Trooping the Colour was an old pre-battle tradition dating from the 18th century. The flag would be paraded in front of the regiment to ensure that the soldiers would recognize it. It was to be protected from capture and would mark the rallying point after the battle. British regiments took their regimental colours into battle up until the 1870s.
The present day ceremony is put on for the Queen (or King) to celebrate her official birthday.
It used to be their birthday but Edward 7th moved it to summer because his birthday was in winter.
It actually dates from 1660 when Charles 2nd was king!
The colours are the battle honours of the particular regiment carrying our the parade.
This is one of the many things that make me proud to be British
Bro you should be really proud reasons we are using your language international and you Colonize Various Country Cool Bro
@@pokemongamer9908 Does the US army not have a similar tradition? Do the regiments of the US army not have regimental flags?
It's one of the most badass things you have
@@duncanmacpherson2013 who made the America army wanker Scotland
@@duncanmacpherson2013 no
Considering the size of our country, our military ain't big, but the men and woman who serve as you can see are well disciplined, and well trained ready to defend our nation, hell that's why most of the world base there military training of us because were the best, just look at the last 1000 years of our history, we ain't gonna take crap, and we never will surrender 😉
The "helmets" are bearskins (Canadian black bears) and the Grenadier Guards were awarded the right to wear bearskins as a battle honour for their service at Waterloo, where they repulsed Napoleon's Imperial Guard (who wore bear skins). That honour was later extended to all the Regiments of the Guards Division (Coldstream, Welsh, Scots and Irish Guards).
Before Waterloo the were known as The first regiment of foot guards, when they defeated the Grenadiers of the imperial guard they took their name and bearskin
@@peterbrown1012 They actually faced the Chasseurs of the Old Gaurd, but it’s a bit late now. Plus The Chasseur Guard’s doesn’t have the same ring.
As opposed to 'Busby's' which are the smaller versions worn by, for example, the Kings Troop , Royal Artillery!
@@johnsanders2266 Oh yeah. My dad once mortified me by asking a Guardsman about his "busby" before I could stop him. Aargh.
@@peterbrown1012 They did not defeat the Grenadiers of the imperial guard but the middle guard of the imperial guard. Its a big difference as the middle guard was not the most elite. The grenadiers were defeated later on near La belle alliance after refusing to surrender, there is a monument to them at near there, as well as a mass grave.
My old regiment, I only did the troop once in 1987 and it was hard work I can tell you, weeks and weeks of rehearsing .
Wich regiment? Grenadier Guards?
Thank you for your service. I wanted to join the rifles, but after watching trooping the colour I now want to join the grenadier guards
You have done this Nation a Great Service, Hand over My Heart in saying "Thank You"
Stay Safe
Kevin adamson u put in one hell of a graft, much respect brer 🙂
@@Tobias1985 no Scots.
These men aren't just ceremonial extras these are front line combat soldiers. These Guards will have been to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Well except maybe for the musicians
@@kenlandon6130 Band members are medics and first responders in a battle situation. They will also have been in combat.
They are trained as medics, so they were there too.
@@friendsforlife4581 Cool. I never knew that.
@@kenlandon6130you are wrong they undergo the same military training so may be deployed in areas of conflict
Wow! I've never seen someone so 'underwhelmed' as your girlfriend.
she was bored as hell,!!
She's always like that.
Well I am a brit n its all pretty tedious and boring if you have no connection, and I find it boring even though I am a brit
..am sure you would be the same watching Chinas annual military parade...😊
@@Kernewik101 I've watched China's military parade a few times it's quite impressive.😂😂😂
If you like a parade I recommend the Spanish Foreign Legion.
Power mincing with weapons.
And cute bugles.
The 'Colours' is the flag of the regiment, on each regimental flag is listed (in embroidered pennants) all the battles they have fought in over hundreds of years. I think some regimental flags (colours) have survived numerous battles and are only 'replaced' (with exact copies made to specific design) when they are beyond repair. So a young soldier could be carrying the same regimental flag that his great, great grandfather carried into battle 150 years before...
