@@deliadunstan846 Close, but she actually thought one stripe was vulgar so you will never see a guardsman with only one stripe; the three stripes represent a lance-sergeant, which is the equivalent of a corporal, whereas three gold stripes mean a sergeant see two stripes sometimes referred to as a gold-sergeant. HTH
In the foot guards, there rank structure differentiates slightly whilst in comparison with other regiments in the army, particularly infantry regiments, it harkens back to Victorian time in which Queen Victoria believed seeing her foot guards with only one stripe was a insult. So on the guards, the chaps you see with two stripes, are called corporals, but identify as lance corporals to the rest of the army with those with three white stripes being called a lance Sargent, whilst again compared to the rest of the army they are considered corporals. The lads with the three golden chevrons are actual Sargents
On the Retreat to Corunna, when the British Army behaved appallingly and broke Sir John Moore's heart, the only regiment which held discipline was The Guards, so perhaps the Spanish felt safe.

Very interesting to see this, and to wonder what the context was. And quite a good crowd out for our boys - thank you, Spain!
As one would expect, the band does an outstanding job. Strong tuba player closest to the camera. Thanks for posting.
Brilliant.
Even the police were marching in time towards the end of the vid.

What’s the last song called?!!!
Murcia is in the south of Spain so those soldiers must have been sweating buckets under those bearskins.
it wasn't to warm from what i can see
nice tunes
No you can't have Gibraltar back, but enjoy the music
Keep them distracted haha
That's exactly what I thought this moment.

@@raulgarciaibanez5932 good for you but it ain't happening, independent Catalonia? Give back Spanish Morocco? 😊
Whats the name of the first song?
I wonder what this is for.. maybe the Peninsular War?
Love the canzuk flag
I'm a big supporter of that flag! (I don't like the name tho,just a bit too cheesy)
I think it is part of the Reyes Magos (3 Wise Men ) celebrations.
Why are some sergeants stripes white and others gold on the uniforms?
white stripes means a corporal.queen victoria thought corporals vulgar

British army best in the world
Agreed when it comes to coolness
Remenber Dunkirk
@@MultiGalland the British Expeditonary Force consisted of 400,000 men. The French army had 2.5 million men in the north alone
When the British colonize Spain.
Never happened.
Sharp did it
@@sonofdurin8044 its a joke
Or perhaps, when Britain & Portugal aided Spain in overthrowing their "Northern Dictator", a little over two centuries ago ;)
Can we annex benidorm please

Have the bloody Spanish not heard of "barriers" ??

If you knew anything about the 20th century history of Spain, you might understand why that is the case.
Do you have a problem behaving yourself that you need the government to put barriers for you? Bitch
@John Dupreez that’s rich coming from an Aussie. The brothels in Pattaya surely like you.
In GB you need barriers in a parade for childrens? Wow! your problem with alcohol is bigger than i thought
Everything you need to know about Britain.
Que vergüenza te da la España actual...
Los piratas ingleses, nunca, nunca deberían desfilar en España.
You never said that when Napoleon was chased out of Spain 😂
