Beating Retreat in Brussels 1984 commemorating the 40th anniversary of the libration 1944. British bands and Muziekkapel van de Rijkswacht participating.
Sad so many of those veterans have now gone. Great that there are videos out there like this to remember and respect them. Thanks for posting this on you tube. Im glad we still honour and respect the belgian war dead at the cenotaph in the uk each year too.

Yes they were old time Guardsmen
As an ex Riflemen i have to swallow my pride and say what a fantastic Tattoo and the Guards drill was fantastic
And todays drill and army numbers not good at all I think 1980s the B A could boast 150 000 plus reserves 1960s was 350 000 man power.
22:53 They did play “ Sambre et Meuse”, an old Light Division favourite 👍🏼
