The sound-engineers who recorded this deserve a medal. Placing the microphones to pick up all the sound over such a wide space with such immediacy was a real feat.
So true. The "Boys in the Backroom" are First Class. Like the guys at "Pye".
I wonder how many mics were used... its gotta be at least a hundred just for micing up instruments
Excellent!!

As a proud American I know every British citizen is proud of his fine brave military. These marching men are wonderful! Drummer,musicians,horseman,horses and all. Well done!
Great ,at 32:45 British Grenadiers , im an Ex German Grenadier , 89-97 Thx for the for the Great Parade and Greets from Germany
The finest there is. Nothing beats the Royal Marines or the Royal Navy.
Hearts of Oak and the Senior Service, makes many an old matelot tear up, Steady boys Steady, happy days, Sunset putting the Queen to bed, world's greatest military band, biased maybe but true.
THE best armed forces in the world.
I have watched and listened to this magnificent event about five hundred times, and I'm still mesmerized to the fullest. Signed, F. Darden Bunn, resident of Blacksburg, Virginia USA, son of Monroe County, Georgia USA, with roots going back to Warwickshire and Oxfordshire among others, and proudly so.
OMG, AWE INSPIRINGLY MAGNIFICENT! SUCH PRECISION AND PERFECTION IT'S INCREDIBLE❣.
I'm American and it made me PROUD 🥰. Bless those men and women who practice so hard to make that event look so effortless.
The parade was fantastic in every way - music, drill, video, and sound. This was a most magnificent and uplifting experience. Thank you to ALL who through their actions demonstrated the esprit de corps of HM Royal Marines. ~ Craig from Houston, Texas, USA
They typified our late monarch duty and honour with integrity.
We were there and this captures the experience really well, and our son who was part of the Honour guard was able to watch what he couldn't see on the day.
Excellent performance By the Royal Marines absolutely amazing
Verdade mesmo.meu pai estava na corneta simplesmente maravilhoso 👏😍
Royal Marines Band is second to none. I'm always mesmerised by them. Thanks for sharing this.
I've loved the Royal Marines Band Service since I first saw them when I was 10 years old in 1988, I last watched them last week and I was still blown away. They are also a great friendly bunch of people. Best band in the world!
Yes its great to see all that remains of the british forces not excluding most equipment dont work plus jammed and worn out rifles Putin is really worried indeed.
Absolutely
Its the way they play solidly for over an hour on what looks a hot day and the marching, thats what gets me, you can't tell the difference between them marching or standing still playing. The mix of modern and traditional always gets me as well. Bravo to everyone involved.
My Grandad, Dad and two Uncles were all Navy and, living in Portsmouth, the Royal Marines beating retreat was always something we looked forward to. I was at HMS Vernon for the final performance and there wasn’t a dry eye on the parade ground when Sunset was played.

Am also from Portsmouth ...could not agree more, my father in law, served on HMS Rodney, his estranged wife's husband served on a destroyer visiting Cuba my brother in law on Endurance and Eagle and nephew Andrew on a Nuclear sub
Thank you for your relatives service. @@bobpendlebury3733
I was only ever a Royal Navy Volunteer Bandsman. To watch these guys play makes me wish I had gone Bootie bandsman.
Wow, this is great, so happy to see British military traditions kept up, i joined in 1976 and left in 1996, with the civilian population declining into drug addled minions it makes me proud that there are still proud patriots out there willing to protect and defend their country like their grandparents did in two world wars, there is still hope for the UK.
Well I’m an Australian more specific a Qlder up here atleast we still love our ancient motherland
I agree 👍
Were you a guardsmen?
Is that why you ran away?
Your comment was great until you said the civilian population is declining into drug addled minions. What utter tosh.
They're in a league - nay on a planet - all of their own. Magnificent - 'nuff said.
My father was in the Royal Navy, so love to see and hear, the marines band and sailors marching. It amazes me how they can play, march, and all while wearing what looks like a 'not so cool 'uniform !! Great performance...
I can only imagine playing in that band and listening to all the sounds bouncing off the buildings just outside the parade square - then having to play staring into the sun. Well done team!