The Colour is the flag colour of each battalion/ regiment, each colour has the battle honours of said battalion/regiment on it. As the British Army has become smaller and smaller, each Guards regiment has almost become a one Battalion Regiment.
The use of the Colour and trumpets on the battlefield goes back even longer as they obviously didn't have radios. The Colour was the rallying point in battle for the soldiers. Commands were given this way in the chaos of battle.
This makes me proud to be british RULE BRITANNIA 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
God, I love my Country. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
And it's not a helmet, it's a Bearskin. And yes, it is real Bear. These traditions go back hundreds and hundreds of years ago and each Guards regiment takes it in turn to "Troop their Colour" in front of the Monarch. Coldstreams, Grenadier, Scots, Welsh and Irish and you also have the Household Cavalry which is made up of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals.
Thanks for uploading this video, it’s great to see my old Regiment the 1st Battalion Scots Guards.
You missed out the best part where they soldiers march before The Queen eyes right and the flourishing of the colour before The Queen and she bows her head in acknowledging the battle honours.
Keep an eye on military parades like this in 2022. It's a huge celebration year as the Queen has been on the throne for 70 years.
A lot of guards have fainted aswell during the changing of the colour, the dedication from these men is astounding. Respect from Scotland 🏴 ,.
P.s. hope everyone is hanging on during the covid epidemic, I'm hoping to break out the street parties when it's gone 🤣
Respect to you also from Nottingham. We are really ready for that kind of party you mention. Stay safe in Scotland and keep well.
Went up to London in 86 to watch Trooping the Colour. The Queen was I think mounted on Burmese, it was crowded & the most majestic event I've ever witnessed. All those years ago. Same Queen though.
The rifle they are using is a bullpup rifle called the SA80. British Army Standard Issue rifle given to most if not all troops in the British Army and it's Regiments.
Hi guys,watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇬🇧
Unlike many countries, British Regiments - of which there were/are many - are formed in battalions; so for example, if you were to join a particular regiment, say, The Seaforth Highlanders, you would be allocated to the 1st or 2nd Battalion, and that would be your Family home throughout your service (unless of course you transferred to a different regiment. Each Battalion has its own Colours, as does the regiment itself - so a reiment with two battalions would have three sets of Colours, the third one being The Queen's Colours. The respect given to The Colour is not something anyone in or outside the battalion would dare challenge as it is the pride of the unit - the head of "your" family - and not to be shamed or disrespected in any way.
Also standard for all Commonwealth Countries
Those "helmets" are real bearskin taken from Napoleon when he was defeated.
Edit: The weapon is a Bullpup L85A2 also known as the SA80A2 Bullpup being that you have the compactness of an SMG(Sub Machine Gun) so all the working parts are in the butt of the weapon while keeping of standard assault will a weapon like the L85A2 it allows troop to move around corners and clear buildings easier and move in and out of vehicles quicker the only reason not alot of militaries use this type of configuration is because it tends to have problems Vs use a standard long rifle the first iteration of the SA80A2 had alot of problem with being completely unreliable but it was all fixed with the A2.
it also kills your shoulder with how heavy it is and pretty awkward to hold without a fore-grip, still love it though
Stress position.
I loved using the SA80A2......it was even better when I had the UGL (Underslung Grenade Luncher) fitted underneath.
Trooping the Colour is also known as "Queen's Birthday Parade". This parade first time was took place during the Victorian Era. So this parade was made re than a hundred years old. And the Escort for the Colour is the Squad of the Guards that have the duty to troop the colour. The Escort will change in every year both change the squad and change the Regiment.
I was at the trooping of the colour a couple of years ago,next to me were an American couple and they could not believe how magnificent the whole show was.They said they were going to bring their son the next year to see it.
Trooping the colour! Not trooping _of_ the colour.
The hats being worn are not helmets made of bear fur, called bearskins taken from the French 1st battalion of foot guards which we adopted
The rifles are the SA80 A2, the standard British army assault rifle. The black cover on the top is to protect the optical sights from damage.
