What a workout in challenging crowd and weather conditions, Mr. Baton! Despite the brief soaking, the hitch in leaving the parade ground and the disruptive whistler(s), the band came through with resolute stoicism and great shafts of musical sunshine, or so it seemed to me. A great troop this year with excellent music, an outstanding performance by the guardsmen and a reliably good display by the mounted troops. Hugely enjoyable. Hope your camera and lenses survived the downpour. At least it held off until the end, and on a positive note, those overcast skies gave you great saturated colour.

Thanks very much for this, Mr B! You've got lots of very good content in spite of the conditions being far from ideal for filming (or for very much else). I'm glad you got a complete and close-up recording of the Band of the Coldstream Guards playing the brass band march "Punchinello" (starting at about 07:05 ). It was a great shame, although not unexpected, that the weather did its worst for the march back. However, most of it was still there - the only main thing that seemed to be missing was that the mounted Band of the Household Cavalry very understandably didn't play on the way back - so they didn't, for example, play "Cavalry Walk" which would have otherwise been at about 37:30 . I did watch the BBC coverage live, but it didn't start until about 10.30 so didn't really show the early parts of the bands and troops, etc, on their way towards Horse Guards Parade.

Well they do this 3 times in a short period of time so i guess it would have had to have rained at least once during that time. Sods law it would have to be during the main event tho. At least no heat stroke this year with soldiers and bandsmen fainting. Which is a good thing. Raining cats and dogs, with brollies to the fore. Good old british weather and the good old british stiff upper lip to carry on enjoying themselves regardless.

You would've done well towing a Whaler to London & could've made a Fortune as a Ferryman. I hope your Shoulder stood up OK, take heart in the fact that when it fully heals you will more than probably have your own Personal Barometer to Warn you of the Presence of inclement Weather! I hope you enjoyed Yourself. I personally did not enjoy the Parade at all, with the possible exception of the 2 New Pieces of Music & the Story that goes with them. I have to Admit & Apologise to the Divisional Director of Music, Lieutenant Colonel S Halliday. In my Ignorance, I accused him of Laziness in Setting the Music for the Neutral Marches from the Standard Change of Guard March Lists, such as Arnhem, Machine Gun Guards etc. I can not Apologise strongly enough or Understand how I could be So Stupid. The March List for this Parade was set in Acknowledgement of The 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings & various other Events Linked to them. I am ashamed. Nothing for it but to look to The Garter Ceremony on Monday 17th June. I'm very pleased to note that HRH Brigitte, The Duchess of Gloucester, is to be a Royal Lady Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. She has been a Stalwart of Support for 50 years, along with her Husband, Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester, to the Crown since 1974 when Prince Richard assumed the Title. Congratulations Your Royal Highness, it's very well Deserved. Hope you had a Good journey home Mr B, terrible Weather to be driving in, but I daresay you're used to it, from what I remember from when I lived there, today's Weather is far more indicative of a British Summer than last Years Heat was.

don't be so ashamed. It took me a while to understand the connection, but obviously not knowledgeable about anything. The commentator on Sky gave good insights but even he was stuck with quite awful camera work. The Independent and others just seemed so obsessed with windows, Royal Banner, empty platform and the Queen's foot to show the actual parade.

