Brought a little tear to my eye. brought back my marching out parade at RAF Swinderby in 1969 and being very tall I was right guard so my platoon and the two behind me, were all dependent on me keeping a straight line, but someone had parked a van, so I could not see the corner of the hanger my drill instructor had told me to line up with a white pole and a flag for that very purpose. By the time we got to where he halted us, I had swung the whole squadron about 3 metres to the right. I will never forget his swearing and cursing me under his breath as we stood to attention. Thankfully, after boot camp, I can't really recall the 5 years I stayed in, ever having to march like that again. Good thing I did not join the 'Rock Apes' i.e. these RAF Regiment guys were very good, especially it was not on a flat and wide parade ground but in a confined space, with the public having to be controlled and it was quite noisy. Like me using the corner of a hanger to march straight, their timing provided by the music as one unit has to be absolutely perfect. If just one of them makes a mistake (as I did) it can put the rest of the sequence out of order, so they would have practised that routine many times over and not where they actually did it. I was crap at marching but seeing those young men being that good, made me feel very proud to have served in the RAF which greatly changed me for the better and that we still have young people who felt as I did, wanted to defend our country. Back in my days the adverts' said "Join for the sport, comradeship and adventure" but my recruiting officer did not make it very clear, it was a job you may have to put your life on the line for. As an Aerial Photographic Operator was tasked one day to be sitting with my legs hanging out of a Success helicopter, with a great big camera strapped to my chest, which had been used in WW2. I had to press a button to film us passing by bushes on a cliff face in Cyprus that might be hiding Turkish Cypriot arms caches. To my absolute horror, found a machine gun firing at the helicopter I was in, I literally shat my self and was so grateful the pilot pulled off and we went back to Akrotiri airport. My point all those young men now, do not have the soft job I mainly had, which was processing and printing aerial photos back in England. They will be guarding RAF personnel, equipment and planes that often can now be in obscure parts of the world where they will be facing non-regular military personnel i.e. terrorists. That very high level of marching display showed so well they can work together in a very efficient way. All my respect and admiration.

I have a military background & when bayonets were attached, that meant no prisoners would be taken. I blustered with pride!! My pride in being a part of the separated United Kingdom of the world, I felt such humility. I remembered how much the Kingdom is prolific in the peace of our planet. Kill them all!! Kill all enemy's of the Kingdom!!! If ur an Enemy unto the Crown, you are an enemy of the USA

thank you for filming this for us and well lads RAF IT WAS GREAT!!!!
Amazing. RIP her majesty. We won't see her like again.
As a very proud mum of one of them, I have watched them many times and (being totally unbiased !) they are faultless every time. Well done lads, our active military and veterans are not appreciated or respected enough in this country. A sad reflection of our current society and times…….
Imagine you were a visitor to this country, stepped off the train at Liverpool Street and were greeted by this. ;)
Some wud think it's a norm for visitors to get that treatment
Probably think "I passed through customs fine please dont shoot me!"
You'd think you were entering a nation of a totalitarian dictators.
Wot, you mean this doesn't happen every day...
I think that would be the most exciting thing that I could imagine.
My goodness! And well did she deserve this tribute. She is sorely missed. Epitome of correctness and loyalty. Always got on with the job even in the midst of dreadful family embarrassments which were no fault of hers. Rest in peace.
to paraphrase mel brooks.. - its good to be the queen
I think the Princess Royal is a lot like her mum: Get on with the job, no fuss...very stalwart
You can't beat our RAF always looking smart and polished.
Having served in the RAF myself, I can't help feeling a tinge of pride, as I watch these lads doing what they do best. The Queen's Colour Squadron, the finest drill display team in the world!
They were really good however, I will have to disagree with you. They pale in comparison to the USMC Silent Drill Team.... and as a drill team they should be carrying the greatest British rifle ever made the Lee-Enfield SMLE MkIII... those SA-80s suck as a both a drill rifle and a combat rifle...
@@terrychatfield6671 The SA80 is a fine rifle for drill and combat, she's a beauty in my opinion
@@terrychatfield6671 Yes, The President's Own, 8th and I Street, Washington DC 💕
U should be proud that use to be u. Thanku for serving us all xxx
Thank you for your kind comments Rachel. I appreciate what you say. Take care and God bless you. @@Rachel-ig2uq
Great precision drills. U can tell for these soldiers it’s about queen and country. Dedication and pride and a job well done.
That was so special for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you from South Africa 🇿🇦
I am an American anglophile and my heart bursts with pride to see this.
A spectacular display! The precision and timing was magnificent to watch! A wonderful presentation by the RAF to celebrate Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II birthday! Well Done RAF!!
Thank you to the lady that filmed this so that the people who couldn't stand and watch and the people that couldn't be there could see it. Well done to the flash mob.
Thank you Helen.
I loved this!

