(My apologies for the one day late march list! If someone can refresh/help my memory with number 3 it will be most appreciated!)
Thank you Delvin, not 100% sure about number 3 but it definitely has the sound of Blaydon Races to me. Nice to hear Grandioso again after the Nottinghamshire Engineers played it back during the Tank Regiment Memorial Day.
@@MrBaton74 You're most welcome Sir! So good to have you back!!! I thought it was Blaydon Races but, I didn't want to be wrong, I'm trying to go through my archives and find it! It was lovely to hear Grandioso once again!
Novice chipping in here, I think this is the first time I’ve heard the march “Grandioso” and it’s glorious! Hope I hear it again. Thanks Delvin for the name and thanks MrB for recording it🥰
@@AnnofWales21 Hi Ann, there was a video I made from last November it was the Royal Tank Regiment Memorial Day and the band that lead them played that march.
Hi Delvin and Mr B. I think that march number 3 might be called "Geordie" or might have the word "Geordie" in the title. The reason I say that is because it sounds very similar to the first march in this 2019 video of the same band, from "MBE" (Military Bands Everywhere):-

Great to see you back MrBaton! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, you are very welcome.
🤭at the officer making musical sounds. Love seeing SDM Chambers and hearing new ( to me) marches
Absolutely love the light infantry... Superb
Hurrah, you’re back MrBaton🥳 I hope you’re fully recovered. Lovely informative video, nice and crisp and lots to see. Thank you for sharing this👍
I'm better than I was thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed "Keep your feet still Geordie Hinny" at Rifle Brigade pace !
Yes, glad to see you’re back, hope you’re well and thank you for the video 😊
You are very welcome.
Lines of Torres Vedras 25:05
What a march, a real lip buster for Buglers but fantastic to play.
Looks like they finally refurbished the old "ER" blue guardhouses at the palace. Not sure if they have changed the inscription to "CR" yet tho. Those nepali boys drill and march really well. Not surprising as their CO seems to be using calipers to actually measure their steps lol. Just a heads up to their charity i support. "The ghurka welfare trust" raises funds for their retired veterans who returned to nepal. It also funds various projects to help the local communities there. They have a YT channel showing the work they do. Well worth supporting if you can.
Notice poor old mr B had to keep up with their fast paced marching. Certainly a sight to behold and the bugle sound of the rifles band soaring ahead warning "to watch out". Here come the nepali boys. Foot tapping to the extreme by me as well.
Yes, got my week of cardio in on Sunday morning that is for sure. 🤣
Hi Colby! I've missed you, Grate to see you again. That Gurkhas Welfare Charity is an Awesome Charity! The Gurkhas Give their Heart & Soul to the British Army &it's a small way to Repay them for what they Give. Definitely well Deserved. We still have a little bit in our Lloyds A/C, can't think of a better place to Spend it. Thank You for Spreading the Word. Enjoy your Short Week.
@@vickyRoyalHistory Thanks vicky. Nepal is a very poor country with a very harsh environment including regular earthquakes. Its why so many young nepalese men apply to join the british army. Not just to get away but to aid their families back home. Plus the fund raising they do for this charity. Which is more about supporting the retired veterans/widows with a pension and helping local communities with basic help like earthquake resistant homes and schools. As well as fresh water and medical aid. Enjoy the summer. Lots of military events and music coming up for you to watch and enjoy. Thanks to mr B and co.
@@colby25 Hi Colby, I don't know if You know I'm a Kiwi. So we have a Link to Nepal with 1 of our National Heroes, Sir Edmund Hillary. But as Usual we need a little Nudge to Remind us sometimes.
