  • Massed bands of HM Royal Marines march up The Mall after performing Beating Retreat 2022.
    For those wondering why the band stopped half-way up the mall, their coaches blocked the road ahead of them towards Buckingham Palace.

      @@eleenprosser1577 Well Eleen - suspect the low spectator numbers were probably due to two things 1. it was VERY hot in London! and 2. this performance had been delayed for several weeks due to a stand collapsing. Hope you have watched the Mountbatten Festival of Music by the Royal Marines on CZcams
      The 2022 Concert was amazing and you would enjoy it and the one before - played to an empty Hall due to covid. They are ALL highly trained on at least 3 instruments AND trained medics - besides being very fit too! Nothing like them - anywhere.

    I went to the Beating of the Retreat at Horseguards many years ago and have always wanted to go again.
    They are the best in the world, nobody can march and play like the Royal Marines, so smart.
