My son is an officer in the Ghurka Rifles. We are an East London working class family but my boy had the wit to get through Sandhurst and the judgement to join the Ghurkas. His mother and I swell with pride when we watch him march with the brave, wonderful Ghurkas. X
From the slopes of the Himalayas to the courtyard of Buckingham Palace. Man that is some journey! Well done guys your families must be bursting with pride.
I find it ironic that my pride in my Country is only renewed by seeing these brave warriors from thousands of miles away serving their adopted country.
Kes Mangkuk I didn’t underestimate the amount of commonwealth citizens who serve, or want to serve, in the UK forces. These people make me proud of my country as well. If they were the subject of this film my comment would probably be about them instead.
Kes Mangkuk There are many people from the Commonwealth who I would prefer to see in the UK, as opposed to certain elements of our indigenous population. Unfortunately we can’t swap them.
I served 17 yrs in the British Army as a Military Policeman, was hopeless at drill but I have enjoyed watching the Gurkhas drill...a master class...all respect.
Yea I've never been able to grasp it but I'm still serving and on my 3rd year so I've got plenty of time but we don't have to do much marching in Iraq then again 😂
My Dad was a para and later SF. A load of his mates were Gurkha. I was only little at the time but I loved it when they came round our house for dinner. Really funny and kind guys
As far as I am concerned and I'm pretty sure I speak for most of the British public. The Gurkhas are as much a part of the British Coldstream Guards are. Total respect.
I live in Nuneaton Warwickshire we've got gurkha signals at our local barracks and we've had nepalese shops and restaurants pop up and people are complaining because they think Muslims are taking over 🙄.
I totally agree Rich, And after my Dad fought with them and he told me a lot about them, I remember he told me how brave they where and he said once you made a friend of them they would jump off a roof for you, he said, Myself and all my brothers and sisters can count in their language as that is how my Dad counted our pocket money to us lol, counting in their language now is instinctive to me, I even own a Kukri and use it in the Kitchen lol.
Not sure what you mean. The Gurkhas are not part of the Coldstream Guards but the Gurkhas served with the British Army in World Ara One and in World War Two and maybe in Korean War too. Many Gurkha soldiers remained in Britain after World War 2 so there may be grandchildren of those men who are in the Gurha Regiment now. Joanna Lumley worked hard to get the Gurkhas their military pensions which they hadn't received until she fought with the government recently to get them. I that's correct. The Gurkhas are very brave and loyal.
From a brother in arms from across the pond I salute the U.K. and these Gurkha's. Extremely disciplined and amazing soldiers! Seeing this made me proud of the fact they are on our side! I would not want to be at the business end of their weapons! All I can say is wow! These guys are good!
Benny H. Thank you for your comments they are great soldiers and we are proud to have them in the British army my dad served in India in ww2 and all ways told me they were as hard as nails
I'm British. I would also like to offer my love and admiration to these young men for their incredible service and commitment. I could not do what each of these dudes have done to have even got here. My highest respect and admiration to all of them.
Hi Bernd, see my comment to your fellow countryman poster "Joe Kurtz" above yours. They have "many strings to their bow", or in their case should it be, "edges to their Kukri"?
Greeting from the colonies(USA) This ceremony took place 07-12-19 which happens to be my birthday. According to the intro. Proud to know of these Brave Warriors their history, and service to your country . At home or abroad, respect. To your enemies, be very afraid, you will never hear your fate, till they are greeted by Satan for their Sins. God Bless the Queen👑 🇬🇧 God Bless the Ghurka's⚔🇳🇵 Khaatar Humnu Bhanda Marnu Ramro.! God Speed- stay healthy in this pandemic.
In a very non-PC way, I thought this might bring a smile to your face, www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2049987/Gurkha-beheaded-Taliban-soldier-Afghanistan-battle-cleared-return-duty.html These are the same British Gurkhas in relax mode, ruclips.net/video/vcdSRKgulEo/видео.html ...and...in more contemplative mood, ruclips.net/video/whgTm7_MgJs/видео.html ....and dancing in the US at 3:50 mins, ruclips.net/video/87QAjcJvXsw/видео.html I find it most comforting and reassuring that the UK's enemies are having their heads removed by such culturally musically talented and spiritually enriched individuals?
