The Band of H.M. Royal Marines - Gibraltar

[ImitatorBoyz]

The best military band in the world.

[niajac100]

fantastic playing from a truely great band - music composed by Lt Col Richard Waterer RM (rtd)

[sgnastoli]

If Gibraltar hadn't been British, I wouldn't be able to say: the first time I set foot on British soil was during a journey to Spain :)))

[nikychib]

Nice march ! By the way you had another march from the royal marines which has disappeared.... can you remember me what whas the name of it ?

Thks

[geraldoanderson14]

muito massa essa musica 

[Bandyfoz]

Great march, for a great rock that is great Gibraltar, which is part of Great Britain. Got it? That's great.

[mvpumar]

nice..........



[MrTragos610d]

awsome!! where can i find sheet music for this song?

[merluzabyrne]

Inspiring piece of music though!

[merluzabyrne]

The British win Gibraltar in battle, they are thieves, Spain takes Ceuta and Melilla, they have been legitimately taken. Is it me, or is the same situation being described in two different ways? If the British are thieves (which they are not) for taking Gibraltar, then so are Spain for taking Ceuta and melilla!

[uxeivuda]

@merluzabyrne I thought that I was the only one (out of my friends), who found this odd.

[Damnblastify]

@merluzabyrne Doesn't matter, Gibraltar is British! Full Stop :-)

[HerrFitztastic]

@merluzabyrne

Ceuta and Melila have opted to remain under the Spanish Crown in much the same way that Gibraltar's people have voted to remain as subjects of Her Majesty's union.

[abelbedel]

@merluzabyrne LOL,Ceuta and Melilla are part of Spanish nation since XVI century,when Morocco not at least was an ilussion. Bad demagoguery man ;)

[MrAlexander022]

fucking nice march did they play this song also on the wmc in the netherlands in kerkrade ??

[NuovaZelanda001]

Very nice, british marches are bloody great!. Greetings from your allies Italy :)

[APESMONOS]

I am PROUD 6TH GENERATION British Gibraltarian ,I come from Portuguese ,Canadian, Italian ,English and Spanish decent.I consider myself as British as an English ,a Scot ,or Welsh or Nothern Irish person.Gibraltar will remain British as long as the people want to .And as far as public opinion goes it will take another 300 years to try and change that.,especially if Spain continues with its Franco mentality.Leave us alone, GROW UP SPAIN!

[BeepBeepBoing]

@APESMONOS Spain will NEVER take Gibraltar we will treat them the same as we did the Argentinians over the Falklands ... we the British people will not lie down in the face of aggresion.

[abelbedel]

@BeepBeepBoing you are a dumbass. I only hope that one day one country,invade for example Cornwall,and then we will see how you act and cry,claiming for the return of a part of your land and country. Fucking hipocrytes,I wish that for you with all my heart,and then you'll see how do we feel.

[BeepBeepBoing]

@abelbedel well no one gives a shit what a disckhead spaniard thinks so ... fuck off

[abelbedel]

@BeepBeepBoing come to Spain and tell me in my face,if you have the balls stupid faggot ;). Ah,if I'm a dickhead,suck my head, fucking gay cunt ;)

[BeepBeepBoing]

@abelbedel ok give me your address :)

[abelbedel]

@BeepBeepBoing Lugo - Galicia. Santiago Street,118. You're wellcome ;)

[BeepBeepBoing]

@abelbedel will be there tomorrow

[abelbedel]

@APESMONOS Franco mentality?this mentality is more ancient than your stupid reasonings. You are recognising,you are a colonist,and that's not your land. The real gibraltarians are in San Roque and La Línea,exiled of his houses and town because of you,british thieves and colonists.

RETURN US OUR LAND.

[neptunisregis11]

Definitely one of the best marches and best bands in the world!!

[haaatz]

At about 2:35, I thought they started playing the theme from Star Wars.

[Bandyfoz]

Possible the best march, and played by certainly the best band in the world.

[jeroen17058]

I thought it was R. Waterer who wrote it. But i could be wrong

[jeroen17058]

real nice march performed bij a great band.

[DarkMusik]

hello! someone has the sheet music of the play? how it's called the author?

[trOmpetista99]

Perfect!!! Great March!

[neptunisregis11]

A couple of "Kiwis" off of the HMNZS Atago told me about this march when I ran into them on Hotel street in Honoluliu. I am forever grateful; Also for the Hindi girl that they hooked me up with.

[willbert46]

@neptunisregis11 It's HMNZS Otago actualy

[neptunisregis11]

@willbert46 Thanks for the correction.

[Dianea2009]

Perfection + Superior!!

[pmo56]

In Gibraltar or the Falklands we do not speak Spanish neither do the people that live there !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCdwechsler]

Could anybody possibly tell me the name of the tune/march at 2:30 . I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Cheers

[Diavolino1988]

@TheCdwechsler That's still the march Gibraltar. That is just where the epic part starts =D

[ANDYSteele100]

@Diavolino1988

no way dude, best part for myself is 3:00

[TheMunyiri]

Continue dreaming you spanish dogs, the people of Gibraltar don't even want to be part of spain, this is the 21st century and you dont just claim that land is yours, the people voted, and we all know what the results were, Gibraltan are British, its about time you spaniards stop crying like spoilt brats and solve the economic crisis in spain and leave Gibraltar alone.

[princeeverlove]

Britain, once the very epitome of Royal Majesty and Might may soon lose Gibraltar. Don't believe me--wait and see. The EU is closely working with Spain on such a subject. Gibraltar~the last great symbol of English self-dtermination.

