The entire tribute was outstanding. The length, the endurance, quality of march. Was that a leisure marching step? The pause? Wow!! The voice of that woman Marine!!!! Wow x 10!
@@gulliver3644 Do you mean the Slow March (Slow Time in the US)? Not a very leisurely march in my opinion, especially if you have to do it over a period of time. It's actually more difficult than a Quick March (Quick Time in the US). BTDT.
Thank you for allowing those of us who live thousands of kilometres away to share in performances by what are the best military bands in the world. Greetings from the tiny town of York, Western Australia.
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. ❤️
Oh boy, sat here typing this with tears in my eyes! How very proud I am of each and everyone of you, this wonderful performance should make all of us proud, the discipline it has taken to reach this standard is just amazing, thank you all so much. I am the Grandaughter of CSM John Burns. KIA 1916, ordered his men 'over the top' then got hit himself falling back into that same trench, how long he lay there dying no one will ever know....God Bless You Grandad and his widow who pushed forward with their children for the rest of her life. Thank you.

@@RichardBurns-g6c All I can do is say how right you are. I am listening to these young soldiers right now and what a string number playing now this takes me back to my school days we assembled in our class area and then with the band playing n over the megaphone we marched around the prade ground then into our respective class rooms.
Too bad the Tattoo has not yet been shown by the powers-to-be, would seem there is some trouble between the heirachy and some of the media keep getting deleted as well.
From the USA, I always look forward to watching and hearing the Royal Marines Band. Truly remarkable talented and dedicated performances. Britain can very rightfully be proud of their Royal Marines Band and The Royal Marines. I'm grateful that I can watch these events from thousands of miles away in Texas.
As a US Marine also, I stand with Christopher, "Semper Fi" brother. The UK military bands are tops bar none the others are 2nd best, I can watch them every day and never get bored!
Beating Retreat 2024 was, both bisually and musically, a feast for the soul. An immaculate performance which highlights the good still left in this world. My heartfelt thanks to all who participated and continued gratitude for your service. Greetings from the west of Ireland.
Oh wow "My great Grand Mother would have been Honored, so my Great Grand Father Writing the song on this Tune. May God bless them the King and the Guards and the Army of UK.
Proud Boer here. Thank you for opening with a classic that inspired the Boers during the wars with the British. long live the ZAR. Long live the BoerVolk!
Yes, there's a reason the Royal Marines Commando March is Sarie Marais. Churchill's inspiration for the WW2 Commandos came from the Boers- he WAS captured by them, when he was a young man.😅
What an amazing performance by all, If i was a member on the parade I would have been stoked and tears running down my check when that amazing woman sang to our playing oh boy cannot watch it enough
Trying to get a reply from every British military branch, so far I’ve just gotten the RAF, also I am commenting this from your brothers in Oregon, USA. My great grandfather fought alongside you! 🇬🇧⚓️❤️🦫🌲 God save the king!
The amazing drill: lots of moving parts there! The music was epic! That solo performer was superb! The drummers - never missed a beat! The trumpeters - outstanding! Very well done all those involved behind the scenes; and an excellent job by all those on the square! From me, from far away - 3 cheers and 1 cheer more!
A great performance from the Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines ... the attention to detail and the music was absolutely superb ... it really was an outstanding performance, with the Musicians, the Drummers and the Drum Majors concentrating every minute of the show, not forgetting the Principal Director of Music who must also be extremely proud. Well Done.
The world best Royal Marines and fascination ❤with magnificent performances! Im watching from U.S.A.I do hoped to be one of the spectator there one day❤😊.Thak you to sharingThe Royal Marines Marching band to the world🌎 .It's heart breaking show that cant twink the eyes!
Absolutely enchanting, first time I see, a very stunning video showing military precision, excellent music!! Thank you very much for sharing with us "home spectators" from Italy❤
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Marching precision and different formations, incredible. Thank you to each member of HM Royal Marines for such a memorable performance.🌹
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.
That was AMAZING! I’m American, about 2/3rds English descent, come over with the Pilgrims and the Puritans, and what ever leftover Limey genes that still remain were ready to jump up and sing “God Save the King” by the end. I had no intention of sitting all the way through this UA-cam video, but I’m glad I did.What we’re there-280? 300 of you? All perfectly performed! That was remarkable! Bravo!
As an American I was blessed to live in England for 10 years and got to experience the Queen’s Birthday Parade in person. Amazing presentation and honor to be sure !!!
Was my first time going to this live on the thursday will 1000% be back in 2026 for BR26!! Loved every second by far the best military band in the world unto none
This must’ve been wonderful for the folks sitting in the stand. But they don’t get to see all the brilliant choreography. So I don’t envy them. Memaw in Annapolis.
US Marine here. I have to say it, the Royal Marines Bands are the best in the world.
Thank you 😀
Yeah, may be

Welcome Cousin.
And this is why they are the best Military Band in the world.
Without question, as an ex sailor, I dont recall hearing or seeing better, and I have witnessed dozens in my 68 years.
A great performance,
And the march is South African " Sarie Marais"
Para qué sirve esto?
I have never heard a marching band produce such a magnificent sound. An honor to hear it.

Things like this certainly make me a proud Brit 🇬🇧❤️😊
Should be made more public, eg The Edinburgh Tatoo shown annually on our TV screens, am not aware of our Marine bands being shown similar time??
Too bad the Tattoo has not yet been shown by the powers-to-be, would seem there is some trouble between the heirachy and some of the media keep getting deleted as well.
Wonderful to hear Sarie Marais been played by the Royal Marines from South Africa

❤️ As a WRAF veteran,I feel truly humbled..the Band Of The Royal Marines is truly truly magnificent..im sat here feeling so proud..xx❤️
From an American, my complements. It was a beautiful ceremony. Well done.
Thank you...we are very proud of our military as you are too of yours.
Absolutely Magnificent. Thank you from a very proud Englishman.
Why is this never shown on tv channels. It would hopefully open people’s eyes to the best of Britain.
It used to be I remember watching it each year as a child but this wonderful display didn't fit with the left wing media
This American loves the Royal Marines!
From the USA ,thank you!
Just EXCELLENT. And as they say in the Navy " BRAVO ZULU " !!!
Simply the best band. From a Brit and Légionnaire.

The discipline of the RM is on another level. It makes me so proud that they are ours.
Congratulations you are the best in the world. It is always a pleasure to see you parade and listen to all the musical pieces!! Honor to you!!
As a former percussionist and marcher, I'm at aww from the sound of the horns to the drummers. Thank you
Excellent precision drill and marching - could teach the Guards a thing or two. Great music too.
Muy, muy bien
Absolutely!
Maybe...but the Guards wear Hob boots.
The best military band in the world GSTK
Whoever sang “May it be” was amazing
