- HMS Cattistock is granted the freedom on the town of Poole in Dorset on the 4th of may 2024!
Freedom of the City or Town is an ancient honour granted to martial organisations, allowing them the privilege to march into the city "with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed"
This honour dates back to ancient Rome which regarded the "pomerium", the boundary of the city, as sacred. Promagistrates and generals were forbidden from entering it, and resigned their imperium immediately upon crossing it. An exception was made for victory celebrations (called triumphs), during which the victorious general would be permitted to enter for one day only. Under the Republic, soldiers also lost their status when entering, becoming citizens: thus soldiers at their general's triumph wore civilian dress. Weapons were also banned inside the pomerium for religious and traditional reasons. (The assassination of Julius Caesar occurred outside this boundary.)
Similar laws were passed by other European cities throughout the Medieval era, to protect public security and civic rights, even against their own king's troops. As a result, soldiers would be forced to camp outside the walls of the city during the winter months. The Freedom of the City was an honour granted only to troops which had earned the trust of the local populace, either through some valiant action or simply by being a familiar presence.
Today, martial freedom of the city is an entirely ceremonial honour, usually bestowed upon a unit or ship with historic ties to the area, as a token of appreciation for their long and dedicated service. The awarding of the Freedom is often accompanied by a celebratory parade through the city. - Ігри
Precision Marching and Playing displayed. The change from three columns to five was brilliantly executed as they left the narrow street onto the wider street. Have seen this Band several times and they are a Great Ambassador for The Royal Marines Band Service.👍👍
I grew up in Deal in Kent and used to go to the barracks at least once a week to watch them practice and loved it even though I was very cold sometimes,unfortunately the problems with the IRA put a stop to that and the marines moved .
apoligies for the shaky footage, this was filmed with a selfie stick & i was walking backwards for the entirety of the parade
