No-one does Ceremony, Tradition etc like the British. It's these Traditions that are the backbone of everything that makes Britain Great. Pride and Ceremony are truly marvellous. Thank You very much.

Wonderful traditions, I cant imagine an elected president being anywhere near to what a king or Queen can represent, not in a month of sundays.

God bless our loyal soldiers ❤ 🇬🇧

Here in the US our soldiers according to height and weight per individual are given a target weight that they're encouraged to maintain. They can't be overweight and be on active fury the exception are the officers. I know this because my close cousin had to be put on a diet and exercise routine for 6months until he was back under his weight target. He ended up packing on muscle instead. During that time he was removed from active duty and was returned to it wasn't he lost the weight . he was Navy though .

So 🆒😎😊😁🤩

Very serious practice every year!

At 14.37 One of the officers seem to be marching any a different pace. Some of the dressing needs improvement. It seems that the current generation lack discipline and dedication on the parade ground.

Oh my goodness, those beards look utterly ridiculous . Such woke nonsense it was to allow them. I knew the RAF would give in but prayed that in my 29 years in the Blues and Royals we would NEVER see the same. Unfortunately….
