Airborne sappers have been declared ready to guard the Royal Palaces after undergoing a rigorous 'fit for role' inspection at Wellington Barracks in central London.
The soldiers from 23 Parachute Engineer Regiment swapped bridge-building and water purification for the parade ground as they prepared to stand guard at Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, St James' Palace, and Windsor Castle.
They'll be carrying out Ceremonial Public Duties for six weeks from late January to March.

Well done lads, from an ex RAE Sapper. Doing the Sappers proud.

@georgefinch0872 Год назад

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="125">2:05</a> I like how everyone begins to lean forward all at the same time.

@CheersDits2979 Год назад

They must be THREADERS with that detail 😆

@skeletonkey6733 Год назад

Respect to all and will stand in their carrer memories for all time and forever. Didnt serve in RE but my brother did and was proud of him. Time and time again the RE never fail to deliver regarless of what was asked of them performing already difficult tasks in sometimes the most hostile of environments with the airbourne aspect taking at times to yet another level. Wishing all involved well and bless all.

High respect.

Combat engineer is a very dangerous job

@jacobkeppler1984 Год назад

Well done everyone

@rosemarybuchanan7237 Год назад

Our super yummy Captain looking gorgeous. 😊😊

@markcummings6856 Год назад

Looking good.

@cycleSCUBA Год назад

A fine landmark for the Corps of Royal Engineers 👏. Ex-Sapper.

@trevorhoward7682 Год назад

In 1973 I was a sapper on a course at Maidstone. I met a mate from training and asked what he was up to. He said he was making sentry boxes for the palace. I said the palace has plenty of boxes, they don't need more. He explained that the boxes he was making had to be smaller so as to not make the guards look ridiculous. Apparently, the Gurkhas were due to mount the guard for a number of weeks. Physically small maybe, but giants in battle.

@colincocks1335 Год назад

Nice one, from ex RE, Berlin style, good days those were

@Gabcikovo Год назад

Gabčík and Kubiš approve 🤖🪂🤫

@nilmoney1 Год назад

berets are being worn like mine was.!

@JammyDodger45 Год назад

On their heads?

@Retired-Tom Год назад

Wow, I bet they hate it now but it's something to talk about in 40 or 50 years

@billballbuster7186 Год назад

Historically the Guards Battalions have done this job, thats why they got the Guards title. In recent years it seems everyone gets a shot, so much for tradition.

@notactuallytesco Год назад

Different regiments have mounted a guard duty for hundreds of years, and it was also very much prevalent during the early-mid 20th Century. Even the Parachute Regiment had a turn back in the 50s. Nothing to do with getting rid of tradition here, in fact it's very much in keeping with it. Merging regiments for no reason on the other hand, can do one.

@madmandanreviews3764 Год назад

Who do you expect to do ceremonial duties when the guards are preparing for the kings coronation?

@stupotingoole Год назад

Not only Sappers,as always they’re supported by the BEST Corp in the British Army…… Arte et Marte…..REME

@ABC1701A Год назад

Couldn't agree more, dad was REME back in the middle 40s/50s. The best regiment [but I admit to being biased].

@medic7698 Год назад

REME = Rough Engineering Made Easy

@michaeldoolan7595 Год назад

Or " We help people kill people." That's a joke, by the way. Very few of these lads will have done a jump, and as far as Im concerned if you have not jumped six times and twice by barrage balloon. Have not milled. Have not done P company you do not deserve that Maroon beret.

@bastogne315 Год назад

Could they fix my boiler?

@rmnair90 Год назад

@ around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="151">2:31</a>. The officers are out of step😱

@Danny-gb2kj Год назад

Big wigs don’t have to march

@lambo4586 Год назад

Didn't see anyone from 70 Sqn QGE.

@EJL110 Год назад

I’m a sapper, but any airborne sapper from 9 Para will be fuming (and rightly so) they’re wearing those berets, especially in front of Buckingham palace

@adrianlydiate7197 Год назад

Why ?

@JammyDodger45 Год назад

They've gone very quiet. I guess we'll never know why now.

@edgar0517 Год назад

Well that’s the first time I’ve heard it pronounced “Uber kway”, pretty sure it was pronounced “U beek” (Ubique)

@medic7698 Год назад

You're right.

@EJL110 Год назад

You’re right, the commentator hasn’t got a clue!😂

@dickturpin9498 Год назад

It’s U:bi:kway.

@cycleSCUBA Год назад

In Latin you pronounce all vowels: 'Oo-bik-way'. The ue is a diphthong and is 'way'. Ex-Sapper and now pedant !

@bastogne315 Год назад

Do they get paid properly cos their tradies.

@shecksthesheckler423 Год назад

Public duties, one long guard duty it’s a ball ache. The officer using words like “we”, you never see them stagging on

@Sapper142 Год назад

I was with 23 Field Engineer Regiment in 1949/51. Is there any connection ? G R West.

@billathighwoods4289 Год назад

Much improved over a few days. Still needs swagger and snap, but great potential though. Para and skills needed for field craft so all is forgiven 😅

@Jimmie16 Год назад

REspect lads not a role I would have thanked you for LOL.

@misterbig9025 Год назад

When are they going to Ukraine?

@stun5700 Год назад

HATS

@JammyDodger45 Год назад

They're also wearing boots, coats and trousers, why don't you shout about those?

@carlseddon2392 Год назад

Do you not wear wings on a grey coat or are you all crow bags. I presume you have all passed the all arms P company.

@Tom-bs1em Год назад

I thought only badges of rank were displayed on greatcoats - might be completely wrong though

@JammyDodger45 Год назад

Well the females haven't passed P-Coy as neither of the 2 that have are RE. In the RM only Rank is displayed on greatcoats but I don't know if Pongo's do likewise.
