My goodness! And well did she deserve this tribute. She is sorely missed. Epitome of correctness and loyalty. Always got on with the job even in the midst of dreadful family embarrassments which were no fault of hers. Rest in peace.
Having served in the RAF myself, I can't help feeling a tinge of pride, as I watch these lads doing what they do best. The Queen's Colour Squadron, the finest drill display team in the world!
They were really good however, I will have to disagree with you. They pale in comparison to the USMC Silent Drill Team.... and as a drill team they should be carrying the greatest British rifle ever made the Lee-Enfield SMLE MkIII... those SA-80s suck as a both a drill rifle and a combat rifle...
As a very proud mum of one of them, I have watched them many times and (being totally unbiased !) they are faultless every time. Well done lads, our active military and veterans are not appreciated or respected enough in this country. A sad reflection of our current society and times…….
Thank you to the lady that filmed this so that the people who couldn't stand and watch and the people that couldn't be there could see it. Well done to the flash mob.
Even though this was 5 years ago, it is very impressive. It makes you proud to stand for freedom. What an honor for them to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday by doing this show for the people. Hoo hah!
Brought a little tear to my eye. brought back my marching out parade at RAF Swinderby in 1969 and being very tall I was right guard so my platoon and the two behind me, were all dependent on me keeping a straight line, but someone had parked a van, so I could not see the corner of the hanger my drill instructor had told me to line up with a white pole and a flag for that very purpose. By the time we got to where he halted us, I had swung the whole squadron about 3 metres to the right. I will never forget his swearing and cursing me under his breath as we stood to attention. Thankfully, after boot camp, I can't really recall the 5 years I stayed in, ever having to march like that again. Good thing I did not join the 'Rock Apes' i.e. these RAF Regiment guys were very good, especially it was not on a flat and wide parade ground but in a confined space, with the public having to be controlled and it was quite noisy. Like me using the corner of a hanger to march straight, their timing provided by the music as one unit has to be absolutely perfect. If just one of them makes a mistake (as I did) it can put the rest of the sequence out of order, so they would have practised that routine many times over and not where they actually did it. I was crap at marching but seeing those young men being that good, made me feel very proud to have served in the RAF which greatly changed me for the better and that we still have young people who felt as I did, wanted to defend our country. Back in my days the adverts' said "Join for the sport, comradeship and adventure" but my recruiting officer did not make it very clear, it was a job you may have to put your life on the line for. As an Aerial Photographic Operator was tasked one day to be sitting with my legs hanging out of a Success helicopter, with a great big camera strapped to my chest, which had been used in WW2. I had to press a button to film us passing by bushes on a cliff face in Cyprus that might be hiding Turkish Cypriot arms caches. To my absolute horror, found a machine gun firing at the helicopter I was in, I literally shat my self and was so grateful the pilot pulled off and we went back to Akrotiri airport. My point all those young men now, do not have the soft job I mainly had, which was processing and printing aerial photos back in England. They will be guarding RAF personnel, equipment and planes that often can now be in obscure parts of the world where they will be facing non-regular military personnel i.e. terrorists. That very high level of marching display showed so well they can work together in a very efficient way. All my respect and admiration.
@wakeup3860 I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for your country. And to let you know I would have been terrified to have done your job. 😲😳🥺 I'm ok with being in a plane (not a helicopter), but I cannot imagine hanging out the side of one taking pictures!! 🎞🎥📷🛩🚁 And also wanted to let you know that I am from Florida in the United States. I have a Huge Respect for the military, especially those who are fighting for their country, their lives and their families. My grandfather, father and older brother all served in the army. Thank you again for your service. My apologies for such a long response and sending you many blessings
Really well performed. Notice there was no one directing them. I was in the WRAF stationed at Jurby and the RAF came to do the "beating of the retreat" 1963/64 the RAF were perfect in those days. I shed a few tears to see this type of marching again, with lots more moves. Cheers RAF.
Having been in the military myself I can appreciate the hours of practicing it would have taken to be able to make it look so seamless. Well done to these airmen, a very cool tribute
I expect it instils discipline, working together as a well oiled machine, concentration and focus. All necessary in battle situations. This is not done purely for show, but for physical skill and concentration. Teamwork which is needed in con flict situations. Well done guys. You are superb. My dad had 2 brothers killed in WW1. He never knew them as he was born in 1913. My mum had 2 brothers in WW2. One a gunner on Russion convoys. Torpedoed and woke in a Russian hospital and said they were treated as heroes. The other was badly injured at ElAlamein. Both survived but long gone now.
