Im very proud of the French Guard Republican. 25 years British army, lived in France since my retirement 2 decades ago, so very proud to see these two traditions working well together. Both dear to me.
How wonderful, with all the wars that persist in the world a chance to celebrate a peace treaty! 🕊🙏
Yes/oui. Our countries' alliances is a proof that century-old strifes can come to a happy end.
Well, up to a point. The British abandoned their centuries old enmity with France in the face of the rise of Germany as the dominant power on the continent. In that sense 1904 can be seen as the first step towards WWI.
It was, it is especially an alliance treaty.
It’s not a peace treaty. It was an alliance to go to war.
Love that expression : "Enemies for fun, but friends forever !" Big love to our longtime best and favourite enemy from France ; )
You're right. One day, a taximan from Mauritius Island told me that british and french people are like cats and dogs : they fight all day long but sleep together all night long.
I smiled when I heard that and I couldn't reply anything.
A french man.
Meanwhile in Canada the pettiness is still alive and well day to day, and it's not always just in good fun lol
Yeah and thanks to harry kane :D
WHat Shakespeare play had the scene where the French ladies were saying con and fou, etc . English words that were not so nice in French? Vive la France,le Rouyame- Unis, et les Etats-Unis.
Et le Texas aussi.
Very apt to march out to ! Bond of Friendship (in my bit of Franch )= Entente Cordiale !
The ambassador of France was received with a very beautiful ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London.
L' ambassadrice du Royaume-Uni a été reçue avec très belle cérémonie au Palais de l'Elysée à Paris.
Entente Cordiale since 1904.

every time i hear a military band like this gives me goosebumps. this little Aussie is very proud to be part of the Commonwealth. Thank you to all the soldiers, who have served our late Queen and are currently serving our King.
As a french guy, listening to " La Marseillaise " played inside of the heart of the British most famous place, well, i can die happilly.
Joking, of course.
Not forgetting the Auld Alliance - France and Scotland - the Lion Rampant with a border of Fleur de Lys.
La Garde looking quite sharp, bien joué gents.
N'oubliez pas les filles! Il y en avait au moins trois!
Queen Elysabeth would have appreciated this ceremony but she would have asked the republicaine garde with their horses.
Queen Elizabeth would have have enjoyed this Ceremony Immensely. The Number & Type of Participants would have been arranged through the State Dept.s of Each Country. The British Royals have no say in Bi Lateral
occasions like this. The only time they get any say is when they organise it themselves & Unfortunately State Events & Visits are Arranged Elsewhere.
True friendship even they fought hundred years war, yet in the end they have this kind of bond together
WONDERFUL!!!!!! We want peace around the world!!! LOVE AND PEACE FROM USA!!!❤❤❤💘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Peace, friendship, solidarity, cordial understanding, trust, beauty, joy, smiles. 😀💪🤝👏🙏
Respect to our British european brothers and sisters. We share history and values. Greatings from France and Tahiti
We are not your brothers.
@@Angelcynn_2001 you are very incorrect do some research my friend

The British and the french… kicked the shit out of each other. Look where we are now. Respect
We fought each other for a Thousand years of Rivalry an Colonial Empire dispute for World Domination. Since the Hundred Years War, through the Seven Years War 1756-1763 and the Napoleonic War 1804-1815
We finally made peace by joining forces in the Crimean War 1853-1856