Thank you MrBaton74, that is a very nice video as usual. Very nice images, well stabilized thanks to your skill in filming while walking, which is very difficult. Nice audio too. Well, I don't like very much the quick pace of Gurkas nor their music. I prefer far more the Welsch Guards with their nicer pace and perfect music. Also their brillant uniforms and bearskins are so elegant. I think people or tourists visiting London wish all to see them and nothing else...😅
The variety of regiments and branches of the British military is the essence of the United Kingdom's armed services, they are all very proud of their traditions and uniforms and march with great pride, and the British people love and honour them all for the service they have given to protect our nation whether they wear red, green, grey or blue uniforms. Thank you for your kind comments on the Welsh guards.
@@mikebowden4244 Thank you Mike for your very interesting comment and to have taken time to reply to me. What you say if perfectly true, I would never dare to doubt about the respect all regiments of the British Army well deserve. I only wanted to express my preferences. In fact, it's nothing rational, it's more a matter of personal taste. For instance, the bearskin is one of my favourite. It increases not only the height of the soldiers but also, it looks so fluffy, so soft to touch. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the first thing members of Guards families want to touch is their bearskin 👍 Bye Mike, have a good week.
Thank you.
An excellent video. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Regimental Band of the Scots guards 💂🏴
The Gurkhas are always re-assuring
Great music and parade..//
It seems The Band of The Scots Guards haven't heard you're Back Mr B or I'm sure they Would've Marched in Ranks of 6 to Welcome You Back. An Appearance by My Favourite DM, the Incomparable SDM Gareth Chambers MVO always puts a Smile on my Face & marks the Video as a Winner.
With a Huge Sigh of Contentment, I settle down to watch SDM Elegance Personified Swing The Scots Guards Band & the Old Guard of Welsh Guards out of Marlborough Rd & Down the Mall to Buckingham Palace. I've so missed these sights & Sounds! That Grandioso March really is something Special, those Runs & the Bugle Cameo is Spectacular! The Welsh Drummer is doing a Fine Job too, in fact the Whole Band is Great. It's good to see SDM Chambers Pulling out his #1 Mick Swagger during the Grandiose March too as he Struts his Stuff out in Front. What a Great Day to be in London.
Back at Wellington Barracks & the Unmistakable Sound of the Bugles as the Band of the Bugles & Rifles lead the New Guard Mounted by The Queen's Signals Gurkha Regiment out of WB & up Spur Road to Buckingham Palace at their Standard Quick March of 140 ppm, an Awesome Sight! That there is History come to Life. The largest regiment in the Army, The Rifles is the county regiment for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Durham, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset and Wiltshire. It currently includes four regular and three Reserve battalions. It was Formed in Feb 2007 by amalgamating The Royal Green Jackets, The Devonshire and Dorset Light Infantry, The Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Light Infantry and The Light Infantry. Those Regiments date back as far as the 18th Century, one of the first Regiments to be Equipped with Rifles was a Regiment of The Green Jackets Brigade, who Merged with the other 2 Regiments in the Brigade in 1966 to The Royal Green Jackets. Fortunately, the History of those Regiments have been Preserved in The King's Royal Rifle Corps in the National Army Museum.
It has been said that the Reason The Rifle Regiments (and the Gurkhas) March at the Higher Speed because the Original Rifle & Light Infantry Regiments that were Amalgamated in Feb 2007, had to March to Battle that Quickly to keep Pace with the Mounted Regiments of Dragoons, Hussars, Light & Heavy Cavalry etc that fought with them. Marching Alone at a Slower Pace & becoming Separated from the Mounted Troops made them an easy Target for Ambush by Enemy Mounted Troops. Whether that's the Real Reason or not, it sounds Plausible. They definitely make an Impressive Sight & it also Showcases the Bands Talent & Ability being able to Swap between 140 ppm Tempo & the More Sedate 116 ppm of the Rest of the Army & back again in the Same Parade, without any Problem & keep their Great Musical Support Brilliantly. I would think it's hard enough to play Great Music while Marching at 140 ppm as it is. Today wasn't a Day they had to Drop to the Regular ppm of the British Army, as instead of Returning to Barracks with the Old Guard, they had the Job of Escorting the New Guard of The Queen's Signals Gurkha Regiment up to St James Palace. Lots of New Marches for me Today.
