Trooping The Colour 2020 M. B. Of The H. D. Triple Crown Quick March Pandemic Form At Windsor Castle

Sorry about the slight lag in the video This follows my previous video sequentially and it features the quick march the "Triple Crown" and some rare manoeuvers from the Massed Bands of the Household Division, inlcudin the spin wheel, which is the military equivalent of the three-point turn, where those in formation must change direction without changing formation, e.g. they have to stay in a block-shape while rotating the shape in order to change direction. This formation is significant as, unlike virtually all others, there is no written instruction for it in any manuals whatsoever. This manoeuver is done to perfection purely out of experience and practice. It requires a lot of discipline (a bit more than the others) in order to get right. Remember, all members of the birthday parade must keep it running like clockwork so that it doesn't fall out of sync, or in other words, so that it doesn't throw everyone off. This even means that if any one member should faint, or pass out, on parade, everyone else keeps going like nothing happened. Speaking of which, they must faint to attention, or in other words, black out (1) completely on their face (probably breaking their nose or at least getting a pretty bloody one, which, either way, would hurt like crap), (2) with their feet in a triangle (like they would if they were standing at attention), (3) while simultaneously placing their gun next to them, and (4) putting their arms down to their side (depends on which side of their body they're holding their gun on), all while wearing that red tunic and bearskin hat, in the hot, hot sun, which melts the polish off of their shoes, which is, believe it or not, is the main reason they hate being out in the sun. Point being: VERY DISCIPLINED WORK. But that aside, enjoy these unique manoeuvers you do not see in every military across the world. I know the video is a bit laggy, but bear with me. I hope you enjoy.
