As a former Paratrooper in the US Army I just want to express my admiration and respect to the attention to detail and discipline of these great Soldiers. Much love and respect. Hopefully, young people in the UK will follow their excellent example.
I would like to express my Admiration and Appreciation to you, Sir. My Father-in-Law served in the US Army, during the Korean War. My Cousin died in a POW camp during the Korean War and my Husband's Uncle waa a survivor of the USS Indianapolis in WW II.
Thank you for your service. Proud to say my uncle served as a paratrooper,101st Airborne during WWII. Blessings to you.
Thank you for protecting our rights 🙏 so that we are free to sleep safely in our country God Bless You and all our soldiers 🙏
I’m an American & yet my heart is stirred when I hear Bagpipes & I nearly burst with Pride when I see the Marching. “ Bros under the Skin”! STAY STRONG!
I remember being a young soldier in a cold desert in January 1991, our captain said "rest easy, we have the Jock's on our flank" true words.....
I was on your flanks.
The plural of Jock is Jocks . . .
@@danieldravot341 Says who?
I was there too laddie
the pipes of my ancesters touches my heart and soul every time i hear them.
When this came on, my cat looked at me inquisitively and then went straight away to his sandbox to crap!
Ancestors . . .
@TalorcMacAllan-rj3nr whoosh.
I was living in Malaysia with my family (Australian) in 1975 just after the fall of Saigon - Dad was in the RAAF. I met an Australian Army Infantryman from Lavarack Barracks in Townsville, who was doing a stint with his mob 2/4 RAR at Butterworth Airbase at the same time. Long story short, we got married on base and we had the Battalion Pipers pipe us in and out of the Chapel and playing at the Wedding Reception - they wore the exact colour kilts as the Pipers in this clip. Thank you for raising the memories from a very special time.
An Additional Blessing on your Day!
One of my cousins was stationed at Butterworth then.
My lovely Grandfather served in India and South Africa but wasn’t free when he came home he died from colon cancer At 70 but my Father People from `KERRY HATED ENGLAND THEY WERE ALL I.R.A AND HIS PEOPLE SANG REBELS SONGS BUT THEY HAD LAND ALL THE CLIFFORDS IN KERRY HAD LAND in Co Clare they said we were English Cause of our name But I love Rebel songs I’m my Kerry Fathers Daughter my mother wanted to stay in England but my father said no So we were all born on the Farm in Kerry My Dad was a good Catholic The Rosary was said but when he died my mother tried but Not Good Our friends would come into our house My mother was Not as strict so My mother We all came toBOSTON
Well done, hope you made a good marriage choice
The color is called "Saffron" , most of the Irish Regiments wore that color.
So, Irish pipers leading the Scots Guard while playing 'The Wearin' of The Green' in London. Great!
Irish takeover
When is Welsh guards turn ?
Whatever works!
It's cool to see someone from the dragon ball state replying.
I believe it's also known as "The Rising of the Moon"
Loved the non invasive informative commentary. What superb performance the Irish Guards gave today.
The pipes and drums blasting the sash my father wore 🥁🥁 Absolutely brilliant ,,🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴
5:25 brilliant! 🇬🇧👑
It was old and it was beautiful.
@@alanyoung3389 And the colours they are fine 🇬🇧
Im loving the patriotism!!!
So beautifully done. What a treasure to watch.
As an american, this is one military tradition i am jealous of. Military marches lead by pipers, parading through town is so badass
So glad you enjoy the tradition! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Check out the The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The highlight for me is the Scottish regiments being lead by pipers. The US marines and their traditions at the Tomb of the unknown soldier is something I hold in high esteem.
Respect to USA from the UK
I may have misunderstood your comment about the US Marines and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. So, forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it seems like you said that the Marines guard the Tomb.
It isn't the Marines who guard the Tomb. It is the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment of the United States Army, "The Old Guard", who stands watch over the Tomb.
The Old Guard is the oldest active regiment.
Just loved the performance of the Irish guards. Always refreshing to see them in "action"
They always look so smart in their Saffron Kilts and Green Uniform, plus it was my Grandfathers Regiment in WW1.