@@ardeladimwit Hello ardel, I watched Sky for awhile, Their Commentator claimed to be an ex Scots Guard. Some of his Comments were interesting but a Number of them were so inaccurate I find it hard to believe he was involved in anyway with The Household Division. For example, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery don't have a Colour they Ride forward with at the head of their Procession, the Number 1 Gun Serves as their Regimental Colour. Also the Companies of Guardsmen don't Stand in the 'L' Configuration to recall how it Looked at the Battle of Waterloo! They Stand in the 'L' Shape because The British Standing Army, such as it was at the time of the Restoration of Charles ll to the Throne, when they were trained to Form " Hollow Squares", a Swiss Trick for Defending against Cavalry Attacks. The Square was formed by 2 'L' Shaped Formations of Infantrymen when an attack by Enemy Cavalry was Forming. On the Command "Form Squares" the Infantry would Form 2 'L' Shapes, ideally where possible the Long side of the L would be 50 men & the Short side would be 25 Men & there would be at least 3 ranks, preferably more. They would then join together in Squares of 50 men by 50 men & the 3 Ranks would be 1 on their Knees, 1 Standing & the last would be Standing behind & between the Standing Rank. They were set in a Chequer Board Pattern, so each Square was Covered by another Square behind & between, able to cover each other & Pour in devastating fire on the Cavalry Attackers. They were faced with Four Sides of Pikes, Muskets (when everyone had them) & in the Early days of the Hollow Squares, Battle Axes & even some Cross Bows. The Infantry targeted the Horses, disembowelling them if they tried jumping over & Cutting or Stabbing Forelegs if the Cavalry came within Range. In the Centre of the Squares, were Ammunition Boxes, Field Dressing Kits & the Wounded, all men not forming the Squares would be reloading the Muskets & attending to the Wounded. They were definitely used at The Battle of Waterloo, there are many accounts written by Officers on Both Sides of their Effectiveness, but that was towards the End of the Kind of Battlefields where they would be Needed. The Hollow Square Defence started in 1660 because Charles ll had seen them while in Exile in Flanders & bought the Concept back to England when he was restored to the Throne. Ironically, he also bought back a Regiment of Cavalry, made up of Cavaliers & the Sons of Noble Englishmen Loyal to the Crown & King. These were the Kings Body Guards while in Flanders & Charles ll called them his Life Guards. The Descendants of those First Mounted Men to Guard the King's Life, are on Parade in this Video. I find it incredible that any one who served in the Household Division, would not know the Story of the 'L' Shaped Companies, though to be fair, with all the Cuts & cost saving Measures, with now only 6 Companies of Guards as opposed to the much Greater Numbers of Guards who used to Form this Parade, it maybe hard to make the Connection to the Hollow Squares of years gone by.

Bonjour, Bonjourto. The "Doggie" is Seamus & hr is the Regimental Mascot of The Irish Guards, the Regiment who Trooped their Colour on this Parade. He is the only Regimental Mascot in the Whole British Army who is allowed to Lead their Regiment on Parade. Other Mascots may March with their Regiments on occasion, but they must March at the Back of their Regiment. Seamus has been with the Irish Guards since he was a Puppy & has been Well trained & knows the Drill. He is well loved by the Irish Guardsmen & I think Spoilt now & then as well. He is more likely to think all those people accompanying him on his Walk are his Servants rather than to be wondering who they all are.

Hi Delvin! If you don't know already, your intuition earlier this year was bang on about Gareth Chambers. In the BBC1 Birthday Parade broadcast, the commentator, Clare Balding, announced a couple of times that it was his final troop! If he was appointed to the senior post as you thought in July 2021, it would seem to have been only a three-year term, although he was a drum major in the division before that. A big loss for the Household Division, I would think, as his MVO would seem to confirm. By any measure, he's had a fantastic run: led the HHD bands in two troops in which his regiment formed the escort, and in birthday parades that marked the late Queen's platinum jubilee and the first for a King in 70 years, not to mention his big roles in the late Queen's funeral, the present King's coronation, and in sundry diplomatic, regimental, civic and in other national events. Incredible really. Also, according to Balding, it was the last troop for Lt. Col. James Shaw, the Garrison Sergeant Major's boss, so big changes appear to be in the wings for the HHD.

