The opening is from Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, do the royal marines play the full piece, before it fades into the routine?

I remember watching this and I have the "Musical Highlights" LP (vinyl, for those who remember!). My parents took us to many Royal Tournaments, really enjoyed them. Whoever cancelled them should do 100 pressups. Sorry, meant 10000000000000000 pressups, typo!

I remember this show so well- such a shame this sort of thing, like mast manning, has gone forever

Health and Saftey would have a thing or 2 to say about 5:13 lol.

Even better was the Mast Manning- the 'button boy' at the top was vitually at the roof of Earls Court!

[FinalFreek]

and how tall is earls court inside do you know?
