Thank you for your kind comments. And I think I was in Treviso 25 years ago! If I remember correctly, it was beautiful.

Thank you for the video and next year I may do the same thing for my 30th birthday if my mom allow me.

Thank you for telling us the titles of the marches. Being a brass player yourself, you'd know!

Incidentally, when the old guard leaves you see two soldiers trotting from the back of the column to the front, either side of the officer. This is traditional and can be seen at changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace too. Sergeant-Major shouts "Mount the escort!" and the soldiers run forward to 'protect' the officer, or colour (regimental flag) if present. Comes from the days when the colour was the rallying point in battle. So they aren't just late!

Band of the Blues & Royals (one of the Household Division cavalry regiments) accompanying the new guard into Windsor castle (not sure of the Regiment or Corps forming the guard) and then the old guard back to barracks (only a short march down the road so you can walk all the way with them!). Again not sure of the regiment forming the old guard. Windsor is lovely but it makes me laugh when people call it a 'village'! Many years ago maybe. ;-)
