Gordon Highlanders Bicentenary Parade

The Bicentenary Parade of the Gordon Highlanders, celebrating 200 years of service. It is unfortunate that this parade took place shortly before the Regiment's amalgamation with the Queen's Own to form the Regiment we know as 'the Highlanders'. The parade includes the Pipes and Drums, Military Band, 1st Battalion, and Gordon Highlanders Association. Prince Charles, the Regiment's Colonel in Chief was the reviewing officer of the parade.

Affiliations include the Royal Victoria Regiment of Australia, the 48th Highlanders of Canada and the Cape Town Highlanders of South Africa, two of which still wear uniforms of the Gordon Highlanders.

Charles looks quite young and slim here. When was this filmed?

@ladylejean215 I think it was about 1995. It was just before the amalgamation in 1996.

Am I seeing things or are there some members of the band that are wearing Cameron tartan at 20:56 during the countermarching

Well that was interesting they showed the flag the Royal Coat of arms UK (english version) one would think they would have had the Good Manners to use the Scottish version of this flag, also I noticed that the kilts hang and look better than the kilts the Royal Regiment of Scotland currently wear (why is that)? and not a fijian face to be seen always a good thing.

The amalgamation took place on 17th September 1994, so had to be no later than summer 1994. Caberfeidh gu bragh.