Outstanding soldiers, yes please come and fight for Britain, even die in battle, but don`t ask to live here as a citizen, its not allowed! Thank god that rule was changed, it only took 200 years! ..... Shame on Britain, the Gurkha soldiers are incredible, loyal and brave.
LOYALTY i don't think so, It's all about the salary man, 8x higher than their country. it's a legal way of being missionary. "BRAVE", kill or be killed.
They are loyal and yes the pay is higher than they'd achieve in their own country but a lot of these lads have decades of tradition with the British Army, that is after they kicked the '...t' out of us --- the only way to stop it was to recruit them and they've been with us ever since and a great bunch of guys to work with. Remember they have to have some basic English when going through the assessment procedures as well as being super-fit.
@@nandewatashi2949 you measure everything by dollars and cents? surely their lives are worth more than your 8x higher salary, i hope you're an army man serving your nation
I would rather have these guys living here in the UK than most of what we have here nowadays. True Loyal and Brave to the country that has adopted them. And long may they have that special relationship between our two countries.
Brilliant and so good to see the Gurkha Army taking its turn to Guard our Queen. Really enjoyed watching the quality of the Gurkha Soldiers so neat and well trained, 10 out of 10. Brilliant. Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK 🏴
As some one of Scottish decent, but born an American, when I hear the bagpipes makes me shiver with pride. As for the Gurkha's I have nothing but the utmost respect for them. I too am a knife guy, and as I sit typing this, I have a Khukuri hanging on my belt. It is a great knife, which I bought from Khukuri House Thamel, in Kathmandu Nepal. And I am proud to wear it. I have many knives and a few swords, but the Khukuri, my Scottish Dirk, and my Bowie knife are my favorites. Be strong and stay safe.
My uncle was with the Australian 7th Division in the islands in WW2. he said that an Aussie on guard at night would feel a hand on his rising star badge, then a pat and a statement, good one you Aussie. The Japanese in the jungle received an entirely different Gurkha greeting.
Oh wow, that has got to scare you the first couple of times it happens! Imagine being on guard duty on high alert and it's completely still and silent and out of nowhere a hand is touching you. Knowing they could have killed you and you wouldn't have even known it was coming. That sent chills down my spine. Those are true warriors.
Thank goodness for Joanna Lumley. The Gurkhas have been part of the British Army for many years and it is a disgrace the way they have been treated. If they want to live in the UK - why not?
smacwhinnie Say that to the British colonists who built and bequeathed you that murder factory you now call greatest country on the planet...you know stupidville...Trump land ,of impeachment ...and l thought Texas was a "STATE " till l saw you imbecilic bastards at work
Anne McDonnell 1. The Gurhkas regimental home was Honk Kong, then when Britain handed it back to China they had to come to the UK. Anyone legitimately in the UK for five years can stay, I don't really mean UK as it was an EU rule so there was no way they could send those who had served five years in the UK home because all it would have taken is a short trip to the ECJ and Britain would have been told the rules. Being allowed to remain also means that under the HRA family reunification is permitted so their families can come and join them once free from the army, should they choose. 2. They initially got paid less because to pay them the same as a poorly paid British army soldier would have made their families back home very wealthy and could have caused dissent, and anyway the pay was what they agreed to, so there could be no complaint. This in turn meant their pensions were lower meaning that when they retired and if they wanted to stay they were put in dire straights financially, if they returned home they were considered wealthy on their Gurkha pensions, but this has all been ironed out and they are on a par with the rest of the armed forces. The Government couldn't have done what Lumley said they wanted as it's in the EU rules, but what they considered doing was disbanding them altogether, so she really won nothing and put them under threat, luckily recruitment for the armed forces was then and still is low and they will be kept for as long as they're needed. There is more to this than what the MSM wanted you to think, but hey, it kept an aging actress in the limelight for a week or two. 3. I know you don't want to know but I'll tell you what I'd do. The Gurkhas recruit from between the age of 17 years and six months up to twenty, and sign on for 24 years. I'd recruit more of them and reduce their term to twenty years so they can go home if they wish and use their pensions and any expertise they learned in the army to help build businesses in Nepal as still relatively young men and help their country so that other young men from Nepal don't feel they have to join the British or Indian army Gurkha regiments of the Singapore or Hong Kong police just to make a living, and if they do join up it's because they want to serve with us. I've watched a passing out parade of Nepalese army Gurkhas and to be honest it wasn't great so Nepal is left with those whom failed to get a spot abroad, I would agree with the Communists (stop to spit) that the best should be allowed to stay and serve their own country and this can only be encouraged by doing better for Nepal in general and not having their best leave.
