I watched glued most Sunday mornings to the band at their Chatham Parade Ground. I know why I play their music regularly whilst writing. Now aged 77, I've just discovered my RM Sergeant PTI Grand father was one of The Live Bait Squadron. This will be the BEST screenplay I've ever written. It's been there all along for decades. It'sll be dedicated to the finest infantry men anywhere. Thank You.
Regardless of politics, we should all be proud of those willing to put themself before ourselves in a voluntary defence / armed force. God bless you all, and for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, Rest In Eternal Peace. Thank you one and all.
I passed out from Depot Royal Marines in Deal 1971/72 .I beleive we were the first troop to march behind the band for such an occasion.The Royal Marines and The Band have allways been in my Heart and soul .MEMORIES
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them 40
this always brings a lump to my throat as I remember our boys who fought and died for our country and are still lying somewhere in planes ships,tanks etc,thankyou for giving us our tomorrows for your todays.We will remember
Always reminds me of HMY Britannia and the many, many people who were awed by the beauty and dignity of the simple ceremony of Beat Retreat during her years in service. Vivat Regina Elizabetha!
One of these chaps played at my fathers funeral in 2008, this very tune, didnt want the last post but now sunset has a very special meaning for me thanks for posting it. the best military band bar none.

I agree the Royal Marines are the Best. Englands finest,
we don't have much left in this country anymore to be proud of
but we still have The Royal Marines.

they dont overpower the band, the band plays quietly, and its not a brass band, as there are woodwind. :/
