Condolences on the loss of Prince Phillip. He certainly was a grand gentleman who loved his corps, his nation, his Queen and their people. He will be sorely missed by the entire free world.
American in Washington state. British traditions give us so many brilliant military spectaculars to watch. British patriotic military affairs are wonderful.
@John Bull that’s interesting, I’d be interested in finding out why that was, and why we changed. I’m glad we do now though, this was such a fantastic video.
I've done Beat the Retreat as an infantryman. Weeks of square bashing with the RSM. Uniform perfect. The public are invited to come and watch, no pressure. Thinking about it still gives me a rush. The Marines did a fine job with their drill. The bands were as crisp and professional as I'd expect. Nobody does military ceremony like the British. It demonstrates the wealth and discipline available to the crown/nation. Flamboyantly.
What an amazing show! I just stumbled onto this, and what a treat it was. As an American, I did think that the US might have sent THE US Marine Band from Washington instead of the Second Division Band (good though they were) as a gesture of respect for the Royal Marines and for our staunchest ally, Great Britain. No one, but NO ONE does ceremonials like our British cousins. Many, many thanks to the Bands of Her Majesty's Royal Marines for presenting this video.
@@jamierodg1 Not sure how to read your comment, but despite the fact that they're all Marines, I still feel that for a once-in-350-years occasion - and ESPECIALLY to honor the Best of their Fellow Marines! - the Corps should have sent the Big Band.
It was exciting to see the U.S. Marine Corps represented by the Second Division Band out of Camp LeJeune, N.C. General Lewis "Chesty" Puller would have been proud. The "Marines' Marine" backed his men to the hilt. A lifetime of service to the Corps and country, he was CO at Camp LeJeune where he retired in 1955. That's where I had the unique honor of serving in his newly created Honor Guard. The division band is truly representative of the military prowess of the 2nd Division and the United States Marine Corps. I was impressed with the Netherlands Marines, too. Three Corps of Marines, marching as one. Semper Fi.
What a WONDERFUL event.The Dutch,The Americans and The British musicians were absolutely great. A credit to the armed forces of their respective countries.The Royal Navy guard impeccable Splice the mainbrace/
So proud of my country. Unlike some nations, who I won't name, we don't parade with rockets and various armaments, we just give a magnificent display of marching and military music.
The Dutch,the American and the British contributed master pieces of performance had stolen the hearts of the world population!! Hats off to tri musical force!
Watching this as a Dutchman is so bittersweet. We never see our men and women of the armed forces parade through our streets. If only we could be proud as a nation, like the British and Americans.
Sitting here in Auckland New Zealand, August 23rd 2021 under lockdown again with the Delta Covid knocking us around so I started to watch this and absolutely loved every minute of it from start to finish, the music, the drums, the marching, the precision, thank you for guiding me to this site, stay safe and God Bless those who are being affected by this evil time in our lives, we shall overcome :-)
I'm glad that the full version of this is now available on RUclips. Beautiful as always! Glory to the United Kingdom!🇬🇧 Watching from the Philippines!🇵🇭
My Father was a Royal Marine and took me to see the Band beating the Retreat in the summer of 1964 I still have the programme and the memories of a wonderful evening. Thank you for this video.
You gotta admire the US Marine band performing from memory on a few pieces. No charts required. The sound engineering for this broadcast is absolutely superb. How they mic'ed these mass bands is impressive and deserving of an award for best sound production.
Just to note the Corp of Drums don’t use music sheets ever, plus the way the Royal Marines do intricate drumstick movements bringing the sticks up under the nose in sync is impressive
Even back in 2014 The Duke of Edinburgh was looking quite frail, I don’t think it was a shock to most of us in the United Kingdom when he passed away, after a lifetime of service to our nation, in good times and bad alongside Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II he was a consummate member of the Royal family and a huge supporter of our military, he is sorely missed. RIP your Highness, Lest We Forget, another of our greatest generation has passed, a decorated member of the Royal Navy during WWII, thank you for your service Sir. 😥😞😔😟🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧
You have to love doing something like this. Has to be a part of you 24 hours a day. It isn't something you regard as a job. It's your life. Dedication, combined with fine musicianship, precision marching skills, maneuvers executed without a command, bolstered by total dedication to Corps and country. Royal Marines set the goals and the standard. You have to be a Marine to get that unfathomable fantastic spirit. Once a Marine- Always a Marine. Per Mare Per Terram (by Sea By Land) U.S. Marines Semper Fi (Always Faithful) Dutch Marines Qua Patet Orbis ("As Far as the World Extends")
@@lloydcollins6337 is such pedanticism really necessary, most everyone knows that women are also a part of the bands, and respect them equally, the use of men is a historical one, and is nowerdays, if subconsciously, an abbreviation of personnel in context. You’re not wrong by any means, but it surely exhausting for everyone if you keep bringing it up.
nice presentation and production hard to produce on such a grand scale - made me proud of what used to be in celebrating - wished I was there ! old school Yank
Hours and hours of rehearsal----I love this!!!!!!! I loved our American Marines--makes me proud to be an American!!!! The whole thing was so well performed!!!!
SUNSET was played at my Father in Law's funeral! He was a proud member or HM royal Marines Commando ret, I once said he was an Ex Royal Marine to which he replies Once a Royal Marine ALWAYS a Royal Marine!
Watchined a U.S. Marine band play the Marines Hymn on St.Patrick’s in Waikiki Oahu in 2017, they were great. I was there with my Dad an Ex-Irish Guard Colour Sergeant
