    Thank you for showing the Guard of Honour, so many others seem to want to exclude the Royal Navy element from their video's, they were in preparation and training for weeks for this away from their ships/bases, the polishing of buckles, scabbards and boots, cleaning of caps and pressing of white tops and blue jeans took many hours of their 'off-duty' time, I know my son is one of those in your video.

    • @Geordiegjs
      @Geordiegjs  2 роки тому +19

      Thank you so much for your very kind words. I wanted to include the Guard of Honour as these men and women represent our Royal Navy. Without them, there would be no Royal Marines! As a young Sea Cadet, I was in the Guard and I know how hard it is to get your kit up to standard with spit and polish, Brasso and whitening. I hope that he and his shipmates also enjoyed the video.