Hello Delvin-Pedia! I was disappointed not to hear "Slattery's Mounted Fut" but Consoled myself with "Paddy McGinty's Goat". I didn't Notice if the Woodwinds were playing on the Return March, I couldn't hear them but that means nothing. A shame the Weather couldn't hold off just a little bit longer. Did you watch the Actual Parade Live as you usually do? I have to admit to Unholy Glee, Major Perseus blotted his Copy Book in the Colonial's Review because he wouldn't Settle in the New Position they had the Mounted Band in. So they bought Major Apollo in his stead & he was even Worse! People tend to treat Horses as Dumb Animals, but all the Trooping the Colour Veteran Horses, knew they weren't where they Normally would be, they take note of landmarks around them & mark the Spot they should be on. So if the Silly 2 legged Creatures move somewhere else, the Horses try to get back to where they know they should be & behave rather Badly if they can't. MOTH & I took bets on whether the Grey the Field Officer in Brigade Waiting was mounted on was going to Bolt with him as it did in the Colonel's Review. It was very Fidgety but he controlled it very well, Well done him! Hugz to you & Yours 🤗 Hope all are well.

@@vickyRoyalHistory Helloooo My Dear Vicky!!! Hope you're keeping well! Slattery's Mounted Fut was played rather quickly, they cut-off half way down the approach road. Specially after they marched off twice, they had to halt at the beginning of the approach road, from what I could tell the King's carriage wasn't ready to roll off. Plus the weather in typical British weather fashion came chucking it down! Good job spotting the difference in sound, the Woodwind section had their instruments under their arms or up their sleeves. So the Massed Bands were almost a Brass Band, if it weren't for the Saxophones and Bassoons. Difficult to hide those up a sleeve! Lol! Yes, I was awake at 4AM to watch it live. Did you hear about SDM Gareth? This was his last Parade as SDM. A bittersweet Troop! I don't blame the horses, it was quite the interesting troop. Lots of new things left, right, and centre! That was the Major General's Horse that bolted off in the Review! His hat also went flying! Good thing it was more calm this time around! The Chief Librarian sends many Huggz to you both!

They are Members of the Republican Movement. They never dared to behave like this when Queen Elizabeth ll was alive, the Public wouldn't have Stood for it. There has been Conjecture however since 2021 that when the Queen Died, the Monarchy would Die with her. It's been hotly Debated for Years, especially around the Commonwealth. I myself think that The late Queen was so well loved & respected, there was never anything going to Happen while she was alive. Charles however is a very different sort of Monarch, so the Republican Movement is pushing hard for Change. Those undecided yet, will watch what happens under Charles Reign & then make their Decision, until then The Monarchy is safe.

It doesnt really matter. We are a democracy and they are free to protest peacefully as much as they want. Shame they cannot do it by lobbying politically through the democratic process instead of trying to spoil others enjoyment of occasions like this. And its just going to alienate more people against their cause anyway. So why do it? Just shows the type of characters involved. Extreme political activists are always going to be the most active and vocal in our society. Fortunately for us they are always going to be a tiny minority within it too. The monarchy with all its pomp and circumstance will survive as long as it changes with the times. Which it has and will continue to do so if necessary. Too much ingrained into our history and culture now to just disappear completely, as well as it being one of our biggest tourist attractions and a useful exponent of soft power for the nation abroad.

There is one thing that Puzzles me, The First Band to Arrive was The Band of The Grenadier Guards led by DM Stu Laing, which is Right & Proper as they are the Most Senior Foot Guards Regiment in the Household Division. The Second Band is The Band of the Coldstream Guards, led by ASDM Scott Fitzgerald, fair enough, they're obviously Following the Order of Seniority. However, why is The Grenadier Guards Corps of Drums Marching with The Band of the Coldstream Guards? It has been Pointed out to me quite Forcibly by Multiple People in the Last Month, that Corps of Drums & Pipes & Drums of The Household Division, always March behind their own Regiment's Band. I know that's not Strictly True, but am disinclined to enter into Argument with People who should know far better than I. So why aren't the Grenadier Guards Corps of Drums Marching behind the Band of the Grenadier Guards? Furthermore, the Most Commonly seen Corps of Drums are those of The Welsh Guards & they aren't on Parade! There is also the Point that I was told that last Year's Parade did not have Pipes & Drums because The Trooping Regiment, The Welsh Guards did not have Pipes & Drums, so there were No Pipes & Drums. They did have a Corps of Drums, so all Regiments with a Corps of Drums had them on Parade. I was further told that the Only 2 Regiments without a Corps of Drums, The Scots Guards & The Irish Guards, had Pipes & Drums, if either Regiment was Trooping their Colour, there would only be Pipes & Drums, because they don't have Corps of Drums, no Corps of Drums would be Paraded. Confused? Well so am I! I'm not Stupid enough to think that things don't Change from time to time, but all the Information was repeated to me in the Last Month & some of the People Concerned should know, they are Currently Serving in The Household Division or Family Members. Any Body have any Idea?

