@slayr399 This is Bryn Terfel singing at the last night of the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London. I don't know if it was recorded for sale, but it's on Youtube. Terfel is a native Welsh speaker, hence one verse is sung in Welsh to the delight of the crowd. "Rule Britannia" is always sung at the last night of the Proms as a matter of tradition.
It's a Irish Wolfe Hound, that leads the Irish Guards out. There are 5 Guards Regiments, Welsh, Scots, Irish, Coldstream & Greneders........ I think the Grenediers are the oldest Regiment
Camilla parker bowles is a disgusting gutter whore; she is like poison with everything she comes in contact with including her own children. This will all end in tears and hopefully someone will eradicate this vile cancer as soon as possible. The most pleasing aspect of this all is she cannot control HM The Queen who clearly knows how to deal with this repulsive filth and has every intention of remaining Queen regnant for her lifetime that will probably be far longer than the late Queen Mothers!
@Tracer379 It's "Men of Harlech", a Welsh patriotic song, and therefore very appropriate??? for watching the Irish Guards troop their colour........ Note also that the music starts with the recording of "Rule Britannia" sung by Bryn Terfel, the Welsh bass/baritone, at the Proms some years ago; he sang the fourth verse in Welsh, to the delight of the audience. But what it's all to do with the Irish Guards I don't know. Great music though...
@peterkar Though the Irish Guards trooped their Regimental colour that particular year, there were other Guards battalions on parade. Perhaps Welsh, Coldsreams, Scots or Welsh. Anyway we in the British army like to play tradional marches, no matter what it is as long as it is traditional and nationalistic.
@McMoerder Its a Irish Wolfhound the Mascot of the Irish Guards . The regiment formed by Queen Victoria to commemorate the Irish people who fought in the Second Boer War for the British Empire.
Could you all kinda stop the hating its getting quite annoying now :) and by the way i'm doing first and second world war history at a level so please don't tell me to learn my history cause i already have
i dont know wot you are on about The usa only came in to the war because they were attacked if it was not for that yous would happily let Europe fall, eny way the Usa suck spying on UK and UN and nato so you are scum-bags
RB was done so brilliantly here that I had to look up the lyrics. Beautiful song and video. I can be proud that my dad served in the Royal Navy in WWII although I am certain he was not trilled about it. Dad--RIP.
It's about time for us all to drop our petty feuds within the UK. English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, we're all just folk with a bloody yet similar heritage. We face establishments who would strip away each of our national identities. Yes there were bad things done on every side of every fence, but when the Isles stand as one we can achieve so much more than when we stand alone. It's important to never forget, but it's more important to look forward, and use yesterday's lessons to shape tomorrow.
@CCSO0801 Been to South Carolina - beautiful country there, and many folks of Scottish, English, Irish and Welsh descent. I listened to so many personal histories of how so many families came to leave UK and move to South Carolina - fascinating.
Your state is wonderfully more diverse than that now, and I enjoyed magnificent hospitality during my time there.
@flygweilo We do not live in a state my friend, we live in a kingdom. As such we are not citizens rather subjects of our Queen. :) its quite cool actually. Up the Scots Guards
@tony20001 We certainly would have been subjects in times gone by, but (and please don't expect me to be specific here!), we are now definitely citizens as the law now makes allowance for such, and it this is shown in your passport.
But the two are not mutually exclusive. I knew of one Australian, for example, who even though he died in 2000 (aged 86) whose Australian passport carried the designation "Australian citizen, British subject" to the end of his days. :)
@tony20001 As for 'Kingdom' v 'State', I'd simply observe that the Britain - as a Constitutional Monarchy - is simply one of only a few States lucky enough to be a Kingdom.
@CCSO0801 youre a gutless traitor for saying we would ever want to return to british rule we kicked their limey asses out for a reason so if you obviously a coward leave the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and move to Britian until America has to come save it again you have no honor no loyalty and you are no American
@AgentMercer Its about a battle, can't remember which - curse me! Yet it is about how we welsh defended ourselves for years against the English, and the battles in which we won. Its a tribute to our ancestors that fought for wales, and current welsh soldiers - I believe anyhow.
@apeman371 uuuuh it was a scottish guy, alexander thompson whom wrote it, he was obsessed with the union of scotland and england, so i do not know how it relates to a welsh battle
@AgentMercer - NAW that is training and discipline, as are the troops marching back to barracks behind the horses and not swerving to missstepping in the horse droppings along the way.
Always loved the Trooping of the colour! I managed to visit London when they were rehearsing for 2010's colour. Never has my heart swelled with so much pride to see the British Flags fly under a sunny day from the Palace. :D
I don't think that ImperatorDominus quite understands that without the British Empire then there would be no civilised american nation, so if we're that bad then go back to living in a fucking teepee and throwing axes at each other moron.
all this to celebrate the birthday of a fucking old bitch waste of space fucking queen, her and her whole fucking family are scum and should be hanged publicly
British Empire was "fair" compared with some Empires. But no Empires are good. The Welsh had the Romans, after the Saxons & Angles came the Danish (Viking) Empire, then the Normans (God help us). Some how the peasants have survived. Learn from the Emporers & take the best - makes you stronger.ImperatorDominus - saved our ass? Think you'll find Germany declared war on you. When you have invented as much as we have to benefit the human race. Speal up. Til then - fuck off.
