    Today is an extra special video as we witness the traditional Ceremony of the Constable's Dues, held at the Tower of London! It involves Royal Naval vessels mooring at Tower Wharf to present the Constable with a barrel of wine - ‘Dues’. This centuries-old tradition is still upheld, with the wine ceremoniously escorted into the Tower by the Yeoman Warders and enjoyed once delivered to the King's House. Sit back, relax and enjoy the video! 👍👏🇬🇧

      United States the State of Michigan. I have made visits to England, especially while serving in the United States Navy for 22 years retiring as a Chief Petty Officer. I had the honor to be led on a private tour of HMS Victory while my ship was in Portsmouth.

    I am watching from the USA,Pennsylvania, I am disabled so being able to see other countries and their traditions is entertaining and educational. I enjoy the old world traditions still in place in England. I like your channel. It would actually be interesting to see inside the tower of London a virtual tour of sorts. For those in the world to see these places that have no hope of seeing these places in person but are still interested.

    The helo was a Royal Naval helicopter from a Naval Air Squadron, possibly from Caldrose in Cornwall. The Operational Landing Craft were from 47 Commando (Raiding Group) Royal Marines, the band was from HMS Collingwood, and the marching contingent was from Commando Training Centre Royal Marines. Also present were RM veterans and RM cadets.
    After the ceremonial bit, we all retired to the Armoury and engaged in some socials, aided by some previously gifted "Dues!"
    A memorable day out for all concerned.

    I am watching from Ohio, USA, near Dayton. Having served for a month long exercise (WINTEX/CIMEX) at the Joint task force, Maastricht NL caves, 1982, I was privileged to serve with the British Army Security detachment. They had overall security there and had a few Royal Marines because of the proximity of the Albert Canal which flowed past the back cave entrance. Always vigilant and precise, these units are a credit to England, the royal forces, and represent British Forces around the world, in an exemplary fashion. Always enjoy watching since I subscribed a few years ago. They treated me with honor and a little amusement on occasion. I served the medical detachment there with a Belgium Medic, and was part of the USAFE Medical liaison for the exercise. I was the ONLY American in the caves at the time and I learned a LOT by watching daily operations. Good Memories and I was proud to serve and support the exercises. 🙂🙃❤💯
