      This is a Reserve Regiment, The Honourable Artillery Company and they are "part-time soldiers". It has a long and proud history and can confuse some people who think they are members of one of the Guard's regiments.

    Watching from South Africa, the discipline, order, respect and the way they carry themselves is so heart warming and a pleasure to watch. They show immense pride in what they are doing. What they are doing, is everything that lacks in South African defense and police force. Here they can not even be on time, how on earth will they be able to keep up with the beat of the drums. England must be so proud❤

    Not as it used to be in my day, at attention you didn’t move, not to scratch not to do anything except remain still until ordered to move or you fainted!

      @Luum81 Месяц назад +2

      March 29, 2024.
      Only full-set beards allowed, must be between 2.5 and 25.5mm in length, trimmed at cheekbones and chin, not patchy or uneven, no,exaggerated colours, neat and properly groomed, will be regularly checked and may be required to be shaved around the seal of a respirator if chemical or biological weapons are to be used.
      RAF allowed beards in 2019, Royal Marines still prohibits them.
      Follows decisions by Denmark, Belgium and Germany to allow beards.

      @jimlepeu 27 дней назад +1

      @ no one suggested it was an issue, but there was height rules back in the 1950s. A friend of mine was a guards man and the minimum height for that was either 5’ 10” or 6” 0”

    I thought that the Royal Navy was the only branch of the Defence force that could grow a beard. Seems soldiers can as well, is this a new development or a;ways been the case ? Looking great on parade 👏👏👏👏

    • @skipper409
      @skipper409 Месяц назад +1

      In Victorian times it was perfectly acceptable to have huge beards in the army. Then gas masks came, and they were forbidden, although moustaches that ended level with the end of the top lip were permitted. Recently (ish) short, neat beards were allowed again, along with other relaxations (I believe it was to encourage hipsters to join😂)

      @ Wow, thanks for the info mate it was very interesting. I’m ex RAN and we could have beards if they were full so we could still wear firefighting masks and gas masks. Thanks Skipper.

      In my day, Sargents in the Pioneer Platoon of an Infantry Battalion had a beard which was traditional. On such parades they wore a type of butchers apron and carried an axe that had blade that had been highly polished.