The Gurkhas are the best soldiers the world can offer. Highly skilled, fierce warriors and most loyal and polite people you will ever meet. I love the Gurkhas, I'm honoured to have them serve as part of our army. 🇬🇧♥️🇳🇵
This is the first time I’ve seen the Gurkhas in ceremonial mode and they are fantastic, so precise, not a step out of place. So glad they are on our side and take everything as a very big honour to be a Gurkha working with the British Army.
A fitting video and Royal duty fir the loyal fighting men of Nepal as a veteran myself I loved working with the Gurkha regiments. Kaphar hunnu bhanda marnu ramro
I served ten years in the royal green jackets I am so proud to be a rifleman alongside my brother gurkha rifleman I am still in touch with a gurkha rifleman who runs a restaurant near me what a fantastic nation of warriors these people are cet et audaux
I am Proud & Privileged to have served with some of these guys and I have to say, although they are some of the most Fearsome soldiers in the British Army, they are also some of the most Courteous People I have ever met. May their service in the British Army continue, long after I have "Shuffled off this Mortal Coil". May God Bless them and Keep them Safe.
Never let one Gurkha think that the British people do not appreciate what you lads do for us. We admire you greatly and thank god you are on our side !!
As a forces brat when dad was ousted to Hong Kong for six years Gurkha kids were taught at the same school as us. Some became military when older but many became professionals with the advantage of good education. Happy times.
As an Australian with family members who have served in the Armed forces without doubt the Gurkhas are by far the most impressive recruits that I have seen in the Commonwealth forces.
Exercised with these guys many years ago in Otterburn in the winter. Recovered a bogged down 4 tonner for them while I was commanding a Samaritan got a Belta bottle of Whiskey
My late Father was a Royal Engineer he built a road from Dharan to Jogbani in 1971, 1972. I have a Kukri given to him by the Gorkas as they are called when he left to retrieve to England after building the road.
Absolutely faultless. Put the guards to shame!! We have by no doubt the best armed forces in the world bar none! So proud. Well done lads and lasses. Couldn't pick any fault in that whatsoever...
24:03 voice in the background in the crowd of the authoritative female cop doing a great job of controlling onlookers / sightseers and informing them of how to keep safe from pickpocketers and how to prevent fainting by drinking water. That’s good control from that Police officer. Most probably one of the armed officers at Buckingham Palace
@@maverick4220 She was trying to stop tourists standing in the way of the gate and getting trampled by the guards. If tourists can't stick to the rules, it's kinda necessary that it's made sure they do.
What more does it take to prove loyalty? These particular men were entrusted with guarding the Queen FFS! Not to mention, I would argue, some of the most impressive combat history of any unit in the world....in the name of ENGLAND. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?! I wish we (the United States...and I am a 20+ year veteran) had the foresight to begin a program like this.
The Ghurka Regiment is made up a bunch of tenacious, brave, honourable, dependable and FAITHFUL troops. The British Army is so lucky to have them fighting for us now and for many years. Long may we have them with us.
Zero problems. Not even the worst person would have issue with them moving here. They manage to respect British culture and keep their own also. They are very respected. I'd say build a whole neighbourhood just for them
They have to jump through many hurdles to win the right to come here. Unlike the crew that cross the channel in an inflatable, then get put up in a fancy hotel and are not expected to fight for anything more than all the benefits..
@@brianperry Agree. And they look like happy people too. Being poor in their country, they probably feel fortunate to have a job in England. I have always admired Gurkhas. Great Britain is lucky to have them.
How did any person in power in this country dare to let these incredible devoted soldiers ever think to be let go?? Shows just how much they are out of touch with the reality of the feelings of the real people in the country. Disgraceful.