Thanks very much for this, Mr B! You've got lots of very good content in spite of the conditions being far from ideal for filming (or for very much else). I'm glad you got a complete and close-up recording of the Band of the Coldstream Guards playing the brass band march "Punchinello" (starting at about 07:05 ). It was a great shame, although not unexpected, that the weather did its worst for the march back. However, most of it was still there - the only main thing that seemed to be missing was that the mounted Band of the Household Cavalry very understandably didn't play on the way back - so they didn't, for example, play "Cavalry Walk" which would have otherwise been at about 37:30 . I did watch the BBC coverage live, but it didn't start until about 10.30 so didn't really show the early parts of the bands and troops, etc, on their way towards Horse Guards Parade.

Well they do this 3 times in a short period of time so i guess it would have had to have rained at least once during that time. Sods law it would have to be during the main event tho. At least no heat stroke this year with soldiers and bandsmen fainting. Which is a good thing. Raining cats and dogs, with brollies to the fore. Good old british weather and the good old british stiff upper lip to carry on enjoying themselves regardless.
Brilliantly filmed. I was there & the weather conditions following the parade back to the Palace was atrocious, so the fact that you captured this wonderful event so well has to be highly commended!
some really amazing work done here. Many thanks. also so nice to see that the Gurkhas were included in festivities as they also deserve recognition for their dedication to Regent.
18:41 how on earth did you get that tracking shot - its amazing!!
Thank you MrB…fabulous filming. Everyone on parade, and the horses, gave their every effort to make it an outstanding parade. The King will be very happy and pleased I’m sure. And what a joy to see the Princess of Wales. I’m sure the King and the Princess of Wales would have been early to bed last night in their respective beds.
A great video.. horse guards was just drenched after that parade it took around 20 mins or so to get out! Excellent video otherwise Mr Baton!!
Steady swift marching in tight formations, -none of the goose-step favoured by some countries that can cause injury.😮
Why do they allow those dopey protesters so close to the parade. They also let them go directly in front of the of the palace! Ruins it for people around them. Put the in the back seats!
Thank you Mr B a good Trooping shame about the rain but the lads are used to that at least it saves there boots from the dust on Horse Guards.
She look good Catherine . Princess Ann look liked her Mom . Able watch trooping the colour on my andriod box BBC channel 506
I watched it Live on Sky, Good God Mr B, I hope you had a Sou'wester, Wellington Boots & a Hip Flask with You! You would've done well towing a Whaler to London & could've made a Fortune as a Ferryman. I hope your Shoulder stood up OK, take heart in the fact that when it fully heals you will more than probably have your own Personal Barometer to Warn you of the Presence of inclement Weather! I hope you enjoyed Yourself. I personally did not enjoy the Parade at all, with the possible exception of the 2 New Pieces of Music & the Story that goes with them. I have to Admit & Apologise to the Divisional Director of Music, Lieutenant Colonel S Halliday. In my Ignorance, I accused him of Laziness in Setting the Music for the Neutral Marches from the Standard Change of Guard March Lists, such as Arnhem, Machine Gun Guards etc. I can not Apologise strongly enough or Understand how I could be So Stupid. The March List for this Parade was set in Acknowledgement of The 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings & various other Events Linked to them. I am ashamed. Nothing for it but to look to The Garter Ceremony on Monday 17th June. I'm very pleased to note that HRH Brigitte, The Duchess of Gloucester, is to be a Royal Lady Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. She has been a Stalwart of Support for 50 years, along with her Husband, Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester, to the Crown since 1974 when Prince Richard assumed the Title. Congratulations Your Royal Highness, it's very well Deserved. Hope you had a Good journey home Mr B, terrible Weather to be driving in, but I daresay you're used to it, from what I remember from when I lived there, today's Weather is far more indicative of a British Summer than last Years Heat was.
don't be so ashamed. It took me a while to understand the connection, but obviously not knowledgeable about anything. The commentator on Sky gave good insights but even he was stuck with quite awful camera work. The Independent and others just seemed so obsessed with windows, Royal Banner, empty platform and the Queen's foot to show the actual parade.
