Proud of my Celtic roots. My forebears were the O’Neills of Ulster, they had a “variable” relationship with the crowns do eventually changed from Gaelic chiefs to earldom at the “invitation “ of the crown. Ireland was barely united in the 17th & 18th century and the regional dynasties spent as much time fighting with each other as they did with outsiders, siding with the crown when it suited them. Hugh O’Neill left with the Flight of the Earls in 1607 and his descendant returned to give Cromwell a bloody nose at Clonmeil in 1650 . Politics aside, Irish soldiers have a long tradition of serving under foreign flags. A very large proportion of Wellingtons troops at Waterloo came from Ireland, and O’Neills and others fought for Spain in the Netherlands. During the Napoleonic Wars, it was the Connaught Rangers who famously stormed the breach at Cuidad Rodrigo when the other regiments had failed to get through.
Welsh Rebel You're clearly a coward who has never served a day in his life nor stood up for something lol "Welsh rebel". The amount of welshmen who fight for the Union flag. Haha
Welsh Rebel yeah there is such thing as Northern Ireland check your passport it’s right on the front you clown. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 👍🏻
What a Day That Morning The Trooping of The Color. And Afternoon The Queens Diamond Jubilee Parade by The Loyal Orange Institutions Couldn't be Better.
Both England and France used the bagpipe in processions, church services, and festivities. The first pictorial representation of the native Irish mouth blown pipe is in 1578 and it shows a two-drone pipe much like both the English and French instruments.
As a Scottish Nationalist, I say if be ye loyalists or Nationalist we are still brethren, cut from the same cloth,born on the same soil,maybe one day we will see, we have more in common than the issues that divide us,those Ulster lads are fine soldiers
The earliest Irish mention of the bagpipe is in 1206, approximately thirty years after the Anglo-Norman invasion. Obviously the instrument began to catch on in Ireland but as to whether it was the English or French variant, is anyone's guess. It certainly was not the Scottish Great Highland pipe, the Piob Mor, because that instrument had yet to work it's way up from England.
By the way, no one in Ireland or Scotland ever referred to the mouth blown bagpipe (the Piob Mor) as a "war pipe". It was sixteenth and seventeenth century English writers who first used the expression and with such continued persistence as to lead one to speculate that the instrument possibly was known in England, in earlier times, as a war pipe.
St.Patricks Day,Star of the county Down,and the holy ground,we will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar and when our money is all spent we will return to sea once more fine girl yea are.
Except the Irish were using their own version of the pipes (documented back to the 16th Century, possibly earlier). Now they use the Scottish pipes (since 1968). The Caubeen goes back to the late 18th Century. So there is tradition...but when does anything become 'traditional'?
The royal warrant major always walks in front of the Irish regimental bands, to say 'they play at her/his majesty's pleasure, and though they are Irish, they are in our service, "and by any insult they are ours" hard to believe, but true.
+UKIP Loyalist. Bollocks, there's no such thing as a "Royal warrant major" and the rest of your post is tripe as well. Where on earth did you get this crap?
Locharald Johansson you mean the drum major, any Regiment of foot guards as a drum major, Welsh, Scottish, irish, coldstreamer, or grenadier. No matter where they originate from, the are a position who are in charge of that collective, of musicians and band men. I may be wrong but to get to warrant officer ranks, within the Welsh, Scottish or irish guards you need to be a descendant of that said blood and nationality. I may be wrong but as you said 'royal warrant officer' or whatever you said is utter shite
You don't have to be from Ireland to join the Irish guards and the same for the other guards and there's a rumour (not sure how true) that most Irish guards are scouse
It's "St. Patrick's Day", which is the Regimental Quick March of the Irish Guards. The Regiment was actually raised on St. Patrick's Day in 1900 with many of it's first members being Irishmen already serving in the other three regiments of the Brigade of Guards, the Grenadier, Coldstream and Scots Guards.
Jackgymlad it's so it's all uniform like the height of each guardsman will go from tall to small back up to tall I know this as I served with these boys for six years it's also so you keep the distance from the person infront of you
@@whatonearth9809 And many lads today come from West Lancashire whose Irish ancestors arrived there at the time of the Great Famine. In WW1 my grandfathers Battalion on the western front was half English Protestants half Irish Catholics - both fought well together.
just because someone is sick of someone's actions doesn't make them a racist - do pray tell give us an official reference for that idea - we'll be really fascinated
The trombones when they turn the corner, magnificent
Have yet to hear a better lower brass section
Love it when the pipes kick in for star of the county Down
It gives you goosebumps listening to the pipes and drums.
How it is to be northern Irish or Scots or in brigade of guards under our British crown
This is probably the finest video of the regiment marching and playing on you tube. They are good and loud, playing their best tunes.
The way the bass drummer beats time is tremendous and the result is perfect marching
So love Irish Bands, specially love hearing from the Saffron & Greens🍀🍀🍀
The band is belting out some great old tunes there.
Best tunes. Great swagger. Lover the Irish Guards. (And their mascot's a winner, too)
The tunes are
1: St Patrick’s Day (the Regimental Quick March)
2: Star of the County Down (1:15)
3: The Holy Ground (1:54)
Thank you
@@hellrazer7681 you’re very welcome ☺️
that is the blue plume not the star of county down
@@donaldyeung9658 It’s definitely The Star of the County Down.
No question about it.
@@bugler75 ok maybe it just sound an awful lot like the blue plume
i love to see and hear the Irish guards .
Brilliant video... Love the pipes and bands together around the middle. Great song!