The precision is mind-blowing. You could just make out the 90. A wonderful and beautiful tribute to the Queen. And now that it's April and her 95th. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
As a former airmen of Her Majesties Royal Air Force, this makes me so proud to watch. Always enjoyed the hearing the slap of the rifle during arms drill. Well done lads "PER ARDUA AD ASTRA" and God save our glorious queen
I may not be from your country, as I am an American, but thank you for your service. Sometimes I find y'all a bit weird, to be honest, but y'all are still awesome
Very crisp precise marching, must have been hours and hours of drill to have perfected that. I wouldn't mind betting every young man there wanted to be one of them and every old man wished he had those young days back again.
As a Canadian accidentally :) born in the US to Canadian Parents in 1953 this brought both a "Stiff Upper Lip" and tears. Dad, United Empire Loyalist Heritage, Mom, Irish American German Heritage. Respect
Although this was several years ago it was nice to watch it again. We are the best in any ceremonial circumstance and the RAF never fail to provide. A great display of drill and arms control and it was wonderful to hear the crowd cheer and applause for a very commendable and warm celebration for our glorious Queen.
Well said & seconded! Yes i'm a goth & love my "alternative " music & dress. But when it comes to pomp & circumstance, my beloved country does it best. I've been to the Edinburgh Festival 3 times to watch the Tattoo. The most amazing spectacle. Made me feel humbled & very proud to see our men & women of the British Forces, the Pipes & Drums, the history & the lone piper, put a lump in my throat the size of a beach ball. So yes. God bless England & our Queen. 👑❤
This is a wonderful way to acknowledge the Queen's birthday and those that were there were treated with this fine display. Love how Great Britain shows the world class and dignity. Love all the uniforms etc. Carry on.
Salute from your cousins across the Pond!! I have had the privilege and honor to train, work and fight alongside many of our mutual allies, including Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and I love the way you still have that "Old School" flair and polish when marching!! Love that very English sense of humor too!!! #RESPECT!!!
I was in the crowd at the time and I thought it was absolutely fantastic! I'm very grateful to whoever posted this as a record of the event. The first (and final) march was "Eagle Squadron". Then followed by the "RAF" and "Luftwaffe" marches from the film "Battle of Britain.
@@farodealer'Sorry, Katherine. 'Fraid not! David Bradley was - more or less - right. (He's not the actor, is he?) The second one was the 'official' Battle of Britain March from the film of the same name. (I've got the soundtrack......)
These guys stopped my base being mortered in Afghanistan. This is a serious fighting unit. As you can imagine, when someone saves your arse you build a lot of respect. Oh yeh, and they are good at drill.
LOVED the flash mob celebration for Her Majesty The pomp and ceremony can only be done by the British, and boy did they do an absolute terrific rendition Loved the whole routine 💓🌻
What's not to love?! Those are our protectors. God Bless the RAF and all of our Forces. I thought that they did a splendid and flawless display. Only wish that I'd been there.
Well Done! Thank you for posting the video! My Father served in the RAF and immigrated to the US in the mid fifties. I hope that our "special relationship" can endure with the UK!
A spectacular display! The precision and timing was magnificent to watch! A wonderful presentation by the RAF to celebrate Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II birthday! Well Done RAF!!
The first march, "Eagle Squadron," salutes the American airmen who deployed to Britain in WWII. Listen carefully, and you can hear strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Kenneth Alford composed some of the finest marches we have.
Why have I only just seen this four years later? How did I miss it??? Wonderful stuff!! *patriotic tears* - they had better start practising, and do something for Her Maj’s platinum celebration next year!! Good willing and all that! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
The British are without a doubt the "Best" when it comes to the ceremony. Their class, decorum, discipline is top notch. After all, they have been doing this for a thousand years or more. Absolutely magnificent. Her Majesty must be proud as punch, (as this was for her 90th Birthday.)
The British are the best at quite a lot of things, and the RAF are the oldest and the best air force in the world. I doubt if the Queen saw this particular performance.
