      I like the dress blues and wish they could wear them more often. I didn’t think to look at the button spacing to distinguish the regiments. Thanks

      This is the main ceremonial dress for most of the Army. It's only troops of the Household Division (Foot Guards and Household Cavalry) and military bands that wear No 1 Ceremonial Dress on a regular basis.

    They are just rehearsing a regular guard change as there has been a bit of a reshuffle of band members with a few new musicians from the regional bands now posted to the Guards bands.

    I think this is Spring Drills which was a punishment by Queen Victoria (I believe) due to lacklustre marching by the band. The tradition was for I believe for 100 years which has long since passed but carried on as tradition.

      @@charlottecunningham2141 I think that's the 4pm parade at Horse Guards (When Queen Victoria arrived at Horse Guards one day and the ones on duty were asleep and or drunk(I think.) There is a segment in the documentary about the Grenadier Guards that followed the band and the Spring Drills were included. Doesn't make sense to practice without actual guards and the amount of drill sergeants in the clip would (hopefully) support my logic.

      White and red - Scots
      Green - irish
      Grey - welsh
      Some of the red ones are from the royal corps of army music. You can also recognise them by a thicker red band on the trousers but do not confuse them with the officers.
