The majority of the people you see are serving soldiers. These are not just people dressed up for the occasion they are serving, decorated soldiers. It is the biggest showing since the last Coronation and it will be logistically very well all worked out.
Well said.
I seriously wish some people would read up on things if they are going to watch these occasions. I loved watching the Marines. It is not that often we get to see them all together.
Proud of them all
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 watching them all march over Westminster bridge is something to see 👍💂♀️💂♂️
ALL those you see in military uniform are serving soldiers.
They think its all theatre
At 10:20 you can see a large guardsman wearing a bearskin with Royal Marines in the background. That is the Garrison Sergeant Major, Vern Stokes, who planned the whole parade from start to finish. Incredible.
Whilst I admire all GSMs, it's a turn of the handle, every time!
Vern was in a TV series as a called ‘Battle Stripes’ in the 90s when he was a young Sgt at the IBS in Brecon doing his Platoon Sgts course. Well worth a watch. Can be found on YT
You mean God
Must have missed the GSM
Thank you for the information
These people, I should say the guards etc, are not hurting anyone and should be given respect, and it is great for tourism, it is fine and should be supported... Plus the UK is probably the best in the world at doing this.
Excuxs me but "harrassing the Guards as a lot of them do (not all of them so but the vast majority do, their behaviour at times and this is at most times, is unacceptable. Yes I agree with you that the tourists should be an asset but these are peoiple who never go into the Household Cavalry Shops on site nor in the Museum. so how is that an assett. The tourists have been coming to London as I have since 1953 every year and every year I have bought from their venues I have visited and that is what is known as supporting these venues. and because of the joy I get from my visits, I don't get "drunk" nor to I harrass the guardsmen and horses as i have had over so many years, I always buy items from their venues as I would sooner help to fund these young men and now women too who keep us safe year in year out.
UK has different behaviour mindset now. No respect. No consequences. No hope. It's not the old UK that adored this anymore.
No one should interfere with anyone doing their jobs, pretty sure you would not like it if we came and stuck our faces in your job.
@@veronicawilliams7427 Where the hell did you learn English, you're giving people headaches with what you typed there.
@@elainecameron4024 It's the tourists that come and mess with the guards not the natives.
A very big thank you to all Service personnel for a magnificent effort for the Kings Coronation.
Nobody in the world does it better. God save the King.

It's all slavery.
@@XVONE and same people love their servitude. They Can't get enough of the pillaging. Stockholm syndrome.
Thank you, notice some of your boys were in that march out.
@@XVONE haven't you got some jordan maxwell dong to be chowing down on?
Returning the horses back to Horseguards for a well deserved rest. I have never been more proud of our Armed forces for their precision in executing there display and loyalty to the Crown.
They are pretend guards and are only there to generate revenue from tourists . If they were actually proper soldiers then why do the police go and hold their hand when a tourist upsets them . They use horses as meat shields to weaponize them against the public its a barbaric and primitive practise that has no place in society.
Why ? What's wrong with you we are being invaded and you think they care eh ?
@@alisonhilll4317 of course they care, they have pride in their regiment and their country
there? Their you mean 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had to laugh at the lady who just said "he knows what he is doing". They ALL know what they are doing dear.
I hope she enjoyed her day.
I still cannot get used to that. I live abroad, moved in 1975. I have only known a Queen, but my dad's first medal has her father on one side, he served from 1946 for nearly 27 years
❤
The pagentry was a sight to behold...
I loved watching the skill of horseman handling their mounts. The marching of the forces representing the Commonwealth was truly a joy to watch. The working royals in regala and all the rest of the family members gathered to show loyalty. The support of the coronation of King Charles III and his queen Camilla was good to see. Still, remembering Princess Di. The tragedy of all this is that the rift in the family can be seen and felt. Bottom line, is that it is a family. Pure and simple. I hope that healing will happen at some point.
Forgiveness for what cannot be changed...
Now, from around the globe, all the love and support was truly a joy to watch.
👏🇬🇧👑❤️🙏🇺🇸
She been has been gone for over 25 years it’s about time moved on and stop trying to include her in everything !
God dont want her to be a queen. Simple as that. Cos God Save The King.
Where's the respect

I am just a lowly German, but my sincerest respect for all those, that serve their people and country. My I say God save the King.
Nah man, your now all good Germans... for now at least. So we are all brothers and sisters in arms.

