as well.
Awesome.
Thank you for your love and respect.
I was infantry, but I'm so proud of these boys! terrific!
As a former Royals Marines Commando" Bootneck" We are all very proud of our "Bandies" We are all part of The Corps of His Majesty's Royal Marines. Which is broken down into HM Bandservice Royal Marines, HM Corps of drums Royal Marines, and the fighting arm of the Corps, HM Royal Marines Commandos. The members of the bandservice do undertake military training as well as their musical training, after successfully completed this they can apply for Commando selection and win The coverted Green Beret. I really enjoy your enthusiasm when you are reviewing military content. Par Mare Par Terram.
Ditto Royal.
I absolutely agree - former RM 1966 -> 1990.........🇬🇧 ⚓ ⚔👍!!!
Wow, the way they marching the street is amazing and they deserve great respect for British people because they are Royal Marines Commando
Watch Remembrance Sunday & the Royal festival of Remembrance from The Royal Albert Hall. 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
My little cousin is right there. Royal marine band. Very proud of her 🙏
Love how more confident you are both now in front of the camera and your brilliant personalities are showing.
I have many vetrans in my family, but the one that gets me the most is my grandads dad. He was a first mate in the royal navy and was blown up by a German bomb in ww2. My great grandma who I'm named after was pregnant with my grandad at that time and already had two young boys. he was only 30 when he died and never got to see my grandad before he died, my heart brakes for my grandma for having two boys and being pregnant and loosing her husband and for my grandad for never even being held by his father. He has never complained or really even mentioned it, but I remember after doing our family tree showing him the ship his dad served on, some photos I've found and when I showed his his cremates he chocked up which kills me until this day. What our servicemen and women do and their families sacfrice should never be forgotten. I am incredibly proud of my great grandad for saving our country from tyranny.
I'm Proud to be British Asian (mixed race) enjoyed the precision of the marching & drums ♔♬🎶🦁😎peace &respect !💛🕶
I am so proud of our military traditions. When I was a little kid my grandmother used to take me to The Royal Tournament at Earls Court (sadly Earls Court is no more and our Royal Tournament was dumped forever by the Labour Party 😡). Such a shame and a big mistake because it was probably one of the best recruitment tools. Within said Tournament would be something called The Field Gun Race done by the bravest and strongest lads in the Royal Navy as it was pretty dangerous to say the least but a huge source of pride and true brotherhood to be picked for the team. Quite a few recording on YT so just put "field gun race" in the search. It's absolutely mental to watch!
Ladies, your Love and Respect not only for our Military but our Country as a whole, is to be truly applauded and would put one or two of our own To Shame. There are some very good videos available on YT that shows the selection process that young men have to go through to become a Royal Marine. 32 Weeks of sheer Grit and determination, well worth a watch 😊💞
Thank you so much for those beautiful comments we love you guys too..always stronger together...for me the greatest generation ever.. were those British,American,Canadian,Australian, New Zealand and many other nations who stormed the beaches of Normandy...for our tomorrows,,
God bless you!!
We are so proud of our country 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My nephew is an officer in The Royal Marine Commandos and when I saw him marching down The Mall (in front of Buckingham Palace) I thought I would burst with pride.
I have march behind this band for nearly 56 years as a servicing member and a Royal Marine Veteran, it does not how old you are or how long ago you severed, the sound of the band makes the years fall away and you grow 2inch In height
OARMAARM ( Once A Royal Marine Always A Royal Marine )
Thank you for your service Sir 😀✌️
God bloody bless you Tony.
Actual Remembrance Day in the UK is the 11th of November, (the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month), but is traditionally celebrated on the nearest Sunday to that date, known as Remembrance Sunday.
There are more than 200 musicians marching here so keeping them all synchronised is superb. The leopard print cover is basically padding to help take the weight of the bigger, heavier drums. The really early versions of these were actual Leopard skins but the current ones are man made and use the pattern because it is tradition.
That's what I said
I served 12 years in H.M Royal Engineers and I have had the pleasure of marching behind this band. The overwhelming sense of duty and pride is indescribable. Thank you both from a British Veteran... You've made my day!!!
