Join me as we watch one of the greatest military parades in Gibraltar. The Ceremony of the Keys takes place once a year, and we are here to capture this special occasion. Filmed 3rd October 2024.

Great coverage. I hadn't realised this only took place once a year. I think Shaun is referring to the small ceremony carried out by volunteer re-enactors every Saturday at noon. Obviously not on anything like this scale but still a useful photo opportunity for those not fortunate enough to be present for the 'real' thing. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for watching as always, Brian! Yeah, it only takes place once a year. The only other major parade similar to this one is the Kings Birthday birthday parade normally takes place on The Kings' official birthday. Thanks for the comment.

Very interesting, why did they play the national anthem 3 times x

[@theofficalGibTV]

Hello George, how's it going? I am sorry to hear that. I hope she's okay. Everything fine with me. Thanks for watching!

Hey Linda. I have no idea why they played the National Anthem 3 times. Good to see a patriotic territory in Britain!

Absolutely brilliant work .
Can you explain the Dads army version of the handing over of the keys I've seen in January

[@theofficalGibTV]

Thanks, Shaun. I appreciate that, mate. So the difference is that this parade is a full military parade carried out by the Royal Gibraltar Regiment only done once a year. The other parade is a weekly re enactment done by a historical society. Thanks for watching as always.
