And yes, I guess there is an expect of instilling fear to it. The bearskin added height to a soldier, height being an extremely desirable attribute in European armies at the time. It was also a mark of the elite, due to the costs of acquiring & making the bearskins, and was usually worn only by an army's Guards & Grenadiers. To put differently, it was the culmination of an evolution of headgear that basically saw European armies trying to one-up each other with increasingly more ornate hats.

When they march they are in perfect time, makes e proud to be English, lads, you're so smart and well trained, love you. xxx

They are specially trained to not overreact or speak to people, they are trained to march and pay attention to the crowd of people, plus they know the drills like their name, but why are their guns covered up?

Back when it was worn on the battlefield around the 19th century, as a soldier would a kevlar helmet today, it was very much a functional piece of headgear. It broke the silhouette of the soldier wearing it. Making it tough for enemy lancers, who were trained to aim for the head, to hit their mark & would strike the bearskin instead. The curb chain you see resting on the soldier's chin offered some form of protection to the face from sword & sabre slashes as well.

I love how epic they are.

I imagine for the guards/soldiers it is phenomenally boring, but oddly, it is so entertaining to watch.

@B1GMON3YJR These are the same full-time soldiers who form the backbone of British forces on operations in Afghanistan and elsewhere. The Grenadier Guards, seen here, had just returned from Afghanistan just a few months prior to when this video was filmed. They do this until they swap roles with another regiment so the men can go back to what some view as 'real' soldiering, i.e. preparing for operations and the operational deployment itself.

They are SA80s and yes, they use the same weapons when out on operations. It's been the service rifle of the UK coming 27 years now.

Nice. Smart bunch of lads. Makes me proud to see it.

The Guards are not police and so cant arrest you, the police are equally there for security just like the guards most are armed but they are more practical as they have jurisdiction both in and out the palace. if you cosue a problem the police will deal with you, each guard has a button they can press for police assistance. if you look at old video there were no police and the guards were a lot more active in watching individual threats, now the guards are more ceremonial but if a threat is posed they are armed and trained to deal with it.

1st Battalion Grenadier Guards that'll be the answer to your question sir and the lance corporal that was performing the duty of changing over the centuries isn't a commander or anything lance corporals within the British Army carry out the roles of commanding a small group known as (Relieves or Relief) and march them to their post such as what you're witnessing in this particular video. The Grenadier Guards are one of if not the oldest founding regiment of the British Army. 50% of their role is ceremonial which is what you're seeing in this vid and the other 50% is operational, these lovely people aren't tourist attractions they're serving professional infantry soldiers of the British Army. They only have their weapons loaded if the countries threat level is servere if it isn't then the weapons are left unloaded. 👊💂‍♂️🇬🇧

@HMKGman1 Yes, although I think it's more for durability than for the sound.

@MrMightymitch1 Yep he's sweating, they practically ran from Buckingham Palace. Also they wear t-shirts underneath their tunics to soak up the sweat.

Exactly at how many hours the changing made on each shift?

When they do the changing of the guards, are they wearing Haynes or Fruit of the Loom?

Que hermoso!!!!!♡♡♡♡

The coloured guardsman really do rock those red tunics.. and the bear skin for that matter

@ReassuringSmile I believe it's usually for 2 hours.

That Slow-about-turn is just funny

1st Battalion Grenadier Guards and for those who don't know the lance corporal that was performing the duty of changing over the centuries isn't a commander or anything, lance corporals within the British Army carry out the roles of commanding a small group known as (Relieves or Relief) and march them to their post such as what you're witnessing in this particular video. The Grenadier Guards are one of if not the oldest founding regiment of the British Army dating back to it's founding by Richard II in 1656. 50% of their role consist of ceremonial duties which is what you're seeing in this video and the other 50% is operational going out on operational deployments and exercises with NATO and working closely with allied forces. These lovely people aren't tourist attractions they're serving professional infantry soldiers of the British Army. Note to self they only have their SA80 L85 A2s loaded if the countries threat level is servere if it isn't and its moderate or below servere then the weapons are left unloaded with their bayonets fixed to the end of the muzzle. I'm joining the British Army as a Grenadier Guard and I cannot wait for the potential long career ahead of me 👊💂‍♂️🇬🇧

Wait what did the guard in front of the two have in his hand while the other was speaking or mouthing?

the marching pace looks very fast

thanks

The Foot Guards do not wear single chevrons. All Lance Corporals wear two chevrons while Corporals are automatically appointed Lance Sergeants and wear three chevrons. In their ceremonial uniforms, Lance and full Sergeants can be distinguished by the colour of their chevrons. Lance wear white ones and full Sergeants wear gold.

This is only to preserve tradition.

Please forgive my ignorance buuuuut. I dont get it. There dressed to kill of heat exhaustion. They have an intire seremony to change shifts ???? How long is a shift?? Why all the hoopla ???

Is it the Liberty High School Grenadier Band? I've always wondered, do you happen to know how and where they source their uniforms from?

why at changing of the guard is the same regiment and company the old and new guard

Agreed. I remember some years ago, I think it was around 2007 when you no longer saw the 2 radiomen marching at the back of every procession. Maybe had to do with the IRA being disbanded or I think more so of the police having a better hold on the whole security situation.

what's the reason of the back and forth walk at the end? and why that exact amount of times?