@@skiteufr Really ? If it’s even before, England and France used to be one nation. The Angevin Empire
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 they were not, because the Angevin Empire was not a legal entity. It is a term used by historians to point out the territories under the rule of the Plantagenet family. But fact is the Kingdom of England was independent, but for their lands in France (duchy of Normandy, county of Anjou, Duchy of Aquitaine) they were vassals to the French King and these territories were technically part of the Kingdom of France for which they had to pay hommage for. This complex situation led to the wars between England and France and their respective French kings
Ouf ça fait du bien de voir la paix et non des guerres comme il y en a encore de trop en ce moment
Vive La France ❤
Annoying that the public were allowed across Buckingham Palace Entrance Gate when National Anthems were being played.😡😡😡😡
Oui c'est vrai !!
A great ceremony and a marked contrast to the one in Paris that was watched by hardly anyone ...the streets were alsmost empty. It is amazing that the La Garde was marching in London .....200 years ago it was just a dream of Napoleon :) La Garde did pretty well....but nobody matches British drill
Actually the Royal guard change is already well known and it's an tourist attraction everyone visiting London want to watch while the Republican guard change is just new and not a tourist attraction. And for the uniform I'admit that the uniform is less impressive,but it's not the best uniform from the Republican guard, the cavalry unifom is much better but less adequate for walking I thinks
@minothore7585 it is very impressive, if my memory serves me it is basically the same as The French Cuirassiers of the Napoleonic wars but without the cuirass
You can't match British Army drill
@@timcubison9832: A human lifespan ago , the drill of annother european country was also wellknown :-)!
I think most people here aren't aware that it's a special ceremony, they're just tourists there for the changing of the guard. It's always completely packed like that even for ordinary guard changes.
Ils ont joué des musiques militaires, mais aussi musiques d'harmonies et musiques classiques. ✌👍🤝💪👋👏
Our British guards and soldiers are so magnificent in all parades. We are the best in World. Welcome France
Couldn't agree more! compare this with the minimal affair in Paris. Good Choir though to sing the anthems.
Merci
I'm myself sorry the affair was minimal in Paris. The main issue is space around. Charles de Gaulle thought about the Chateau de Vincennes which would allow a greater ceremony with bands and even cavalry if needed
@@ThePatureauxapologies not necessary, it was all wonderfully done. I am very proud of both traditions, my old country UK and my home now, France 🇫🇷

Et le Prince Charles aussi. And also the Prince Charles. ^^
Lovely to see the Entente Cordiale celebrated, also the redition of "Avec Mes Sabots" was a nice touch. La Marseilles being played outside Buckingham Palace? Never thought I'd live long enough to see it
Thanks to Edward VII who conceived it and executed it flawlessly.
And That Ladies & Gentlemen Is How We Do That! Well Done To All. Fantastic Job!
Absolutely Brilliant Video MBE, If You Ever Want A Change Of Job, Put This Video in Your Portfolio. I Doubt the BBC or ITV Could've Done Better.
You should say "and that, Ladies and Gentlemen" is how WE do IT, that is how IT IS done, WE are the best in the world, ...French is still my Nationality, I was born and raised there, until, as a university student, I defected on to my Destiny!

Fantastic video Sir! Well done to those who took part! The Band sounded excellent as usual. Many Thanks for the video MBE, it was most enjoyable to watch!
Is the first March called bond of friendship?
Yes it is
God Save the King and Vive La France!
Fantastic video! And excellent to hear them play Marche Lorraine. 🎉

So good to see Brexit is not taken out of context and that the bond still holds strong .
The military bond between our countries is a strong one. EU members states are sovereign in their defence and foreign policies. No way France would be dictated in her policies in these fields.
if the french take anything away from the british Entente Cordiale exchange is that if you want the ''Le grande show'' you need a open wide area such as the location of Buckingham Palace so the mass can enjoy the the occasion enjoy its splendour
Yet it's Ironic that The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace was Modelled on the Champs-Elysée, complete with the Roundabout. I would've thought France had far more Places than the UK, around the Arc de Triomphe or even The Palace of Versailles, which is only about 20k outside Paris. Either of those would put BP to Shame, which Probably explains why they weren't used. Besides which almost any large Gathering in France at the moment turns into a Riot & arunning Battle with the Gendarmes.
I'm proud to be a British army veteran and good to see our friends and allies
Any chance the public could respect the French and British national anthems by standing still just for a moment. The police could of course help 🙄
Tourists are a law to themselves.
I bet many of them were not listening nor did they recognise either Anthem.😢
@@stevewaters449the police should have made them wait
@@charlottecunningham2141 Get the tourists out of the way! Clear the 'log jamb'! Most tourists are only interested in filling their "Tick List", they have no real interest in what is going on, don't recognise either Anthem, just rushing on to next "Tick"!
Glad to listen to the Lorraine March (my birth region).
thanks for the nice video...greeting from the Dutch UA-cam Marching Band Channel🎵 🎶 🎵
Thé french people
Can t forget
Thé somme 1916

