doggo well, we’ve been doing it longer than most... I have to say that i’ve seen sharper performances in previous years. (Let me add straight away...I couldn’t do it...I struggled to keep step in remembrance day parades....the band were always a couple of hundred yards in front, so you saw the front of the column set off before the sound of the drum beat reached us...confused my little brain)
Doesent mean crap. The US got beaten in Vietnam by flipflop farmers. The US and NATO was beat in Afghanistsn by sandal farmers. In Korea they were beaten back by sandal farmers. Discipline doesent mean crap if the orders are garbage and if they cant shoot right
The Poms do this stuff better than any other country. The whole country is a history lesson. 3 million tourists each year come to the UK to watch this. Commonwealth countries all do this to various degree. The same movements, music, formations, rank system...everything. What is also worth remembering is that these are all regular combat soldiers. In the Guards who went to Afghanistan, the bass drum player had a leg blown off. Within a year he was back there in the band. You would never know.
Our respect to you Bill for saying so, this is our history here and please God they never disband it. The old England is dead but this pride of ours keeps hanging on.
At dunkirk they had no choice and France chose to stay so they could make sure the allies got back safely and then they surrendered if church hill was around at the time instead of propaganda drops on berlin it would have beem bombs
Though it might seem archaic and old fasioned, you can't beat a beat of pomp and ceremony and us Brits do it better than anyone, proud to say I served for six years in the Scots Guards and did one troop 1987 .
Thank you for this superb video. I especially appreciated the commentary, explaining what is happening. As a South African, watching from across the sea, I so admire the incredible perfectionism of the British forces. The traditions, pride and respect of these soldiers is something that we sorely miss in our own country.

France, England, two of the oldest titans this earth ever bore. We may not have the same relevance as before, but the simple fact of being still here after so many years and wars is a testimony of a nation's worth. May our countries both flourish and preserve their character no matter our side of the channel, god save the queen, vive la France.
Steady! We wish you had actually said at Waterloo, in response to the request for the Old Guard to surrender, "Merde". But, you insist that some officer gave some diatribe. No. Soldiers would have given the monosyllabic "merde" as a reposte. A brave fight.

During lockdown I have been walking around the outside of my house at least 65 times per day, using marching music it helped make it easy. In 12 weeks I walked about 140 miles.
I worked on The Mall and we were able to use the balcony and watch the Queen come down The Mall sidesaddle. She was beautiful. Love the slow march. Very emotional and proud.
There was a time when it was possible to watch the Trooping on TV, with the absolute minimum of commentary and no chat. If only we could return to those days!
@@Timonster007 No one has EVER had the pride that the British have had, but only a British person can witness that pride, it is something you will never know.

