Spiffing video Sir!! Loved hearing "Along the Mall" once again! It's been a while since I've heard that. The Household Cavalry always sounding so splendid. We got a little of everything in this video, it was very enjoyable to watch!
Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!

And the Beautiful Majestic Drummer Horse❤
I have the up most respect for All Military.

I follow, a few yu tubers and watch every day, to see what is happening at Horse Guards, and the Wonderful surrounding.
God Bless
From here in Martin, Tn. USA😊❤🌟🙋♀️🇱🇷
Im following this chanel now.
These bands are the most awesome display of military music anywhere. My dream is to go to London and witness them in person!
Good to see my old, The Royal Yeomanry, in the parade. Been a long time since I made it to Cavalry Sunday, now that I've been living in the Far East for a long time!
I think they are really good and the horse as well.😊
This is the 4th Video I've watched of The Cavalry Sunday Parade. I'm not going to upset anyone by Ranking them, but I would encourage People to watch all the Videos, because they're all different, with different Angles & Views & all concentrate on Various Parts of the Parade. We actually get a better view of the Proceedings than any of the Channel Owners do.
This Excellent Video also has a Bonus Surprise, which no one else Covered.
It was Lovely to see at the Beginning, The Band of the Household Cavalry Marching with one of their 2 Beautiful Drum Horses. This is Major Juno - all the Drum Horses of the HH Cavalry carry the Rank of Major - the latest Recruit to the Regiment, who made her first appearance at the Completion of her Official Training at last years Trooping The Colour, the First of Charles lll Reign. Major Juno is the First Mare to hold the Honour of Carrying 2 of the Silver Kettle Drums (weighing 12kgs or approx. 450lbs) & her name "Juno" was chosen by the late Queen Elizabeth ll when Juno was recruited in 2021. She was Officially named by the Queen Consort in 2023 having completing her Training & Receiving her Rank of Major.
It's unusual to see a Drum Horse in a Parade when the Band of the Household Cavalry are Parading Dismounted, as one of the two Bass Drummers is required to ride the Drum Horse as he is today in State Uniform, the Oldest Continually worn Military Uniform in the World. That Uniform is only worn when a Senior Royal or the Sovereign will be Present. That makes me wonder why the Band of the HH Cavalry are wearing their Ceremonial Uniform & not their State Uniform, as I know HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh is taking the Salute Today.
It's a Treat to see The Royal Yeomanry Band, 1 of only 2 Army Reserve Bands in the British Army. They were formed in 1961 by the Amalgamation of the Inner Courts Regiments & The London Yeomanry, the Band can track their Regimental History back to 1548 during the Reign of Henry Vlll & the short reign of his son Edward Vl. We don't get to see them very often & they are very Good, especially being a Army Reserve Band, meaning some of its Members have Jobs outside the Army.
It's always good to see the Veterans on Parade. Even though some of them Retired Years ago, they Still have that Soldiers Bearing & when they come together again with their Brothers in Arms from their Regiments, their Pride is Palpable & they Show without Doubt they Still have it. I often Wonder what they think as they Greet Old Mates but also Notice that some are Missing. It's something that those who've not gone together & fought together will probably never know, but we Can show them the Respect they Deserve & the Appreciation they have earned.
This is another Brilliant Video MBE & well up to your usual High Standard. The Added Surprise at the End was a real Bonus. The Band of the HH Cavalry were Fantastic as Always, I think that may've been Major Brightwater, the Life Guards DOM leading them, don't often see him, its usually their Staff Corporal.
Thank you Very Much for Capturing this Video, especially now as we near The Silly Season of The Bands of Household Division, starting with the Trooping the Colour in a few weeks.
PS: I've really got to learn to Read the Description First! then I wouldn't need to tax my Memory for details you've already Stated & Bore the Hell out of everyone by Waffling On!
Thanks Vicky, much appreciated for your kind comments as always, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and have had yet another vantage point of this parade!
Good point about reading the description, I always try to include as much information as possible for the likes of yourself to learn and understand the personalities and what is going on. From this I’m guessing you will have seen it was Major Bywater as their DOM, dressed in Blues and Royals uniform marching inside the band’s ranks and then their Staff Corporal leading them, dressed in Life Guards uniform.
It is also worth nothing there are more than 2 army reserve bands in the British Army, I think there are 22 in total. The PWRR band you have seen multiple times on this channel are for example another one and these reserve bands are based all around the United Kingdom. Never want to correct you all the time, just wanting to share the knowledge and help you learn!
@@MilitaryBandsEverywhere Hi MBE! Don't ever think I don't appreciate you Sharing your Knowledge & Steering me onto the Right Path when I make an Error. I'm still learning as you know & you'll note I said 'When' not if. The only way I'm going to learn is when someone who knows what's right, tells me when I'm wrong, even if it doesn't always make Sense. This does make sense, but I'm going to have to work out a better Strategy for dealing with information from certain Sources. I got that information about The Yeomanry Band from their own Website about 3 hrs or so ago. I remembered seeing a Yeomanry Band playing at The National Army Museum as one of the Military Bands who Performed there over the Summer/Autumn last year on Mr B's Channel & wondered if it was the Same one. I remember it had something to do with the Inner Courts in London, so I checked & it was them. I must admit, I thought 2 sounded low, but although I don't know a lot about which Regiments are Reserves as opposed to Serving Regiments, I just took their Info as Gospel, they should know. The Blurb on the Website could be old, not updated for awhile & this is a Good Lesson Not to believe everything on a Website it Could be Outdated. I have a very Helpful New Friend in London HQ Public Relations Office, who Sent me a List of All The British Army Regimental Marches & Regiments, I've Just Checked & Both this Band & PWRR are on it but there's nothing to say They're Army Reserve Bands. I think I'm going to have to rethink my Strategy & maybe not Quote anything that doesn't have a Secondary Source to Confirm a Claim. I hate to say it, but trying to Research the more Obscure things in The Army, actually all the British Armed Forces is harder than doing 2000 years Historical Research of English, British & UK Royalty!
I as Pretty Sure the Life Guard leading the Parade was their Staff Corporal, he's an old Friend (in the Virtual Sense) from Guard Change Videos, I recognised his Style. I did Spot the DOM in B&R Colours, Marching in the Band with no Instrument. I'd already identified him From My B's Video. He Filmed the Full March Past with the HCC Providing the Music & the DOM directed from the Front, then returned to Ranks for their March Past. Poor Prince Edward was Removing Hat, placing Hat thinking everyone had passed 3 Times. Never mind, it's his first for a few Years, it'll come back to him quickly enough.
One thing I did see that I've never seen before & have no idea how to find out what it's about, was something I saw on I think it was Military Events Video. Well before the Bands arrived, there were quite a few People in Uniform organising Pennant Markers & what were definitely Officers Milling about near the Saluting Platform. Among them were 3 Officers, all wearing Helmets with Red Plumes, exactly like the Blues & Royals but they were wearing Red Tunics like the Life Guards & Black Pants with a Yellow Vertical Stripe, not the Red Stripe Worn by the HH Cavalry. I've Never Seen any other Regiment in the BA wear those Very Distinctive Helmets, not that, that means much I've only seen a handful of Regiments going by that List. I know that the only other Regiment that wears the Bearskins besides the Foot Guards are the Honourable Artillery Regiment, I learnt about that last Year when they Paraded around London when there was a Banquet for the Visiting South Korea (I think) President at The Banqueting Hall, about the same time I learnt that you touched a Guardsman's Bearskin at risk of your life or at the very least broken Arms. So perhaps there's another Regiment with the Helmets, but I would've thought they'd have a different Coloured Plume. Any Ideas?
Fantastic.
2:11 tubas killed it 💪🏻
Low brass = Best brass
16:30 march is sons of the braves.
I don't know why they played sons of the braves. I just remembered seeing a video about the guards playing sons of the braves.
The march at 17:57 is not 'Sons of the Brave' and in fact Alford's 'The Thin Red Line' as written in the description. You can tell by its iconic introduction fanfare played by the cornet section of the band. Please see below for a full recording:

