The two young violinists at 1.05.40 playing the solo for Hector the Hero are superb. Tracey Simmons, Scots Guards and Eva Rose, Royal Marines are a credit to their units…
For a wee while i was the next door neighbour to Brians Grandad. We got on great together. My partner commented "you two are like termites from a previous life", due to our mutual wood addiction 😂.On his desk was a picture of him as a young man. Facially he and Brian both looked identical. I had the pleasure of meeting Brian at his granddads memorial service. I was so impressed on how fit Brian was and could visualise how others follow him. Such an ambassador for Scotland and the Black Watch.
Just come up on this absolutely first class best tattoo I've seen been of Scottish decent I love everything about Scotland especially the pipe band there's nothing can beat them
Thank you for sharing this special night. My late partner and I were there to witness the surprise arrival of HM The Qeens. It brought back such happy memories 1:24:19
I searched this year in particular cuz I was studying abroad (Baylor in Great Britain 2002) and It was my first time in Europe however this event occurred near the end of my time. I distinctly remember how wet, cold, and misty/rainy it was that weekend although this took place in early August. Being from a much warmer climate, Houston, TX, and never really traveling north..I was more of a 'beach ppl' than 'ski ppl' ... I had to run into a jacket shop earlier in the day to buy something to keep warm. The queen arrival was such a treat and my overall experience was like a 'walk through history'. I've been privileged to return to europe many times since then, in all seasons with my wife and family but that first one takes the cake, as if it happened yesterday and I can detail it out day by day. Perhaps it's b/c that program, Baylor in Great Britain, was one of the more popular study abroad programs at Baylor however, after the events of 9/11/2001, the usually group of 200+ students of years prior (I had friends who went and recommended the program) was just 75 in the summer of 2002. Aprox 55 girls to 20 guys...I was one of the guys ;-)...and met my future wife on that trip....at least that's what she says ;-)!
Im sure we all miss Tom Fleming!!! What this man didn't know wasn't worth knowing , he certainly researched his stuff and was popular at many state occasions ranging, from The Queen Mothers funeral,Princess Dianas funeral. to the Cenotaph in whitehall
Although the quality is not up to modern video standards, I do like the performance better. Modern Edinburgh Tattoos seem to feature more pop music and less martial pomp and ceremony. This seems to be increasing as the years go by...
Richard Crowe I agree, 1998 to 2007 was there prime but now hopefully with a new director of music it should be better and the 2017 tattoo was pretty good.
Agree - I think it is important to keep Edinburgh tattoo a ceremony for Scottish martial pomp and ceremony. That's what everyone comes to see and impresses the tourists. Maybe they worry about not being accused of not being inclusive enough to the LGBT and ethnicities? People can see the pop stuff in any city so we should stick to what we do best.
How much the dignity and gravitas of these original Edinburgh Tattoo days are missed by the standard of today. (Don’t even know if the military are involved in the programming any more.)
Absolutely Amazing Tattoo. This one is one of my favorites so far that I've watched on RUclips. thank you for posting. Can anyone tell me the slow air that is played at 7:50 min mark please? thank you in advance.
This seems to be a pretty good Tattoo. In recent years it seems to have become a BBC inspired multi-culture kitsch fest at the expense of why people watch the Tattoo (for awesome drill and great military music)
I was thoroughly enjoying this until I head "Auld Lang Syne" - It's a great pity that they didn't stick to the original poem as written by the Bard, Rabbie Burns. It's quite loathsome to hear "for the sake of Auld Lang Syne". Put into English, that means "For the sake of for the sake of old times". Sad. 😞

God we look so young now 20 years on! A proper Tattoo, horses, re-enactments, bands. One of the best Tattoos
Concordo pienamente con te
Nothing like a glass of whiskey as we listen to the pipes
@@marshallburns8762 Oh yes.

@@benardus50 you should be so proud of yourselves.we are our queen loves Scotland more than London.who can blame her.
Excellent tattoo I loved all the bands and their music. This is the first time I've seen a tattoo amazing.
What a fine show our US Marines from Albany, GA put on!!! What a magnificent program given us by all of these military musicians.
They honor their corps, Not a Marine but still: SEMPER FI!
I was there in 2002 for one exhibition. It was the high point of my trip. I teared up when the USM band came out!
It was raining during the performance I attended making the bicyclist evenmore impressive.
I just love this! Tradition coming together in Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing, Ben!

This is wonderful, magic, I get so emotional !!
From a time when it was OK to love your country - and to be proud; how things have changed!

I heartfully agree
Loved the shows boys from down under all three Tonga,New Zealand n Australian 👍
Respekt vor dieser wunderschönen Kulisse und dem grandiosen Tattoo.
Respect for this beautiful backdrop and the grandiose tattoo.

@@ta537 Beautiful. Haunting, but beautiful.
It's called "Salute to Willie, the Royal Fendersmith". I believe it was played at the late Queen's funeral.

I love the arrangement of sing sing sing.
+Military Bands Everywhere I know the band major Rene Kuerlers
How enjoyable was that, I agree....best one that I had seen in a long time. Thanks for posting👏👏👍
That was 20 years ago ...none of us got any younger ...
What a moment, the first lone piper followed by his son! What an honour.
Yes I wonder if this was the piper that played the end of our Duke of edingboroughs funeral 🇬🇧
감동이네요. 비록 대한민국 군악대는 안 나왔지만, 그래도 좋았습니다. 잘 들었어요.감사해요.
Are you sure the banners for the pipes are for the Royal Family is that correct
Tonga was by far the best!!
Brian Alexander ......... ur the man 👍🎼🏴
at 8:52 it's like the pipers are looking right at you!!! :D
Looong, but worth watching through2 to the end. Historic & entertaining.
37:00 The original Top Secret Drum Corps!!! 🥁

The BBC doesn't have anything to do with who performs, that all comes from the Castle. So take your xenophobic bs and stuff it up yer arse.
@@WootTootZoot the castle have no say in the program that would be up to the producer, Major General Buster Howes CB OBE.

That's how much she cares....
I don’t know if you noticed but she doesn’t just sit around all year and do nothing but go to the tattoo
she goes to the tattoo every year....
