6:39 

[bansepify]

This site is where the Olympic beach volleyball is being held!

[Janbees]

6:12 Ahaha, poor bloke looks like his bearskin slipped down his head to meet his chinstrap :P

[alienkishorekumar]

Salutes from India..God Save The Queen

[FinestHardstyle1]

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

[xXBritanniaXx]

I used to troop the colour... But then I took an arrow in the knee

[Janbees]

@xXBritanniaXx Go fuck yourself.

[flackz16]

Rule Britannia! Australia will always be British, despite what our republican prime minister thinks!

[SonNative]

@flackz16,

Republican Prime Minister? Lol.

Conservatives are the change you got after you were tired of the New Labour. You can't be tired of them after only a year. Can you?

[chrispy199]

May the United Kingdom and Canada share peace pride, and respect to two great and similar nations under the royal family!

[Myles0Harcourt]

God save the Queen.

[codspecialist14]

six people want to be shat on

[bisquits1000]

And try and keep a straight face

[bisquits1000]

The funnyest thing to do is put an alarmclock in your mates bearskin and watch all the other guardsmen laugh at him :)

[gt123456]

God Save the Queen.

[Fenixx117]

The music at 6:09 is called "The Sergeant Major" i'm pretty sure

[ImActuallyBatman]

Why is number 4 Guard being led by an Irish Guards officer if the No.4 Guard is made up of Grenadiers?

[DisturbedMENTAL]

It's amazing they only had 4 weeks to practice and perfect this.

[ronsiris]

stunning,absolutely ,dont you just wish you could be in those ranks

[adamant356]

I put my hand on my heart, and then an advert pops up...

[ImActuallyBatman]

@adamant356 Don't put your hand on your heart thats an American thing!

[MrSapperb3]

@ImActuallyBatman true

[33bigmoney]

@adamant356

loool

[SuperTruth77]

My Great-Grandfather was shot for Cowardice back in WW1, & my idiot brother has taken up his ‘cause’ in a nauseating, offensive manner.

He attends every military parade he can wearing a fake army uniform & a ‘medal’ the size of a dinner-plate on his chest. This is engraved with the phrase “Murdered by his fellow British soldiers- DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!”.

What he hopes to achieve by this ‘protest’ is beyond us. He always upsets people & has been beaten up by squaddies on several occasions.

[darkthorn13]

@SuperTruth77 That makes me sick on so many levels

[rentaluk]

heheheh we had only bin bk from afghan 2months wen we did this

[vik238]

Rule Britannia! United Kingdom and Canada together forward.

[Agorsan]

@vik238 its really called great britain :)

[bambuzledo]

@vik238 Until 1982 when Canada became its own nation :(

[OfficialRJLextro]

@bambuzledo No, the Queen is still the Head of State in Canada and a member of the CommonWealth,

[bambuzledo]

@OfficialRJLextro Sort of. See she is still our Queen but she has no power because we have a Governor General(GG). This person represents the Crown. But this person is a Canadian and even then they are not head of state. It like the Americans say "we dont even know who is in power there" its true too eh. Because the GG has the power to over rule a bill but cannot make one. The Prime minister has the power to suggest bills but not pass them. And the Parliament can suggest bills or say no to them.

[topmarkms]

@OfficialRJLextro Shes not a member of the commonwealth, shes the head of the commonwealth.

[OfficialRJLextro]

@topmarkms Queen Elizabeth II is Head of the Commonwealth, and when i said "a member of the Commonwealth" I meant Canada is a member. I should have phrased it better.

[Yodasstuff]

I have to hand it to the Brits - you have a lot of class! Wish we had these kinds of traditions in the US.

[TheJaaysog]

@Yodasstuff thank you, always nice to see some pleasant americans, god bless america

[XHourX]

@Yodasstuff We invented class :)

[IRememberTheOldDays]

@XHourX or at least the class system

[DuskAstartes]

@Yodasstuff Next time dont throw us out and we will teach you how to march and fight with class :)

[TallmanMike]

@Yodasstuff You're probably better off than us Brits. We have traditions, sure, but our traditions come with thousands of years of history and bloody warfare behind them.