Everybody knows, except ImperatorDominus, that the British Empire was the biggest, best, fairest, and best run Empire the world has ever known. What a shame that humankind is so stupid that it doesn't know how to keep a good thing when it has it.
@apeman371 i agree. mostly because I am IRISH. They attempt to take over an island thinking there will be no fight. Come rape , murder - and think there's no consequences? So therefore the I.R.A came to bomb/murder as they did to the irish during the 1900's. 800 years of them finally came to an end. Call the I.R.A anything you want. But over 70% of people believe we did what had to be done. Thank you.
Of all empires past and present none has intrigued me and sparked jealousy like Great Britain. The only to match in discipline is possibly that of Germany (of old). Myself I am from the United States and everything we do (as far as ritualistic ceremonies) is more or less contributed directly to the U.K. and I am not ashamed to say that. But I see little slop in the ranks which I wouldn't have expected at such a ceremony.
Compared to the robotic precision seen in videos of the ChiCom and Nork parades, these guys look like amateurs (so do US forces) - lines are always a bit crooked. Thankfully, God is an Englishman. E II R
@horselips I'd venture that some of that is choreography -- the 20th century totalitarian regimes had the luxury of reinventing their close order drill, salutes, and all the rest to emphasize regimentation and their particular military fantasies.
I don't suppose these Guards have changed the drill much since the 18th century.
That said, it'd be interesting to hear the queen's impression: by now she must have gotten fairly 'well versed' in the way these drills ought to go.
@Rhydderch69 An interesting example is the formation change around 6:00 -- if you're choreographing the drill to look robotic and precise, you don't make your 'robots' flow through a 90 degree facing change. But if you're working off a drill manual from the 18th century, that's a 'compulsory,' and probably one with a 'high degree of difficulty.'
and its not just a choir, its the whole audience joining in!
a few years ago they used tech to connect Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales with the Royal Albert Hall in England and they all sang it together, it was epic!
I love parading, i actualy got a form to fill out the other day to apply to become an officer and i would join the Grenadier Guards just for the marching alone.
@TheEmperorBokassa Are you mad or just stupid, get on a porn site for your rants, and leave this one to people who appreciate discipline and tradition and of course music!
@overopensights "Discipline,tradition and music" How about 22 years now retired in Germany where I was stationed for most of it (when not in more uncomfortable parts of the world.) So no more open sights dreamer bollocks.
@TheEmperorBokassa Emperor, if it is a sense of humour that you have then I accept. I just don't like to see the piss taken out of these lads. How about 28 years and retired in somerset. If you were stationed for most of it in Germany then you were perhaps in a corps or heavy artillery and perhaps don't understand fully what you see presented here. However you have done your stint and sincere greetings from me.
@overopensights OK. Perhaps my sense of humour is a bit stupid but it was aimed at the destruction of British tradition through mass immigration not at the lads. I come home once a year for The Remembrance Day Parade, I try to stifle the tears for lost mates but every year they flow.Best wishes to you and God save Britain.
Do you feel better insulting other people? Who minds about your thinking? I'm catalan, not english, and I think scotihs people have the right of autodetermination, but you will not hear me saying bad things about others.
thats a good point but king george should have avoided taxation while napoleon was leading france... although if it were not for the french the americans may have lost
No you were not. The Revolutionary War spanned the late 1700's. Napoleon was not even in power until the next century, the 19th century (1800's) So both wars had like 30 years between. The loss of the Revolutionary War was a lack of British will to really fight and the fact that the Royal Navy was in such a bad state they were incapable of breaking the French Blockade that cut their supplies. The British Military of the 19th century tho was truly legendry. Not a single war lost!
But remember there was the 30 years war in middle on europe which GB was involved in , and the same time the USA was too far away, and it cost a in extent amount of money to form armies aswell as send them 2000 miles to the US.
American War of Independence lasted aproximately from 1775 to the formal British abandonment of any claims to the United States with the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
The french revolution started in1789 and lasted until 1799.
The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts declared against the French Empire that ran from 1803 to 1815. As a continuation of the wars sparked by the French Revolution of 1789.
@Moltke But you may also be referring to theThe War of 1812. A war fought between the United States of America and the British Empire - particularly Great Britain and the provinces of British North America, the antecedent of Canada. that lasted from 1812 to 1815. And was fought chiefly on the Atlantic Ocean and on the land, coasts and waterways of North America.
God bless our Queen - and the Queen of Canada too - we share many things like a language and culture, pitty the Yanks went in a different direction - their loss.
@Whitbywatcher God Bless the United States, God Save the Republic. And thank God we broke away from the tyranny of the british crown. gorge3rd was a tyrant,a despot and a nut job. One of the best things America ever did was to send him packing. We've already kicked and saved your ass two times in a row. I wish you basters would come back for round 3! England, the 51st state : ) ! And is Americana Rules the waves. How many carrier battle groups do you have again. Who is then# 1 SuperPower?USA!

