There are many Irish, even republicans in the South, who also still feel they are also British. Not politically but culturally. Just because one is a loyal and patriotic Irish citizen does not mean one denies history or hates their neighbours who share the British Isles with them! One can love both Ireland and her sisters. I would never concede one inch of Irish independence but I can still admire and respect the Queen and cherish the many good historical and present ties that bind us.

GWAN BOYS! My grandfather, from the Irish Republic, served in the Irish Guards and I'm very proud of the effort you guys put in for us.

I notice that the berets appear to be of both green and a more olive it brown color in the same regiment. Is that due to different roles, specialties or do my eyes deceive me? And right at the end of the formation there's a segment of soldiers wearing much darker uniforms than the rest. Just curious. Thx.

And you get a name-check in the song, as it's based on the main character (a Highwayman) having a run-in with British army officer Captain Farrell! Local highwaymen holding up English landlords were considered national heroes in 17th century Ireland, so marching to this tune in the British army of today just shows how far we have come.

Soldiers of all lands unite.

They are truly elite soldiers. They are also the only regiment in the Brit Army that, upon returning from a campaign is allowed to go to church (mass) before reporting to the Queen. This stipulation was written into the agreement when the unit was formed. It is a traditionally Irish Catholic regiment.

The Irish Guards had tragically lost two soldiers in Irag in 2003. One was a Dubliner and the Irish authorities permitted his funeral party to parade in uniform - the first time since 1922 that British soldiers had been seen in Dublin.

So not really Irish.

God bless them all and their commrades in arms also

yes it was a war no one wanted to go back to..... more reason to have stayed 1st time in to see the end out

Anyone else find it a little funny that the first song played in their march is about an Irishman robbing an Englishman?