Thank You very Much Mr B, that's your Cardio-Vascular Workout for the Week. It's a Great Video & Still up to your Usual High Standards. Nevermind, it's only a few more Weeks until the Real Silly Season Starts, with Trooping the Colour. If you Make it to the Colonel's Review this Year, Keep an Eye out for Hazel, Stand J, Front Row right at the End, wearing a Pink Jacket. I'm mentioning it now while I remember, that's a Busy time for me, Bang Smack in the Middle of 1st Semester Exams at Uni, so I'm bound to forget.
I Hope your Shoulder & Leg Muscles got through your first Weekend Back OK, with not too much Discomfort. Rest & Take it easy for the Rest of the Week. MOTH Says Hope it's not his Drinking Arm, that would Really add Insult to Injury. However, I know you're a Man & all Men seem to be Ambidextrous when it comes to Eating or Drinking, so I daresay You'll Manage. See you Next Weekend, take Care.
Oh Vicky, love reading your comments, you’re a mine of information!! Interesting reading. You mentioned me too!!! Thank you for remembering, not long now, can’t wait for the 8th… hope you’re well and happy 😊 💂♀️
@@hazel1605 Helloo Hazel! Yes I'm quite Well hanks. I bet you're Excited I'm sure I would be & I'd be counting How Many Sleeps there were Until The Big Day! I'm Glad you find the Comments Interesting Even if they Wind up being as Big as a Chapter of War & Peace. Have a Great Week!
@@vickyRoyalHistory never too much or too long for me Vicky, I soak it all up! Thank you 😊
Thank you again Vicky, glad I managed to get a least one full Guard Change during the weekend. Must admit after not doing much in the way of exercise the last few weeks I did huff and puff trying to keep up with the Rifles, that's why I got ahead of them when they marched up to St. James's. 🤣 Then again it could've just been old age..
@@MrBaton74 Hello Mr B! Rubbish! 35 years old is Not Old at All. I can almost Remember 35 & I didn't feel Old, in my head I was still 24. It was only when I hit the Nawty 40's, I had to admit I was getting a bit Old & when I hit 50 I started Counting Backwards. After All at 49 You're Still on the Hill, at 51 You're Over it. Lots of People Wind Back their Odometer. Confused Yet? No? Well then you're Not Suffering From Old Age!
The Offer of a Pair of Roller Skates or a Skateboard still stands, or perhaps we can all Chip in & Buy you a Fully Pimped Mobility Scooter Or Maybe a Modified Power Chair, With Fluffy Dice Hanging from a Rear View Mirror & an Air Horn from the Flying Scotsman for Health & Safety Reasons ..... for the General Public! Just Say the Word, we can always get Delvin-Pedia to set you up with a Sound System that Plays all Your Favourite Marches! 😆😅🤣🤣😂
I noted two "Royal FAIL".vans parked in.the
vicinity.
👑🚮🔚
Gurkhas at Wellington barracks London 💂🇬🇧
Even officers need a good drill Sargent
The welsh guards Buckingham palace 💂🏴
I think the police were not briefed up they march at double pace, it seemed the police on horses were causing them to slow down a little.
Rumble, your comment is quite disgusting! You clearly have no concept of or knowledge of the history of the Light Infantry Regiments of His Majesty’s Armed Forces! Even a suggestion that you equate the Gurkha Rifles to TIN soldiers is an insult to Service Men and Women across generations that have served alongside them, yes, me included!
Sorry but the quick pace of the Gurkas in both their music & march makes them look like tin soldiers & the band amateur. Give me the Guards marches every time.
The Band is The Rifles Light Infantry historical. I guess if you were in trouble you wouldn't mind their fast pace. Gurkas are the least you could call tin soldiers, renown for Bravery in the field.
The army has a mix of bands plus the Royal Marines Band are all excellent.
It is a characteristic of light infantry to quick march
You must be so sick of people telling you you're a total 🛎End.