March ye men of Harlech bold, Unfurl your banners in the field,
Be brave as were your sires of old, And like them never yield!
What tho' evry hill and dale, Echoes now with war's alarms,
Celtic hearts can never quail, When Cambria calls to arms.

@overopensights "Discipline,tradition and music" How about 22 years now retired in Germany where I was stationed for most of it (when not in more uncomfortable parts of the world.) So no more open sights dreamer bollocks.
TheEmperorBokassa 1 year ago
@TheEmperorBokassa Emperor, if it is a sense of humour that you have then I accept. I just don't like to see the piss taken out of these lads. How about 28 years and retired in somerset. If you were stationed for most of it in Germany then you were perhaps in a corps or heavy artillery and perhaps don't understand fully what you see presented here. However you have done your stint and sincere greetings from me.
overopensights 1 year ago
@overopensights OK. Perhaps my sense of humour is a bit stupid but it was aimed at the destruction of British tradition through mass immigration not at the lads. I come home once a year for The Remembrance Day Parade, I try to stifle the tears for lost mates but every year they flow.Best wishes to you and God save Britain.

I will give the american's credit for their tactics during that war although you must remember we were kicking Napoleon's arse at the same time :)

thats a good point but king george should have avoided taxation while napoleon was leading france... although if it were not for the french the americans may have lost
87penfan 2 years ago
No you were not. The Revolutionary War spanned the late 1700's. Napoleon was not even in power until the next century, the 19th century (1800's) So both wars had like 30 years between. The loss of the Revolutionary War was a lack of British will to really fight and the fact that the Royal Navy was in such a bad state they were incapable of breaking the French Blockade that cut their supplies. The British Military of the 19th century tho was truly legendry. Not a single war lost!
ginjaninja1988 2 years ago
But remember there was the 30 years war in middle on europe which GB was involved in , and the same time the USA was too far away, and it cost a in extent amount of money to form armies aswell as send them 2000 miles to the US.

@apeman371 Not realy the same time there.
American War of Independence lasted aproximately from 1775 to the formal British abandonment of any claims to the United States with the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
The french revolution started in1789 and lasted until 1799.
The Napoleonic Wars were a series of conflicts declared against the French Empire that ran from 1803 to 1815. As a continuation of the wars sparked by the French Revolution of 1789.
Moltke 1 year ago
@Moltke But you may also be referring to theThe War of 1812. A war fought between the United States of America and the British Empire - particularly Great Britain and the provinces of British North America, the antecedent of Canada. that lasted from 1812 to 1815. And was fought chiefly on the Atlantic Ocean and on the land, coasts and waterways of North America.

@apeman371 that was the war of 1812 we had nothing else going on in the revolutionary war