"Every man thinks the less of himself for not having been a soldier" That's Johnson and I guess it applies to the poster (as it does to me). His cat-obsessed girlfriend? Meaningless.
Having obtained their colour, No. 1 Guard (formerly known as "Escort to the Colour") is now termed "Escort for the Colour."
Other way about, Daniella.
@@sirderam1 ya your right typo
You are watching the Scots Guards Trooping the Colour.This is the Queens Birthday Parade trooping, happens every year. Escort for the colour are the soldiers that accompanied the bearer to collect the standard. This standard is then presented in the next lot of marching which starts with a slow march which is then unfurled when they reach HM. The Regimental Standards carry all the locations of where a particular unit was involved in the combat arena, so they have a rich history.
If you're in uniform and the colours pass you better pay your respects. I saw a guy sat in the stands watching a rehearsal with his wife, parents and kids. The RSM shouted twice to stand up, but the guy didn't hear over the music. The RSM exploded and stuck him in jail. Never seen a whole family crying before as he was marched away. How we laughed and laughed 🤣
Nonsense.
@@Chris66able what is nonsense?
No one in the world does pomp and ceremony better than the Brits. 👍
I've done the troop 3 times I can tell you it's extremely hard work
The trooping The Colour is done on tge second Saturday in June to Honor The Queens Official Birthday.
The parade is done by the five Foot Guards Regaments
Of the Household Division. The Coldstream, Grenadier, Scotts, Welsh, And Irish .
Plus the Household Calvary. The Blues, and Royals. With The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery. The event has gone on for over 300 years .
You forgot the senior regiment of the Household Cavalry and senior regiment of the British Army, The Lifeguards.
My next-door neighbour was in the Welsh Guards - it's quite an considered an honour to take part in trooping the colour.
It is an SA80 type 3, the standard firearm for the British military.
The colour is regimental flag each gold label on the flag is the name of a battle they fought in. The trooping of the colour is to celebrate the queens official birthday and is a very personnel thank you from her to the guards where she gives a new colour (flag) to one of the regiments. The drill is not for show but the result of centuries of discipline needed to get troops around and ready for war.
Escort to the colour is exactly that. They are there to protect the colour with their lives if required. Cinque en Unum Five in One.
Believe me things do go wrong, the colour is the flag being "trooped through the ranks" so the soldiers can recognise it. Like the cat guys.
The horses do shit but it is not considered to be something that has gone wrong. In past years, when she was able, Queen Elizabeth was part of the ceremony on horseback. The ceremony dates from the 17th century but was based on troops being made aware of the sides rallying colours from medieval battles. It has been held to mark the sovereign's official birthday since 1748.
In addition to carrying the regiment's insignia it also carries the regiment's battle honours and is their war memorial.
The colour party normally has two colour sergeants marching behind the ensign or either side of him, the colour been paraded is The Regimental Colour with all battle honours on it, The Queen’s Colour is The Union Jack with some battle honours on it.
heres something that many people don`t know its not the union jack, now in 2021 there is only 1 union jack in london and thats on HMS Belfast, on a ship its a union jack but on land its a union flag, technical anal knowledge but true
Bearskins actually , not helmets designed to scare the enemy into thinking they were taller. Also if they had guns they would aim for the Bearskin rather than the face .
Trooping the Colour is an old ceremony whereby a battalion would fall in by companies and the colour-party would "troop" or march the colours through the ranks so that every man would see that the colours were intact. This was done before and after every battle.
I don't know if you Americans are familiar with a common British proverb " A cat may look at a Queen" but that handsome Yankee tabby only exercised that privilege for about 10 seconds at 1:48 before yawning and thought bubbles appeared above his head with "Right I've looked, but now I want to concentrate on getting stroked and falling asleep on top of this warm human of mine"
Clearly, he's not a monarchist( or even a meowarchist!
From someone who served in the British armed forces for 12 years, there's nothing cool about guns.
that regiment is about 350y old
I always wonder why people react to about 10 minutes of Trooping the Colour and not the entire thing. It's escort for the colour up until they take possession of Colour, then it becomes Escort TO the colour.
