Holyrood Palace Royal Guards, The Royal Regiment of Scotland 

The reason for the blue shirt is that it's an indication of them being a higher-ups rank. Brown shirts are usually worn by PVT LCpl Cpl and Sgt (e.g., officers, etc)

Thank you

How are they heroes just for putting on a uniform? What do you call a guy who throws himself on a grenade?

@@penultimateh766 I'm one of them 40 years too. Yes, they too are hero's. How about Helicopter medics too? Did you serve?

@@NormanSilver Heck yes I'm a veteran, nine years, which is why I don't presume to call myself a "hero" like people that won valor awards like the MOH or Victoria cross and literally threw their lives at the enemy to save their friends.

@@penultimateh766 Point well take How about Journalist Al Gore getting a Combat Infantry Badge?

@@NormanSilver That happened??

They do both.

Permitted since earlier this year. Not too little. Not too much.

yep allowed in meantime but course any conflict where respirators could be required, all beards come off

I think the order "right wheel" was issued by the officer carrying the colour. None the less, it should have been "left wheel".

The command was “Colour Party, by the centre left wheel”.

@@keijomattinen5447 No the colour doesn’t order that command . You can see the lips from the swordsman directing the command.

@@erniearruda8861 ernie, by “swordsman” do you mean the Officer commanding the parade with sword drawn? He gives the command to march on the colour. The officer, the Ensign, carrying the colour and thus in command of the Colour Party responds “Sir”. The parade commander orders “Present Arms”. The Ensign orders “Quick March” then the controversial Left/Right Wheel, then “Halt” and “Present Arms”. The parade commander orders “Slope Arms”. I’ve listened a few times at various volumes. I understand why some hear the command as “Right Wheel” but the Sergeant Major in the rear of the Colour Party doesn’t bat an eyelash. If the Ensign had mistakenly called “Right” the S/M would have assuredly roared “Left, Sir”.

Looking marvellous 😊

Im not sure there is a rule against having women in this regiment (as far as I know) it could be that their just so happened not to be any amongst this group (this isn’t the entire regiment obviously) or perhaps due to it being a parade of some kind they want everyone to look the same/be around the same height. I thought the guards at Buckingham palace did that but again I’m not sure