Don't be a lowly German, you can be a proud German. If proud sounds like too much you can be at least a happy German. 😂

If you're talking about the Major-General it's not a rare visit. HIs office is in Horse Guards
It is his office the Royal family who are not directly involved in ceremonial going on on Horse Guards use to watch
Actually their boss is the KING !
These are officers, senior officers at the beginning of the video. As an ex soldier, I can remember us all laughing at officers drill in training. Of course, they were there for their technical knowledge and to drum military matters into our own thick skulls. So it didn't matter when their drill was a little off. Still, it gave us 16-17 year old junior soldiers some amusement.
It is plain that some of them are a little rusty
@@cattycorner8 And judging from my own experience with the care and feeding of Flag Officers and Navy Captains at least of few of them were thinking "I"m getting too old for this sh*t, my feet hurt."
Respects to all from a Yank.
@@robertf3479 haha fr you can see it in some of the people at the start, a few of them did look like civs tho
Big Boss is the guy with white feathers, with the chest full of medals, he is a war veteran!

Defense or aggression?
@@jayme3181 Probably a bit of both just like most armies.
@@andylindy He is not the big boss. He is also a very short man.
Don't call the Wallachian Prince *short*.
The “big boss” technically would be the King 😊
Standing at attention.... for hours on end.... that's extremely difficult!!!
Their dedication is extraordinary!!! Being a guard is very hard work!!!
Not just guards, any soldier doing guard duty.
It's all slavery.
@@XVONE it's only slavery in your mind. I served in the forces of my own choice. I loved every minute of it and wish they would bring back national service.
My Dad was a Royal Marine. A story he told me about guard duty at Eastney barracks Portsmouth . Sergeant would inspect you on horse back and horse would breath on your brasses causing them to mist up. You then had to double around the parade ground for having dirty brasses.
They do not stand to attention, they are standing at ease.
I really enjoyed it yesterday, watched from 7am to 10pm,you soldiers there at the kings coranation, you looked amazing, the kings guards uniform were stunning, nice to see the boss pop in wish I can be there to take pictures,
Lord Nelson at Trafalgar Square! Mad respect you beautiful Brits!
Британцы мерзавцы!!!
GSM Stokes. A man whose gaze can melt an entire Guardsman with one glance.
That's because Guardsmen are mincers.
@@JammyDodger45 And you're a plonker, so, there ya go.
The only person who probably knew more about a Guardsman uniform was Her Late Majesty who had over 70 years experience in the British Military
There must be a HUGE amount of preparation, for International Military and High Ranking Visitors, to leave soon.👑🌍☮️
Great to see the New Zealand "lemon squeezer" cap @ :46 into the video - God save the King and God defend New Zealand!! 🥝🥝👑👑
How about Camilla? 😄
@@ThePantygun she is his wife. Not the leader of the commonwealth
God save New Zealand indeed, you gave so much to this country in two World Wars. Such a debt we owe to you and the Commonwealth nations.
@@everettsharp1917 You're sick.
There was a lady on tv who was praised for her 1-1/2 hour stint in the Abbey. She said, she didn't need the praise, because the guards outside had stood for 14/15hrs.
Im from southern California, but I have huge respect for the UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers pal.
Try moving there and don’t be surprised if you feel differently. Those who actually live there are starting to lose faith in their declining country. It’s been slowly but surely ruined by a greed ridden, self serving political class. Where the leading politicians are completely out of touch with the lives of ordinary people. They don’t seem to comprehend that it’s not acceptable or normal to have towns and cities littered with food banks.
@@TheMazza595 The political class of a democracy is a reflection of its electorate. There have always been and will always be self serving opportunistic assholes... the real question is: why are they given power? The solution starts with the people: how many of them vote, or take real interest in politics for that matter? How many expand their horizons, sharpen their critical thinking skills, and carefully evaluate the candidates put before them so as to not fall prey to populism or obvious lies? I don't blame the clowns in charge so much as I blame the fools who freely give them the reins of power.
Sorry you have got this seriously wrong. The real commander is not wearing a bearskin and walks away once he is happy that the senior NCO has everything in hand, which they always do. Senior NCOs make the army
Watching an RSM telling a Major, to.... (Go fuck yourself sir) is a beautiful thing to behold. 🤣
Thank you
The Guy in the Cap is even more senior than the officer in the bearskin as he returned the salute.
THE REAL WORKFORCE IN THE BRITISH ARMED FORCES, YOU NEVER SEE, THEY’RE BUSY MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING LIKE CLOCKWORK
This isn't the official King's Guard's channel. This is a person just calling their channel that. The official channel has the King's Guard's insignia, AND a lot more subscribers.
That is a whole lot of top brass marching back from the coronation. This is why the public are kept clear
I retired from the US Army after 26 yrs, 2.5 as a Paratrooper Medic, then SF trained, then 12 as a Green Beret Medic/Operations Sgt, then10 as a Commissioned Warrant Officer. It was my HONOR to cross train with the British Army on MULTIPLE occasions over those years. I am SOOOO glad the UK and US are Allies!!!! I always said that we(US Army) did not stress this type of discipline ENOUGH.
Excellent footage, nice to see the horse and Guardsman pub in the background!🍻
Lovely pub. Went there last year
It just makes me proud of my country 😃
Yeah! Especially with our traditional trash in the street! Keep Britain Tidy? Nah. Wouldn't be British!
@@nalasimba are you stupid or something? in a city with millions of people you are surprised to see a bit of rubbish in the street? where are you from i bet i could find something a lot worse than a bit of litter to pick at.
Youve got give them London Bobbies credit. Its hard to look friendly and approachable carrying an automatic machine gun in your hands. But they pull it off remarkably well. God save the King. Long live the King.