My dad was a marine in WW2 and my son has just served 12 years as a marine. Very Very proud 👏👏
And rightly so!.
The Royal marine Band is the best military band in the world. Bar none!.
The leopard skin is worn by the bass drummer to prevent the sheer weight of the drum causing damage to the uniform and to provide some protection by spreading the weight over a larger area. Used not just by the Royals but Army bands too.
Thanks for the information! ❤️❤️
Also protects the drum from the buttons on the tunic.
Actually, the tiger / leopard skins are a throwback to the early days of British military bands when the drummers were often Africans and would wear tribal costume (back then regimental bands were all civilian volunteers and dressed to impress). It's now carried on as a tradition.
The bass drummer wears the tiger skin. The tenor drummers (usually percussionists) wear leopard skins. The skins were originally worn as a warning to the enemy as "look what we can do"...
I an so emotional watching our fabulous Royal Marines SO PROUD my heart swells with pride God bless them all ❤️
My son is a Captain in the RM band service, during October did 2 weeks in New York doing several gigs. As an ex Royal Marine I am proud of what he and the band service do. Great music
Thank you ladies…..proud Florida Brits. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿💪
loved your coverage of are queens funeral, so emotional, that was the first time i watched your blog, keep going Natasha.@ Debbie XX
My Dad was Royal Navy and he loved military band music. He was fond of the massed pipes and drums bands of Scotland, but for him the sheer military precision of the Royal Marines Band(s) was pre-eminent. He swore no one could march and play with greater precision, pomp, pride than The Royal Marine Band(s) {Son look how straight those lines are}
My office is near the Royal Marine music school. I get to see and hear these guys and girls regularly.
Very lucky!!
Love your reactions and when you cover the Royal Marines I get an extra buzz. My grandfather was RM Bandmaster in WWII and I was in the RM cadet band in Portsmouth when I was a kid. Got to perform with the RM band in many occasions. Happy memories.
Always love watching & listening to the Royal Marines.
I'm a Royal Navy Veteran and marched with the Royal Marines during my 12 years in the Military.
Of COURSE it makes us proud! When I was a Student Nurse, we had the Royal Marine's DANCE Band, at our Hospital Annual Ball....😁💕
My dad was a British WW2 Commando, part of the Spearhead. My mum was a Teacher and drove an ambulance in occupied Belgium. They met during the liberation and married shortly after. Yes, I'm that old 🧓. I loved this video, even though we were getting further away as the video went on. Thankyou.
Love that when they turn the corner the inside files draw ahead as they travel a shorter distance, the outside files fall behind as they are going further, then they catch up all whilst still in step magic🎉
I have too admit. I love the Drums. They give me goosebumps, massive Goosebumps every time. 😮😢❤❤❤🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Hi Natasha, hi Debbie, absolutely brilliant video today. This kind of thing always gets me so emotional especially at this time of year leading up to the 11th of November. I’ve been busy fund raising for The Poppy Appeal as this charity is close to my heart ❤️
Seeing this makes me proud to be British .I have seen this a few times .The sound is amazing as it is amplified by some of the grand buildings along the route. Keep up the good work.
I would go to England just to see these guys perform
The proudest moment of my life was my passing out parade. Marching to a military band playing your regimental music. Made me feel a foot taller. ❤
Well done girls. Another brilliant video, and thanks for putting our Royal Marines on again. They are the best! Others have told you about the Remembrance Service being held on the closest Sunday to Armistice Day (11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month). That was when the 'guns fell silent' in WW1. Sadly, this years wi be the first without our dear Queen attending. ( believe she only missed two over her 70 years of Service and Duty). Her poppy wreath that she always laid, was always the first of the Ceremony. Another video that may interest you is the documentary made at the time, showing how the 'Unknown Warrior' was brought home from France, and buried in Westminster Abbey. It's a fascinating story of how the 'warrior' was chosen, transported across to the UK, and given the highest Ceremony, and being buried where so many Kings, Queens, and many important people from our history are buried. If you're interested, for those who don't know, whenever there's been televised Ceremonies etc held in Westminster Abbey, many that were attended by our late Queen, if you watch as she begins the walk from the door, down the aisle she had to walk round a plot, with a black marble stone, right in the middle of the floor surrounded by poppies. That is the actual tomb of the Unknown Warrior. It was placed in that spot so that anyone (including visitors) has to see and recognise it. For any visitors to London a visit Westminster Abbey is well worth it. There is so much of our history in there, including the tomb of William the Conqueror. Sorry, l've rambled on a bit.
