British grenadier played there. I rly like how the fifers play here. The trills and countermelody raise the game significantly .This is astounding bcuz I'm assuming they're soldiers not professional musicians like the musikkorps. ( I'm making this assumption based on the British system, then again I might be wrong lol )
@@M4r1n_ No, it fucking wasn't, you muppet. At least do a Google search before spewing your nonsense on all of these videos. "British Grenadiers" is *unsurprisingly* a British melody. "Dixie" isn't Danish either for that matter, that one's American. So is "Sousa - The Washington Post" that you hear them playing at times for that matter. They play foreign stuff too.
A very, very Copenhagen thing, the Royal Guards marching from barracks to the royal palace Amalienborg for the daily changing of the guard at 12 o’clock.
@@andersjensen7933 At least it used to be. The trick was to have a clear LG decal on your drivers side window in case you were pulled over. Got off with a warning for speeding because of it. Long time ago though.
The song was made 2 years before the Civil War started. Both Union and Confederate composers produced war versions of the song during the American Civil War.
The song actually started out as dancing tune in the early 17th century and only later became a military marching song. Almost 50 years later, still find myself whistling it when out walking.
Well the danes and British, made the same uniform... Like 1-5 years apart! Idk who made it first, but the danes had the biggest fleet (not the best but biggest) the British had the strongest fleet! And the army it self was about same size back in 1800

@@janandersen8735 The Grenadier Guards were formed in 1656 while the Danish lifeguards were formed in 1658. Although you are right about the adoption of the bearskin caps, however the Grenadiers are older by two years.
@@nihilus1650 Not so, while the Coldstreams were formed earlier, before the Grenadiers, they did not become a designated guard regiment until after the Grenadiers became a guard regiment having to do with the british returning to monarchy in 1660 and that is the definition the Brits use themselves where the Coldstreams rank second in the order of precedence, hence their motto Nulli Secundus, second to none. So we can both be right but if referring to them as guard regiments, I win on points. If this is of interest to you in general, a couple of interesting facts about the Danes and differences with the Brits. The Danes have a separate company within the Life Guards Regiment, the guard company, whereas the Brits use personnel from their 5 guard regiments. The rifles are locked and loaded, with additional ammo in the leather bag that used to hold paper cartridges in musket times, I believe the Brits keep their ammo in the guard shack under lock and key because that worked so well at Isandhlwana. The short sword is of French origin circa 1805, taken by the Prussians at Waterloo in 1815, taken by the Danes in the first Schleswig war in 1848 (we prefer not to talk about the rematch in 1864) and incorporated into the uniform by the 1860's. The uniform worn on parade is essentially the BDU of the 1860's when the blue tunic had replaced the original red tunic, still used for special occasions. Coincidentally, at the Battle of Blenheim under the Duke of Marlborough, the mounted Danish Guard regiment, long disbanded, delivered one of the decisive cavalry charges. In the end it doesn't matter, all have a rich history with many traditions that will hopefully endure. Nice chatting with you.

thank you, magnus
British Grenadiers at 250 years and Dixie at 170 ! On fife and drum ! Excellent all !
Being half Danish and my great grandfather played cello in the king’s orchestra, I could be watching one of my distant cousins.🇩🇰🇺🇸

The wobble makes the cars look like they are going with the rythm ^^
Yeah, it's kind of a weird lens.
the numberplates show its somewhere around 2008 or before it
Seems like the video was stabilised
I think people often forget they are highly trained soldiers who are there to protect our queen. They take no nonsens from anybody.
The musicians are employed as musicians. Read it somewhere years ago.
I'll be darned if they didn't play Dixie!!!!!! YES!!!!!!
They do that frequently actually!
Dixie? They played Dixie!
They do this every day and at 12 noon they arrive to Amalienborg palace where the Queen lives where the changing of the guards begins
Oh senior sergent Merrild. What a legend
+TheDaniiboy Merrild er konge!
Han er her stadig til idag. - AUG 21
Hehe Dixie tune was fun to see in a video with The Danish Royal Guards.
They play all sorts of music. They also play Sousa - The Washington Post regularly for example, that's another one from the US of A.
And this a problem, go díxie!

Funzo201 then* Don’t correct someone if it isn’t correct
It’s nice and simple
I KNEW some Danish person would comment "thanks".
Denmark is not a place I expected to hear Dixieland
We can play everything lol

4:04 "British Grenadiers" why are they incorporating that into the danish guard
They actually made it first. It was called the grenadier march. The british stole it.
Oh. Well thanks for the fact.
Doesn't really matter. British sometimes play Prussia's glory and various other marches from varying nations.
Luis R. Yeah
Bossfighter55 ohh well i learn something everyday

Wait are they playing the British grenadier song lol

They fought the Germans ín 1940
Do they wear the same hats as the guards of the uk
Its a bearskin..
They looked better whit the M75 (G3)
Yes but it is also less functional
LiquidBlackWolf blame nato for thr shitty change to 5.56
Even better with the M/50 (Garand M1) . . .
Instead of a regular rifle that a guard normally use they use m16s
That a rifle yes.
incorrect. It is the M/95 or Colt Canada model C7A1. higly versataile, stable and modable weapon
@@scar445 oh ok, I said m16s because they look like m16s
How come there uniform looks like the British? is there any relation to them or is it just traditionally what everyone wore historically?
Reub3 the bearskin hat is from 1805 I think it was just European fashion.
Most european army uniforms from about 1800's looked about the same.
You are correct, the British Foot Guards were the last to adopt, after Waterloo in 1812.
Self correction, 1815
Well the danes and British, made the same uniform... Like 1-5 years apart! Idk who made it first, but the danes had the biggest fleet (not the best but biggest) the British had the strongest fleet! And the army it self was about same size back in 1800

mmm dixie tune?? why?
Because WTF not! ;)
it is an old marching song which actually is about 100 years older than USA
Patrick Severinsen are you sure? Isn't it from the civil war era
Armchair General he's right, the guard was founded around the mid 16 hundreds, and it's one of their oldest melodies.
It isnt mate its older than the US
Honestly "Dixie Land?" I once heard Star wars anthem in there... Leave the fighting to actual soldiers... Tho I dig the cossak hats..
More real soldier then you will ever be
Why does it matter what they play? And btw they are real soldiers