Great display! Also, it's like the weather decided to give the Scots and Irish a good shower to make them feel at home...
Tradition and discipline, baby! Western culture is the greatest in the world.
Not at all. One NEEDS to know and understand the various cultures to really APPRECIATE' their ceremonies. Some are MORE emotionally stirring that us westerners could even imagine. Learn first, and then NEVER compare !!!!
Grow up
West is best
My father was in the Royal Artillery, I love and respect every single member of these regiments
My father was 95 Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. His major, Pargiter? I think he made General.
My father was US militRy and had utmost respect for British military and history. He fought in the Bastogne
@@arribaficationwineho32 Much respect.. ww2?
My dad was ww1 - gassed twice. Once - treated in quarters. Twice - treated by American medics (from Harvard Team), then evacuated home. Ongoing issues which he worked around. Retired at 72, died 1977 aged 82.
Such a thing my Great Grandfather and Grandmother would be proud to see. 💚
WOW, those Guarded Pipers are exceptionally Irish!
Yes, they are.
Respectful.
We salute you all.
Thank you! We salute you too. Hello!
Aren´t they magnificent. Their uniforms are wonderful. Well done. You´ve done Ireland proud.
They have done Britain proud you mean
Much love to my brothers and sister across the pond. I love British Gaelic and celtic culture.....one question the pipers are play by the rising of the moon. Isn't that an Irish rebellion song?
The rising of the moon was a resistance marching tune from 1798,the Irish Gards regiment of the British Army use this tune now,the other tunes they were playing were The sash,The Enniskillen dragoons,The Minstrel boy,and Kelly the boy from Killan,all great IRISH ballads,and great pub songs
@@jdoyle6821True . Brilliant 🤩
Yes!
Thank you for posting, very proud to be British, this is something that cannot be seen elsewhere. I wonder what it was like in battle hearing this coming towards you, echoing over the hills?
I was an American Revolutionary War reenactor in the 1st Virginia Regt. for 15 years and I believe I can speak for all involved on both sides.
We all loved the musicians from BOTH sides of the conflict.
BTW --- I always tell youngsters if the Battle of Britain hadn't been won by the British, Polish and Czeck fliers the world would be a very different place !!!
love it and love the whole "Crown" thing. Tradition has a place. I have Irish and British roots along with my Nordic and Polsih roots
I served for three years in the first battalion Irish Guards. The first half in Training and on active in Cyprus and the second half at Windsor Castle. I can honestly say they we're three of the best years of my now 86 years. I would recommend it to any youth of tosday 11:57
😢
I LOVE this, it truly uplifts my heart and soul; tremendous respect for the UK and its military❤
Thank you, darling!
Nobody in the world does this amazing stuff like the Brits, thanks for the video.
"Rising of the Moon" in a British military procession? Interesting to reference the 1798 Rebellion like that. The tradition on display is impressive.
Unexpected. I think the Brits are finally understanding the power and resilience of the people they tried to exterminate.
Haha it’s a rebel song!
OMG right? They started with "Wearing O the Green," and "The Minstrel Boy" too. It was such a cheeky set
@@cal205 so?
@@cal205 you don’t think that the British military know that? Don’t be stupid, it’s called acceptance, reunification and forgiveness. Grow up lad.
Everything about this parade was perfect, the uniforms, bear fur hats, polished boots, marching cadence and the music. I can imagine the massive amounts of hours on the parade square drilling to perfection❤❤❤❤
The first tune they are playing is called "the rising of the moon "kind of ironic as it was a call to arms by the Irish in the 1798 rebellion 😂
Actually, it's "The Wearin' of the Green."
@@johnbarnes5237 which is also a Rebel tune, kinda given away by the lyric 'They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the green.'
@@SuperEvilMonkee they play the Sash as well.
@@Billy1690-ws8jz Heh yeah I was going to say, not to long until they get into giving the Sash a wee go too so, you know. Around 5:25 ish
@@Billy1690-ws8jz of course they do
I love 💕 that sounds it's so comforting you just feel safe .
