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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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. 👏🇬🇧👑❤️🙏🇺🇸
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 ❤
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.
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,
@@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.
I most definitely love a good parade. I have to say the senior general staff do need to practice it's been awhile they've been on the parade Square. They're a bit out of sync but overall very good. Very impressive and glad to see him. Marching and leading by example to the rest of the group, great job well done. Thank you all for your service
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.
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.
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.

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.
Check out the ‘boss’. It’s obviously been quite some time since he sat atop a horse on a daily basis. It reminds me of an old picture I saw years ago, of Henry VIII being winched up onto his horse, because he was unable to mount up in the normal manner anymore. ( too many business luncheons 🤣 in both cases ).

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.
Vern also organised the Queen's funeral.
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.
Check out the ‘boss’. It’s obviously been quite some time since he sat atop a horse on a daily basis. It reminds me of an old picture I saw years ago, of Henry VIII being winched up onto his horse, because he was unable to mount up in the normal manner anymore.
( too many business luncheons 🤣 in both cases ).
Hmmm. The “boss” runs marathons to raise money for the Tickets for Troops charity. He is a big man, as it is. So, try again!
Actually Henry the VIII had to be winched on to his horse when in full tournament Armour not because he was old and fat.