[TheLahness]

@TallmanMike I'm proud of our history of warfare, I'm proud of the British Empire. 

[asparadog]

@TheLahness we were too bloody kind

[brassspitoon]

@Yodasstuff Agree 100 percent with your first sentence, but not your second. We are a republic. This pomp and ceremony is appropriate for royal or imperial circumstances. It is not appropriate for us, where our ceremony should reflect our simpler traditions and (small "r") republican values.

[buddeelov]

Damn impressed. Wish we had something like this in the US.

[esteban94500]

ridiculous

[Billyothon]

Superb.

[Bannon18300]

Excellent filming, well done!

[Jasoncurate]

Awesome...where can i go to watch the entire thing uncut?

[MrSapperb3]

How can 4 people dislike Trooping the Colour? :(

[tankie2ndrtr]

@MrSapperb3 Prolly 4 of the duke box troop haha playing for that long must be a lick out!

[BenTheNo1]

nice to see this was watched in german, i think fro the text in the lower left

[keirfree]

@BenTheNo1 I do not think the Germans have Kings anymore ! perchance Norwegian or Denmark ?

[JJJessieJames]

The united kingdom (My home) Has the best looking marches. XD

[MrSapperb3]

@JJJessieJames God save the queen

[19EHF]

Always count on the Brits for Pomp and Circumstance. Amazing

[HunterBoyz5]

best army by far they beat the north koreans

[cosmictimes]

@HunterBoyz5 yip and yankland has just picked up from where the Brits left off

[53GLENMAZ]

The BEST off the BEST

[CreamStylezZ]

the parents of this soldiers must be very proud :). greetz from germany

[777EDDS]

Do you know the name of the march at 8:46?

And great video. Thank you for that!

[777EDDS]

@777EDDS Ok, forget it. I just read the description! ^^

[futch2121]

@777EDDS Hi. The march at 8:46 is Hielan laddie (highland lad) & it is the quick march of the Scots Guards.

[sirderam1]

@777EDDS Heiland Laddie. The quick march of the Scots Guards.

[TheCrump3t]

This country will reclaim its dignity soon and the people will speak out, The sleeping lion will once again roar with pride !! Rule Britannia

[thefitzthewitz]

@TheCrump3t I would love to see Great Britain leave the corrupted organization known as the EU, and instead build stronger relations with commonwealth countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand etc. Rule Britannia! God save the Queen! =)

[1990Englishgal]

My cousin actually took part in 'Trooping the Colour' last weekend, and just last year he was fighting alongside our American allies in Afghanistan.

[jdecdouglas]

Makes me so proud to be a British Object! We Aussies are proud to be part of the Empire! JD Melbourne, VICTORIA, AUSTRAL:IA

[tommydoing]

the U.S army best in the world, ha ha , lol lol

[theathiestalaby]

@tommydoing when they have their technological toys, in terms of training though, their shit.

[theathiestalaby]

@jdecdouglas you said it mate! support from WA :D

[b7673009a]

@jancro70 NO THE US ARMY IS THE BEST ARMY IN THE WORLD

[HarryM91]

@b7673009a he wishes

[theathiestalaby]

@b7673009a only when they have their gadgets :P

[FergusMcDopey]

God bless HMQ and the Brave Men & Women of the British Armed Forces!!!

[norbertakadanorb]

youve got to love the empire!

[xlegiofalco]

would it be terrific to see one of the soldiers run off the formation because they couldn't hold going to the bathroom (WC) any longer?

[yumyum078]

Smart as! Love it! Pro patria!!

[EveGallente]

Many respect to our british allies from Denmark.

Allies forever!

[keirfree]

@KeepEuropeWhite If you have a DVD copy of that, I would be grateful

[keirfree]

@KeepEuropeWhite So was Larry Grayson ! your point being ??

[jgrisso07]

Hope you don't mind an American saying this, but, God save the Queen!

[EveGallente]

@jgrisso07 Haha, if anyone would mind it would be pure racism :P

[jgrisso07]

@EveGallente ;-) Xenophobia, actually.