@@ardeladimwit Hello ardel, I watched Sky for awhile, Their Commentator claimed to be an ex Scots Guard. Some of his Comments were interesting but a Number of them were so inaccurate I find it hard to believe he was involved in anyway with The Household Division. For example, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery don't have a Colour they Ride forward with at the head of their Procession, the Number 1 Gun Serves as their Regimental Colour. Also the Companies of Guardsmen don't Stand in the 'L' Configuration to recall how it Looked at the Battle of Waterloo! They Stand in the 'L' Shape because The British Standing Army, such as it was at the time of the Restoration of Charles ll to the Throne, when they were trained to Form " Hollow Squares", a Swiss Trick for Defending against Cavalry Attacks. The Square was formed by 2 'L' Shaped Formations of Infantrymen when an attack by Enemy Cavalry was Forming. On the Command "Form Squares" the Infantry would Form 2 'L' Shapes, ideally where possible the Long side of the L would be 50 men & the Short side would be 25 Men & there would be at least 3 ranks, preferably more. They would then join together in Squares of 50 men by 50 men & the 3 Ranks would be 1 on their Knees, 1 Standing & the last would be Standing behind & between the Standing Rank. They were set in a Chequer Board Pattern, so each Square was Covered by another Square behind & between, able to cover each other & Pour in devastating fire on the Cavalry Attackers. They were faced with Four Sides of Pikes, Muskets (when everyone had them) & in the Early days of the Hollow Squares, Battle Axes & even some Cross Bows. The Infantry targeted the Horses, disembowelling them if they tried jumping over & Cutting or Stabbing Forelegs if the Cavalry came within Range. In the Centre of the Squares, were Ammunition Boxes, Field Dressing Kits & the Wounded, all men not forming the Squares would be reloading the Muskets & attending to the Wounded. They were definitely used at The Battle of Waterloo, there are many accounts written by Officers on Both Sides of their Effectiveness, but that was towards the End of the Kind of Battlefields where they would be Needed. The Hollow Square Defence started in 1660 because Charles ll had seen them while in Exile in Flanders & bought the Concept back to England when he was restored to the Throne. Ironically, he also bought back a Regiment of Cavalry, made up of Cavaliers & the Sons of Noble Englishmen Loyal to the Crown & King. These were the Kings Body Guards while in Flanders & Charles ll called them his Life Guards. The Descendants of those First Mounted Men to Guard the King's Life, are on Parade in this Video. I find it incredible that any one who served in the Household Division, would not know the Story of the 'L' Shaped Companies, though to be fair, with all the Cuts & cost saving Measures, with now only 6 Companies of Guards as opposed to the much Greater Numbers of Guards who used to Form this Parade, it maybe hard to make the Connection to the Hollow Squares of years gone by.
@@vickyRoyalHistoryHi Vicky, this commentator is Major-General Alastair Bruce OBE VR DL. Governor of Edinburgh Castle. I did have to laugh when he started talking about the condensation on the C-17A Globemaster III's wings. He said something about look at the vapour on the.............wings?........? As if he was unsure! He did join the Scots Guards in 1979.
I don't know how to thank you enough for taking video of the trooping from the rehesrsals to the actual thing MrBaton! This year's trooping is very different because the guards that will be marching to horse guards is being accompanied by three bands instead of going one band at a time. Absolutely marvelous display!
Great event and parade.//😊
nice perspective and thanks
I admire your steady camera handling and high quality sound recording.
Le toutou ne doit rien comprendre. - Pourquoi il y a tant de gens qui m'accompagnent dans ma promenade ?
Bonjour, Bonjourto. The "Doggie" is Seamus & hr is the Regimental Mascot of The Irish Guards, the Regiment who Trooped their Colour on this Parade. He is the only Regimental Mascot in the Whole British Army who is allowed to Lead their Regiment on Parade. Other Mascots may March with their Regiments on occasion, but they must March at the Back of their Regiment. Seamus has been with the Irish Guards since he was a Puppy & has been Well trained & knows the Drill. He is well loved by the Irish Guardsmen & I think Spoilt now & then as well. He is more likely to think all those people accompanying him on his Walk are his Servants rather than to be wondering who they all are.
@@vickyRoyalHistory and I think that all regiments should be allowed to bring their mascots to trooping
@@vickyRoyalHistory Will he be reemplaced when too old?
@@GGibert Hello GG, Yes he will be. He is the 17th Irish Wolfhound to Serve as The Irish Guards Mascot since the Regiment was formed in 1900. They have all been Registered Pedigree Irish Wolfhounds & they have all carried the Name of an Old Irish King. This "Seamus" carries the name of "Turlough Mór" (Pronounced Tur-Lock-More). He was The King of Connaught in Ireland in the 12th Century. All the Mascots are known Affectionately as "Seamus" to the men of the Regiment. This "Seamus" joined the Irish Guards in 2020 when he was 6 months Old, so he'll be serving for awhile yet.
@@ardeladimwit Hi ardel, No only Seamus is allowed to lead his Regiment on Parade & he only ever Marches in the Trooping the Colour when it is the Irish Guards who are Trooping. You may see the Other Mascots at some Parades, but not at The Trooping the Colour. They all Marched behind their Regiments (Except Seamus, he marched in the Front) for The Platinum Jubilee Parade in 2022, but generally, they March in things like Freedom of the City or Local Parades, not these Big Parades.
We mark a milestone in history, Thank you to the 150-158 sons of ENGLAND who along the global battle line sacrificed theirs lives in duty, dedication, loyalty, and honor to have stood to defend and push forward the VICTORY from the night before in the west.
Roughly 26yrs ago this day and time.
Happy atmosphere!👋🇨🇦