That rifle is called an SA80, as you see they have fixed bayonets
Although, with the rather short length of the SA80, it might seem unlikely that the fixed bayonets would ever see much use outside of ceremonial duties, in fact a bayonet charge has been seen in combat as recently as 2011 in Afghanistan when a British patrol, finding itself pinned down by a Taliban ambush, chose to break the stalemate with cold steel. Lead by their young 2 i/c, a Corporal Jones, they fixed bayonets and, with supporting fire from their colleagues, charged the enemy position. The Taliban forces chose to withdraw at this point. Cpl Jones was awarded the Military Cross for his actions. The Military Cross is the third highest honour available for actions on land (behind only the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross and the Victoria Cross).
Ashtyn, the horses frequently shite themselves! 🤣🤣🤣
cool little thing ? They have been doing this since the 17th century and maybe even earlier I think I read
Those hats are bear skins. The Royals have served in all arms of the armed forces, the Queen when she was a Princess was a driver in WWII. The Trooping of Colours celebrates the Queens birthday.
*Trooping the colour*
Not trooping _of_ the colour 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Nice "Reaction" video...........................
The rifle is an SA80
You really need to watch the Royal Navy field gun competition. As ex-Royal Artillery, I have to take my hat off to the Jack Tars.
The Trooping of the Colour has marked the official birthday of the British Sovereign for over 260 years. Over 1400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together each June in a great display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare to mark The Queen's official birthday.
*Trooping the colour*
Never, ever trooping _of_ the colour.
Trooping the colour.
The queens guard uses a SA80 assault rifle, made in the United Kingdom, also has a L85A2 variant Which is smaller
We now have the A3 variant also
@@thebritishpanda6545 yeah and the marines now are beginning to use colt c8 instead which the special forces use
Why would you not expect to still see 'things'like this?surely America is proud of their military?
Some info from a veteran.....This is the Queen inspecting her troops, not for the army or anyone else (hence Kate not being invited down.) It just happens to be on her birthday, not celebrating it as is commonly written, the palace would have a fit if you made the connection! It's not on her real birthday - just a quirk of monarchy. The Colours (the battle flag) belongs to the guard regiment guarding the palace (Coldstream, Irish,Welsh or Scots Guards normally, but they have started to use Navy recently) Getting back to the inspection, the Queen used to actually be on a horse and would inspect the men (look at Trooping the Colour 1986 or around that period.) And she would find fault with the men on parade and pass on comments to the officers accompanying her - and yes, you would be in deep doo doo if you got picked up for shoddy turn-out! It's quite common for troops to pass out. This is due to not eating breakfast, and is a chargeable offence because the Queen (traditionally) pays for the breakfast of the troops in order to stop this problem. You will sometimes see troops just stepping over the offender, and ignored until he can be carried off the parade ground. The guard regiments are Britain's finest infanteers, and the pride of Britain. Another one to look for is the Queen's Colour Squadron, if you want to see how the air force do parades. The Navy have a really tough time of it, in the Navy Gun Race, which is not for the faint-hearted!
The weapon is a SA 80
I am proud to be British!
You should really watch No 5 and 6 because during No 4 you admired the timing of the troops marching and the way they moved their weapons , in 5 and 6 they march with the colour ( flag ) first in the slow march then quick march .What will please you alot ( if not astound you ) is how they go around the corners ( in UNISON ) without bumping into eachother , plus also the household carvery goes around as well.
In battles of old there used to be a lot of smoke and noise so if men got lost they needed a rallying point so a flag was used , so what you saw was a new colour being presented along with any new battle / campaign honours ( the gold bits on the flag )
The 2020 lockdown slimmed down event was done well this year past, I think those in had three weeks parade practice to do it at social distances including a new cross manoevre
My brother in law was in the Queens Guard. He told me a story how, one hot Summer day, while on Guard duty, the metal clasp under his bear skin hat began to itch like Hell. For a moment he itched his head but happened to do just as the Queen Mother was passing by a window near him. She reported it and he ended up getting 28 days.