Absolute first rate soldiers, Argentines surrendered at the very thought they might be coming and the taliban feared their involvement in afghanistan. Fearless and crack shots, thank you.
Come over here, join our army, defend our nation, continue a proud tradition and expect to live here? Of course, it is shameful they should even have to ask.
I once read a funny about the difference between who was more frightening: A large man with a knife, or a small smiling man with a large knife. I then think of a John Ringo novel, and Shewolf.
Happy to see other units of the UK armed forces participating as Queens Guard. After all , along with GOD, it is their duty and obligation to SAVE her, if it ever becomes necessary to do so.
My son is an officer in the Ghurka Rifles. We are an East London working class family but my boy had the wit to get through Sandhurst and the judgement to join the Ghurkas. His mother and I swell with pride when we watch him march with the brave, wonderful Ghurkas. X

Outstanding. Arguably the world's finest light infantry soldiers. I'm deeply impressed. They make a good film too!
Geoffrey Anthony ruclips.net/video/dQWDfDloSyo/видео.html
I would also like to add that I LOVE the unique and distinguishing drill that these regiments have created. They look super smooth!
The dedication, pride, and execution of their drill are awesome! OOH RAH!! Nuff said!!
Had the pleasure of being attached to them in Hong Kong for a few months 1963. Not all infantry these guys were Gurkha Engineers. Best guys ever.
Beautifully done! Not one man out of step. Pride shines through. Be safe out there. Love to all
One of the best, if not the best regiment in the British Army. Brilliant.

What can I say? Absolutely fantastic, such pride in the Gurkhas. Thank you so much for your service...
The British Army and Indian Army are proud to have these troops in its service.
Lexy Mayo Singapore also has a gurkha contingent
The Gurkhas are the best soldiers the world can offer. Highly skilled, fierce warriors and most loyal and polite people you will ever meet. I love the Gurkhas, I'm honoured to have them serve as part of our army. 🇬🇧♥️🇳🇵

A fitting video and Royal duty fir the loyal fighting men of Nepal as a veteran myself I loved working with the Gurkha regiments. Kaphar hunnu bhanda marnu ramro
The Gurkha drill is unique, but I see that they switch into standard British army drill when they are parading with other regiments. Very talented!
The Rilfes;' drill as the Gurkhas practise is not unique to them but is the standard drill for all Rifle Regiments in the British Army.
@@yahyahussein425 Their marching pace is faster than the standard british Army quick march, I think that this is what was asked.
@@colinp2238 Yes, to my knowledge British Rifles also have their own marching pace, a faster one.
Standard light infantry drill and marching pace
@@graham2014 it certainly is a 140 paces a minute! Drill is supposed to be less sophisticated so they can react quicker. Very smart I think.

As an Australian with family members who have served in the Armed forces without doubt the Gurkhas are by far the most impressive recruits that I have seen in the Commonwealth forces.
That was a great video - proud men all. Honor to our soldiers
Brilliant, Proud of them all.
So proud of these guys, and grateful.
Awesome and impressive!
Flawless and punctual!
They deserve loads of respect.
They would make the Spartans proud.
Respect.
Liked watching this I did this in 2017 with the Mercian regiment
Absolutely brilliant, both content and videography.
Exercised with these guys many years ago in Otterburn in the winter. Recovered a bogged down 4 tonner for them while I was commanding a Samaritan got a Belta bottle of Whiskey
Happy to have them as friends rather than Enemies, respect to them All
The smartest most disciplined courageous soldiers on the planet.
Absolutely remarkable drill - quite outstanding!
A great honor and acknowledgment, a reward to professionalism and loyal service
What key on my keyboard do I press the mute the background chatter??
nothing but respect for these men glad they fight with us
My late Father was a Royal Engineer he built a road from Dharan to Jogbani in 1971, 1972. I have a Kukri given to him by the Gorkas as they are called when he left to retrieve to England after building the road.
At 25:44 in the video what music was the guards playing
Absolutely faultless. Put the guards to shame!! We have by no doubt the best armed forces in the world bar none! So proud. Well done lads and lasses. Couldn't pick any fault in that whatsoever...
