Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery Full Performance - Royal Norfolk Show 2017 

The CO here is Maj Jim Luck

WOW. WONDERFUL. EXTREME AMAZING SOLDIERS ❤❤❤

Richard Cleveland there used to be an annual display of military skills called the Royal Tournament, held at the end of July. It lasted a week, and was held at Earl’s Court Arena in London. Each Service (RN, Army, RAF) took it in turns to be the “host” service, and there would always be a foreign guest unit. Some elements were always in: the Royal Navy Field Gun competition (the most insane obstacle race you’ve ever seen), massed bands and this, King’s Troop RHA Musical Ride. You feel the stands shake under your feet as these limbers and guns thunder by, incredible. I think I was 4 when I first went. But, then, Tony Blair didn’t like tradition, pageantry or anything which would give the Armed Forces any feeling of respect among us civvies, so he stopped the Tournament, and sent our forces ff to sandy places where they couldn’t offend his wife’s leftie sensibilities!

That's a great pity. Ceremony is something that the British military is so good at - SO good that there isn't a runner-up!

Richard Cleveland I suggest you look up the RN Field Gun race, they still hold it annually, and the results of each race are beamed to all ships. Sailors have lost fingers deliberately when they stick a finger in to replace a missing locking pin for wheels in the gun carriage or limber so their team doesn’t lose. Insane.

@@keithorbell8946 I was under the impression the gun run was no more sad to say.. Highlight of any tournament...

Roy Hodgkinson I seem to remember they do a shortened version of it.

Watching The King's Troop Royal Artillery perform this amazing display always makes me tear up - the sheer power and discipline of horses and riders is overwhelming - the consequences of the smallest error would be catastrophic - and they know it.

Not Cleveland Bays….light Irish Draught crosses.

Such a good question ,

The hunting song, John Peel.

Ruth1988. Ruth, think it is the "March of the 7th Calvary "by Garry Owen, but not really sure.

Ruth there were more than one piece of music, one was Gary Owen which is a traditional Irish song adopted by the US 7th cavalry becoming there regimental march.

There are at least a dozen pieces of music arranged together, including Gary Owen, the Keel Row, the Post Horn Gallop, the Galloping Major and I forget the rest.

Starts off with Bonnie Dundee. Gary Owen is in there somewhere.Twenty One Today.Come lasses and lads.Galloping Major.Post horn gallop. Back to stables with John Peel.

Always Bonnie Dundee 1st.

The whips are short and light, and they MUST keep the dressing or it endangers everyone.

Long Range Snipers. And we occupy right of the line

Fuck off Canon Foder! 🖕 🇬🇧

Horrible person

And it's part of our SOPs, every 100 rounds drop two short, to keep the Infantry on their toes 😉😉😉

Keep crying Pajeet

Irrelevant.

Go disappear up your own arse you need mpty

Try it yourself, sweetie.
