wain71 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 some great videos there, I have watched a lot of the ones guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier....I did a guard duty in London once when the Queen came through the City in a royal carriage, we lined the route, I also took part in a military parade in Berlin for the Queens birthday, that involved British, American and French soldiers, I felt very honoured to do both...I sometimes think that some people think these places and events are a bit of a joke and they did sometimes show us a lack of respect but mostly the public were very pleased to see us and cheer us on....Freedom marches around local Towns and my home City were also very proud moments...I'm English but the pipes and drums is an amazing sight and sound, full respect to them to.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be honored to serve your country as I was mine Wayne!!! I'm an American Scot my grandfather came to the US when he was 16. There are a large number Scottish people and pipe bands in the area. Nothing like a pipe band sends chills through one's body. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 the drummers in my regiment used to do a display, in complete darkness but their drumsticks glowed, looked amazing...and remember all these military bandsmen or on parade are firstly soldiers etc and can be called on at any time to go on active service... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