And thé freedom of our France
Thanks very much british friends
Ouais alors durant la bataille de la Somme en 1916, c'est 50% de soldat français
Good to see these two countries despite many years of conflict in the past they still have each other.
Remember, the French imperial Guards considered to be the best during 18th century, but later on defeated by the Duke of Wellington with his Red Coat army together withe the Great Prussian Army in the Battle of Waterloo.
Nevertheless British and French now considered brothers.
The ambassador of France was received with a very beautiful ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London.
En même temps, l'ambassadrice du Royaume-Uni a été reçue en très belle cérémonie au Palais de l'Elysée à Paris.
Entente Cordiale since 1904.
Merci. Thanks.
VIVA ENTENTE CORDIALE
Les gens ne se fixent pas pendant les hymnes nationaux ... Tout le monde devrait s'arrêter de marcher, de parler ... Etc ... et attendre la fin des hymnes ... Perte totale des valeurs ...🤔🤔
Wonderful
Edward is so like
""""KG 6 """
Amazing
Vive l'entente cordiale .deux peuples unis pour vaincre la peste brune et maintenant la peste rouge!
It might be a bit of an offense if they were greeted by the Life Guards and other mounted regiments. The armour they wear was captured at Waterloo. The bearskins were also filched off the battlefield. Nevertheless, a wonderful mark of frienship. Afterall, none of them are stopping any boats.
I think the idea that bearskins & cuirasses were taken at Waterloo to wear, is urban myth; I can't find any evidence for it.
Bearskins & cuirasses were adopted after Waterloo, certainly, & there is an Old Guard bearskin in a museum.
😂
Me also to see the English police horses, as well, Great Trained horses allways .
How Many Noticed They've Gone into Summer Order Uniform ?
I wonder if the French realise where the guards headdress originated from...?
😂
Yes, the Scots Guards
@@suemcgregor9248 they were taken from french imperial guard at the battle of Waterloo.
@@Blaidd7542 adopted is more accurate
@@Blaidd7542 french mode and quality
In fact France is everywhere, "Dieu et mon Droit" and "Honni soi qui mal y pense" eh ^^, but also the bear hair caps which were taken and inspired by the bear hair caps of the French Imperial Guard. Imperial Guard of which the Republican Guard is the direct heir. The circle is complete. ^^
The French gendarmes are very smart and their drill is of a high standard but I would have liked this ceremony to have been done by the French Foreign Legion. They really do look impressive on parade!
🇬🇧🇫🇷
En tant que Normand ! ✌👍👍👍😀
Great video as usual, thanks for sharing! The ´ on "Republicaine" is not necessary, though :D
Sorry to be a pedant, but the accent should be on the first e, where it is required, and not the last e, which is not normally pronounced. 😊
@@kennethgarland4712 absolutely right

@@haglasu1468 Not at all, it’s important to get things right and I appreciate the heads up. Thank you!

If only we made European defense finally work without being glued to what America decides... or not. We have a lot of common values to defend, it's about time we consider it a priority.
@0:19 - 'Freindship'? Please correct.
Can somebody expla8n why some of the bands men, for instance the tuba player on the right hand side, was not wearing a white web belt ?
Excellent show!! Could it lead to other things Channel wise??
We may see the British troops marching down the Champs Elysee on France's Bastille Day.
Il est loin le temps où l'aïeul de Charles III scellait l'entente cordiale en faisant la tournée des bordels de Paris ... C'est devant le Chabanais qu'ils auraient du défiler.