AWESOME. My Mother is from Toronto, Canada. I have always appreciated the Royal Family. My Great Grandfather was a Commissary General. General John Mason of the British Army.
Irishman here. Just wish there was never tensions between are two countries. I have relations who were in the British army during ww2. When the British empire was massive yous struck fear into the heart of every country you invaded.
I love it when he shouts up loudly orders and military music too. It's looking good. Red coat warriors. God save the Queen! You can be proud when you are British and saw this ceremony 😉👍
I saw trooping the Colour with my Late Father , ex Major Royal Engineers when I was 6 years old. His favourite programme on T.V marking the Queens official Birthday.
A proud moment for any soldier to troop their colours with their battle honours on it in front of their Queen and to do so smartly and with excellent timing.
Is that a standard enlistment- 6 years? And does the Queen have the draft? Yanks could enlist for 6 years and we do have an inactive draft that only requires males to register.
I now live in Canada, And have since 1989, It took a long time for me to respect this country, but as I age I have developed a great respect for tradition, Quality and Pride in one's self and Country. so I now sign most of my reply's with Rob From Canada As I watch trooping of the Colour (Color) I feel Great Pride in being a member of The Commonwealth. Sir: I Thank You for taking the time to reply back. Rob From Canada
Fpr the benefit of those who have never walked across this parade ground - it slopes in two directions, the lower corner near the end of Downing Street becomes a mini lake in heavy rain, the surface (bar the central road which goes through the arches), is sandy, therefore, not solid. Up and down, up and down you go - not quite like a beach, but nothing like Red Square or anything like that. How they manage to retain their formation as well as they do is totally amazing - though the occasional ankle goes over - I gather it's all about counting, countng, counting.
A flag is just a bit of cloth it what flag represents is what on respect. The a lot happening the in the USA the even you own citizens can't respect and piece of cloth and what it stands for
This Trooping The Colors is very, very excitingly beautiful to me! In her younger days, Queen Elizabeth 11 was on horseback... a truly great sight to see! I see her watching here, and I would guess that she just might be thinking that it would be great to be on horseback rather than sitting there!! Ha! What a GREAT woman is Queen Elizabeth 11! Long Live The Queen!
Speaking as an American Civil War reenactor, keeping alignment, pace, maintenance of frontage and military bearing IS 'a bit of a miracle' at any time. It takes a Hell of a lot of practice even for troops of the obvious quality of Guards to get it right. My respects to all involved.
@@kelvinktfong And all these maneuvers just put weight of shot onto the enemy. :) Two centuries worth of very smart people tried to simplify and clarify the orders to get formations into proper order to deliver it.... with only moderate success.
If it were not for the the British Empire, Canada would have been nothing more than a giant trading outpost for natural resources. Instead it is home to some of the greatest centers of learning, first among them McGill and Queen's College, a world famous police force and judiciary, public servants of the highest probity, clean and light handed government. That is the legacy of Great Britain on the Canadian Commonwealth. God Protect Canada. God Save the Queen!!
My father served in the Scots Guards back in the late ‘50s and did the Trooping twice, he said most of the men would rather do a tour in the jungles of Malaysia than ceremonial duty, they said the jungle was easier.
Having watched Prince Phillips funeral I can only imagine how terrified the pall bearers must have been, especially having to stand with a coffin on their shoulders during a minutes silence.
If disillusioned British people wonder what their culture is, THIS is your culture, be proud of it. Like the Pacific islands and NZ Haka, or the Ghurka Khukri dance, this is the British war dance. Order, bright colours, pomp, ceremony, massed bands. Its a wonderful thing.
@Herman Greenfield That the government's of China and North Korea are conservative. Pity you ran out of your brain medicine just as you were getting started.🤯.
@Herman Greenfield Sweetheart first off if your gonna insult me try and spell, stick with your big red crayon when you write cos your not very competent with your finger. Now calm your passions halfwit and enjoy real men marching not terrified half starved North Koreans or Robotic Chinese.
Herman Greenfield Hahaha you can’t compare the mass band of the British army to any other. No country has anywhere near the quality when it comes to bands. There is a reason the grenadier Guards band is flown all over the world to perform at the cost of millions because they are the best. This year the grenadiers are organising the trooping so it’s going to be extra special.
To the foreign viewers there are 5 regiments of Foot Guards the unforms all look incredibly similar? Well yes, but you can tell them apart by the button arrangements on the tunic and the decorations on bearskins. Coldstream Guards - buttons in groups of two - red hackle on right hand side Grenadier Guards - single buttons spaced - white hackle on left hand side Scots Guards - buttons grouped in three - no decoration at all Irish Guards - buttons grouped in four - blue hackle on the right hand side Welsh Guards - buttons grouped in five - white and green hackle on the left hand side Hope this helps.
I am a proud VETERAN who served his Queen and Country for over 7 years and in 2 conflicts So what did you do to serve your country dipstick? ! let me guess FUCK ALL
As a Yank, I have grown to learn that one does not mess with England, or Canada without pissin' off us, as well. (Edit: 29 May 20) ACK! That goes cheerfully and respectfully to the ANZACS as well! 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 You guys kicked Rommel's ass in North Africa! Don't piss U.S. off...
Red was a form of camouflage, because from a distance all the red blurs into one - that's why British soldiers are called 'redcoats' because all British troops used to wear red tunics in battle.
Not so, locally produced Stroudwater red cloth was reasonably economical, reasonably dyefast and looked good, at least temporarily. For rank and file, when on campaign their cheaper red coats quickly faded to a russet red. Officers wore scarlet, but no-one needed camouflage on the 17th century battlefield. In addition, until about 1700 some regiments were still wearing grey, blue, or green coats.

of all the world's greatest heroes there's non that can compare to the ta ra ra ra ra ra ra of the British grenadier 💂💂💂
@Herman Greenfield, under penalty of death, it's the leftist way.
Keep spewing that well-chewed lie.
@Herman Greenfield That the government's of China and North Korea are conservative. Pity you ran out of your brain medicine just as you were getting started.🤯.
@Herman Greenfield Sweetheart first off if your gonna insult me try and spell, stick with your big red crayon when you write cos your not very competent with your finger. Now calm your passions halfwit and enjoy real men marching not terrified half starved North Koreans or Robotic Chinese.
Herman Greenfield Hahaha you can’t compare the mass band of the British army to any other. No country has anywhere near the quality when it comes to bands. There is a reason the grenadier Guards band is flown all over the world to perform at the cost of millions because they are the best. This year the grenadiers are organising the trooping so it’s going to be extra special.
To the foreign viewers there are 5 regiments of Foot Guards the unforms all look incredibly similar? Well yes, but you can tell them apart by the button arrangements on the tunic and the decorations on bearskins.
Coldstream Guards - buttons in groups of two - red hackle on right hand side
Grenadier Guards - single buttons spaced - white hackle on left hand side
Scots Guards - buttons grouped in three - no decoration at all
Irish Guards - buttons grouped in four - blue hackle on the right hand side
Welsh Guards - buttons grouped in five - white and green hackle on the left hand side
Hope this helps.
Kudos to you sir, a voice of reason in a sea of ignorance :)
British ruled half of the world because of their discipline and high traditions
Yet one more reason that validates my freakin love of being born "ENGLISH"

We have this ceremony in Kenya too , every 12th of December
As a Yank, I have grown to learn that one does not mess with England, or Canada without pissin' off us, as well.
(Edit: 29 May 20)
ACK! That goes cheerfully and respectfully to the ANZACS as well! 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

Us three, we’re soul mates
Just perfect! So very professional!
Red was a form of camouflage, because from a distance all the red blurs into one - that's why British soldiers are called 'redcoats' because all British troops used to wear red tunics in battle.
Not so, locally produced Stroudwater red cloth was reasonably economical, reasonably dyefast and looked good, at least temporarily. For rank and file, when on campaign their cheaper red coats quickly faded to a russet red. Officers wore scarlet, but no-one needed camouflage on the 17th century battlefield. In addition, until about 1700 some regiments were still wearing grey, blue, or green coats.
in 1988 i saw the trooping of the colour in person and i loved the british grenadiers song.it has stuck with me ever since.
[THANK-YOU]-A-FELLOW.CANADIAN.

They are so synced and that's just in ceremony traditions ❤