Theses men are and women are all warriors
Thank you 🙏🏼
I never been to UK ,But i respect the people in the royal guards for what they do for their country, and I respect the citizens, coming from an American,my we all live in peace in the USA and UK, AND around the world 🌎🌍 💂👑
A lot of spit and polish. All the different uniforms look amazing.
Different services.
@@veronicacrabtreehill6608 thank you for pointing out the obvious.
Loved the padre with a chest-full of medals.
That NZ soldier looked pretty smooth with his marching, love from New Zealand my UK brothers in arms.
Nice to see the first officer i ever met when i joined my regiment in 1988, the only officer in green trousers, His name is Mr Hyams. the regiment is now known as the royal dragoon guards.
Nope - it has been called the Blues and Royals for more than 30 years.
@@hb1338 I should know the difference my former regiment and the blues and royals. my former regiment wear green trousers.
@@hb1338 imagine telling someone their own business
Thank you to all for your service
Thank you for keeping up the history
Good to see a Big Boss looking the part. He's not a small man.
You can tell you wouldn't have wanted to be in his bad books.
We could all use more respect for tradition. Well done
A great observation today. Thank you. ❤🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Did anybody noticed the architecture & prestige perfection, all alike. Memorizing. Simply, breath taking. Raining too, look at that; droplets. yes. Good day, cheers.
Thanks for posting this fantastic video. All of His Majesty's Armed Forces were flawless, including the large contingent of Commonwealth troops -- an absolutely essential and impeccable part of the whole operation.
Far from flawless mate.
WOW!!! There's nowhere in the world like LONDON!!!! Love it..xxx
I am always surprised that senior officers can't drill properly. If an ordinary soldier would drill like this he would be punished.
Danke Ihnen für die schönen Bilder.
damn looking at those older officers at the start chills
Absolute perfection. Saddens me that so many just don't get it; this and The Beatles!
The Royal Navy stole the show from 12 a breast to 6 absolute precision only the British army first class 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧
That manoeuvre was just amazing to watch! Absolutely fantastic - had to keep rewatching it!!
3 seconds. 3 SECONDS! It was astonishing.
0:44 Could have had nice cars with their nations flag here really. It is really nice to see they were equally included. But I can't help thinking they felt as out of place as their timing, and the people that were drilled unable to properly represent their nation. But you can't give anyone an excuse now, so weirdly, they all did their bit there. Good show!!
Really good to see very different England can put on a good show l was born in England lived in USA 60yrs
Quite a collection of uniforms, impressive.
I just love British people.someday would love to visit you
That’s your juice, but you’ve the grace to let others do their thing.
Major General Chris Ghika on horse back, a flying visit he rode straight past.
I can honestly say as an American I have no idea what is happening here
In 10-20 years or so, I might be persuaded to travel to London for the future King's coronation. William's coronation will be something, the people will rally when that happens.
Sorry to disappoint, but with a bit of luck Royalty shall be confined to the history books. I think 'blowing' tens of millions of £'s for a Coronation is an absolute disgrace.
@@ggpp4898I disagree we do pageantry very well and it's a huge tourist draw which is a net benifit for the economy.
While I think the monarchy itself should become more like the Dutch or Danish monarchies most of the time we should keep at least some of the pagentary
If I had to guess was time around Kings Coronation. Love him or hate him still part of Brits life. Remember a living King down from George 3rd or Queen Victoria is Historical. Draws tourists.
Who goes to France or Germany for this last remaining live history. Hey just a yank here. Not that those countries should have kept a Monache. But UK managed to incorporate this into their gov.
Won't last forever, nothing does. See it while you can. No matter how King Charles slims the Royals will never be enough for some. Take his money, for what illegals.
The police tactical gear looks really intimidating, in a good way.
I've never seen so much "tinsel" marching as a captain, and I've seen a lot in over 40 years - "Cheer up" the step is right
At 0:36 WOW... the vicar's been around the block a time or two, hasn't he?
Never thought I'd see a Busby on horseback! There you go!
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.
God save the king and Queen 👑
I felt in awe of this march
Too many people underestimate the king's guards and their horses. They're specially trained, and everyone should be respectful by obeying the signs.
God save the King and thank you for your service to all the men and women in our Military
God save the world not the king 😂😂😂
For a moment I thought the Big Boss was a Colonel in the Irish Guards hanging out at the Gates.😀
The guards are an elite force. Proven loyalty, and proven bravery. Over and over again. They're traditions and battle honours are long and unfathomable.
Now for the joke; how do you know it's horse guards?
They're all related.
Love from A British soldier
Lol of course the Australian was out of step (or I'm sure he said everyone else was) closely followed by that complete NZ lightweight blanket stacker Jim Bliss !!
Welsh guard .. so nope! People were kept at bay ONLY because of the to-ing and fro-ing of the visiting military for the coronation and NOT because a Welsh Guards officer just happened to be watching.
The guardsman in charge is @ 09:58 The Regimental Sergeant Major of the Coldstream Guards Niemegan Company and that is because the Coldstreamers ARE the King's Guard!
God bless them All 🌷🌷
Across the Road from Horseguards is the Banqueting House, outside was where Charles 1 had his head chopped off.
Some really cool footage there!
Behold your taxes ladies and gentlemen!
and as always the dressing of the lower ranks was better than that of the officers at the start lol well done chaps and chappeses thanks and stay safe
Thank you for this video. I miss the coronation as I was working.
this is a great video.

