The Band of the Grenadier Guards leads the Old Guard from No. 7 Company Coldstream Guards off the Palace Forecourt to the music "FIGARO" and then in quick time "SARAFAND", which since some years now has become a favourite of mine. Great trombone work on show here thanks to my position immediately in the front of the Band.
I was there this very day! I even managed to see Conmael the Irish wolfhound as the 1st Battalion Irish Guards founded the new guard (they also lined the streets the following morning for the Colonel's Review). I have a video of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards Corps of Drums arriving onto the forecourt of Buckingham Palace with the St. James' detachment of the old guard.
