    Pride, dignity, splendour and style. All there to be seen and admired. Marching bands such as this are the envy of many countries and then there's the performance of the pipes to top it all off. No wonder the participants had their heads held high. Have to mention those glorious cymbol flourishes at 2:41 , pure artistry. Thank you to all participants either side of the camera lens👍

    The Band of the Scots Guards are always Impressive when they March in Ranks of 6 & this is No Exception. ASDM Scott Fitzgerald has them Nicely Set Marching up Horse Guards Avenue to Birdcage Walk & they Negotiate the Required Split round the Traffic Island & Reform Perfectly. Not as easy as ASDM Fitzgerald makes it Look, especially 6 Wide, but They're Consummate Professionals & it shows. The Band sounds Very Good & are Parading with 3 Bass Trombones today & The Pipes & Drums really Get the Heart Thumping. Another Special View today is to see The Regiments "Old Boys" including some Chelsea Pensioners. The Scots Guards Regiment always has a Good Turnout of their Veterans, there's a Great Deal of Pride in this Regiment, you can almost feel it & there is absolutely No Doubt, These Men have Still Got it. Drill is as Perfect as they can make it, Well Done Gentlemen & Thank You. It's also very Nice to see a Detachment of Currently Serving Scots Guards Marching Behind. It's a Reminder of The Circle Of Service The Men of The Scots Guards Give & The "Family" they belong to & in the Fullness of Time, these Young Soldiers will become The "Old Boys" of The Regiment & they in Turn will be Followed by Youngsters. The Music they are Marching to as they head along Birdcage Walk to Wellington Barracks is a very Special Piece of Music, it's Called 'The Crags Of Tumbledown Mountain' & was Written by a Pipe Major James Riddell on the Back of an Empty Ration Packet, after the Battle of Tumbledown Mountain 13-14th June 1982, in the Falkland's War. The 2nd Battalion of The Scots Guards lost 8 Men Dead & 43 Wounded in that Battle & in the Marching "Old Boys" there will be some who Fought in that Battle. That Music will be especially Poignant for them, who may have lost their 'Brothers'. This Parade was Special for another Reason too. You may have Noticed that ASDM Fitzgerald is wearing State Uniform today, it's the Uniform worn by the Drum Majors of The Household Division if they are Parading in front of Royalty. During the Parade at Horse Guards, the Honorary Colonel of The Scots Guards, HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent, Formally Retired from that Position & Handed it Over to HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, Youngest Son of the Late Queen Elizabeth ll & Prince Philip. There has always been Strong Ties to Scotland For The Windsors, with The Queen Mother being Scottish & of course Balmoral Castle being the Summer Holiday Destination of Queen Elizabeth ll's Family. I'm Sure The Duke of Edinburgh will be most Proud to be the Honorary Colonel of the Scots Guards & be as Involved with the Regiment as he can. I'm Equally sure that the Regiment will be sad to farewell The Duke of Kent, after almost 50 years of Exemplary Service. This is a Great Video Mr ME & it's great to see them all back in the Red Tunics. It looks to have been a Lovely Sunny day in London, Nice Spring Weather. Thanks for Sharing this Video.

    Hi Vicky, I initially thought it was Delvin's favourite DM too, his style is similar in its stately nature.Rather good I thought😎 But seanelmeer is correct in that it's DM Euan Gordon of the Scots Guards. Fairly recent appointment I think, about 6 months ago. But overall what a splendid turnout. The pipes adding the icing on the cake😊

    @@seanelmeer Hello Sean, Thanks for the Correction. DM Gordon bears an uncanny Resemblance to ASDM Scott Fitzgerald. It's been a long time since I've seen a DM from the Scots Guards, do you happen to know if his Appointment is Permanent?

    @@AnnofWales21 Hi Ann. I have to say DM Euan Gordon bears a Striking Resemblance to ASDM Scott Fitzgerald, their Profiles are almost Identical. It's the State Uniform that does it, No Plume for Additional Regiment Check & as an Identifier. Plus ofcourse ASDM Fitzgerald's change in Style, that Over/Under Style of Signalling made him Stand Out from the Crowd, now it's gone, it's harder to pick him out. As you Say, this is a Brilliant Turnout, but then The Scots Guards Always have a Good one. Great to see them back in Summer Order, those Iconic Scarlet Tunics always seem to be Brighter, like the new Blossoms of Spring & they always look alive & Full of Energy when the Shed the Athol Gret Great Coats. Have a Great Week & Stay Safe.

    My Humble Apologies to Drum Major Euan Gordon of 1st Battalion Scots Guards. I named the Drum Major as ASDM Scott Fitzgerald in my Comment in Error. The DM leading todays Parade is Actually DM Euan Gordon. You did a Very Good Job Sir! I look forward to seeing you Again.
