I am from Uruguay, 84. The British Grenadiers Quick March has always fascinated me, and I do remember it was played on the QE2 coronation in 1953 and other ceremonies. Its short but quick pace is invigorating and reassuring.
Greetings from your old foe here in France. Always loved this tune. Proud moment and bold moment for these soldiers that are not just good at parades but real fighters deployed on wars theaters.
@@say-cred Well, their countries did ally from time to time before the 20th century but even so, more or less 900 years of pretty consistent enmity or at least defensive wariness prior to the entente of 1904. Plenty of people in both countries actually listened in history class, and there is equally plenty of good [and less commonly ill] humour to be had it it. Brits and Germans can manage it too, though at war more recently albeit for a shorter period. Or did you just object to the word "foe" as opposed to enemy, because too old fashioned?
Moi, je suis francais.... France is not an old foe...... we have stood together in countless wars, and there is a strong bond of affection between Britain and France....
Just for those who misinterpreted the description, the Music March to start the Trooping is the British Grenadiers Quick March. It was actually the Welsh Guards turn to Troop their colours.
As a former serving officer in the Scots Guards, I consider the entire 2023 Trooping the Colour ceremony one of the best I`d seen in my quarter-century of service. Well done, Grenadiers!
I’m American, my state of Maine (was part of Massachusetts at the time) most likely heard this song all the time on the fife and drums but I still love it.
These manouvres carried out to the letter were a vital factor in the battles like Waterloo, and in the Peninsula, where the troops responded instantly to these words of command under fire and in battle, and formed squares or columns etc, according to the attack coming from the enemy. The discipline was what won battles, as demonstrated in the final stages of the battle of Waterloo, when the Guards were momentarily mislead by a command from elsewhere but immediately responded and reformed and were part of the last victorious charge that won the day against the French Old Guard..
@@Princeton5 It’s because he said “love to the British empire from Poland” so I just said the opposite instead. There isn’t much left of the British empire nowadays tbh.
Britian has the most talented and epic marches long live the empire if only they did the 1700 hundreds fifee and drum british grenaiders, but this is still badass
Even on parade, the Duke of Marlborough had his teachings applied: two lines are enough, if you teach how to shoot. England always mastered on it, with the only exception of when they encountered the Boers...
My late father was a Grenadier and so naturally he thought there were no other guards to compete! He was on Trooping the Colour and told me all about the preparation, the marches etc. Wonderful, so many memories.

King George II celebrated his birthday much later, but due to unsuitable weather conditions, since 1748 the trooping the colour has always taken place in June, despite the fact that the monarch celebrates his birthday in a different month.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s brain scorcher's having a lot of fun here trying to puppeteer all these soul-jars in synchrony. The C-Consciousness still needs some debugging to make it look flawless. Maybe it's just from the perspective of this observer that it looks slightly sloppily executed.
Compare this to some of the videos of Chinese or North Korean "troops" marching on parade. If the Brits come off looking somewhat slightly less impressive by comparison just remember that this is a fighting regiment and they don't march like robots because they train to fight wars. Marching is just a side job.
It would seem that dressing the lines is not a priority in the training of His Majesty's army. I've seen U.S. Navy sailors stand in straighter lines, and those guys hate marching and doing anything else in formation.

Thanks for the upload; the official version was ruined by a presenter talking over it.
My pleasure!
They just don't get it, at Crass Central..
Isn’t there a no commentary version on the BBC
amen to that, the anti bbc loves to wipe over it with chatter about horses

Canada here- I do love British parades but I try to catch some of the Bastille Day one every year. Always very well put together.

They have white plumes, I'd assume they'd be grenadiers no?

It’s the Welsh Guards’ Colour being trooped.

To think the ground once trembled to the sounds of those boots and drums.
No country can perform these displays like the British well done Impress
Посмотрите русские парады
Смешно, если вы это называете парадом, просто торжественное прохождение
Ahhemm German konnigratzer march
@@АннаМаркова-з2з You march in straight lines..well you used to march when you had soldiers,,most of them have gone now
Amazing,Great Britain is one of the most Powerful Nation,
Historic anyway
Grenadier Guards best in the world. Nobody marches like the grenadiers.

This year was the Welsh Guards, not the Grenadiers…so your comment isn’t really relevant.
@@TheAnagnostis I was merely making a humorous observation. I know perfectly well it was the Welsh guards this year.

Best video of the band's "Pinwheel" that I have ever seen.
Proper parade proper discipline
amazing
The amazing part of this is the spin wheel by the bsnd
The music of conquest
Респект!!! Ожившая гравюра...😊❤
Gloria Britannia! May the Empire reclaim it's spot under the sun and rule the waves once more!
Does anyone have the full video with narrations?
This is the extent to which militaries should ideally exist anywhere in the world: to give us marching displays and historical re-enactments.
One of the most mightiest army in the world
Now reclaim London
They are in London already

🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
That was amazing and well done
I'm ENGLISH but can someone explain to me what this is all about as well over the top pomp & pageantry ??
It is a ceremony that is performed every year in honor of the king's birthday.
King George II celebrated his birthday much later, but due to unsuitable weather conditions, since 1748 the trooping the colour has always taken place in June, despite the fact that the monarch celebrates his birthday in a different month.
oh my! its the redcoat soldiers!
My ancestors fought these guys. I shouldn't tear up, and yet...
When you look at trooping the colour from the 1940s and 50s they always seem to have a lot more troopers in them
Yeah but I think people had to join the army back then so makes sense there were more soldiers/guards
Probably because in 1940 Britain was at war the size of Britain's forces as a whole was a lot bigger now you have large-scale peacetime cut backs.
pity they have to parade with such a diminutive weapon. an SLR or even better an SMLE with a 17 in bayonet. size does matter on parade.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s brain scorcher's having a lot of fun here trying to puppeteer all these soul-jars in synchrony.
The C-Consciousness still needs some debugging to make it look flawless.

Great Britain was great, down to an isle
Nevertheless we loved an european king charles

Where's the king?
He just popped off to mcdonalds right quick
Mainly welshguards.

Mejor es el de flautines.

*Color not colour
Colour is the traditional spelling
It's colour, in British English.
In military flag terms it's Colour
