Buckingham Palace Guard's hat tip to Star Trek!

[TheLassiable]

Look my vids



[mabiniss2]

If we make peaceful relations with an alien civilisation, is Patrick Stewart gonna be our ambassador while wearing his TNG costume?

[mabiniss2]

The Queen is a trekkie? XD

[doublebasskoenig]

Fucking great. XD Awesome! :-O

And - i really think, at least the sound quality isn't that bad. I don't really care about the picture quality, as there is not much changing so not much who really have to see. Most important is the sound quality which is good enaugh.

[AlphaMobileUK]

You haven't seen anything if you missed GOGO's flick at Buckingham Palace. The funniest man in a turtle suit you will ever see. Check out my channel for more green turtle madness.

And remember, what has been seen can not be unseen :))

[Cheopatius]

\\// / to the queen. :O

[scoobyrds]

This is epicness!! May the Queen live long and prosper! ^^

[DarwinPHX]

I'm glad to see the quality on the video was pretty good. I hate it when people turn their cameras around to get themselves in the shot, or when they're talking over the performance. There are so many bad videos of the Guards' performances. So thank you for a good job.

[17thSHIT]

They need to play the Psycho theme.

[MomoGurman]

The Palace Guard was forced to play for a Saudi ruler known for ignoring human rights. The song they played was Darth Vader's Imperial Death March. The ruler loved it.

[photodharma]

nailed it!

[Moniker180]

"Blah, blah, blah. Hahahaha. I'm an idiot, blah blah blah, hahaha. Lol."

[kbhatt1]

@World0fWhorecraft Take your own advice dude...Trekkies get laid far more regularly than trolls do! :)

[nixande]

tip for next time: use the sign for a more steady recording. and thanks for bringing this. ;)

[kbhatt1]

Actually, I think you'll find that the themes go as follows (with timings a bit loose):

0:00-1:10 Star Trek: The Original Series Theme

1:19-1:45 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 9 Theme

1:45-2:34 Star Trek Generations Overture

3:07-3:40 Star Trek Voyager Theme

3:47-4:30 Star Trek The Next Generation Theme

4:30-end Star Trek TOS reprise

[willtoulan]

@kbhatt1 whoa

[kbhatt1]

@willtoulan Haha, thanks very much :D

[TheWMDhacker]

I think this was when Patrick Stewart (Picard in the next generation) was knighted by the queen in buckignham palace.

[jediritta]

live long and prosper :)

[tomiengland]

[EddieTheFishReturns]

[Someloke8895]

No doubt the guards have their weapons set to stun!

[EBDREAD1]

queenie must be a fan!

[Vindog76]

I can't find any reason not to like this.

[scorpin969]

That's hilarious!

[desouzawendell]

your annoying me with the stupid video...

[jacksawild]

Was the Royal Standard flying? Perhaps Her Maj likes Star Trek.

[TheTokenBrit1986]

wow even the Generations theme!

[jewfishie2]

@TheTokenBrit1986 generations is the only star trek



[Gigolo8]

This is wonderful, thanks for posting!

Great fun!

Thumbs up!

[accountnumber90]

awesome! I wonder if they've ever played Journey.

[degenererad]

ok you guys are awesome.

[seanseth]

Bastard guy should not laugh, shut up! The band is awesome, the video is a crap!

[fotontatu]

dallas next please :d

[coloradogamer]

DS9!!!

[cooliosius]

Royal humor :D

[RundFyrkant]

Brilliant arrangement of the themes.. Thanks for sharing!

[rangerk8e]

Fantastic! I got married to one of those pieces, so it was VERY familiar!

[Roseburg93]

It's not just that they're playing Star Trek themes. It's that they're playing them beautifully, especially the first one.

[cdeflon]

Mad amount of awesomeness!!

[cheile47]

what Roseburg93 said. put Star Trek in your tags....that will get this more views.

this is AWESOME!! have favorited it and gonna share on twitter.

[Roseburg93]

I think you need to get Star Trek into your tags or title. Then this could get millions of hits. Seriously.

[BrommaHerman]

They and Welch Guards play Imperial March at times too :)

[mattzse]

Thanks for beeing awesome, Buckingham Palace Guard! Whoever chose this approach should be awarded or something..

[arvidedor]

goosebumps

[Thereisnosp00000n]

I've always regarded the Brits as dry and stiff upper lipped. This changed my opinion.

Good stuff! Live long and prosper!

[klinzha]

fantastic!

[Blythespirituk]

That was brilliant! Maybe the queens a closet Trekie.

[Anaithis62]

Hehehe.. wie cool ist das denn!!! Thanks for posting and LLAP!

[VictorHugoBrazil]

That´s the most amazing thing i saw this week!

Love to hear the theme of the movie "Generations" in the middle. Clap Clap Clap!