And the bouquet of every royal bride is brought to the Abbey to lie on the tomb. It was started by the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother when, as Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon about to walk up the aisle to marry the then Duke of York, she laid her bouquet down in memory of her brother who had died in WW1. For the centenary of the tomb, the late Queen Elizabeth was there as a replica of her own wedding bouquet was laid on the tomb. It's the Unknown Warrior rather than soldier because the casualties from the Royal Flying Corps/Royal Air Force and from Royal Navy and Royal Marine contingents fighting on the front (eg as artillery) were also laid to rest in the same cemeteries so the Warrior could be from any of the three services.
@@jacquieclapperton9758 Well put Jaquie, but l think you mean't to say that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon placed her wedding bouquet on the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, after her wedding, not before 😂. One other thing, is that that is the only tomb in the Abbey, that no one is allowed to walk on. All the other tombs are level with the flagstones (floor) around them, and people can walk over them, although, when we've visited, out of respect, people don't.
@@mintyfrompolo why would I say something that I know to be incorrect? It is widely known that it was before she walked up the aisle. The Royal Family's own website has this to say: "As Lady Elizabeth entered Westminster Abbey on her wedding day, the Royal bride stopped to lay her flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. The gesture was in remembrance of her own brother, Fergus, who died at the Battle of Loos in 1915 and to pay tribute to the millions of others killed and injured in World War I."
It ALWAYS makes me so proud of My Country when others admire us . Thankyou girls . We will have to make you honorary Brits. My father was in the Royal Artillery, his brother was a para . My mother's brother was in the Welsh Guards and my 2 brothers were in the RAF. Lol
I'm an RAF kid and prefer their bands, but the Royal Marines are bloody good too.
Nice ta see you Girls enjoying some Great Music from one of the Worlds Military Bands ever, one Vid ya might want to react to is The Royal Marines Band in NYC
Hi ladies. In the UK Remembrance day is always held on the nearest Sunday to the eleventh (Remembrance Sunday) regardless of the date. Armistice day,"when the guns fell silent", is the 11th of November.
@@gigsnsht Yes but November the eleventh 1918 is the day when hostilities ceased hence Armistice day is 11/11/1918.
@@gigsnsht I'm really concerned about you as you seem very paranoid about my comments. What frightens me is you don't appear to have a real name. Been playing scrabble have you? If you can't see the logic in my statements...well I'm sorry.No more please as I have a life to get on with.
Hello ladies. It fills my heart with pride when I see my country in all its glory. Take care. Jane in New Zealand
This is just the RM Band marching to Horse Guards Parade to do Beat the Retreat. There is a video of the actual Ceremony on utube, you really do need to review the actual ceremony. We'll done ladies from a very proud Brit ex Royal Navy Serviceman.
Grandad was a Royal Marine Bandmaster and as he died before I was born, I never met him, but I've heard him play. HMV made a record of him playing as guest soloist on the clarinet in a classical piece with the orchestra of Copenhagen. He taught at the Portsmouth RM School of Music and as at that time Queen Victoria was in residence at Osborne House just across the water on the Isle of Wight, I am told that Her Majesty used to request his presence when being entertained musically by a small group of Royal Marine bandsmen. That gives you a good Idea of the standard that they had to achieve to become a member of the band, and they have to be competent on more than one instrument apparently. I'm proud of them all and appreciate very much your enthusiasm for them.
Wonderful to come across this - especially on Remembrance Sunday. I did my bit with the cornet in the local silver band at the local war memorial today but obviously we weren't in the same league as these wonderful musicians. One of the highlights of my career in the Royal Navy was marching in front of a Royal Marines band from Horse Guards Parade through Central London in 1981 as part of the street lining for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. And then we got to do it all again at the end of the ceremony as we marched back to Horse Guards. Thanks for sharing and love your comments!
