    The sound-engineers who recorded this deserve a medal. Placing the microphones to pick up all the sound over such a wide space with such immediacy was a real feat.

    Its the way they play solidly for over an hour on what looks a hot day and the marching, thats what gets me, you can't tell the difference between them marching or standing still playing. The mix of modern and traditional always gets me as well. Bravo to everyone involved.

    Absolutely love the Royal Marines Bands. My husband served 12 years in the ‘mob’ ending up as a Petty Officer in the Fleet Air Arm.
    I saw many Beating of the Retreat and Sunset ceremonies as a young navy wife.
    I found out that my Great Great Grandfather Samuel Parker joined the Royal Marines and served in the Crimean War. He died in 1909.
    So proud of my links to the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines.

    Who ever took the decision to have the v.i.p. stand near to the war memorial should be given a tot of rum(or two).So much better for all watching the display and to have the back drop of the beautiful buildings.When Prince Philip took the salute years ago facing the sun,the Queen would be sat up in the window with the darkest of sun glasses on because of the sun right in her eyes.Great performance,I would not expect anything less.
