Samrt as carrots....even if they are the Irish Guards ;0)

[gunner4usmc]

What is a "Yob"?

[md0u9186]

I would suggest that the two running soldiers are to protect the regimental colour which the officer used to carry. It is a left over from those days.

[bootsandsaddles]

V good, well done. the only thing spoiling it is those yobs in yellow, how they fancy themselves.

[md0u9186]

@bootsandsaddles You leave those guys in yellow alone - they are there for a purpose.

[EveGallente]

Haha 1:14 xD

[emptyangel]

@EveGallente

The soldier you are pointing out had just ran from the back of the column. This was all on command, nothing out of the ordinary happening here.

[LJOUWERD]

Keep this stuff coming. It is fantastic!!!!!!!!!

[drum3433]

I like the additional unit on parade on the return to barracks with the old guard. I think it is the 1st Battalion The Queens Own Baby Buggys!  (Armoured Recon Unit) lol

[MrJimmyboy1972]

@drum3433 aye! did ye no see the mobile phone launchers at the side o the armoured buggies. lol

[windsorsoldiers]

Nah Wayne! Hes running to protect the escort (The Man at the front of the guards with a sword)! hope this helps.

[emptyangel]

I do believe that they are providing the escort for the officer.

Protecting the escort would mean they would be protecting themselves. :P

[noskcajluap]

it is a leftover element from when they would take colours on a windsor guard

[bluemax999]

Great video again, at 1:13 what is the guard with gun doing it looks like he has lost his place in the group and running to catch up.

[rmorecook]

In the US military he would be the 'road guard' who stops car traffic as the troops march past - then runs to catch up with the unit after the last man has passed the cars.

[rmorecook]

At 2 min 18 it is the third most popular march in the USA National Emblem by Bagley

[k0smon]

@rmorecook : And right after that is a march almost unheard of in the US - General Mitchell by R B Hall

[rmorecook]

Hi Friend Remember to use your tripod - even if only one leg extended as a unipod. It's the biggest improvement you can make to this wonderful video

[gavsky23]

At about 2:06 the Guardsmen on the left, forming the Officer escort, looks like the poor guy is limping!

[sgoudie]

great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[collegiateguy]

Congrats on exceptionally fine videography...keep them coming! My day's not complete without hearing the strains of martial music. A great selection of marches today: Glorious Victory, National Emblem, General Mitchell and St. Patrick's Day. Bravo! Many thanks for your work.

[noskcajluap]

[formerdoc]

[emptyangel]