[M55q]

@princeeverlove That is why I f*cking detest the European Union... But nevertheless, this is truly an epic piece of music!

[liverpoolparkour08]

love the trio at 2:28 epic piece of composition!!

[MrAlvedro]

Ceuta and Melilla and all the other spanish possesions North Africa are Spanish Cities.I keep seeing people trying to compare Gibraltar to Spains possesion of Ceuta .Spain had Ceuta ect... before Morocco became a state.

Viva Gibraltar y Espana and our British Friends

[MrAlvedro]

I am Spanish and proud!

Gibraltar in my eyes is Spanish and that is what I believe,please respect that at least!

It is true that The Catholic King gave Gibraltar to the Throne of England but not the isthmus and the airport for petes sakes is stolen land. on top of us giving the land to Britain!The treaty has been broken on part of Britain , britain must return the colony back to Spain now.There is only one colony left in Europe and that is Gibraltar.

[TheAdjeee]

@MrAlvedro keep it together dude. Gibraltar is in my eyes Dutch, but that doesnt make it the truth.

This music is awesome and dont complain about the fact that britain controls that shitty rock in the south. You should blame your ancestors who gave it away

[clarkiiboii09]

FANTASTIC!

[solbergsindre]

Ah, the great military marches! Gotta love 'em!

[aceflyer89]

Love the cadence :)

(Coming from a Royal Canadian Air Cadet)

[APESMONOS]

Gibraltar and the Royal Marines are one .Thanks to them we are now British since 1704.Check the cap badge for evidence .I have seen and heard them for a number of years and they truly professional as musicians and as soldiers.It would be great to see them around again .Proud to be British Gibraltarian .

[Mogdyur]

Correct, abelbedel. And it will remain a UK colony long after you and I have ceased watching youtube.

[abelbedel]

colonists are happy,am i right? if you love so much UK,you could go to your country and let Spain recover his complete sovereignty!! Gibraltar is Spain,sorry my friends. You stoled us a part of our nation,but not our minds!!

[gibman1]

@abelbedel

Gibraltar is British whether u like it or not! U could also say u stole ceuta & melilla from morocco!!

Ur minds r typical from a typical franquist ignorants but its normal in ur nation!

PS ask the US for Florida! Bet u r nation doesn't have the guts!

[Myles0Harcourt]

@abelbedel

Let Morocco recover its complete sovereignty then.

[abelbedel]

@Myles0Harcourt LOL. Learn history. Morocco is a country since XIX century. Ceuta and Melilla are part of Spain since XVI century,and we didn't steal anything,as you do with Gibraltar.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@abelbedel

We didn't steal anything. We won it in a war, and you ceded it to us, by treaty, for ever, in 1713. If you don't like it, don't sign a treaty. Furthermore, you did conquer or recieve Ceuta and Melilla, albeit a couple of hundred years earlier.

[abelbedel]

@Myles0Harcourt hahahahahaha. You make me laugh. Learn about history,ok?you didn't won anything. There was a CIVIL WAR in Spain. British,Dutch and some Spaniards from the Crown of Aragon won Gibraltar for the Archduke Charles(Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire). The Gobernor of Gibraltar, DELIVERY IT FOR THE ARCHDUKE CHARLES,and that's the moment where the British decides to consume the traition.

[jdi0093113]

@abelbedel We won Gibralter fair and square. We continue to have Gibralter now and spain doesn't. The people of the Rock want to stay British. The Rock will stay British for as long as the people want it to be British. We will defend her from spain and other enemies. Go away spaniard because you have no say in what happens with Gibralter.

God Save the Queen

[cosmictimes]

@jdi0093113 Ask them about their bases in Morocco then follow it up with 3 words, "Pot, Kettle & Black" Any conquering Britannia ever did, Spain did it 10 times better in South America, so no moral high ground for them

[abelbedel]

@jdi0093113 I have a lot of things to say,as the UN recognised :) ah,you didn't win it fair,read a book and if you are stupid like I think and you don't like history books,read what I've said,because is a little summary. You didn't win it fair. Maybe,is that the reason because UN thinks that Gibraltar should be decolonised :)

[Myles0Harcourt]

@abelbedel

Considering the countless horrors by which Spain obtained its empire in South America (Some of which make some of our dubious practises look like good treatment) I would say that a little peninsula is a pretty small deal. (And just a point of info, the English word is governor.)

[abelbedel]

@Myles0Harcourt LOL. Now you talk to me about America... hahahaha,it's funny. Look how many millions of indians are in South America,and look how many THOUSANDS of indians are in North America,because of british killings hahahaha. Your arguments are simply a joke hahahaha.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@abelbedel Your English does not make sense for part of this at least. How many millions more would be born today were it not for the tortures meted out on the Native South Americans by the Conquistadors to try to make them disclose the location of their gold?

[abelbedel]

@Myles0Harcourt PS: THE TREATY(that you don't obey,of course)WASN'T SIGNED BY ANY SPANISH REPRESENTATIVE. Ah,and Ceuta and Melilla was part of Spain since XVI century,300 hundred years before the born of Moroccan nation. LEARN HISTORY, that's you should do before you trying to seem more inteligent than you are ;)

[Myles0Harcourt]

@abelbedel

Would you like explain how we don't obey it?

[jopelandiaful]

I have a question, what site can I download the mp3 format of gibraltar?

[dynamicz108]

[phucoff1]

[iyotino]

[dynamicz108]

[Mr66degrees]

Too bad it's just still pics. I'd like to have seen them marching as they played
