Brings a tear to my eye. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I will have to show my Grandson. I was a bugler. Proud part of my life, it was on TV and my mother was watching.
no one can play the silver bugles like the light division , not even the gurkhas could ever reach these tones......the unique sound is lost ,maybe forever, with only the band and bugles of the Rifles to try and carry the tradition....i was 14 years old when i saw the light division sound retreat on the horse guards in 1974...with the legendary Colin Green at the front......marty
June 2015 the old buglers placed all side the rifles band and bugles as ex 2 and battalion the light infantry it great to march again at 140 paces again and I am 61 years old
Was a great parade and a sad day for the Light division.. i was proud to be Light Infantry Bugler on this Parade.. And still proud to this day !!! once a bugler always a bugler !
Yes 'march to the scaffold' was not on the official play list, this was a dig at the hierarchy for the cut-backs - Aucto Splendore Resurgo - Swift and Bold.

The ultimate Light Division video. Don't think anything will beat this - thanks

Now all gone I miss my time with them and look back in pride at my days with the Light Infantry
Thank You

The commentary is very apt, especially around the playing of Berlioz. Haunting almost.
There is only one word for this FANTASTIC
i'm one of the old softies - "Sunset" chokes me too, every time - so poignant it hurts
ex 2LI 1994-1006, listening to the bugles brought tears to my eyes and shivers down my spine

I gave you the 7th thumbs up , what's driving me nuts is at the end, he says one final thought and they cut it before he said it.
I saw that one in 1974 brilliant, again in 1987 the band slowly shrinking with defence cuts that one is half the size of 87...
Excellent video presentation. The purity and skill of those buglers is unreal, absolutely brilliant.
Ex 2 RGJ and i know what you mean will never forget it, proud to be a part of it. Swift And Bold

Ex Army Bandsman 1 DWR (The Dukes) of 24 years standing. Anybody watching this in lockdown, fantastic but sad and poignant
Peter Foxton always sad
The best bugles in the world.....EVER!!!!
It is the from Berlioz Symphonie Fantasique, then it goes into a march called Light Infantry

My favourite version of National anthem this. Even better with Fanfare trumpets live
The Light Division are fantastic as soldiers and buglers
A very sad day :(. The borneo band and bugles was in amongst them aswell
I was actually there.....seriouslhats the end of THE band and bugles
Bloody criminal...my old grandad was Rifle Brigade
best ever rgj