I grew up in a town in Kent called Deal, at that time (70s) the home of the Royal Marines School of Music. We used to hear them rehearsing and to watch larger practices and occasional processions through the town. The School moved some time ago but the bands still return to play each year. The noise of the massed bands would carry across the streets, very powerful and evocative. The band members are basically all professional musicians who occasionally do soldiering.
Thank you as made me smile after 20 years of service and so gad to see and bless you both and the USA
Remembrance day Sunday 13 November this year, Armistice Day as always 11 November at 1100 a 2 minute silence. They also lay a wreath at the the platform of one of the London stations, can't remember which one, where the unknown warrior arrived from France .
The Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines, HM Band Plymouth are located at HMS Raleigh, the band practice rooms are opposite the sickbay, Music whilst you work, my personal favourite Sunset putting the King to bed.
Victoria 🙂
@@keelbyman thank you, much appreciated
Victoria station where the body of the unknown warrior rest for the night.
@@hughfranklin4002 thanks I knew he rested over night just could not remember the station
My dad was 42 commando regiment or her majesty’s Royal Marines
his father was in the Royal Air Force.
My other grand dad was a pilot in a Lancaster bomber .
His father my great granddad was a high ranking officer in ww1.
As for me I’m was in the cubs scouts and now I’m a test pilot for airfix… 😮
hi ladies, I'm a newbie watcher, cool, keep going, XX
Thanks for liking the Royal Marine commandos. best Regiment in the world. 💪
I am loving your "British pride".... 😚 My attention keeps being drawn to their white-gloved hands moving in unison so well.....mesmerising.
Yes we are very proud of all our forces.!!
Still remember my passing out parade as Captain guard in the Royal Navy in 1979. The music made be proud, so did my mum and dad.
Amazing how they turned that corner,split and came together again in perfect time. Love it!
i love that you honour both holidays and the fact you get to share and celebrate your birthday during it, is amazing!
I love my Britishness being from NORTHERN IRELAND BEING PROUD TO BE BRITISH AND PROUD 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is certainly perfect marching to the beat.
My favourite march played by the Royal Marines is called HM Jollies.
Nobody does pomp and ceremony like us brits,glad you are enjoying it ,will never forget the respect and love from you two ladies when our beloved Queen died ,thank you ❤👍🇬🇧
Absolutely agree, you two ladies were as choked up by the death of her late majesty 👑 as we 🇬🇧were her in Britain. I reckon you qualify as honorary British ladies for your love and enthusiasm🇬🇧
Il second that 👍🇬🇧
That’s the march from the barracks to Horse Guards where beating the retreat takes place ❤ great reaction
Love this and your reaction!
I lived near a Royal Marine Barracks and us kids would hang off the railings watching the band practise.
They would sometimes march down the road to the church and we would run and tell our mothers. All the women would rush out to watch them. A great treat even as a small kid I loved them.
I grew up and married a marine, but that's another story!
Still get an enormous thrill watching them.
I passed out as a Royal Marine in ‘91. Instead of the 2 weeks guard duty at CTCRM I went to London as a marker for the band on Horse Guards Parade. We had to march out into the middle of Horse Guards Parade, then split off to our positions around the perimeter carrying a standard before the bands arrived then not move a muscle while the band performed for the Queen. You really need to see them for real, videos do not do it justice. Still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I see them perform.
The 11th of the 11th month Armistice was called at the 11th minute of that day when hostilities ceased in 1918 .Remembrance Sunday is the nearest Sunday to that date.
I love our military; I love the military…. God bless the USA and UK relationship. Thank God we’re allies; so much the better for it. Great to see you both enjoy and loving the marching and music from our Royal Marines. Great video!!! Thank you 🙏
I’ve been to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham palace. That’s as close to this as I’ve got. Much love xx
Brilliant. Ive seen Beating The Retreat and Trooping of the Colour when my dear late cousin took part as a musician in the band of the Scots Guards. I'm ex WRAF myself and love all this.
Brit Vet here Ladies, many thanks for your kind words, and yes, we are very proud of our Marines, and all other arms of the Miitary!!
