Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace 

Rare in the uk. Video might be fake

With the world’s tallest drum major.

An honour to have them here.

What was the point of the “🇺🇸”

@@Themapleleaforever uh that’s where I’m from, and showing some love from the US.

@@FFEMTB08 You could of done 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

Must be difficult to march at shoulder arms, the movement of hip right against the rifle could knock it loose.

@@fasteddie406 Nope. It's no problem at all. Done it for hours and it's comfortable ((changing sides from time-to-time, of course) You firmly grip the rifle at the grip. The hand grip is behind the magazine so there is nothing to get in the way (Weirdly, the current British infantry rifle as the magazine BEHIND the grip. How the hell do they hold those to shoot with the magazine pushing on your hand?) Anyway, this is not a new idea and Canadians have been marching like that since about 1960. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ofW5c8d-dh0.html Historically, that is the way Brown Bess muskets were carried for over a hundred years ... just like that sans the hand grip and inside the left armpit, not the right as default.

@@abrahamdozer6273 Rifle has a short stock so still held in same way as it fits into shoulder well, and left hand under barrel. In fact the mag been so far back means you are better position firing in the prone as it is directly under your elbow arch.

@@fasteddie406 Is it any good?

@@abrahamdozer6273 5.56 rather than the 7.62 of the SLR so less stopping power and the original version was not squaddie proof(easy to break) but in Northern Ireland on patrol it was far easier to work with, entering buildings/vehicles etc without getting caught on door or curtains as you swing round,plus the strap system meant hands free so good when reading documents/I.D.s you could rest it down your hip. Newer version with upgrades I have not used but is meant to be far improved.

Are you sure that the first march is called Westering Winds? I can't find it on RU-vid :(

@@leonardwaga not completely sure, but i think so.

the first march is invercargill there is a march they sometimes play called westward winds which is a march one of their trombone players wrote but its not in this video

Sometimes, drum majors from different Guard Regiments help each other’s band. For example, A Grenadier Guardsman Drum Major may helps out the Band of the Scots Guards.

Modified due to the stage set up on the forecourt

It was October so was probably still cold
