  • The music heard here, and played so perfectly by the Band of the Irish Guards, is the slow march BY LAND AND SEA by Kenneth Alford; and the quick march THE WASHINGTON POST by John Philip Sousa. Both composers are march kings of their era, the one British, the other American-born.

  • Love it. The band is playing the "The Washington Post March" by John Phillip Sousa (Captain, USMC) at the end.

  • @adipuppi police protect the public and the guards from the public, the gards protect the Queen

  • @adipuppi Well I think because Scotland Yard (London Metropolitan Police) must have elements to protect your majesty, are also in an urban area, it is my opinion

  • Thanks for posting.

    Nobody does this better than the Brits!

  • @adipuppi You've never seen police at parades? For crowd control, traffic control, to deal with nuts and anyone else who might want to disrupt the proceedings, etc.

  • why do they need police?

  • Tar 21

  • Yes sir...Nobody marches like the british

  • Quick time

    March!

    Nobody marches like the Brits!

    Bobby..

  • @robtbone British military bands commonly play marches from all over the world, the US included. But they also play German, Austrian, French, Russian and Italian marches - indeed from wherever in the world they choose. Sometimes the choice of a march will have a special meaning, though just as often not.

    Why they chose a Sousa tune here on this occasion, I have no idea - chance, perhaps?

  • @CeremonyConnoisseur Yes, excellent.
