@vickyRoyalHistoryHello my Dear Vicky!! Ahhhh, one had to escape me! Gatb! All fixed now! I did zoom into the crowd to try and spot Hazel but I was trying to see who out of the pinks she was. Your other comment with the timestamp did steer me in the right direction. Hope you and Mr MOTH are keeping well! You aren't happy with me are you?
Lovely to watch the Colonel's Review again. EXTRAORDINARY voices the Guards have!! And to be heard above the Band!! The music of horses - loved throughout my life. Thank you again Mr. Baton.
From 53:05 you can see the results of a lesser-known tradition. The Escort fixes out of place bayonet scabbards when they troop their Colour through the ranks. If you watch closely (e.g. some of the Welsh Guardsmen in No 4 Guard) everything is in good order again after the Escort has passed ;)
@@zephyr755 Before the parade starts, all Guards on parade fix bayonets. When they do this, often their bayonet scabbards get tangled up. Before the march past begins, the Escort sorts that out while parading the Colour through the ranks. If you watch closely, some Guardsmen have their bayonet scabbards not perfectly pointing downwards from their belts before the Escort reaches them, but then everything is fine when the Escort has passed them.
Fabulous camera angles Mr Baton, especially for the intracies of the spin wheel and the formation of No. 1 guard for the escort for the colour and the following formation as escort to the colour. Also great to see the actual formation line up of the Guards for the march past from this position 👍 :)
The new compositions, Earl Alexander of Tunis and The Ballyragget sound better with each hearing. A march named for Field Marshall Harold Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis, seems long in coming, considering the stature he attained in WWII and his distinguished affiliation with the Irish Guards through two world wars. He was believed to be Churchill's favourite general. The Ballyragget cleverly conveys, in my listening, the David and Goliath struggle that saw Lt. John Gorman and his 2B IG tank crew in The Ballyragget, a modest Sherman, ram and knock out a German Tiger II, the largest and heaviest operational tank of its day, before its big gun could be brought to bear on the situation- derring do during the Normandy Campaign that brought Gorman a Military Cross. Mr.Baton's vantage point for this second and final dress rehearsal for the King's Birthday Parade 2024 had an interesting visual immediacy to it that was quite enjoyable. Thanks Mr. Baton. You're a trooper!
A much better organisation of Troops and bands. Less time waiting and fainting opportunity. Always love the music when the Irish Guards are trooping their colour. Again like others have said, your position for this rehearsal was brilliant Mr B. 👏 😊
@@sarahlouisegiddings4291 Sorry won't be on Horse Guards for the Birthday Parade, I've tried to get tickets but haven't been fortunate enough to get any.
Thank you so much for making & sharing this! I enjoy it every year, although I am Dutch. Do you know if the shouting was more than other years or is it because of the rehearsel? I like the Huguenotmarch a lot and the Irish-marches with their dog in front, Seamus isn't it? And all the labour which get in to it: The people, the horses, the planning and all the practice! ❤ love from Holland
10 years ago most of the Guards btns were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq or were on pre operation training so most of the Guardsman in London tended to be just out of there initial training
@@loveshoonya388 some bits my camera moved a bit but instead of always focusing on the band, I focused on the actual troop. I actually didn’t know it was Prince William I saw but I think I did actually get a good amount of him
The Romans used Bugles & other horns long before drums were even a thing. No Roman monuments depict drums with the Roman Armies, but Tubular wind instruments are commonly shown. These have a much more distinctive, & penetrating sound than drums, & can be used to send complicated signals, to be heard over long distances. Drums only seem to appear, in western armies at least, sometime after the Crusades, & only become common in the post medieval era. They were possibly used by Turkish & other eastern forces much earlier than this, with western armies adopting them after conflict with these. The Bugle soon returned to dominate battlefield signalling, as the drum could not compete with cannon, so became relegated to a more ceremonial role, in drill, marches & parades.

Excellent footage sir. You managed to capture all 3 of the spin wheels. Not even the BBC manages that. Great work. Faugh-a-Ballagh.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.
I was there. It was a lovely event, captured perfectly. I will watch it often to keep the memory alive.
Thank you.
Superb vantage point, superb filming, superb parade! Many many thanks!
You are very welcome.

Thank you very much for this, excellent video and great without commentary
You're very welcome.
As a 3 pipper of the now defunct Transvaal Scottish with battle honors going back to WW1 through to our border war, I enjoy the pomp and ceremony
Thank you so much for making & sharing this! I enjoy it every year, although I am Dutch.

@vickyRoyalHistory Thank you for the information, Vicky. 👍
Mr B you are simply the best
Appreciate the comment, thank you.
I just hope The Colonel will feel strong enough to be present next week
An excellent presentation shot from really interesting angles.
Well done Mr Baton, great video 🙏
Thank you.
amazing!!! god save the king and his troups!!!!
Forgot this. My adored playing Troopers. Incredible, really.
Mr Baton, you're a star. Thank you.
THX 👍👍👍👏
great video,i was in block a,just down from you,ex welsh guard
Thank you.
Impressive …as non military person marching seems big difference from a decade or so ago …guess they now have more time to practice.
10 years ago most of the Guards btns were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq or were on pre operation training so most of the Guardsman in London tended to be just out of there initial training
My playing Troopers take my breath away.
Irish Guards simply the best
I was there for it too! I’m going to cover my video soon
I hope you are going to show more of Prince William, and your camera isn’t waltzing much 💕
@@loveshoonya388 some bits my camera moved a bit but instead of always focusing on the band, I focused on the actual troop. I actually didn’t know it was Prince William I saw but I think I did actually get a good amount of him
@@LordVictoria5 It wasn't Prince William.
It was Lieutenant General Sir James Bucknall.
@@loveshoonya388 Prince William was not there.
@@MrBaton74 ohhh, I did see Bucknall but my family thought that William was there so I just went in with it. Thank you though
Who remembers Nairac GC from the 1991 trooping?
OC at 1:13 looks a little all over the place

Were you on top of the Citadel?
Not quite, I was at the top of the stand in front of it.
The phase where the RSM receives the color needs some fine tuning so they could look like parades from decades ago.

Amazing how the royals always end up having more medals than actual serving soldiers 😂
