[Pringles352]

all of this for the monarchy... its seems like such a dictatorship...so powerful... but something about that just makes me love it!!:) :P long live the queen

[RockerIsabel]

Almost 76 trombones. Two American marches : Gen. Mitchell & Washington Greys

I think the sight of the drum majors in front of the band looks really something special. I can't put my finger on it. No inuendos please, I know the speeling of this word is incorrect...but who cares.

[sylviekell]

That didn't look like Prince Philip to me; it looked like a military officer with the Queen.

[TehDocc]

@sylviekell He usually wears a military uniform, in this case as (I believe) a colonel of the Grenadier guards he's wearing their uniform.

[TunaEars]

@sylviekell it was prince phillip, i was there, he was wearing a military uniform, i think it might have been of the grenade guards but i could be wrong there. Princess Anne is on the horse following in uniform, charles was also riding in uniform along with the duke of kent. actually until the last few years the queen rode in full military dress in the procession. she stopped due to her horse retiring or dying i can't remember which, she still rides every weekend.

the bliss of the monarchy :)

[sylviekell]

@TunaEars I recognized Princess Anne; I think because Prince Philip was wearing the bearskin hat is the reason why I didn't recognize him.

[CThompson151]

Why is that guy marching backwards at 0:36 ? lol

[emptyangel]

@CThompson151

He's the Garrison Sergeant Major and always keeps a watchful eye over the parade.

[CThompson151]

Now THAT is what i call matching ban music!

[xpo50]

No country can match Britain in terms of pomp and circumstance, such a rich history. I truly admire the gusto with which traditions are kept alive. I only wish I could get down more often. The Motherland always calls me home, and someday I'll come running.

[MonMonsieurBleu]

@xpo50 I am white, of european descent but not english and an american. I left America and moved to the UK. Why?? A much more democratic and civilized country. God Bless the British people, the British Nation, and Her Majesty!

[MrDenizen]

@MonMonsieurBleu - your profile says your from (and live in) Monaco. Make your mind up... Plus, how would you just move to the UK from America? The last I heard, that was as impossible as someone from the UK just going to the USA and living there. It's not legal. Unless you met a certain criteria, which I'm quite sure you didn't.

God Save Our Queen!

spine tingling music from the band at the beginning,so powefull

[erikt30]
