Rule, Britannia!/Speed the Plough - Royal Anglian Regiment (Quick March)
Rule, Britannia!/Speed the Plough - Quick March of the Royal Anglian Regiment. Shown with imagery of the regiment.
Performed by the Minden Band of the Queen's Division.
"Rule, Britannia!" is a British patriotic song, originating from the 1740 poem "Rule, Britannia" by James Thomson and set to music by Thomas Arne in the same year. It is most strongly associated with the Royal Navy, but is also used by the British Army.
The Royal Anglian Regiment (R ANGLIAN) is an infantry regiment of the British Army. It consists of two Regular battalions and one Reserve battalion. The modern regiment was formed in 1964, making it the oldest of the Line Regiments now operating in the British Army, and can trace its history back to 1685. The regiment was the first of the large infantry regiments and is one of the three regiments of the Queen's Division.
The regiment was formed on 1 September 1964 as the first of the new large infantry regiments, through the amalgamation of the four regiments of the East Anglian Brigade:
1st (Norfolk and Suffolk) Battalion from the 1st Battalion of the 1st East Anglian Regiment (Royal Norfolk and Suffolk)
2nd (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire) Battalion - 1st Battalion, 2nd East Anglian Regiment (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Royal Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire)
3rd (16th/44th Foot) Battalion - 1st Battalion, 3rd East Anglian Regiment (16th/44th Foot)
4th (Leicestershire) Battalion - 1st Battalion, Royal Leicestershire Regiment.
Performed by the Minden Band of the Queen's Division.

Quite stirring.

Hey to all the old Janner's Semper Fidelis
Lovely to see the Union Flag at the beginning and the end is the wrong way around. Please, learn your flags!
This feels almost haunting watching this knowing that every single person in these photos have died. There are no more World War One veterans left alive. This will sadly soon be the same for World War Two veterans. Please take care to preserve their experiences to ensure their memory is never forgotten. God bless 🫡
A British March honoring the 8th written by a Yank.😊🇺🇲🇬🇧💪🏽
Great song, I have ancestors who fought on both sides. Those on my English side fought in Kitcheners fighting scouts and the Natal carbineers, no idea where those on my afrikaans side fought though.
Long live the dli.
Alba gu bràth!
This will always make me think of Breaker and Peter RIP
My grandfather was in the Boer War he was 28 and he met my Nan when she was a 17yrs old girl and they got married in 1907 when my grandmother was 19

John raynsford , Austin Morley , Thompson Martin and Harold Starley. Boer war soldiers and Austin was a sailor
Another splendid British march! Well done!
0:06 Is Where The Song Starts
I thought it was the optional prelude of Rule Britannia like the fanfare before the national anthem.
It was written by to English man on Birmingham.
though I am an Indian. But I love this song. Because now the relationship between India and u.k has become strong. India has no enmity with u.k like the year 1947. Now relationship has become strong. In the future India and u.k relationship should be soo strong.
Pro Patria!
This is a little silly, but when I was younger and used to play Roblox, whenever I would play those Napoleonic games I would always go British. When I had an instrument I would play this song. I did it so often that if I had any skill in A Capella I could bring about a perfect rendition :D
Is this Edward Woodward singing ?

Its astonishing to see General Hamilton taking the salute! One can clearly his twisted left arm, due to wound recieved in his wrist at Majuba in 1881
Hold on to your culture, Britain.
Nice tune ... if only we could find better words to do with something other than Britain.
Proud Dub proud of my British history. My ancestors fought for the Crown! And died for it! LWF QS NS 🇬🇧
despite our history, I'd never say anything awful about the red coats and truly mean it. you lobster backs are a good bunch, even though you didn't pose for our art piece... nor do you recognize the revolution apparently, is that true?
Was in Toy Soldiers, a game I played as a kid, so it's quite nostalgic for me weirdly enough
From the world service of the BBC, this is London…
Always has been and will brother.
Until just now I thought it was a First World War song .
Harry Anderson, 91st Infantry Division
Hardly a 'Brtish' song. It's origins are in the Welsh fighting the English invasion of Wales.
what heros
My aunts brother was in the 42 black watch if he was still alive I'm sure he whould have loved this song
This is London!
real brits 2024 shame invaded
Does anyone know why there are different versions of this song?
Well, I know that one version is in Welsh.
I have run across at least two sets of lyrics in Welsh. I suppose the _'Wele goelcerth wen yn fflamio'_ may be the most popular, over _'Aid y wai ac aid a wedi, i bob Cymru chan uchelfri,_ and there are even more and perhaps bloodier variations in English.😮
And oh look: 'Harlech Cyfod dy Faneri.' Sounds pretty rousing... Cymraeg is stiff with cognate words. Their word for "window" is pure if elderly French.
The Equalizer.
This song is a Welsh song made famous by the film Zulu , 11 Victoria Crosses were awarded due to the bravery of the Welsh Guards defending Rorkes Drift outpost against the Zulu tribe .
People in the comments: “Oh my grandfather fought in the war.” Aussies: Collingwood Theme
If only it was longer than 1:28.
"Gordon. Get your bastards up on to the crest. I will bring out the rest of the brigade." "Aye, dinnae worry yourself, Pic. My lads will hold them off. Aye, till you come." "Get forward! Damn your eyes." "The 92nd will advance! Present the Colors!!!"