[EveGallente]

@jgrisso07 I guess ^^.

[TheTomjay911]

@jgrisso07 all part of the british empire ;)

[bruce2712]

God Save The Queen!

[tangodrink]

CANT WAIT TO WACH THIS ON SATURDAY 11 JUNE 2011!!!

[L999WAG]

Although the american drill team's throwing of rifles and things is awfully impessive, nothing beats the Guards immaculate drill and turn out.

[tangodrink]

Love the song at 4:00

[whatsocc55]

there are five regiments of foot guards grenerdier ,coldstream ,scots ,irish and welsh ,each have their own colour with individual battle honours dating back to the16th century that of the grenadiers the other regiments were formed as the british empire expanded the latter being the welsh guards formed in 1915. The reason why the guards have modern assault rifles is because they are our front line soldiers .They are professional soldiers who all have served in afghanistan.

[tangodrink]

At least this vid has no commentary from the commentary team their rubbish

[Lardawan]

I am not in anyway mocking... This is a wonderful and charming tradition, but I just find it slightly amusing; those traditional uniforms combined with modern assault rifles...

[thehulk3010]

whats with the funny hats??

[TheCGIMaster]

QUICK MARCH!

[steviefin]

will not be long till im sitting with lizzie watching my son.roll on june

[tangodrink]

THEIR FURRY HATS LOOK COOL WITH THE UNIFORM!!!

[bootsandsaddles]

The Germans and English are more than friends, Angles and Saxons, our kin. :)

Long live the Queen.

[JamesCunnyy]

@bootsandsaddles we aren't German if thats what your suggesting most English come from other parts of the British isles since them old old wars my own City bears little resemblance to them invasions now it is made up of Irish, Scottish, Welsh descendants most of england was unchanged and the parts that where have been saturated with their Celtic brothers over the years that little raid only caused slight change to thousands of years of indigenous DNA

[JamesCunnyy]

@bootsandsaddles Friends i would define as the relationship we had before the turn of the 20th century with the Germans good mates now we have grown weary and do not trust any Europeans and we do not class ourselves as European as we are an island people unique i suppose that weariness is just typical British we are reserved and it takes time for us to trust and get to know anyone especially after events that occurred we don't forget easily after all we fought the French for a thousand years

[Braveheart1984]

The Yanks would love to have something like this in their country. Makes you proud to see just how good our army is at ceremonial. Their drill is spot on!

[cassiefull]

I hate people saying rude things about my country they don't know what it is to be British and if they did they would be so proud to be british

[Jimmc209]

God save our queen..

[tangodrink]

the song at 4:00 is called the guards slow march

[tangodrink]

ITS SO GREAT TO BE A BLOODY BRIT!!!

[bandsandgroupsdotcom]

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO, AND A FANTASTIC PIECE OF MUSIC,

Marching Band Crown Flutes @ millerwicks.co.uk

[tangodrink]

[thefeuds]

[ozmusic657]

[kawai615]

I love British very much!

[jordanmoran94]

Best Country in the Whole Freakin' World award goes to...

BRITAIN!

[tebbs94]

Noone does it like the Brits!

[TheFatAmericans1]

i was born in the wrong century

[Arostyle380]

@TheFatAmericans1 Loving the name mate, (;.

[TheAverageFox]

This makes me very proud.

[QYD1000]

why is a german broadcaster showing this live? it can't be that importante for germany?

[fing3rbang]

@QYD1000 If we were at war with them, probably..but otherwise no; it's a tradition that the whole world enjoys..

[80AlexShaw08]

@QYD1000 The world shares this event. he tradition of Britain is admired by many countries around the world. Our sense of tradition that we continue is admired and respected world wide.

[80AlexShaw08]

@QYD1000 The world shares this event. he tradition of Britain is admired by many countries around the world. Our sense of tradition that we continue is admired and respected world wide.