M
Words fail me this is music at its best utterly brilliant.
LONG LIVE MOTHER ENGLAND AND GOD SAVE THE KING!
Aw...don't forget us in Scotland, as well as Wales & Ireland and the Commonwealth.
God bless The Queen - sorely missed
Yes, Mr Richard’s we are the best in the world at this kind of thing…. Where have you been…God bless the Queen and God save the King….
Was great to see it again, so pleased I was there thanks to my RM friend & his wife. Fantastic evening 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Absolutely love the Royal Marines Bands. My husband served 12 years in the ‘mob’ ending up as a Petty Officer in the Fleet Air Arm.
I saw many Beating of the Retreat and Sunset ceremonies as a young navy wife.
I found out that my Great Great Grandfather Samuel Parker joined the Royal Marines and served in the Crimean War. He died in 1909.
So proud of my links to the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines.
Bravissimi HM ROYAL MARINES ! Such a kind of performance has no borders ! Please keep going!
So nice to see & hear the British military bands. Love them
Sound quality was amazing. It's nice to see the Brit's can do somethings well. A lot of hard work went into the marching formations. Well done everyone.
Bit of a backhanded compliment, but yes they are very good, and I am a proud Royal Navy veteran that has marched behind the RM band many times, they are the best military band out there.
Sorry!,( Nice to see the Brit.’s can do something well)…We Sir ,are the best in the world at this sort of thing. Where are you from…..God bless the Queen and god save the King….
@@iap-ug3oy well said.
Excellent Royal Marines Band Service.
The Bands of the HM Royal Marines never fail to put on an impressive performance.
The drum static by the buglers @29:57 is unbelievable, I can't stop watching it.
Absolutely outstanding. A credit to the country
Absolutely stunning! Congratulations all for an outstanding performance!
Who ever took the decision to have the v.i.p. stand near to the war memorial should be given a tot of rum(or two).So much better for all watching the display and to have the back drop of the beautiful buildings.When Prince Philip took the salute years ago facing the sun,the Queen would be sat up in the window with the darkest of sun glasses on because of the sun right in her eyes.Great performance,I would not expect anything less.
Pete Law X Corps of Drums.RM😇🥁
Oh my favourite band, love it! Nice to see the navy too, have a soft spot for them, as my late brother was in the navy.
the most beautiful corpsmusic ever performed! Here in Holland we are proud to have our corpswinners called: Floraband. Comparing with this kind of corpsmusic: We are notthing I loooove this marchingband by heart!
Don't call your countrys marching band nothing they are brilliant..
There is nowhere in the world that you get su h precision and such control while marching, these guys are unreal.. Well done
This Aussie just watched something amazing thank you God save our King Charles the third.
Outstanding performance, immaculate dressing and a great video production
This is Music in World class 😯😯👍👍👍
Awesome and impeccable performance of a display
Absolutely fantastic performance as usual, always admired the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines, no comparison anywhere. Just the greatest Military Brass. Robert (82) Infantry Veteran, New Zealand Army.
Royal's the best in the world. The RN lads were brilliant too.
Excellent performance, brilliant program of music, even better to see my nephew in the RN Guard of Honour
Perfect, so very well done, I know of no others that could perform such perfection. A real pleasure to watch and to appreciate.
Впечатляет. Очень красиво. А сколько труда было вложено в эту красоту! Спасибо.
And yes absolutely I'll see this again and again and again and again many times more!
Was ein Fach schön zum anschauen und zu hören. Toll
Seeing this for the 1st time....guess because mostly at sea, but glad to see them. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you all who participated, very much appreciated.
Fantastic performance. Served in my time in 2nd Bn The Royal Irish Rangers back in the day at Connaught barracks in Dover. Just down the road from Deal, their school of music. Always looked forward doing displays with The Royal Marines. Brilliant musicians, one and all.
Super. All that attended and all that participated must have been so!!!!! Proud.
Schön zum Ansehen und zu hören. Einfach toll die Musik die Genauigkeit dieser Aufmärsche.