Lol the queen grasses on him.
@@katerinakemp5701 The Queen Mother, not the Queen.
This is an annual parade to honour the monarchs official birthday.
The purpose is showing the 'Colours,' the banner that represents the regiment, to the troops so they would recognise them on the battlefield.
Today's ceremony is highly stylised & not functionally useful anymore but it has a great moral purpose & is a great sight to watch.
The weapon is a SA80A3, or as the army designates it, a L85A3, the main issue weapon of the British armed forces.
The rifle is SA80 which is issued to British soldiers.
The Guards or wooden tops are soldiers first then ceremonial guards. So they are trained up to the standards of other line infantry Regts but not to Para Regt standards. US people pls note that few medals are awarded to British soldiers compared to US ones, as they are only awarded for being in combat ( except a few for Queen jubilee which are only bling) or long service. But yeh your gorgeous girlfriend looked really bored but a nice Puddy cat kept her busy. As someone else explained the escort to the colour are the soldiers detailed to look after the colour in battle
Whats with ashtyn's hair
Before a battle, The Colour was trooped around throughout the troops as their rallying flag. The Escort To the Colour was to prevent it being stolen. You lost the King's/Queen's Colours at your peril. It doesn't happen now but every year one regiment of foot guards has their colour trooped.
Men in combat they need to know where their command work Commander was they would put the flag where the commander was that is the color of the regiment so they would know. Down Through the Ages it became a ceremonial the trooping of the colors
the colour is the flag with all the battle honours on it
The colours are the flag of the regiment and its battle honours. Ask a us marine about the flag raised on mount souburaci in Iwo Jima in ww2 . It is the colours the flag.
Love our videos big fan
This has so much history. And we do it well Dx
It is the adoption of a new flag.
Imagine behind the queen and behind like “yes yes that my army”😂
thar weapon is the SA80 assault riffle (automatic)
If you want to know what this is about, it is about the fact that in battle each and every soldier needs to know which is his flag, ie the colour and it is trooped each year and every soldier on parade gets to know what the standard looks like and find it as a rallying point on a battlefield. Battle honours of the Regiment are also displayed on the standard and with the current conflicts going on around the world are still being added to you obviously have no military background and thats fine but your girlfriend seemed about as bored as she could possibly be. It is because of these great traditions which have been going on for centuries that makes Britain Great
Hi guys watching watch ENGLAND 🏴🇬🇧
Believe the gun is SA 80 ,flip at the beginning but we improved it to be an excellent
The gun is the SA80
The colour is the regimental flag
Proud to be British
I’ve got to ask is that a wig and do you live in a house that has wheels
one small complaint your sound is to low
What's with the syrup?
Check out.....RN Command Field Gun Competition if you wanna see the Hardest Team Sport Ever!
where have you guys been??
Colour is spelt properly 😱
It’s an annual ceremony for the monarchs official birthday
It is not 'cool',it is century's old,honouring the colours of a particular regiment
One thing the British military is very good at is march in formation.
The weapon is the SA80
these are all trained soldiers. don't be thinking this is just a spectacle
The Queen gets two birthday celebrations
The Colours are their battle honours. You might have spotted names on the flags. These were the battles that they fought at.
That’s the good thing about being a Green Jacket, our colours are our cap badge. 😉👍
And if they trooped the "colours", the whole 2 hour ceremony would be over in about 30 minutes, including the match to and from Horse Guards.
I'm surprised that they didn't dance to the british grenadiers
That poor girl, the guys thinking oh I’m paying for this later.
You missed the marchpast in slow then quick time also the mounted band and royal artiliary pulling ww1 guns which were actually used. Have a look at beating retreat 2019 thats also on utbe ok
They're not interested, Its just money, to buy more fake tits and hair. I don't think they read these comments.
The "gun" isn't a gun ...... its a rifle. Its am sa80 a2 we have sa80 a3s now. They are pretty much the same weapon just new paint to match our uniforms
Why watch something you’re not interested in