i like how you got a great view of GSM vern stokes at the end of the video, i wish, hes my role model
That’s amazing clarity photography, it’s like I was there
I work in Corporate Uniform industry, most of those marching would be in new shoes for that day, or just broke in a day or so before
I pick up bits and pieces that have changed since my day 56 years ago when I joined the army, my lord, has it really been that long.

Payed a fortune and carrying a lot of weight. I'd guess he has never done our BFT.
they must have been going to an amazing big function all dressed up etc love it
To be clear - The most senior officers in this video are seen at 0:30 seconds. The three officers marching with gold sashes and large amounts of scrambled egg on their caps are general officer rank, they are also wearing frock coats. So very rarely you have generals marching amongst all the other officers at the 0:30 stamp. The gold sash over frock coat denotes general officer And so they outrank everyone else seen in this video.
Neither the bearskin or the senior NCO are the commander of anything. The chap who commands the household troops and in fact all troops garrisoned inside London district is a major general and he’s seen with his tri corn hat with feathers at 6:01
That is the general officer commanding London and the actual commander. Sorry to let facts get in the way.
This video just sums this country up …..!!! All that litter on the floor and people just walking and stood round it without the thought of picking it up… make the place look a shit hole .!!!!
I adore all that!❤
It's just mindblowing how animan studios made a visit at that 40 second mark
Vern also organised the Queen's funeral.
4:55 what does he say to you right here? "He literally has more balls than anyone'?

We have the best army and this is built on traditional values
RM marching the best, as usual😉
I find it interesting that the higher the rank the more they seem to forget the basic drilling standards
They don't have to do it as much anymore. The lower ranks basically do drill everyday whereas the top dogs only have to do it like, what? Once or twice every year. And they are getting old as well like that one fella on the left.
With their racks of medals and ribbons, it’s almost like a full battle rattle going on 😅
The guy with the Arrow pointing at
IS NOT THE BIG BOSS the man with the highest rank on that pageantry is His Royal Highness King Charles 3rd as Field Marshall of the Army. He is the big boss
They try to spotlight one of the people working behind the scenes and you're like "I'm going to rain on this man's parade"
Try “His Majesty King Charles the 3rd” not HRH
It looks like some people do not have clue how to behave around an animal they are not familiar with. First time they see a horse up close at all I wonder. Unbelievable. 😠