Thank You for the time stamps.
Hi Delvin! If you don't know already, your intuition earlier this year was bang on about Gareth Chambers. In the BBC1 Birthday Parade broadcast, the commentator, Clare Balding, announced a couple of times that it was his final troop! If he was appointed to the senior post as you thought in July 2021, it would seem to have been only a three-year term, although he was a drum major in the division before that. A big loss for the Household Division, I would think, as his MVO would seem to confirm. By any measure, he's had a fantastic run: led the HHD bands in two troops in which his regiment formed the escort, and in birthday parades that marked the late Queen's platinum jubilee and the first for a King in 70 years, not to mention his big roles in the late Queen's funeral, the present King's coronation, and in sundry diplomatic, regimental, civic and in other national events. Incredible really. Also, according to Balding, it was the last troop for Lt. Col. James Shaw, the Garrison Sergeant Major's boss, so big changes appear to be in the wings for the HHD.
@@e.chambers2973 @e.chambers2973 Hello Chambers I hope you're keeping well! didn't hear it from Clare Balding, but a personal friend of mine did inform me! It was honestly, a bittersweet moment! He's been an excellent example of a Guards Division Senior Drum Major! I'll say this, he's definitely one of the most Iconic ones! Up there with Steven Ward. A bit sad my prediction became true this quick, now the question of who will take over?!? Is it someone we know? Or is it someone we've only seen once, or never seen? Whoever it may be has some pretty big shoes to fill, that's for certain! Some big changes in the horizon indeed!
Hello Delvin-Pedia! I was disappointed not to hear "Slattery's Mounted Fut" but Consoled myself with "Paddy McGinty's Goat". I didn't Notice if the Woodwinds were playing on the Return March, I couldn't hear them but that means nothing. A shame the Weather couldn't hold off just a little bit longer. Did you watch the Actual Parade Live as you usually do? I have to admit to Unholy Glee, Major Perseus blotted his Copy Book in the Colonial's Review because he wouldn't Settle in the New Position they had the Mounted Band in. So they bought Major Apollo in his stead & he was even Worse! People tend to treat Horses as Dumb Animals, but all the Trooping the Colour Veteran Horses, knew they weren't where they Normally would be, they take note of landmarks around them & mark the Spot they should be on. So if the Silly 2 legged Creatures move somewhere else, the Horses try to get back to where they know they should be & behave rather Badly if they can't. MOTH & I took bets on whether the Grey the Field Officer in Brigade Waiting was mounted on was going to Bolt with him as it did in the Colonel's Review. It was very Fidgety but he controlled it very well, Well done him! Hugz to you & Yours 🤗 Hope all are well.
@@vickyRoyalHistory Helloooo My Dear Vicky!!! Hope you're keeping well! Slattery's Mounted Fut was played rather quickly, they cut-off half way down the approach road. Specially after they marched off twice, they had to halt at the beginning of the approach road, from what I could tell the King's carriage wasn't ready to roll off. Plus the weather in typical British weather fashion came chucking it down! Good job spotting the difference in sound, the Woodwind section had their instruments under their arms or up their sleeves. So the Massed Bands were almost a Brass Band, if it weren't for the Saxophones and Bassoons. Difficult to hide those up a sleeve! Lol! Yes, I was awake at 4AM to watch it live. Did you hear about SDM Gareth? This was his last Parade as SDM. A bittersweet Troop! I don't blame the horses, it was quite the interesting troop. Lots of new things left, right, and centre! That was the Major General's Horse that bolted off in the Review! His hat also went flying! Good thing it was more calm this time around! The Chief Librarian sends many Huggz to you both! Happy to inform all of the Library is in tip top condition!
It was wonderful to see HRH Catherine The Princess of Wales and her lovely Royal Family…take care and take it easy now and rest…It was a wonderful Kings birthday parade….No one can put on a display like this only the British….God Save the King…🙏👑🇬🇧
