    This was filmed back in June when the RAF usually do a stint of Guard change so the Guards can rehearse for Trooping the Colour. This is the RAF Central Band, under Drum-Major Scott. The band and that of the RAF Regiment, are currently in Edinburgh performing at the Edinburgh Tattoo.

      Donna, I'm a vet with 20 years service in the Canadian army, infantry. The title is a bit over the top. The makers of this video have seen the same thing many times over. The only difference here is the uniforms. Now, if the video was about the King's Colour Squadron of the RAF Regiment (same unit, different sub-unit) then the title would be apt.

    Spending money (apparently no lack thereof) on some ammunition, reliable weapons and some aircraft might be of more value?

    The Army who will win the next war, is the army with the least number of women in it ...
    Do you know how long it takes to 'do' the perfect "Hair Bun"??

      I am female, have had long hair, haven't been in the military. Brushing your hair and winding it into a bun takes seconds. Women are good at this. Not a problem.

      British tradition, something many know nothing about, yet put their hand out forwhatever is going-and walk past eyes on their mobile phone-fortunate to be able to live in the UK.
