10 Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment took over responsibility for guarding Windsor Castle on Saturday and David was on the Lower Ward to film the complete guard mount.
The pride and precision of the British and Gurkha Soldiers displayed here is an extraordinary sight to see! This retired American Soldier salutes them.
yes they have all Gurkhas Pipes and Drums go to the Army School of music ( Redford Barracks I think) and then Pipers to the Advance piping course eventually taking the Pipe Majors course all in Scotland
As a South African, I just love this British tradition and precision. A long time ago I served in the South African Defence Force and we had an equally proud tradition, which we inherited from the British from our Colonial days. Alas, nothing is left.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but during dinner, a long time ago, at the officer's mess of the Queen's Regiment, I was told by a UK officer that the purpose of the two officers marching up and down the square together was to show that they were not drunk. Was that lieutenant pulling my leg?
No he was not. 'Pacing the Minutes' is a tradition that was started when Queen Victoria found the officers drunk and ordered that they should march up and down in front of their men to show they were sober.
They aren't toy soldiers. They are from genuine regiments with battle honours going back centuries. They do guard duty on rotation. The 5 infantry regiments are Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Irish Guards, Welsh Guards and Scots Guards. Toy soldiers my arse.

Thanks, and hope you are enjoying your retirement
@ Joel Lesson , you should see the Scottish Regiment's , you'll Love them !! ----
The Gurkha's are a different level when it comes to drill. Uncanny.
I get the impression that these exceptionally dedicated and brave Gurkhas have an affinity with Scotland and Scottish music.

Having played the Pipes for two Formal Dinners at the SAAF College over the last two weeks, I disagree.

The tune that Gurkha brigade is playing in the beginning is an old Nepali song called, "Yo Nepali sir uchali".
Beautiful performance..
I really enjoyed the music. Thank you.
and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment
Regimental band pipes and drums Gurkhas 💂🇬🇧
Loved it,just absolutely marvelous 😄😄😄😄
Heaven help anyone who tried to break in with the Gurkhas on guard.
There is nothing like an Infantry Band.

You can see this Officer loves boots. I think he is obsessed with them. Not the kind of Officer you want fixing bayonets with the boys.
What century are these toy soldiers living in?
it takes a special kind of idiot to sit behind a keyboard and make comments about things they obviously know nothing about!