Brilliant Pipes!💚💚💚
If you have been in the Military or Law Enforcement, you will know that nothing beats marching to a Military Pipe Band. It just creates a cadence that goes through your soul and makes you feel invincible.
Totally agree, as an ex New Zealand serviceman
In america we dont march around to bands, probably why you lost!!!
@@user-vj1bi6bc3t Well you're an imbecile, because I've lost count of the Military Bands I've seen performing at Passing Out (Graduation) Parades, Football games, visiting other countries for Anzac Day or Remembrance Day.
As for lost ? If this is a reference to the War of Independence, you better brush up on your history. You only won due to the assistance of the French Naval Blockades, preventing re-supply.
You were late to two World Wars, but want to tell everyone you won them. Korea was a stalemate, Vietnam was a loss, Kuwait was left unfinished, Afghanistan was overun after an occupation of 20 yrs, Invading Iraq was the dumbest thing since Hitler invaded Russia.
The British were actually lucky to get rid of you.
@@user-vj1bi6bc3tcome back when your whole country isn't fat as fuck or homeless and your country isn't $32 trillion dollars in debt 🤣
And what exactly did we lose@@user-vj1bi6bc3t
These men show just how good we are at this sort of thing.Only The British can put on a dhow like this.Most exceptional.
All guards wear red jackets and bearskin hats, the difference is in the colour of the hackles and the badges and the distance between buttons on the jackets
Actual bear skin hats ? Time to get PETA and other organizations to protest and demonstrate against these ancient shows which have no meaning in today's society. How ridiculous is it to be marching about with the skin of a bear on your head ?
It’s the amount of buttons on the tunic and layout. Irish Guards have 4 and 4, buttons and wear St Patrick Blue Hackle
Scots have 3 and 3
Red Hackle
I just love the sound of bagpipes.
Fantastic!!!
Again a very nice video! Thank You very much!
Absolutely 💯 Brilliant 🤩
Very impressive. Very rich martial tradition.
Кельтские волынки и барабаны вызывают древний отклик в душе. Сердце начинает биться в их ритме! Огромное спасибо! Получила большое удовольствие. Восхищение и уважение за сохранение традиций!
It really surprises me every time how the British regiments, especially the household troops, with all the pomp and circumstance they got going on, still manage to form a fairly efficient fighting force.
Fantastic ❤❤
Wow. That was Great. I absolutely LOVE seeing processions like that; especially marching through town. What a great tradition to keep alive.
I agree, and may tradition like this withstand the poison tongues of the progressives who wish to dismantle it.
Great!
I love bagpipes so much.
I love British , Scottish and Irish traditions ! ❤
Awesome!
GOD' Bless them all and their families too! Amen people Realy need to remember that they are Real Soldiers!! :) :)
Brilliant just brilliant
SUPERB! Greeting from Romania!
Irish and Scots are cousins after all 😊
And don't forget the South Africans, too!
PROUD TO BE IRISH ❤❤❤
Northern Irish are British
Judging by your channel you are actually American, and not Irish at all.
Those Irish guard pipers look really smart.
Awesome! 💚
Mr Moses if I’m not mistaken - could be wearing of the green - then the rising of the moon… in London. I love it.
Nothing beats The Sash!
That was incredible
Love the commentary - helps to teach.
Nicely done guards, Irish and Scot's both. And what a treat not having some Pro-Palestinian protestors in your face.
Maybe the pipes scared them off.
Strange comment.
This has nothing to do with protesting.
Except of course for at least one rebel tune included there!
"My Kings guard"!❤
Outstanding! That would get my arse moving for sure.
I was enjoying this parade greatly. ❤Then they turned in at the gate to go home and I was suddenly in OZ. 😳
How's the bagpipes and drums what good song with a marching beat to it and approve it I just kept singing a song over and over in my mind in step with it in my mind and walk 12 miles in 90° weather I'm not a walker
The mix of units and their names is no mystery when you understand that Great Britain does not really have an Army - it is a loose confederation of separate regiments with their own uniforms, heraldry, and traditions. It’s magnificent!
Really? So why do their ID carda all have, in big bold letters, British Army right at the top? Why do they all have sequential service numbers?
