The Band of the Coldstream Guards providing musical support for Changing the Guard in Windsor on 20 June 2024.
The crowds were heavy in places. It was a sunny day with little wind, but there was a lot of noise from low-flying aeroplanes coming in to land at Heathrow Airport.
0:00 The band emerging from the barracks and marching up Sheet Street and round into the High Street on their way to Windsor Castle, leading the New Guard, playing "Arromanches" (Kelly) and then "Glorious Victory" (W.M.Kendall).
3:29 Hidden by the crowds at first, the band marching off the High Street and up Castle Hill towards the Quadrangle of the castle, leading the New Guard, still playing "Glorious Victory" (W.M.Kendall) and then the beginning of "Gladiators' Farewell" ("Abschied der Gladiatoren") (H.L.Blankenburg).
5:35 The band marching back down Windsor High Street, leading the Old Guard, playing "Colchester Castle" (Earl Brigham). I cut this off short and rapidly moved to a different location because once I'd found my filming position I was suddenly surrounded and jostled by about 30 enthusiastic, supervised small children!
7:01 The band, leading the Old Guard, marching further down Sheet Street and entering the barracks, playing "Punchinello" (William Rimmer), a march more commonly associated with brass bands than with military bands.