[NineCatsz]

I love Star Trek....in all forms.

[GNeuman]

Very touching........Trek is back!

[PrfMoriarty]

Oh man, this TOTALLY makes my day. Pure awesomeness!

[Theoneandonlykop]

I think the theme song from Star Trek Generations is in there somewhere also

[danniele72]

GREAT!!!!

[cteran70]

It's so awesome! :D May the Queen live long and prosper. :)

[klaykid117]

@cteran70 she already has

[SaberTanker22]

i hope to visit london some time.

[sprinklerdr]

AWESOME!!

[Buckeyes202]

this is so nerdy

[mithol]

This is too fucking awesome for words!

OK, I think I've posted enough for one minute...

[mithol]

Apparently the Inner Light is jumbled up somewhere in here too, but I can't distinguish it.

[mithol]

Lol. You're a software developer and a Star Trek fan? I salute you, man. XD

[AudridPfister]

A correction to the Info section, there are actually four.

They Open with the Original Series, go to Deep Space Nine, the to Voyager, and end with the Next Generation.

[kunoichi24]

HELL YEAH STAR TREK!!

[DickSkidmore]

They sound really good!

[xadam2dudex]

I'd think they would be playing the theme from Dr. Who instead of Star Trek

[mithol]

Well, they do play all the time. They've probably already done Dr Who. When I was there in 2007 they played a whole lot of other recognisable popular music.

[DoctorPretorious616]

That was great, hearing the Band of the Coldstreams perform the theme from Original Star Trek, Next Generation/The Motion Picture, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and even Generations! Makes me want to book a flight to London!

[FullCircle360D]

Liked the first theme, the second theme started correctly but then it started to sound nothing like the theme. It's funny some of the songs they play, would love to go down there and listen sometime. Thanks for uploading the vid.

[thatsodiesel]

wow they sound great tho ;)

[SteveSeabee]

Back in 1994 when I had the opportunity to visit the Changing of the Guard the band played the Ghostbusters Theme

[Crapulency]

bravo

[Tallacus]

England FTW!

[FreddyBeeProductions]

Amazing !!! I´m Speechless ! Thank´s for sharing this video.

[DerEnno78]

Fascinating

\\//_

[MalReynolds02]

Believe it or not but i get the Shivers from that, i mean that Positively. This guys are GREAT ;o)

[Vulpecula]

very cool

[opcsi]

Star Trek RULES! :D LLaP (live long and prosper)

[NaomiPhoenix]

Breathtaking. They played beautifully. Thanks for sharing

[ehumphri]

someone gag the hyena

[emptyangel]

Gotta love the Band of the Coldstream Guards.

[rparl]

TOS, NG, DS9, V, any others?

[njdss4]

Instant favorite! What a great job done by the Buckingham Palace Guards! I don't use twitter much, but this is worthy of its own tweet.

[dondonp12004]

That was awesome! Thanks for uploading the Buckingham Palace tribute to the CBS-owned 'Star Trek' franchise on your visit from Germany to the United Kingdom. Live long and prosper! Lebhaftlange und erweitern sich! Greetings from the United States of America!

[Qkey27]

I love this, very cool!

[sswarowsky]

The guy laughing is annoying

[MrStartrek5]

@sswarowsky really everyone should know that

[desposyy]

@sswarowsky your annoying

[AdmiralW238]

@sswarowsky As a Trek fan I would be laughing as well ....

[ckrun]

@AdmiralW238

Yes but not like "beavis and butthead", more like sound an prosper ;0)

[ckrun]

@AdmiralW238

Yes but not like "beavis and butthead", more like "sound an prosper" ;0)

[TokRa1224]

Actually, we hear music from Star Trek 7: Generations too :P

[an1sh]

You laugh like Beavis and Butthead

[bcgrote]

Nice medley! Considering the best source for science fiction shows in America is BBC America, I'm not surprised! Just wanted Red Dwarf and Dr Who themes as well! What fun!

[obigalish]

sure if your into low budget cinema.

[yourt00bsux]

thank you

[aeckvon]

For non-trekkers, themes in order of appearance

Star Trek The Original Series

Star Trek Deep Space 9

Star Trek Voyager

Star Trek The Next Generation

[AdmSam]

@aeckvon

Actually you've forgotten to mention the Star Trek: Generations theme between the DS9 and Voyager theme

[dondonp12004]

@aeckvon The theme music to Next Gen is a rework of the theme from 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture'.

[TheWMDhacker]

@aeckvon actually it is: The original series, Deep space 9, ending theme from enterprise, voyager, next generation.

[simplystreeptacular]

@TheWMDhacker Nope, it's the Generations theme. I know Archer's Theme by heart, and that's not it. They do sound similar, though.