Brilliant done…and a superb score
Absolutely brilliant!
An amazing performance, sound was excellent. The singer was the best I heard in a couple of years.
Her parents must be real proud of her.
Steady....boys.....steady........and girls of course, nowadays. Fantastic spectacle and performance by the HMRM massed bands, as always. My home city of plymouth even got a mention. Only about 5 seconds of a bugle call but brought back memories of watching a RM band performing in the royal citadel, plymouth in the 70s as a kid with my late parents.
Excellent! Makes me want to start practicing trombone again.
56:00 one of my favorite pieces of music.
Great performance!!!
Just subscribed having found this channel after seeing snippets on YT of the 2024 Beating the Retreat by the Royal Marines last week, with a beautiful performance of Enya's "May It Be", the Jupiter movement from "The Planets" by Holst and then "To Thee My Country I Vow"...... and watching this, the full 2022 Beating the Retreat performance has just reinforced how brilliant are the Royal Marines massed bands. I've just checked out both the RM webpage as well as iTunes and sadly this isn't available either on CD or on iTunes as I adore the performance of the music from Gladiator in this video. Greetings from Western Australia and thank you for sharing your music here. Sadly, we'll never be able to travel to the UK again (husband has dementia) so I so regret we never managed to see the RM bands on any of our trips to the UK in the past.
I could watch this magnificent band all day
Absolutely awesome
Excellent video, thank you
Love from NZ

I finally found this comment
There are not enough words to describe this magnificent performance. Fantastic! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
It is awesome; the precision in the movement of men in line with the music is appreciable.
Absolutely superb!
Absolutely amazing
Wonderful ❤
Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander In Charge of the Guard Of Honor looked "Salty As He**", reminded me of many US Navy Chiefs and Marine NCO's that I had the privilege of working with when I was in.
Was glad to see both US Marine and Army Officers in the reviewing stand, but was disappointed that there wasn't a Navy Officer.
Őszinte elismerés a szervezőknek az összes közre működőnek,nagy fegyelem ,a csinos ruhák, a hölgy szép hangjáért az egész műsor úgy tetszett ahogy volt a Katona zenekart külömben is nagyon szeretem, azt sajnálom hogy nem tudom milyen alkalomból volt ez a műsor, kérem ha lehet válaszolják meg nekem.Maradok tisztelettel.Béláné Anna,köszönöm!!!
I love the sound 🎉🎉
GB spends a lot of money and effort on pageantry and customs. They must be very proud of their customs.
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great performance, music and arrangements :) !
AWESOME, Thank you so much for posting
Just enjoy hearing, "Guard of honour, . . ."
England I can't say enough about the performances you continually put on. The USA does as well though.
Amazing as always
As per normal, A magnificent performance by HM Royal Marines, twice I noticed a bass drummer marching backwards, strange to say the least, from an ex Royal Australian Navy Leading Seaman Signalman....BZ
Each time the band splits, there is one 'leading' and at least one 'following' band. It is the job of the following band's bass drummer to keep their band in step and in musical time with the leading band. This is why we do it 👍
Never to old to learn, appreciate the info
The Globe and Laurel; we of the Globe and Anchor salute you and your late Queen
This was just truly amazing spectacular the Royal Marines the best.
I have no words. Amazing
And also ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!
Was amazing to see it in person
Absolutely magnificent in every way!
BRAVO ZULU FROM CANADA
Absolutely magnificent!
Reminds me of this from Kipling (Recessional)
My earnest appreciation for those who keep us safe.
Recessional
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine -
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law-
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And, guarding, calls not Thee to guard;
For frantic boast and foolish word-
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord![4]
Amazing loved to see navy lads my dad was in navy many moons ago ❤
Outstanding!!!
Lt Col Burcham, you have done a marvellous job, Sir!🫡 Thank you so much. This Beating Retreat was absolutely amazing. I can see it over and over again. Hannah's singing has been the Highlight!😊
Brilliant!
Every time I hear "Sunset", 59:46 it just grabs me by the heart and SQUEEZES.
Watching it from The Hague: SUPER 🔝👍
Fantastic performance
