The "stretcher-bearer and medics" quote is well out-of-date...try support troops...yes that does sometimes include stretcher-bearers, but loads of other stuff too!
6:25 and the armed police officer stands to attention and salutes the Regimental Colour; that’s a 1st-Class copper; probably ex-services, but if not, he shows colleagues how it’s done:)
Actually, in other videos, I also saw that the police salutes to the flag. Probably because of the fact that the police is also a crown servant, so he is also bound to salute to the flag
He carries the cover for the Colour. It is carried by a Drummer as the Band was originally merely attached to the Regiment and not part of the Regiment itself.
He is the Duty Drummer and is drawn from the Corps of Drums of the Regiment that finds the Guard on that day. On this day it is 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. He carries the Colour Case which is deployed to protect the Colour (flag) should inclement weather develop. He is also responsible for preparing the Ensign to carry the Colour and protecting it during the Changing of The Queen's Guard ceremony. Traditionally, Drummers gave signals in battle direct from command posts where the Colour also flew. In all armies, capture of the Regimental, Battalion or Company Colour was considered a disgrace and so Drummers were also required to protect them. That role is still symbolised by the Duty Drummer today.
Why are the Yeomen of the Queens Body Guard preparing in London- St James's Palace for the Garter Service in Windsor. Or is the film taken in Windsor somewhere?
The Yeomen of the Queen's Body Guard come from all over the UK (CORRECTION: England, see comment below) and assemble at their Headquarters at St James's Palace when called upon to provide the Monarch's Body Guard at ceremonial events. Between departure of the Old Guard and arrival of the New Guard at St James's Palace, the Yeomen are boarding a bus for transportation to Windsor for the Order of the Garter Service later that day.
The British Military have two types of hand Salutes both of which obviously show respect. The type used by the army - an openhanded salute that has many meanings - one of which, by exposing your hand, shows "I'm not carrying a weapon". The other type of salute - prominently used by the US Armed Forces - is the Naval Salute. The open hand is not exposed and thus will not reveal any dirt, grim, etc... that the sailor main have accumulated in the performance of his duties. Example: Handling dirty and or oily ropes on board a vessel. I can only assume that the London Police use the Naval Salute or the Police officer was in the Royal Navy. I'm not sure what type of Salute the Royal Marines or the Royal Air Force use.
joshua Barry Not from the Army Air Corps, which was formed in the late 1950s by combining the Glider Pilots' Regiment and Army Co-operation Command of the RAF. The RAF was formed in 1918 by combining the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service.
David Jones The official reason for the closed hand salute, as I was taught by a Naval Gunnery Instructor in 1959, is that the Navy, as Senior Service, can be trusted not to be carrying concealed weapons. The hand should be concave to simulate a wave. (Sea that is.) The Marines use the open hand salute. The Police rarely if ever salute these days.
No, the police use a different salute because they used to wear cloaks and so could not salute properly. So they salute with their arm much closer to the body
I am overwhelmed by the performance of the guards,thank God I am from the British Colony
A salute to all British military bands. You are the best. Regards from Bob in Canada.
Great soldiers,great country,old friends.

What is the job of the soldier who walks behind the band? I mean the one in the uniform of the Corps of drums. I could never find a clue what it is.

RAF use the Army's salute since it was formed from the Army Air Corps during WW1 :)

Michael Cousins O'Neill Ah that's who I meant. Got confused with Army Air Corps and Royal Flying Corps. I knew it was linked to the Army though