Why isn't Prince Edward in uniform?
Somebody connected with this otherwise beautifully staged event, ought to have a word with the police. It was shocking to see them encourage onlookers to cross back and forth in front of the open palace gates, especially during the playing of the national anthems. The result, as captured on video, was noticeably bad-mannered and ran counter to the message the British Government was trying to convey in marking the 120th anniversary of L' Entente Cordiale. The ceremony itself, however, was yet another triumph of British military precision and presentation. The Garde Républicaine made a great impression amid the all-round faultless turnout. Needless to say, the Band of the Grenadiers was first-rate.
You try and organise tourists 🤷♂️ I take your point about National Anthems but I bet many of them weren't listening nor would have recognised either Anthem, and the Police just want them out of the way.
@@stevewaters449 True enough! But that doesn't excuse poor policing practices at an international event, fraught with diplomatic overtones. During conventional guard changes, the palace gates are usually closed and in that scenario the police permit a fair amount of foot traffic in front of the entrance during proceedings, which seems fine. But on this occasion the gates were open and the police should have been sensitive to the psychological and optical difference - or perhaps the organizers of the event should have called it to their attention. When it suits them, the police are quite good at robustly herding tourists onto the sidewalks and keeping them there. I noticed in another video of the event that as they exited through the main palace gates, Senior Drum Major Gareth Chambers and the band narrowly avoided collision with a string of onlookers being waved across their path by a police woman, oblivious to what was coming up behind her. She came close to being flattened herself! That was another instance where the police should have been stopping rather than encouraging tourist traffic in front of the gate. It's easy, I know, to be an armchair critic... 😀
@@e.chambers2973 No, I really think you are over thinking this, so much so, in fact that it was deemed so unimportant that there was not a mention of this event on national news bulletin just now.
Thank goodness that even having left the EU there is a real vestige of friendship between the UK and France.
I suspect that the UK is going to need a lot of help in the coming years, and though this is symbolic, I hope it is sign of real co-operation beneath the surface.
And were not those French soldiers smart in their marching?

The British Royal Family will approve this if The Late Queen Elizabeth 2nd wad Alive
Wonder what Sharpe would say...LoL
Hilarious that the Brits and the French don't even march the same lol.
The Napoleonic Wars have finally ended - with French troops marching into Buckingham Palace! The Entente Cordiale ended 500 years of war between France and Britain. It must have been fun selecting the music - "Boney was a Warrior"? "Mademoiselle from Armentieres"?
Tell our 😅
Sir Henry Simmerson would not approve.....sir !
🙏🕌🕋🤲💪
We British have this Grand parade whilst the French have a rather minimal (pathetic) affair. Hardly anybody around to see it.
Due to the setting IMHO. The Elysée palace is in a street.
Always a horrible echo when the bad plays in the palace forecourt.
Only because they were facing the building and only a few yards away.
Yes, the accoustics aren't great
I wish the Duchess had buttoned up her coat - not a good look flopping open whilst the troops are all dapper
Absolutely agree.
Leave the Duchess alone. She's doing her bit here, no criticism needed when the Royal Family are a bit thin on the ground. At least we've still got some Royals, the French executed theirs
@@suemcgregor9248 You are probably right, I really didn't mean to offend and I was laughing as I saw the guards exchange of the French guards coming over to England to protect Buckingham Palace. I wouldn't want the French to be guarding my home, they might run at the first shots being fired.
@@suemcgregor9248 You certainly are running thin over there as far as working Royals. I do wish the media would leave them alone as they are going through hell right now and deserve some peace and rest. My best to y'all from Texas.
@@suemcgregor9248 I have nothing but admiration for our hard working Royals and am a life long supporter of our Monarchy. I was merely making an observation which I am entitled to do. The occasion deserved her to be meticulous with her coat buttoned. Nothing to do with them being thin on the ground - it is about etiquette.
We should have joined the Central Powers 🤦♂️
Shame the police spoil it in fluorescent jackets and looking shabby as ever

Don't insult our soldiers who died by the thousands with Belgian and Dutch soldiers to help yours to run away from Dunkirk.
Get a knowledge of history in books not in inaccurate movies.
The UK resisted with a very much admired bravery. But no, "England" didn't win the war on its own. It wouldn't have without the US and the then URSS. The Eastern front was where things started to go wrong for the III Reich.
These is so awesome aspiring that it nearly brings tears to your eyes. I would love to see the American afforded an opportunity to participate in changing of the guard. That I would believe give the Americans an inspiration to ensure their alliance is seen as important today as it was in the past and is far greater than Trumps threats which is treated with disdain. America has to understand and respect that the world is not reliant on them but at the same time, past history and loyalties have endured friendly relationships and threats from Trump of past has made all Europe and Asian alliance weary of America and as such, no alliance will trust America while Trump is given access to sensitive information thus, until the Presidential election is won by Biden, no such sensitive information sharing will be enjoyed by the US.
Nothing at all to do with the US
No, thr americans got kicked out, not paying taxes