Snap, my daughter is also a November 12th baby, she is immensely proud that her birthday is in the middle of the remeberance period and is looking forward to parading in her Marine Blues at the local (Portsmouth) remeberance service the Sunday.
For clarification remeberance day is also 11th November here but the official services at the cenotaph and local memorials are always the first Sunday after the 11th in this case the 13th.
15:42 That’s the flag of Malaysia, a nation within the British Commonwealth, it’s easily mistaken.. however, there are indeed numerous US flags scattered along this route; thanks for the video 😄
we love you too ladies. You are so respectful of our British traditions. Sure you both have British genes flowing through
your veins !
Also check out " The Royal Marines returning to barracks 2014 " If you had chills watching the Marines marching to Beating retreat on Horse Guards . Get strapped into your chairs ready for the return where you will burst with pride to see something very special .
The reason the drummers get the solo bits ... You try playing a trumpet marching at that speed
It’s the sound when you hear the band live that was always most impressive to me, so powerful and wonderful. Ex Royal Navy here.
Just found your channel ,great chemistry between you guys, a breath of fresh air.
Beating Retreat is a military ceremony dating to 17th-century England and was first used to recall nearby patrolling units to their castle.
There's nothing like marching behind a Royal Marine Band. I did a ship's recommissioning parade with them there; even in the pouring rain it was awesome. Our unit was in the next door building to the band so we would hear them practicing all the time. The RM Band Service provides music for the Royal Navy and was the first section of the RM to accept women on the same terms as the men.
As an former naval nurse, member of the QUEEN ALEXANDER ROYAL NAVAL NURSING SERVICE. I was present at a few RM band performances. Full of pride and emotion. Sunset and evening hymn always brings tears . I will be at the Royal Albert Hall remembrance service Saturday 12th November where they always attend and preform . This evening is attended by His Majesty the King. My husband and I are so looking forward to it . Following morning we will take part in the march past at the cenotaph. He will be with his Falkand war veteran platoon. Thank you for showing so much respect for the British forces. 🇬🇧
I am a former QARNN too. Lucky you to be at the RAH onSaturday.
Rememberance Sunday is the Sundat closest to Nov 11th. Armistice day Nov 11 is still marked in the uk by a minutes silence. Councils usually mark it by setting off signal flares with an explosive firework to signal the start and end of the silence and some shops request the shoppers join them in a minutes silence to pay our respects to the fallen.
Thank you both for respecting our love for each other UK,🇺🇸 forever xx
As children our parents took us into the city during school holidays so have seen this many times, the feeling you get when the drums beat is amazing. You should take a look at the lord Mayors show and remembrance Sunday. Great again girlies just love the reactions and your smiles. Remembrance day is 11th day of the 11th month and a 2 mins silence at 11 o'clock remembrance Sunday is the closest Sunday so will be Friday 13th November. Xx
Your infectious enthusiasm is a delight. You do more for "Hands across the sea" than any politician!
just to clarify, Remembrance Day is the 11th and there's usually minute or two silence observed. Remembrance Sunday is the closest Sunday to the 11th, when we have the main observance at the cenotaph in Whitehall with a service, national silence, march past.
I love the percussion elements and the precision, but I have to hand even more respect to the brass element who not only need the marching and instrumental precision, but also need to have perfect breath control while marching and playing. Gobsmackingly good.
Love how Debbie is relaxing and showing why Natasha fell in love with her, Debbie you are hilarious and adorable 😄 as you know I'm a military kid so I love this 😀
@Natasha & Debbie
I’m so glad you enjoyed this, I myself am a former Royal Marine Officer and served 15 years from 1998 to 2013, I can’t express the words to explain how much it means to me to see our fellow servicemen and women in the Royal Marines Band.
Bless you Raymond.
This was wonderful, just wonderful. Thank you both for this. I was taken to the 'Beating Retreat' Ceremony in my mid twenties, sat in the grandstand on a bright, sunny, warm day and was simply awed by their display. I have never forgotten it and, yes, I was so very proud that day and feel it again, watching this.
Morning ladies. Another cracking video it's set me up for the day. It's 7 32am here. Greetings from Birmingham UK.👍
