Make no mistake, all military band personnel give you your moneys worth. So you object to war, do you suppose we look forward to it? Wake up and smell the bloody coffee! Instead of sitting on your high horse have a go at the politicians. Do not sleit brave people. Without the services we would be overrun with terrorists.But thanks to politicians we are overrun by yobs and criminals instead. My service (23yrs) ended long ago, I wouldn't serve now for Roonys wage!!!
@stixjohno Royal Tournament , not a patch on the RT of olde. Why they ever cancelled it will always remain a mystery to me! Bring back the RMs, The RN Field Gunners and the White Helmets!
The Royal Tournament: another wonderful piece of British history destroyed by a Labour (Socialist) government!
You see, Labour hates anything reminiscent of this country's greatness. If they had their way, our armed forces would be disbanded. Witness how Brown callously cut the military budget, while our boys and girls died in Iraq / Afghanistan for want of the proper kit.
'Twas ever thus under Labour governments. They simply do not understand our love and admiration for our armed services.
Hi. Yes they were there. I was at Earls Court every other day for this one. The anks, Spaniards and everyone else hasd a fantastic time and without doubt, this was the very best of the Tornaments. Brting it back.................
I never knew my Grand father Royal Marine PTI; Sergeant Frederick Pennson Wells, he died at Scappa Flow. I cry when I hear this. The tears flood watching it. I feel very proud to be British. I'll have to wipe my eyes, I cannot see the keys. Thanks Ron in OZ.
As another Ex Bootneck, this was awesome. I, along with probably every other R.M. that has ever been, hated parades but stick us in Blues and put us behind the Bandies and it was something special.
My old man was a WW2 RN rating and he said you could march twice as far with the RM band out front and it put 4 inches on your chest I think it probably still applies these days.
i wish they would bring back the royal tournement..i went every year from the age of 6(now 35) up until they cancelled it. i would love my kids to see it... it fills you with so much pride.
Strikes me Blair and the rest of his 'Born again Jacobites' have caused more damage to our great nation (for that is what we are!) than old Adolf and The Kaiser ever did! Good on you 'Royals' - Europe will NEVER water you down!
As a former Royal Marine I can tell you that as long as the Corps exists there will always be a reason to be proud to be British. Those of your countrymen now serving need your support more than ever . The Royal Tournament was an opportunity for the public to see their tax pounds and to remind them of their heritage. BRING IT BACK!!
@ticketballs Its a good thing to see all these good men playing wonderful music. However I think that I would be a better use of funds and of greater help to the troops if tax money was spent on the best equipment and supplies rather than public entertainment. It would also be good to make sure that all veterans are rewarded for their service and sacrifice. Once they have done this I would be happy to watch what is an exciting spectacular and a MUCH BETTER use of tax money than WAR.
May I inform you that the Royal Marines Band Service play an active role in theatre in any situation as well as musical support for troops home and abroad, and to add flying the flag on all sorts of engagements. I myself served in the Falklands War 1982 as a stretcher bearer/POW Guard. You as a British tax payer get your full worth for such a great organisation that puts us on the world map. Recently, a RM Band were deployed to Afghanistan as general duties (not music).
this show just showd how great the british people were but not now i almost feel ashamed to be known as british with the way this country has been sent down hill by a screwd up govament and with all the hard work from leaders like chirch hill and maggie.
too british my arse. NOTHING can ever be too british. this was a great event my grandad took me to see the RM band back when i was like 6 and i loved it.
Although i dont see why im reading the kind of crap that gets thumbs down, Id like to point out to skippy that HRH Prince Phillip wasnt reading the prayer because hes the Prince Consort, but because he is the Captain-General of the Royal Marines. I see why your comment got 6 thumbs down but I just thought I'd tell you why everyone thinks you're a numbskulled idiot. If this doesnt post next to his comment, Skippys comment is on page 2 at the time of writing.
I remember the Tournament as a nipper, then as an adult. It was magnificent at both times in my life. Definately agree that it should be brought back. The government bemoans that they haven't got enough personnel to deal with all the crap they drop HM Forces in, when they scrap one of the best recruitment tools going. Amateurs!
I used to sit with my Grandad (Who served on HMS Kent during the war).and watched this,and felt proud of our Armed forces and what he done for his country.So it's a bit crap my son can't see this great event.
I still say the reason they cancelled this great British spectacle was because it was TOO BRITISH and dont forget the 2 weeks of The Royal Tournament was for the service charities
Shame for this Country but most of all shame on the Government at the time
This is Britain at its best
I saw every Tournament from 66-99 and i tell you no matter which service had the bulk of the show wheteher army navy or airforce you were never dissapointed
Even to this day i still say it should come back!!
I agree with every word you have written. NuLabour hate this sort of thing because as you say it's TOO BRITISH. When Cameron is PM I intend to start a petition to have the The Royal Tournament brought back. It's a fine British tradition which should instill pride in our young people.