They all come under the auspices of the British Armed Forces. Not everyone in the Irish regiments are Irish, neither are they all Scottish in the Scottish regiments, or in the Welsh and English regiments. We are all one.
@@markmaher4548Historically (anciently), the kings were the military leaders of their region/country. The high king (pendragon, I.e., top general - and usually the senior son of the monarch) might, in today’s parlance, be the Supreme Commander of the Combined Forces of the Britons. I believe that, rather like the national guard in the U.S., who are not allowed to operate in their home state, under the pendragon, the regions’ forces could be ‘rotated’ to operate in other areas should a threat arise.
La Policía a caballo o en bicicleta les protege muy bien.
Es muy bonito.❤
Beautiful music.

Hi, I sub to this intersting channel, cheers Fabrizio - like 4312
Lovely skirt colors. I wish I could buy one of those for me.
When is Welsh 🏴 Guard's💂 turn ?
They're fifth in the line of march, just after the Irish Guards.
that capes are awesome
First time I have ever seen a parade without a Drum Major in front controlling the music and directions
The officers busby? Absolutely splendid!
I'm a Welsh descent my ancestors went to America in the 1600s but I am still part British I've always so proud of my history and of the royal family and end of everything British.
I wish the term ‘Celt’ would be dropped. If you still have mostly Brit-ish descent (- and we do know what that entails), then you are still a Briton (and royal - like it or not 😊).
@@megw7312 Northern Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx. Celtic nations, all British. Don’t tell me, A Cornishman whose family has ancient and proven ties to Scotland, and a documented ancestral line leading to the 7th Century High Kings of Tara in Ireland, that we are not Celtic. I am guessing you are American and this know nothing on the subject of ‘Celticness’.
Merci
Soooo f-ing cool!😀👏👏👏
Irish, I wish! Don't care no where would I be without an Irishman! As an American, Thank you!
They are Northern Irish, so British
If born in Ireland, Irish, don't care about politics.
@@traviswilharm7051 Americans always process to be so knowledgeable about Ireland, and most often are not.
The Irish Guards seem to have quite a fast marching pace, is that unique to them?
I have worn the caubeen (Irish beret) and I have proudly paraded behind a pipe band in public (the drill to the pipes will never leave me) and viewers who understand the subtleties of Irish history and politics will note, "The Rising of the Moon" and "The [Orange] Sash" being played by the same regiment!
It’s British history too
Having been in the German Army for 6 years, I have absolute admiration for the professionalism and disciplin of these
soldiers, I salute then. One question though, if they are Scots guards, why are the pipers Irish?
I’m sure those bearskin hats are heavy when they’re dry. I can’t imagine how heavy they become when wet.😳
‘The Minstrel Boy’ is truly meant for the pipes . . .
I did not watch it all. How many recognized one of the tunes that the Irish Pipers were playing. It was '''the wearing of green'' and also used for the ''the raising of the Moon'. This was about the raising of 1798
The wearing of the Green
Oh, Paddy dear and did you hear the news that's goin' round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground
Saint Patrick's Day no more we'll keep his colours can't be seen
For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green
I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand
He said: "How's dear old Ireland and how does she stand?
She's the most distressful country that you have ever seen
For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green"
For the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
They're hangin' men and women
For the wearin' of the green
Then since the colour we must wear is England's cruel red
Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er forget the blood that they have shed
You may take the shamrock from your hat and cast it on the sod
But 'twill take root and flourish there though underfoot 'tis trod
My father loved his country and sleeps within its breast
While I that would have died for her must never so be blessed
Those tears my mother shed for me how bitter they had been
If I had proved a traitor to the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
They're hangin' men and women
For the wearin' of the green
But if at last our colours should be torn from Ireland's heart
Her sons with shame and sorrow from the dear old isle will part
I've heard a whisper of a land that lies beyond the sea
Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of Freedom's Day
Oh Ireland must we leave you driven by a tyrant's hand
And seek a mother's blessing from a strange and distant land
Where the cruel cross of England shall never more be seen
And in that land we'll live and die still wearing Ireland's green
For the wearin' ot the green
For the wearin' of the green
They're hangin' men and women
For the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
For the wearin' of the green
They're hangin' men and women
For the wearin' of the green
And nowadays ? Everybody loves the history & appreciates the making of friends together now - all of the people, apart from a few remaining jerks who love to sneer at other people, admire the pride seen here, no need for anything but that now & hopefully forever in the future. How many English love Ireland & all of us have Irish friends, neighbors & work associates and want nothing but the best for all ! We can't undo what our forefathers did, but respect can make things new !