Me too, I used to love watching The Royal Tournament each year, but they dont do it any more. Plus we wont be having Trooping the Colour AGAIN!! this year. Dont know about you, but brings a lump to my throat.
Excellent show! No screaming and shouting like other armed bodies of men to "motivate" themselves. Just a disciplined squad doing what they were trained to do with no fuss. What more do we need? I would trust them. Soon enough we will all need to. Well done.
Thankyou for posting this my Dad and Grandad and an Uncle were in the RAF Grandad was in the Battle of Britain WW11 my Dad and Uncle in Signals during the height of the Cold War - so proud of them and even prouder to be a RAF Brat. Thank you so much for posting will share with my Dad he's 85 now and will be absolutely chuffed to see this. ❤🇬🇧
I grew up with a dad in the (US) Navy and we took my whole 3rd grade class to a military performance, not unlike this. It was way more intense and exciting, but it was also a huge performance by at least a thousand people. This just reminded me of that fond childhood memory.
The royalty is just a waste of money....north worth the billion pounds/year for these silly shows...it needs to be abolished and people need that money
What a wonderful piece. We are British. Not EU. I do not want our people under EU command. Thank god we are leaving. A wonderful display. I wonder how many UK citizens and tourists that day had a smile on their faces after seeing that?! 👍🇬🇧
AMAZING, our armed forces are fantastic and aren't appreciated nearly as much as they should be. HUGE HUGE thank you to all the British armed forces you are all amazing people. Was great seeing such a fantastic flashmob dedicated to our Queens 90th birthday by such amazing people
I didnt see there Fred,is he really dead? I didn't hear Fred,this Queen music is sad.Maybe I dont know what really rock'n'roll mean,is it realy tribute of Queen?I rather watch the show of mr Been ,fuck birthday of queen.I am poor human being ,nobody is up above ,no one is king or queen.I enjoy the wine & bread,give us real Oueen,where is my friend Fred?
YES!!! That took me back to my RAF Regiment days. A short stint at QCS I say short stint because I was sent back to my regiment after 6 months as new intake towered above me, :) But I did enjoy the pomp and pageantry. Happy 100 years to my fellow RAFians
Outstanding. This kind of precision takes months to get right, and they nailed it. Great choice of music: Eagle Squadron, Battle of Britain theme, Aces High march (both from the Battle of Britain soundtrack), and ending with Eagle Squadron reprise. Kinda missed the RAF March Past, but nothing could spoil this performance.
Christoere I agree with you, brotherly love, so important. I LOVED working with the American Navy, so warm and friendly. We all got on so well together, I will NEVER forget that sunny afternoon, when we all became ONE!
I couldn't believe the amount of people who ignored it completely. I would gladly be late for whatever I was going to if I stumbled across something like this.
I was hoping to see them do stairs in formation! Thanks to whomever posted this. Spectacular. Edited to say angles and curves are hard but they were perfect!
It's a shame the girl filming this missed the concept of the finishing move, 90. ALL those manoeuvres were done on a single word of command. Brilliant lads, well done!
Absolutely wonderful. Brought back all of my childhood memories watching my dad. He was in the Lancs. Fusilliers Band in Colchester. I live in California but love watching British Military, there's nothing like it in the world. Brilliant job R.A.F.
This would have impressed my father so much if he were still alive God bless him :-) tail gunner ww2 for over 4 years and a full 50 flights of war. I was an obvious whooops as he was 57 when I was born (quite a remarkable chap hahaa) he sadly died in my arms when I was 15 just before his 72nd birthday! This event would have given him hope our future still holds proud young men and women I’m absolutely certain and I don’t mind admitting I’ve shed a tear watching it and I’m now 47 hahaa :-) what a very proud display right :-)
Respect from a Humble Englishman..my Wifes Great Uncle was a Lancaster Pilot and my Grandfather fought at Arnhem..Know this..your Dad was a special man..but you knew this already.
Bless accept my deepest regrets on the loss of your father. He and many others of his generations faced unparalleled and unimaginable horror in order to keep the world safe. We living can never thank him and his comrades for all they gave to protect us.