Wonderful video, I gave it five stars! I especially enjoyed seeing the lads performing 'Sunset.' I have posted my production ' Sunset A Californian's Tribute' which I have dedicated to the Royal Marines as a video response.
Oh no,when was the Royal Tournament cancelled? I want to see the great show once in my lifetime. I won't mind travel from Hong Kong, a former British colony, to London to experience this meaningful event. Where can we send our petition to reinstate this Tournament?
The Last Royal Tournament was in 1999, In 2000, on Horseguards Parade, London, we did the Royal Military Tattoo which was unbeleivable. A Tri-Service event with the history of the UK Armed forces dating back to when Horseguards Parade had a Tilt yard for Jousting etc. Unfortunatly the MOD budget doesn't allow for such events like that anymore. The government is to busy bailing out Banks that get into trouble
Why was the Royal Tournament cancelled?.Growning up in London my parents and I loved it.Being an ex SAS member we knew we could always count on the Marines.Gentlemen I salute all of you.
I served in Royal Navy and once youve marched to these guys...you know you are in the forces..It was great. They are undisputed to be the best military band in the World.
This was the Massed bands of the Royal Marines for the finale of the 1990 Royal Tournament. I traveled to see this show twice over the years and i always found it to be the most British of shows. Too bad it is no more, though it is doubtful that the Royal Marines could field that many bands today even if it still was playing at Earls Court.
I was a trombone player in the US Marine Band that was there. at 0:03 you see the 8 ranks. I'm at the end of the 2d rank from the right farthest from the camera. A closer shot is 0:42-0:43. I'm the guy at the end of the rank on the right. From 0:47-0:48 you see me second from the end.
Don't understand why they decided to scrap the Royal Tournament!! Its a pity that on this particular tournament, someone decided not to include the word "Gibraltar" on the big badge in order not to offend the spaniards. Gibraltar is the Royal Marines Battle Honour and they have it on their badge.
At least they still let you say "God" Save the Queen... if it was like America over there, you would not be able to say that. Political Correctness makes me nauseas. The UK and the US have such a wonderful and rich heritage, which will be lost if things keep going the way they are. It's sad and I don't want to believe it, but it's true.
The Royal Tournament...one of the best and most effective recruiting tools ever! Went there as a young lad, and later served 6 years in the Army. Scrapped years ago...nonesense decision
As an Ex Submariner and with 2 sons serving in the Forces at the moment it brings tears to my eyes watching that and makes my heart feel like bursting with pride !!
Its great to be British,bring back this great event !!
Absolutely fantastic! As an ex-RN Submariner, the RM Band can still raise the hairs on the back of my neck, and like INKAT, bring a tear to the eye with pride.
I lived in Portsmouth and use to go to Navy Days every year where the fantastic RM band performed sunset. Brilliant. Best military musiciams in the world. Thanks for posting.
I was lucky enough to attend the Royal Tournament in its last year when I was 9 years old. Although I remember enjoying it I wish I had been older so I would have been able to fully appreciate it. Thanks for putting this video up!
I was fortunate to attend a Royal Tournament that was a navy year. A spectacular performance and the tournaments should be restored. One of the best pound for pound value the government spends on the military. They are also great recruiting events!
i used to go to this when i was little. I swear to god that i'd give anything to have the Royal tournament back it was just so brilliant and watching this just makes me feel gutted that britains lost something so brilliant.
Marines band s arent the best !!!! not by a long shot.Thats the sort of comment from somebody whos never played in a band.Ask a marines bandsman who the best band is.
It is indeed extremely sad that this event which was supposed to raise money for charity no longer takes place. The real death blow came in 1992 (under the conservatives) when defence cuts meant the length of the event was reduced by a week ruining the prospects of financial viability. As an event it was sadly unable to recover.
has anyone got the full version of this tournament 1990 because i performed with the white helmets motorcycle display team. If any1 has it pleas get in touch ... many thanks
Tuska dude i didnt go to the 1990 tournament because it was the year i was born, however i went to the last 3 before they stopped doing them...they were the best events ive ever been to!
Hi Tuska, I have the BBC version of the 1990 RT originally on video but I've coverted it to DVD. Haven't watched it in ages so I don't know the quality but if you've had no luck I'll see if I can download the White Helmets bit. I was working at the RT in 1990 as an usher.
Make no mistake, all military band personnel give you your moneys worth. So you object to war, do you suppose we look forward to it? Wake up and smell the bloody coffee!

Hi Tuska, I have the BBC version of the 1990 RT originally on video but I've coverted it to DVD. Haven't watched it in ages so I don't know the quality but if you've had no luck I'll see if I can download the White Helmets bit. I was working at the RT in 1990 as an usher.