[tebbs94]

@QYD1000 The queen is of German descent, so i'm guessing maybe that why

[TomHartill]

@QYD1000 - Germany used to have these kind of traditions all the time, but after the second world war they were mostly discarded. Nowadays there are a LOT of Germans who would like nothing more than to have their old army traditions back. So a lot of Germans like to watch millitary parades, besides the trooping of the colour is the most complex millitary display of this size, there are only a few countries which could pull this off.

[parkesey1701]

officers at the front clearly dont get taught drill at sandhurst, arms shoulder high sirs!

[higuma75]

First time I was in the UK, was like 30 or so years ago. Last year I was there again (actually in country, been passing through via Heathrow a few dozen times), and I was shocked. What happened to your country Brits? How did it come to this? On my way to Paddington Station back to Heathrow I felt like crossing Istanbul, but not great old London.

We're all fucked.

[kingcdh123]

@higuma75 The EU happened....

[kingcdh123]

@higuma75 The EU happened...

[80AlexShaw08]

@kingcdh123 Agreed, and the worsed thing to happen to this country too...

[england1413]

@higuma75 why do you think we have the highest number of expatriates in the world?

[Nosteratees]

@england1413 Because it's cold and wet here?

[transonicbuoy1]

Thanks 1stMarDiv. Kier must be right - but he thinks too small. The Thin Red Line, as he states, was something else. But it mushroomed from that and became a phrase encompassing the British Thin Red Line - caught the public imagination, became the stuff of legend, and became not traceable to any particular unit. Troops in red tunics, of all units, spread globally, creating a bulwark - behind which existed the Rule of Law. Thin Red Line like the car, not Daimler. Mac, not the Macintosh. TRL!

[england1413]

I can only imagine the pride you must feel putting on a redcoat and a bearskin my heart, lungs, mind and eyes would probably simultaneously explode.

[tangodrink]

The Queen is so lucky to have her guards and people so dedicated to her.

[tangodrink]

Compared to the German and Moscow parades 1,000,000,00 OUT OF 10 LOL

[Jim2488]

Hard to beat the Foot Guards at Drill....

[tangodrink]

OMG WE BRITANS HAVE THE BEST MARCHERS EVER

[transonicbuoy1]

All other nations look like boy scouts when compared to this. Even here in Japan, the famous thin red line trooper icon is used on countless department store/shop/civic building automatic doors. When I was in the States in 1999, a big auto firm had their car and these troops one immense ad hoardings: "Quality and Strength." Quite.

[keirfree]

@transonicbuoy1 The thin Red line was not made from Troopers, but made up from Men of the Scottish Regt

who faced Massive Odds against the Russian Army !, but still held their Line against charging Cavalry Horses

[1stMarDiv75]

What makes the UK stand out is the Monarchy. It is constant and a steady presence. Unlike here in the states where our government changes every couple of years. We have nothing but fighting, whereas no matter if liberal or conservative, all stand by their Queen. One can easily see how a small country like England was able to rule such a large part of the world. God Save the Queen.

[england1413]

@1stMarDiv75 you have it spot on. The fact is that we have already tried a republic (Oliver Cromwell - Lord Protector) but really didnt fancy it at all. The way we have it is that the monarchy is a stand alone blood line that stretches back a thousand years - some might say even longer dependant on pseudo history etc politicians are therefore separated from this by a huge margin and we seem happy to employ politicians for our freedoms and the monarchy is our historical and endless figurehead. 

[england1413]

@1stMarDiv75 it is also because of this royal tradition that I know my grandfather experienced and that I know my grandchildren will experience that binds us together.

[keirfree]

@1stMarDiv75 Your Confused it was not England that ruled, but a nation made up from Scots Welsh, Irish, and English ! that nation United Kingdom

[1stMarDiv75]

@keirfree Talk about splitting hairs.

[keirfree]

@1stMarDiv75 There is No hair splitting,  just a Simple fact ! that for some reason Americans cannot get their head around, England only makes up 1/4 of the UK and even less when you allow for the other parts ie Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and in the days of the Empire, also Eire , this clip does in fact show a English Guards Parade how ever the Grenadiers are only 1/5 th of the total, of British Guards drawn from across the UK.

[1stMarDiv75]

@keirfree I knew that even by trying to pay a compliment some moron would take it off in another direction. 

