CBC footage of Queen Elizabeth II presenting guidons and colours to five Canadian regiments including the 1st Hussars of London Ontario. Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 5 July 1967
Well said Rabby!🍁 Today, here in February 2022, this, our very same Parliament Hill, could never dream of the day where thousands of the everyday, ordinary Canadians and the grandkids of the loyal battalions shown here on parade were forced to reclaim the freedoms and heritage fought for by so many. ''Our Happy Land''
@Ryan I'm not sure about that. The fabric you use for your scarlets today are thinner and softer (properly cheaper) than before and doesn't give the same shape or snug fit hug over your body especially around the shoulder, the waist, and the lower back as before which is a no-no for No.1s and full dress tunics. You can clearly see that in this video in contrast with other CG videos on RU-vid here. It is also a lighter shade of scarlet compared to the UK's Household Division and on a bright sunny day your fabric reflects light to give a weird orange-like glow. I know cause I have witnessed that with my own eyes standing next to one of you when I served in Ottawa and Montreal 2 decades or so ago. As conservative as the British Army is they are still using real Canadian bearskins recognizing the bears were shot as a matter of population control and weren't killed for the sake of making those bearskins. I'm surprised DND or your units weren't more enlightened.
@Ryan You can see in that documentary that their new tunic was in fact in a darker shade not a lighter shade. My buddy was an official supplier to the UK's MOD and he's told me that pipers of the Scots Guards in fact use a specially made and darker shade of the Royal Stewart tartan for their kilts and trews as opposed to the regular RS tartan kilts used by the Black Watch, the Royal Scots and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards for the same reason. Not sure if videos show. I was in many many parades many many moons before on the hill in Ottawa and I was thinking exactly WTF why were your tunics orange.
@@AviationAddict69 Yes that is correct. The Officers' trousers now are cut like Other Ranks trousers, and I suspect this might have something to do with the idea that Canadian Ceremonial Guards officers never ride on parade thus given somebody the wrong notion that their trousers have no need to be cut tight like riding trousers. As well, the break of their legs aren't tailored at an angle and that's why you see a bulge at the tip of the legs right above the boots which looks very unprofessional.
the same thing with whats happening in the british royal guards lol. guards before the 90s era and now look so contrast, now you can see fat and short guards the same with what i see in CG videos nowadays.. compared to this video, the guardsmen here definitely looks the same with guards in london back in the 80s, 70s, 60s era all looking like pure warriors with super fit body shape and all with the same height. the standards back then were immaculate
Mounties, everything! We need to do this again! I know that the guards are coming back up and that slowly ceremony’s are happening more and more with the uk
True the president of Canada and Australia and Brittain and South Africa is the queen of England 🇬🇧 before India too used to be In the same condition but india took independence in 15th August 1947 !
That doesn't take account of the native peoples who were there first. The populations of the countries are an amalgam of the original & later inhabitants, the same applies to the UK! (ancient Britons onwards).
Mark well that this ceremony took place before the unification of the Armed Forces. The army salute is given longest way up, with the palm facing out. Much smarter and in keeping with Canadian history than the current practice (2023).
Yeah. Scotland or Ireland etc.... is identified by the symbol on the neck however the Guardsman still is loyal not to Scotland nor Ireland but to London.
@@BucyKalman Read history Bucky....namely, those responsible for the ripping out of the gutz and decimation of more regiments and units than any SS Panzer Corps in war could ever have dreamed of through the Unification of the then once elite 120,000 regular forces, and the over 60,000 reserves in a country of just one half of what we are now.
Hussar is not the sars bird flu is india. And westminstar. Guss is French Russ is German Russia is Guss in French the Germans make mistakes by not just G absence but by suffix in Russe while pretending to be French