@@veronicaroach3667
Veronica what are you going off on:
''few remaining jerks who love to sneer at other people, admire the pride seen here, no need for anything but that now & hopefully forever in the future.''
I was not sneering, but as an American was struck by the tunes that were being played.
From American history, the horrible things that England caused to happen in Ireland and Scotland sent waves of immigrants, often desperate and destitute to the Americas. It just very old history. Irish Americans of my generation in some cases remember if they were taught things on their grandmothers or grandfathers knees, but for younger generations, a century has passed since the black and tans and maybe 40 yrs since the last of the troubles; most have moved on and many even married people that are not irish.
Now we have new problems and concerns.
St Patrick is Ireland’s favourite welshman
@@loquat44-40If you don’t learn from history, you are condemned to repeat it? While we pray that we will not repeat it, we have to remember else we might not recognise it if it is happening in other parts of the world.
@@megw7312 Just what have you learned?
the Brits know how to put on an impressive parade.
They are playing The Wearing of the Green
The first tune is called the rising of the moon, an Irish call to arms in 1798
Hello everyone.
"King Kevin" taking America!
Hard at work,
Plainly see it is on the brink of being "Ireland" again!
Breaks ranks whenever we feel like. *inner Marine cries*
Thank you for these educational videos. As I understand, these soldiers are defending the sovereignty of us, the people and so deserving of the highest respect. We used to respect our ‘bobbies’ but whose aggressiveness is now less deserving. We pay their wages - even the traditionally British ‘Make Way!’ might sound better than a coarse ‘Get back!’ (Even if it is a naval order).
P.s… I think it’s wonderful ! Respect to all except the confused ‘policeman’ or whatever he is.
The narration sounds much like what you'd hear on a nature documentary about spotted woodpeckers or the mating habits of hyenas.
As the descendant of Revolutionary War veterans and veterans of 1812, I believe that's appropriate.
That police was acting quite nervous, and I can see how this was a tricky thing, politically. It is a bit ironic though, that guards need police protection.
Anyway, I loved the traditional tunes they were playing.
The blue plumes are Irish guards, the Scot’s are the only guards that don’t wear a plume as they are centre in the order of battle.
Nice video. I find it interesting the guards have horse-mounted guards of their own
I must have missed something - only saw police horses. Can you point me to the timing please?
@@megw7312The police horses would count as mounted guards, yes?
@@lvdovicvs Um… s’pose so.

Loved it all as a child, imagine the horror learning that bearskin hats actually came from real bears.😢
I may be mistaken but I think they have recently begun making them of synthetic fur ( I hope that's true ).
“The fur comes from bears culled in Canada under order by government authorities as their numbers become dangerously high. UK suppliers only take 100 pelts each year though the cull is much higher.”
the certainly look highly regarded.
Everyone needs a tall bear skin as part of his wardrobe. They make a bold statement.
The narrator imparts a seriousness to the theatrical cringy performance.
Videography carefully rendered by a too-short person with a selfie stick making sure to capture the tops of all heads and umbrellas in the roving video. Perfectly executed emetic imagery complete with off-centered subjects, but never without tops of heads and umbrellas.
Those tall fur hats catching the wind, wouldn’t stay on easily. They seem rather impractical.
It’s beautifully done and raises a hair on me old Irish back. I wonder if they’d be worth a fiddles tweak in a battle… …or an elephants stomp?
Fast paced march …
It's raining. Better speed up!
What is the bugler playing at?
How the hell of a gas bill do they play the pipes whilst marching at 120 paces a minute 🤔.
You get used to it