Drum Major Dane McKenzie, 1st Battalion Irish Guards leading The Band of the Irish Guards and The 1st Battalion Irish Guards Pipes and Drums
i love seeing and hearing these lads . fantastic .
That first tune from the pipes, "Rosie Mcann From the banks o' the Bann", pride of the County Down. Brilliant.
I thought title was "Star of the County Down"
First tune is 'St Patrick's Day', second is known to me as 'Star of the County Down'.
It's called "St Patrick's Day, It's the quick march of the Irish guards.

What a Day That Morning The Trooping of The Color.

The Trooping would have been the following week: it's on the second Saturday in June.

Many of them are from the south of Ireland, and many of them are from England, of Irish descent.
A good proper fighting Regiment right there.
Glorious
The father scolding the daughter for being a fart blocking her brother's video shot at the end is funny.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

"Git yer hawns showler hi, lads!" for those of you below who mis-heard the Belfast accent, that's "hands"

Fact: St Patrick's day march isn't just a march for the irish guards, it is the dismounted march of the royal Canadia hussars
Great...
Godbless the Mick's!!!
Shoulder hight meaning the spacing between each solider. I was part of these a till 2006
When the RSM says "get your arms shoulder high now" he means swinging the arms so that the hand is. shoulder height

God save the German queen
You do know that the Irish regiments copied the piping and kilt thing from Scottish regiments so its not in anyway traditional Irish wear.
John Taylor kilts are VERY VEY Scottish and pipes are a bit of a mix but the Irish use them a lot so people think of them as having them
Actually our Irish kilt is called a saffron kilt is the one that the band are wearing kilts and bagpipes are a Celtic thing not just Scottish
All Celts dressed similar, ans played the pipes! look to Welsh pipes!
you would have to be italian not to march into battle with the IRISH
You almost think that was the Scots guard they were that short and fat
Not as small as a fenian
Aren’t they pretty
Funny as fuck when NI proddys say I'm British then become IRISH guards funny that
Yes but remember the Irish Guards are part of the British Army!
They shouldn't be because they're not the Irish army.
tom varley The Irish Guards contains troops from the North and the Republic who want to fight for Great Britain. It’s true.

Yes, that's what's called being a racist, in case you don't know, you should seeek counselling or something.
not if you have cause
Oh, you "have cause" to be a racist then? Do tell, I'm sure we'll all be fascinated to hear your reasons.

Official reference ie. a dictionary not out of your head.