24:03 voice in the background in the crowd of the authoritative female cop doing a great job of controlling onlookers / sightseers and informing them of how to keep safe from pickpocketers and how to prevent fainting by drinking water. That’s good control from that Police officer. Most probably one of the armed officers at Buckingham Palace
Who's the noisy cow in the background?
Police women on mounted horse, She was fucking annoying as fuck.
@@maverick4220
She was trying to stop tourists standing in the way of the gate and getting trampled by the guards. If tourists can't stick to the rules, it's kinda necessary that it's made sure they do.
@@idot3331 Obviously but she was annoying as fuck.
@@idot3331 ...I quite agree, some tourists at events like this are a total pain and disrespectful. Just give the officer a taser, job done !
@@amc3 then you have tourists still in the way but now just in pain on the floor
Citizenship for them and their families is the least we can give them. I am ashamed of my country that this is not automatic.
Especially when you consider some of the woefully unsuitable and ungrateful immigrants we do house.
What more does it take to prove loyalty? These particular men were entrusted with guarding the Queen FFS! Not to mention, I would argue, some of the most impressive combat history of any unit in the world....in the name of ENGLAND. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?! I wish we (the United States...and I am a 20+ year veteran) had the foresight to begin a program like this.
@SamWeller I think the question here is why is their quest for citizenship ever questioned or delayed?
The Gurkhas would grace every army in the world. Thank God they grace the British Army. We are so fortunate to have these superb warriors.
The Ghurka Regiment is made up a bunch of tenacious, brave, honourable, dependable and FAITHFUL troops. The British Army is so lucky to have them fighting for us now and for many years. Long may we have them with us.
Does anyone know if they have live rounds? I know it may not be in the gun but will there be any in the pocket or belt just in case something happens?
Never heard of the British having problems with Gurkhas. They would make the ideal immigrant.
Zero problems. Not even the worst person would have issue with them moving here. They manage to respect British culture and keep their own also. They are very respected. I'd say build a whole neighbourhood just for them
@@tesstickle7267 Please make it within a native environment, their sense of duty and patriotism might run off onto the indigenous population.
Thay are very very honest and trustworthy takes responsibility very very serious...
They have to jump through many hurdles to win the right to come here. Unlike the crew that cross the channel in an inflatable, then get put up in a fancy hotel and are not expected to fight for anything more than all the benefits..
@@brianperry Agree. And they look like happy people too. Being poor in their country, they probably feel fortunate to have a job in England. I have always admired Gurkhas. Great Britain is lucky to have them.
How did any person in power in this country dare to let these incredible devoted soldiers ever think to be let go?? Shows just how much they are out of touch with the reality of the feelings of the real people in the country. Disgraceful.
Awesome soldiers, would like to see bigger numbers.
Love the uniforms, marching and history of the British Army.
Absolute first rate soldiers, Argentines surrendered at the very thought they might be coming and the taliban feared their involvement in afghanistan. Fearless and crack shots, thank you.
Outstanding!
One of the proudest regiments in the army.....you would not want to tangle with them.....
Very 'jilty'. There's much to admire here. Am very glad, that 'Johnny Gurkha' is on our side.
Extremely sharp! Awesome work.
Come over here, join our army, defend our nation, continue a proud tradition and expect to live here? Of course, it is shameful they should even have to ask.
I once read a funny about the difference between who was more frightening: A large man with a knife, or a small smiling man with a large knife. I then think of a John Ringo novel, and Shewolf.
If a man state he is not afraid of death, he's either two things....A liar or a Gurkha......
@@alanhutchins5221 That's brilliant. And true !
@@JB-pp4nj Quote attributed to Field Marshall Manekshaw...
Light Infantry at its finest!
I see they march at light infantry pace, 140 paces a minute.
Amazing . Some things we do get right .
I do love these guys...
Happy to see other units of the UK armed forces participating as Queens Guard. After all , along with GOD, it is their duty and obligation to SAVE her, if it ever becomes necessary to do so.
Love the British tradition. There is no other.
Whoever gave the Gurkhas bagpipes has a lot to answer for...
It's a natursl match 😂
Who is making that infernal racket at 24:10? Do you not have Tasers in the UK?