@@MilitaryBandsEverywhereOops I put the wrong number
@guardsdivisionfan Yes you are correct, that is ‘Sons of the Brave’ played by The Band and Bugles of the Rifles
Unless I'm mistaken that is The Band of the Bugles & Rifles, of The Brigade of Gurkha Regiment, not a Guards Regimental Band. They would be Playing "Sons of the Brave" because that is The Quick March of The Brigade of Gurkhas. That is a bit of a Misnomer, as The Gurkhas March at 140 ppm dropping to 120 ppm as their Slower Rate. However, when they provide Musical Support for the Change of Guards Ceremonies, they Drop their Paces Per Minute Rate (ppm) to the 116ppm & 65ppm of The Guards, if they are Leading or Following them.
@vickyRoyalHistory It is the Band and Bugles of the Rifles you are correct. Although they are not part of the Brigade of Gurkhas. Although they are supporting the Gurkhas during public duties as well as the Gurkha Band, they are not part of the brigade. They are one of the 14 regular army bands in the Royal Corps of Army Music and represent the Rifles Regiment who are their own unique identity. However, the Rifles and the Gurkhas are the only two units to march at light pace (faster) on parade, hence their similarities with them both being light infantry units.
Sons of the Brave is also not the regimental quick of the brigade of Gurkhas, that is ‘Yo Nepali’. I hope this helps and all makes sense Vicky!
wondered if the drum horse was a bit lame .... may be getting used to bridle and what used to be called bridle lame ness bet you miss Hannibal and Dolly Gray
