    The RMBs are simply the best. Imo we have a few things to be proud of in this country, and our military is one of them. This despite the cuts that have been inflicted by successive political parties (whom I’m not proud of!). Thank you to all our soldiers, sailors and airmen and airwomen. Best wishes from Cornwall. ❤️

    I received this in my notifications a day ago... and three viewings later! I'm British born, but a citizen of Canada for most of my life and yet the emotions and pride I get from these parade performances are indescribable. The amazing thing about this performance was the cinema graphics. As awesome as I imagine it to have been for the people there in person the overhead shots were spectacular. I noticed especially the way the camera caught the "eyes" eyes left, right, side eye, eyes ahead, the camera caught it all and it was obvious the participants were aware of every one person's military precision. I smile at the fact the camera captured so many blue eyed marines, it amused me in a way thinking of John Inman singing "The sailor with the navy blue eyes" and this being a HM Royal Marines performance.
