Holyrood is a terrific march! Another great piece of work Windsor old chap.

The march played at 4:00 is H.M. Jollies by Kenneth J. Alford

And the Drum Major on both days was from the Irish Guards,in the first clip one or two Irish Guards bands men/women to make the numbers up

I loved the metamorphosis at the dismissal. I've never seen that before.

And now that the leaves have turned and fallen here in NEW England, it is nice to see it begin in REAL England.

The title for this video seems to suggest some uncertainty about the actual date of the filming. Here's a clue: Notice there is a laurel wreath on the colour of the Coldstream Guards. Guards regiments mark the dates of significant battles (for which they've received honours) by decking the colour

with a wreath. The battles of Gheluvelt & Zonnebeke took place on October 29, 1914 during WW I. So the video date appears to be correct.

Out on location in the provinces then WS? Nice smile from the lady Guard Commander at the end, and a privileged shot from inside the Parade Ground it seems. All adds up to another great piece as T62 says. Thanks!
