The Changing of Guards Ceremony - Ottawa 2017 

TheNavalNation thanks! Hope you can share (:

who were you haha i was there too

That's almost Trouping the Colours

The one at 18:00 is called Snow on Schiehallion

The one at 00:00 is viscount nelson

Pipers at 33:50 are playing "The Brown Haired Maiden".

when I did this in 2019 I knew every bloody song by heart, by your 50th -60th parade of the same thing you stand there as a soldier and hum along to every one, luckily they changed the songs up day to day.

What are you smoking?

@@Pius-XIur butt hairs ... mhhh

It's called snow on schiehallion

Oh yeah... look at that arm wave. Bet they had practice after.

Evan Watson Not the British unit.

I believe these are the Governor General's Foot Guards and the Canadian Grenadier Guards, if you're asking about the specific units

@@tomasjakovac7950 Yep, they are The Foot Guards.

It's the ceremonial guard. Made up of the Canadian Grenadiers and the Governor Generals foot guards. The two house hold regiments in Canada. They're reservists and mainly students.

The Changing of the Guard refers to the alternating divisions (Guards' term for platoons) that stand sentry duty at Government House-residence of the Governor General. The ceremony on Parliament Hill is a grand scale ceremonial representation of this, modelled on the original ceremony carried out at Buckingham Palace. The Bands march off back to the Cartier Square drill hall. What this video doesn't show is the New Guard marching down to Byward Market to board buses to Government House where they will stand guard for the rest of the day.

@@chriscrilly8807 - As a 36 year military veteran, I still say it is not a "changing" of the guards. It is a "Guards Parade". They do a great job, but they are not "changing" the guard. They are not "replacing" anyone. That's what I think, sorry.....

rotating the batch of those who are on duty, guarding

@@LanielPhoto They are actually guarding at Rideau Hall in alternance but they do the changing of the guard in front of the parliament because it is more public than Rideau Hall. But in Rideau there are guards all the day.

@@chriscrilly8807 - Thank you for the info.

Too bad Amerians don't know how to march.

@@keithpeterson5127 Jealous much

@@keithpeterson5127 British are the one's that don't know how to march

@@keithpeterson5127 No need to march in a fancy way when you know you've got the biggest stick in the neighborhood.

Vive la Reine Céline!

British history is part of our history, and some of of us are still proud of that regardless of more recent fads.

@@crazyteenagers Not really.

​@@Pius-XI obviously you know nothing about Canada's history if you don't acknowledge these facts of the connection between Canada and Britain. The Canadian army used to be part of the british imperial forces before Canada became independent. Also, Canada and the UK share the same Monarch King Charles III.

@@stgr0186 Canada and history and not two words I'd put together. 🤣

do yourself and everybody else a favour and read a fucking history book... how do you not even know your own countries history? please wipe your ass before you blow more shit out of it

Harry Smith some basic punctuation and correct grammar would suit you well Harry. It is country’s not countries you dumb ass.

Nathan Graf Please do us a favour, and fuck off. Thank you :) Foutre le camp, S'il vous plaît. Merci :)

Nathan Graf Dont change the topic, admit it you’re an absolute dumbass and have no idea about any sort of history

@@nathanpgraf AH my bad, regardless of the spelling it does not change the fact you were dropped as a child!