Love to know who is funding the not my king and their flags
They're the usual bag of middle class dolly mixtures who rail against everything in their fashionable Left Wing Day Out playbook. Immature troublemakers, not much more.
They are Members of the Republican Movement. They never dared to behave like this when Queen Elizabeth ll was alive, the Public wouldn't have Stood for it. There has been Conjecture however since 2021 that when the Queen Died, the Monarchy would Die with her. It's been hotly Debated for Years, especially around the Commonwealth. I myself think that The late Queen was so well loved & respected, there was never anything going to Happen while she was alive. Charles however is a very different sort of Monarch, so the Republican Movement is pushing hard for Change. Those undecided yet, will watch what happens under Charles Reign & then make their Decision, until then The Monarchy is safe.
It doesnt really matter. We are a democracy and they are free to protest peacefully as much as they want. Shame they cannot do it by lobbying politically through the democratic process instead of trying to spoil others enjoyment of occasions like this. And its just going to alienate more people against their cause anyway. So why do it? Just shows the type of characters involved. Extreme political activists are always going to be the most active and vocal in our society. Fortunately for us they are always going to be a tiny minority within it too. The monarchy with all its pomp and circumstance will survive as long as it changes with the times. Which it has and will continue to do so if necessary. Too much ingrained into our history and culture now to just disappear completely, as well as it being one of our biggest tourist attractions and a useful exponent of soft power for the nation abroad.
The World is Celebrating this event. The birthday celebration of King Charles with his loved ones. The world is celebrating the appearance of the Princess of Wales. How beautiful it was to see her again standing next to her beautiful Prince. How Magical. How lovely, How Royal. We want the royals to be with us now and in the days to come. ❤🎉
✨️🏆🥇
Great band and bagpipes.//😊
"The World" isn't even aware this is happening for the Most Part. However, everyone will be very Pleased to see Princess Catherine out in Public with her Family & looking Well.
@@vickyRoyalHistorythere are 52 countries in the Commonwealth whose people take a keen interest in Trooping the Colour.
@@GMN360 Actually, there are 54, I live in a Commonwealth Realm. However, take the Population of China, Russia & The Middle East, I think you will find there are more People who don't take an Interest than there are that do. I wouldn't hesitate to add, that "The World" & even some Commonwealth Countries wouldn't be "Celebrating this Event". I could almost Guarantee that NZ, a Founding Nation in the Commonwealth aren't Celebrating Trooping the Colour. The Live Stream Started at 10pm on a Saturday Night, how many 18 -30 year Olds would you like to Guess are likely to be watching it? Most Elderly NZers would be heading to Bed right about the Time The Kings Carriage would be Pulling up at the Saluting Platform. Oh & add to that The Rugby Season has started, The T20 World Cup is on & There's a lot of Olympic Trials are underway, I would say Australia, Sri Lanka, India & Pakistan would have Large Portions of People that have Trooping the Colour as a low Priority on the list of must views on Cable TV or Sky.
Harry threw it all away for a conniving wife set out to destroy her and his family . Harry if you care. Look at what you chose instead of your roots, your real family , your country. It’s so sad.
Vous avez entièrement raison.
it was a beautiful trooping. forget about whats his name
Not really the Appropriate time for these Sentiments. This Parade is a Present to the Monarch on their Official Birthday, THAT is what people should be focussing on, not the Negatives involving his Offspring. Don't Spoil the Day or the Occasion!
actually Harry made his own bad decisions and acts like a spoiled brat and not really fit for public duty. zit to do with his wife, so quit trashing her.
Don't worry about Spares.
Looking forward to the next video! It was fun meeting you and sharing the experience. Thanks for the great tips! ~Greer & Leslie

