    So you can set the record straight for everyone.

    The Old guard was provided by the Royal Regiment of Artillery whose slow march is SCIPIO

  • Interesting, I have only attended the 1 such show at Buck house.... quality video mate.

  • @hovanti My apologies, I posted the same comment twice...

  • Also, the regimental slow march, played by first band to exit, is that of the guard and not the band.

    Like I said before, It doesn't matter what regiment the band is from. If the guard is provided by the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers then the band, regardless of the regiment, will play Rule Britannia.

  • @flatschie

    The various regimental bands do not only provide musical support for their own regiment.

    Bands, as well as those visiting, that provide musical support are completely independent from the guard. Therefore, it is normal to see, for example, an RAF band with the Coldstream Guards or the Royal Artillery Band with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.

    Unless the band is assigned to its corresponding regiment for public duties, where then it will always provide musical support for it.

  • Indeed, you are right.

  • Watch until the very very end, when you see the Band disappearing towards Wellington Barracks, there you can see the black uniforms following the Band.

  • Well I saw the Grenadiers but I didn't see any black uniforms ...

  • If you have a look through the gates (very briefly), you ca of course see the scarlet of the 1st Bn Grenadier Guards, but there are soldiers in black uniforms as well coming out.

  • How do you know it is not provided by the Guards ?
