This is footage I took of the Grenadier Guards "Black Sunday" (their annual remembrance day) parade on 19 May 2024. The parade included musical support comprising the Band of the Grenadier Guards, the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards Corps of Drums, and the Association Corps of Drums, and started and finished at Wellington Barracks in Birdcage Walk. The outbound march was to the Guards Memorial on Horse Guards Parade for a wreath-laying and short service, before the return march.
0:00 In advance of the main parade, a detachment of guards making their way through St James's Park towards Horse Guards Parade.
0:38 The parade, having set off from Wellington Barracks, marching along Birdcage Walk towards Horse Guards Road. The music is "First and Finest" (Dennis Burton MBE), and then "For Flag and Empire" played by the 2 Corps of Drums. Although there are visual obstructions at the beginning, I decided to retain most of this in order to keep as much as possible of the music.
4:46 The parade marching back down Horse Guards Road towards Birdcage Walk on their way to Wellington Barracks. The music is "The British Grenadiers", and then "Galanthia" played by the 2 Corps of Drums.
