    Conner this is not Beating the Retreat this is the march back to barracks down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace after beating the retreat which takes place on Horse Guards parade ground. There is a full video of the ceremony on yt.

    We see many military marching bands in London throughout the Spring and Summer. There is nothing quite so grand as leaving the office for - say an appointment - and suddenly hearing a marching band. I feel like a kid again and race to walk beside it. They are the best of days. This is HM Royal Marines. They have performed their Ceremony of Beating Retreat and look as smart as they did when they first marched from their Barracks.
    SUGGESTION: If you haven't already done so, would you please react to HM Royal Marine Bands - Gladiator. They played it at the end of this same Ceremony, on Horse Guards Parade (which is at the back of Whitehall, where you watched the Remembrance Service last November). Its played at the end of a long day, the sun is gradually setting and it's .... well ... wonderful !!! Love from the UK

    My Grandpa used to wake us up on a Sunday morning to this music. His stereo system had 5ft wooden speaker cases, so there was no escape from the volume for half a mile. 😋 Our yacht used to sail with the Queen's royal yacht Britannia. In port, the Marine band onboard used to practice every morning. We used to plan our coffee-break each morning so we could listen to this and dunk a biscuit in time.

    All those drummers and no blurring of the beat, all exactly on time. And a shout out for the wind section and their amazing stamina to Mariah at that pace and not get out of breath. The talent and discipline of those musicians is second to none.

      @@juliajoyce4535absolutely and she is a fully trained Royal Marine I believe she was or became a Band Corporal and like all the ladies within the band on top of completing full basic training she has to be able to play at least three instruments to a very high standard and when not on ceremonial duties they all fill medic/ aid type roles and you should see that a lot of them have campaign medals meaning they have served in some of the most recent conflicts.

    Beating Retreat is held for two weeks every summer on Horseguards Parade London...you can buy tickets but The King takes the review each time. This year is the Navy...Marines. Another year the Army and Guards etc, and so on. My office was very close by....bit tricky working late with the rehearsals and the final event going by!!!!

    You also need to appreciate the skill, training, timing and discipline to maintain step and dressing whilst playing instruments. From memory, they take a 30” pace at a rate of 120 paces a minute all while lugging their instruments and playing them. (Not sure if the length and speed of the pace are correct, depends which service and even which ‘regiment’ you are part of - ie, Gurkhas and the Rifle Regiment march at 144 paces to the minute

    The Royal Marines used to be based in my town by the sea in Kent. I have fond memories of our yearly carnival being lead by them, as kids we would be sat on the curb of the pavement going along the seafront and you could hear the marines band leave the barracks and getting closer and closer, great excitement lol.. we also had the Red Arrows every year on firework night we would line up all along the beach with ice creams and listen for them getting closer and watch display, I feel sad for kids today not getting that, we were spoilt 😊

    There's a great UA-cam video of the bands of the various services' cadets at the anniversary of the Combined Cadet Force. About 55,000 kids aged 12-17 are currently members of corps at about 500 secondary schools across the UK. Further, there are 70,000 in Army Cadets, 40,000 in Air Cadets, and 15,000 in Sea Cadets.

    There used to be the Royal Marine Light Infantry, who wore red uniforms and blue home service helmets with a spike and the Royal Marine Artillery, who wore blue tunics with a ball on top of their H.S, helmets. When they amalgamated in 1923 the uniform chosen was the artillery blue but with infantry details. The white foreign service helmet is the "Wolsley" pattern

    ua-cam.com/video/fsOkWUHQaCs/v-deo.htmlsi=Y0_cyu1ZngZrnYcD
    They also train as infantry soldiers (not commandos) at the Commando Training Centre Lympstone. (There have been women Bandies for years but the RM Commandos have only just opened up to women after the success of a few on the Commando All Arms Training Course.)