God save the Queen! I figured out the '90' and said it aloud just before the woman filming this excellent tribute. Nice to know I'm not as dumb as I look. ;-) Happy Belated Birthday, Your Majesty! - an American
When I was doing my trade training (Supp-A) at RAF Hereford in summer 1973, we had quite a lot of parades & high-ranking visitors. The music we marched to was provided by the RAF Apprentices band. They could play 2 tunes. The RAF march and I'll Haily & The Comets' Rock Around the Clock. Yes, that song IS a march! 😂😂
The precision of it all .. brilliant love the fixing of the bayonets and the Battle of Britain music.. also the Luftwaffe March tune.. so glad these guys are on our side. Well done lads
My goodness! And well did she deserve this tribute. She is sorely missed. Epitome of correctness and loyalty. Always got on with the job even in the midst of dreadful family embarrassments which were no fault of hers. Rest in peace.
to paraphrase mel brooks.. - its good to be the queen
I think the Princess Royal is a lot like her mum: Get on with the job, no fuss...very stalwart
Imagine you were a visitor to this country, stepped off the train at Liverpool Street and were greeted by this. ;)
Some wud think it's a norm for visitors to get that treatment
Probably think "I passed through customs fine please dont shoot me!"
You'd think you were entering a nation of a totalitarian dictators.
Wot, you mean this doesn't happen every day...
I think that would be the most exciting thing that I could imagine.

The first march, "Eagle Squadron," salutes the American airmen who deployed to Britain in WWII. Listen carefully, and you can hear strains of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Kenneth Alford composed some of the finest marches we have.
At 3.30 the music being played was from the film Battle of Britian.

My Dad would of been in tears watching this, he would of been so proud.
Don't get how they never crash into each other in the bit at 05:10! Very clever.
I grew up with a dad in the (US) Navy and we took my whole 3rd grade class to a military performance, not unlike this. It was way more intense and exciting, but it was also a huge performance by at least a thousand people. This just reminded me of that fond childhood memory.
I love when they cross walk by one another without bumping or missing a step. I love that.
We need to be proud as a nation and respect and admire that people in the services have given so much so.
One hell of a show thanks for sharing god bless our service men & women
Ian Murray was
You got that right...
Thanks
Agree!
The royalty is just a waste of money....north worth the billion pounds/year for these silly shows...it needs to be abolished and people need that money
What a wonderful piece.
We are British. Not EU.
I do not want our people under EU command.
Thank god we are leaving.
A wonderful display.
I wonder how many UK citizens and tourists that day had a smile on their faces after seeing that?!
👍🇬🇧
They make me feel so proud. God bless all who serve and have served❤️
AMAZING, our armed forces are fantastic and aren't appreciated nearly as much as they should be. HUGE HUGE thank you to all the British armed forces you are all amazing people. Was great seeing such a fantastic flashmob dedicated to our Queens 90th birthday by such amazing people
Thank you for that beautiful march. It was really great. That was a great tribute to Queen for her 90th birthday.
.
This is faultless and a fantastic tribute to The Queen
I didnt see there Fred,is he really dead? I didn't hear Fred,this Queen music is sad.Maybe I dont know what really rock'n'roll mean,is it realy tribute of Queen?I rather watch the show of mr Been ,fuck birthday of queen.I am poor human being ,nobody is up above ,no one is king or queen.I enjoy the wine & bread,give us real Oueen,where is my friend Fred?
@@degodzelf7434 I think you really need to grow up.
YES!!! That took me back to my RAF Regiment days. A short stint at QCS I say short stint because I was sent back to my regiment after 6 months as new intake towered above me, :) But I did enjoy the pomp and pageantry. Happy 100 years to my fellow RAFians
Kisii song
How utterly brilliant! From Tasmania, Australia! Love it!!
I LOve how the guys heads go up a bit and their shoulders are squarer when the battle of Britain music starts at 3.30
Outstanding. This kind of precision takes months to get right, and they nailed it. Great choice of music: Eagle Squadron, Battle of Britain theme, Aces High march (both from the Battle of Britain soundtrack), and ending with Eagle Squadron reprise. Kinda missed the RAF March Past, but nothing could spoil this performance.
As ex WRAF I have to say I was proud to see the display those RAF Regiment boys put on.