[keirfree]

@1stMarDiv75 +Take my advise, If you do not Know what your talking about !

Silence is the better part of Valour

or as would be said in New Jersey STFU

[1stMarDiv75]

@keirfree Or as is said in Chicago, GFY!

[keirfree]

@1stMarDiv75 Yup I suggest you take your own suggestions and Go Fuck yourself !

PS Do they have indoor toilets in Chicago ? or like you an obvious Shithouse ?

[horselips]

It's time Her Majesty ordered these fine soldiers into action against Britain's Islamic invaders. If only so King Richard the Lionheart can stop spinning inhis grave and get a decent night's rest.

[1stMarDiv75]

This former American Marine has nothing but admiration for the English and their Queen. They are a truly first class military and she is truly a lady and a fine figurehead. Nothing like the pieces of crap we have here in the states. God Save The Queen!

[ronsiris]

@1stMarDiv75 well said sir,may we forever fight side by side.

[1stMarDiv75]

@ronsiris Thank you for your kind compliment.

[headbangers67]

@1stMarDiv75 well said, dont listen to morons talking shit !

[1stMarDiv75]

@headbangers67 Thank you very much. As an American I have always admired the people in Britain. I served with 41 Commando of the RM in the 70's.From the way the stood against the Zulu's at Rorke's Drift (the Welsh), Highland units going into battle to the tunes of the pipes, the way the held at Torbruk and stood against immense odds at Arhnem and the Injim River in Korea, and the way they took back the Falklands. Maybe I was an Englishman in another life? God Save the Queen.

[headbangers67]

@1stMarDiv75 Thats pretty kool, are you a vetran of vietnam aswel ?, im from the south of Wales, And yes there is alot of tradition in the British army as you already seem to be well aware of. Maybe you are off English ancestory ? I would love to sing up when i turn 18, think i better start running !

[1stMarDiv75]

@headbangers67 I served at the end of the Vietnam War but did not serve in country. I wish I were 18 again. Good Luck mate.

[maximhard1950]

Great Army and great Nation

[SHM1953]

Redcoats...

They still march in nice straight lines like they

did at Concord and Lexington.

[Nathanderweise8]

This really is what the British are best at!

[honeyflash1]

Does how big their hat is determine their rank or something? I've noticed that some of their hats...on some guys covers their eyes yet on some, doesn't.

[Grymbaldknight]

@honeyflash1

No, it doesn't, it's just not a very good hat-sizing system lol.

Divisions and rank can be determined by their uniforms and their equipment. For example, the sergeants have swords (usually) and three gold rank hatchings on their sleeves. Prince Phillip wears the uniform of a high-ranking officer, which can be seen by the large amount of decorative tassels etc.

Probably far more info than you wanted, but hey =P

[rtgconde]

What is it that they are shouting when passing the Queen?

[drunkest100]

@rtgconde Eyes right

[pan1pan1]

echos of a time, not so very long ago, that this was the most fearsome military in the world.

[kanjiguy106]

Is it just me, or does it look like some of the rows of soldiers close to the end look a bit off?

[PaulMageeColne]

also there are real bear skins used however the new ones in circulation are not real

[PaulMageeColne]

@AMMToxic however they fail as they are not actually active soldiers. these guys do 6 month rotations between drill and actual combat. --------- wrong new draft straight out of training do the guards on windsor , buck, jimmys, and the tower, the spend around 6 months in a incremental company's before heading to there Battalion, each year a regiment is chosen to do the troop, this year it is the Scots Guards, the majority of the guards time is spent on operations or training for them

[AMMToxic]

@PaulMageeColne

quite but that still proves my point as i was responding to the person who posted about the vatican guard who do not rotate.

[Tentors]

id like to see the actual rehersals well before the day of the parade showing the drill sergeant ripping apart his lower ranks .hes thinking to himself how many times do i have to do this to himself im sure ..

[ToxinDirtCheapRnR]

Great video! This is so amazing to watch!!!

[HRHStewartIIRegina]

what is the tune called begining at 4:00 ?