You forgot to mention extremely talented musically...no small achievement , considering the practice required at this level of magnificently coordinated achievement ! I loved these brilliant Tattoos while in Grad. School, first in Denmark, then Edinburgh. The Black Watch came to North Carolina, then to Washington, DC..we went, of course! Stirring!
Doesn't matter which country they are from they do it with elan, class and the highest of standards of musicianship and drill! After all they are all marines!
No matter who it is on parade at horse guards, the Brits always turn out in immaculate order and present the finest military mass bands on the planet , the Royals will be flying the flag this year deployed on the Queen Elizabeth as the joint UK/USN and Dutch strike group deploys on its maiden overseas deployment to the pacific region and South China sea where no doubts the band will be performing ceremonial duties during its port of calls and entertaining the dignitaries when they come on board for Gin and tonics !
Nothing to beat the British, sometimes I wish they were ruling the world, there is beat the retreat ceremony in India also, left by the British, beautiful.
@@paolocabling He's probably seconded or attached to a Royal Marines Commando Unit. He may well have completed a Commando course, and is serving with a Royal Marines Commando unit, but he has not joined the Royal Marines. Not all Commandos are Royal Marines.
The reason there is a Scottish Officer with the Royal Marines is because of the following historical Affiliation. Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Early connections date from Balaclava in the Crimean War and Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny, but the main association stems from World War 2. In July 1940, after the fall of Dunkirk, the 5th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders served with the Royal Marine Brigade for over a year. When HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse were sunk in December 1941, the Royal Marines survivors joined up with the remnants of the 2nd Battalion, in the defence of Singapore. They formed what became known as 'The Plymouth Argylls', after the association football team, since both ships were Plymouth manned. Most of the Highlanders and Marines who survived the bitter fighting were taken prisoner by the Japanese. The Royal Marines inter-unit rugby football trophy is the 'Argyll Bowl', presented to the Corps by the Regiment in 1941. A message of greetings is sent to the Regiment each year on their Regimental Day, 25 October, the anniversary of the Battle of Balaclava in 1854.
The beat, the Discipline, and the Esprit De Corps are the same no matter the Vast Ocean between us! Semper Fidelis Marines! We will always be the center of attention wether east or west and be the best of the best!
I would have found it amusing to see the Presidents Own Washington DC band at this Beating of Retreat in the only ceremonial tunic for the USMC in red.
That made an old soldier feel very proud. I take it that, as it was the Queen's Colour that was actually taken on parade, that the segment at the start showing the Regimental Colour being prepared to take its place of honour on the parade, that that occurred during the dress rehearsal.
Imagine being one of those young Dutch or American servicemen, would they ever dream of performing in front of HM Queen Elizabeth II when they joined their countries' service.
Regardless of how these traditions came about, we must not let them die. No country in the world has traditions like we have and going back so many hundreds of years.
@@questiondoneit2717 Nice. Just a thought old boy but the country is called Northern Ireland. If you are going to indulge in this sort of thing at least get the name right. Ta.
The US Marines were entertaining but I couldn’t see the Royal Marines doing such obvious solos and swaying in time to the music. I couldn’t see the pipe bands doing that either. I admit to not understanding all the figures that they formed either. Still well done guys. Also well done to the Royal Netherlands Marines. From Sydney, Australia. A beautiful show overall. I love the massed bands. What a wonderful way to pass the time!
When I was a kid we lived in Inglis Barracks NW7 and my Dad took us to a one off event at the old Wembley Stadium. It was a collection of all the TA Bands a lot of which no longer exist and a lot have been amalgamated into other regiments
@@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401 I marched to the Band of the Royal Marines in Liverpool as a proud member of the Sea Cadet Corps. I was about 14 and as you can see it left an imprint from head to toe. It's still with me at 89. And I'm ready to go. Age can't erase wonderful memories.
I know that this was 3years ago but I only just found it!! I am South African born when SA was still a Union and our national anthem was God save the Queen 😊We sang that in school assembly every Friday - I was at an only girls school - and as a little girl would walk with my dad on the 1st Saturday morning before the 11 November or the last Saturday before the 11 November where he would take the salute with his regiment - Natal Carbineers in Pietermaritzburg before the City Hall and proudly wear my poppy! My dad served in WW11 in North Africa - Egypt and El Alamein - I still have his medals which will go to my only grandson - I am now 73hrs old and still celebrate 11 November every year although it no longer happens in "good old RSA"!! Those were the good days and I still support the Monarchy and all the UK has to offer irrespective of their current problems - keep it for as long as you can - don't lose it! Take care all
Great Marines! Only wish we had some great western and democracy committed statesmen / politicians to lead them / us and the ‘free’ world! Even slightly less than average would be ok.

I've done Beat the Retreat as an infantryman. Weeks of square bashing with the RSM. Uniform perfect. The public are invited to come and watch, no pressure. Thinking about it still gives me a rush. The Marines did a fine job with their drill. The bands were as crisp and professional as I'd expect. Nobody does military ceremony like the British. It demonstrates the wealth and discipline available to the crown/nation. Flamboyantly.

Those were the good days and I still support the Monarchy and all the UK has to offer irrespective of their current problems - keep it for as long as you can - don't lose it! Take care all
Thank you very much!

Great Marines! Only wish we had some great western and democracy committed statesmen / politicians to lead them / us and the ‘free’ world! Even slightly less than average would be ok.