I love an RAF drill display anytime! My dad served with the RAF as a chaplain after a short spell as an airman.
precision timing well done to the arm force of the UK awesome bunch of team members well done keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. Being older people in the USA. That was most enjoyable.
As an Australian, I am moved. God save our Queen!
Christoere I agree with you, brotherly love, so important. I LOVED working with the American Navy, so warm and friendly. We all got on so well together, I will NEVER forget that sunny afternoon, when we all became ONE!
May Her Majesty rest with the angels. She more than earned it.
Lovely to see! Also the respect shown by the passengers as these guys saluted Her Majesty!
This is so wonderful for our beautiful Queen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had no idea the RAF could do these drills, and with such perfection.
you are correct only the RAF Regiment does drill to this level the rest of the RAF are well shall we say nothing to be kind
I wonder how many people missed their train because they were watching this! Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
I couldn't believe the amount of people who ignored it completely. I would gladly be late for whatever I was going to if I stumbled across something like this.
I was hoping to see them do stairs in formation! Thanks to whomever posted this. Spectacular. Edited to say angles and curves are hard but they were perfect!
You can't beat our RAF always looking smart and polished.
so incredible! I love flashmobs. There need to be more of them.
It's a shame the girl filming this missed the concept of the finishing move, 90. ALL those manoeuvres were done on a single word of command. Brilliant lads, well done!
Absolutely wonderful. Brought back all of my childhood memories watching my dad. He was in the Lancs. Fusilliers Band in Colchester. I live in California but love watching British Military, there's nothing like it in the world. Brilliant job R.A.F.
Concept not at all missed. Impossible to film full breadth of display.
@@maureenmcglynn638 Some of the American forces not bad to some brilliant arms drill
@@richarddavies1163 oh you mean the ones that provoke the wars or just invade?
This would have impressed my father so much if he were still alive God bless him :-) tail gunner ww2 for over 4 years and a full 50 flights of war. I was an obvious whooops as he was 57 when I was born (quite a remarkable chap hahaa) he sadly died in my arms when I was 15 just before his 72nd birthday! This event would have given him hope our future still holds proud young men and women I’m absolutely certain and I don’t mind admitting I’ve shed a tear watching it and I’m now 47 hahaa :-) what a very proud display right :-)
I dont know what to say.
Respect. Might do
I was the the young one. Dad did 50 sorties RAF.
Respect from a Humble Englishman..my Wifes Great Uncle was a Lancaster Pilot and my Grandfather fought at Arnhem..Know this..your Dad was a special man..but you knew this already.
Bless accept my deepest regrets on the loss of your father. He and many others of his generations faced unparalleled and unimaginable horror in order to keep the world safe. We living can never thank him and his comrades for all they gave to protect us.
Yes, Daddy. :) My father would have loved it, also.
Totally AWESOME RAF!!! Very impressive MILITARY,I know ENGLAND 🇬🇧is very proud !!! 😍😍😍🇺🇲🇺🇲👏👏👏💞💞
God save the Queen!
I figured out the '90' and said it aloud just before the woman filming this excellent tribute. Nice to know I'm not as dumb as I look. ;-)
Happy Belated Birthday, Your Majesty! - an American
Well done guys... From an ex scuffer!
Reminds me of my younger brother in his RAF uniform when he joined,so proud of them all 😀🏴
When I was doing my trade training (Supp-A) at RAF Hereford in summer 1973, we had quite a lot of parades & high-ranking visitors. The music we marched to was provided by the RAF Apprentices band. They could play 2 tunes. The RAF march and I'll Haily & The Comets' Rock Around the Clock. Yes, that song IS a march! 😂😂
Well done guys, that was awesome! 👏😁🙌✌💞
A brilliant show from the R A F the drill is impeccable (good video)
Champaign , Illinois. We are greatly impressed. Carry on.
I liked how they marched into '90' at the end
Fantastic!! Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Bet was QCS - Queen’s Colour Squadron, RAF Regiment. Best in the world at what they do!
I love the fact that everyone moves out of their way as they March through the place.
The precision of it all .. brilliant love the fixing of the bayonets and the Battle of Britain music.. also the Luftwaffe March tune.. so glad these guys are on our side. Well done lads
What amazes me is the people walking nonchalantly past like nothing is happening. I would love to have been there to see this. Fantastic.