My brother Robert scouse Williams had just left RGJ band and the regiment on that very day having just returned from Germany, he was on the train travelling home to Liverpool when this happened he travelled back to London on the same train , he never recovered from the shock and passed away 2014 😢 RIP TO ALL ❤
An excellent presentation shot from really interesting angles.
There is one thing that Puzzles me, The First Band to Arrive was The Band of The Grenadier Guards led by DM Stu Laing, which is Right & Proper as they are the Most Senior Foot Guards Regiment in the Household Division. The Second Band is The Band of the Coldstream Guards, led by ASDM Scott Fitzgerald, fair enough, they're obviously Following the Order of Seniority. However, why is The Grenadier Guards Corps of Drums Marching with The Band of the Coldstream Guards? It has been Pointed out to me quite Forcibly by Multiple People in the Last Month, that Corps of Drums & Pipes & Drums of The Household Division, always March behind their own Regiment's Band. I know that's not Strictly True, but am disinclined to enter into Argument with People who should know far better than I. So why aren't the Grenadier Guards Corps of Drums Marching behind the Band of the Grenadier Guards? Furthermore, the Most Commonly seen Corps of Drums are those of The Welsh Guards & they aren't on Parade! There is also the Point that I was told that last Year's Parade did not have Pipes & Drums because The Trooping Regiment, The Welsh Guards did not have Pipes & Drums, so there were No Pipes & Drums. They did have a Corps of Drums, so all Regiments with a Corps of Drums had them on Parade. I was further told that the Only 2 Regiments without a Corps of Drums, The Scots Guards & The Irish Guards, had Pipes & Drums, if either Regiment was Trooping their Colour, there would only be Pipes & Drums, because they don't have Corps of Drums, no Corps of Drums would be Paraded. Confused? Well so am I! I'm not Stupid enough to think that things don't Change from time to time, but all the Information was repeated to me in the Last Month & some of the People Concerned should know, they are Currently Serving in The Household Division or Family Members. Any Body have any Idea?
Great view, thank you 😊
Thank you so much for posting this. I live in the USA & love parades. Watched the Coronation Practices in the dark. It is so refreshing to see non- commercialized parades. It's a wonderful celebration. God Save The King!
OC at 1:13 looks a little all over the place