My son retires from the R.A.F this month. He's had such a good life and we thank all for taking care of him. Wishing the boys in blue all the best. X
This is a wonderful way to acknowledge the Queen's birthday and those that were there were treated with this fine display. Love how Great Britain shows the world class and dignity. Love all the uniforms etc. Carry on.
What a wonderful piece. We are British. Not EU. I do not want our people under EU command. Thank god we are leaving. A wonderful display. I wonder how many UK citizens and tourists that day had a smile on their faces after seeing that?! 👍🇬🇧
May Her Majesty rest with the angels. She more than earned it.
No one in the world does ceremony and millatary like us! Long live the Queen!!!!
Thankyou for posting this my Dad and Grandad and an Uncle were in the RAF Grandad was in the Battle of Britain WW11 my Dad and Uncle in Signals during the height of the Cold War - so proud of them and even prouder to be a RAF Brat. Thank you so much for posting will share with my Dad he's 85 now and will be absolutely chuffed to see this. ❤🇬🇧
thank you for this. I hope your grandad enjoyed it. grandads are ace. mine would have been 103 last monday....
Totally AWESOME RAF!!! Very impressive MILITARY,I know ENGLAND 🇬🇧is very proud !!! 😍😍😍🇺🇲🇺🇲👏👏👏💞💞
As ex WRAF I have to say I was proud to see the display those RAF Regiment boys put on.
As a Canadian accidentally :) born in the US to Canadian Parents in 1953 this brought both a "Stiff Upper Lip" and tears. Dad, United Empire Loyalist Heritage, Mom, Irish American German Heritage. Respect
Thank you to all our Commonwealth brothers who stepped up to help us in our hour of need.
Love, love, love it as simple as that, proud to be BRITISH. That's why we are what we are and don't let anyone take it away.
Nobody does it better than us. God bless Mrs Queen.
Amen to that
What's not to love?! Those are our protectors. God Bless the RAF and all of our Forces. I thought that they did a splendid and flawless display. Only wish that I'd been there.
I love an RAF drill display anytime! My dad served with the RAF as a chaplain after a short spell as an airman.
Brought a little tear to my eye. brought back my marching out parade at RAF Swinderby in 1969 and being very tall I was right guard so my platoon and the two behind me, were all dependent on me keeping a straight line, but someone had parked a van, so I could not see the corner of the hanger my drill instructor had told me to line up with a white pole and a flag for that very purpose. By the time we got to where he halted us, I had swung the whole squadron about 3 metres to the right. I will never forget his swearing and cursing me under his breath as we stood to attention. Thankfully, after boot camp, I can't really recall the 5 years I stayed in, ever having to march like that again. Good thing I did not join the 'Rock Apes' i.e. these RAF Regiment guys were very good, especially it was not on a flat and wide parade ground but in a confined space, with the public having to be controlled and it was quite noisy. Like me using the corner of a hanger to march straight, their timing provided by the music as one unit has to be absolutely perfect. If just one of them makes a mistake (as I did) it can put the rest of the sequence out of order, so they would have practised that routine many times over and not where they actually did it. I was crap at marching but seeing those young men being that good, made me feel very proud to have served in the RAF which greatly changed me for the better and that we still have young people who felt as I did, wanted to defend our country. Back in my days the adverts' said "Join for the sport, comradeship and adventure" but my recruiting officer did not make it very clear, it was a job you may have to put your life on the line for. As an Aerial Photographic Operator was tasked one day to be sitting with my legs hanging out of a Success helicopter, with a great big camera strapped to my chest, which had been used in WW2. I had to press a button to film us passing by bushes on a cliff face in Cyprus that might be hiding Turkish Cypriot arms caches. To my absolute horror, found a machine gun firing at the helicopter I was in, I literally shat my self and was so grateful the pilot pulled off and we went back to Akrotiri airport. My point all those young men now, do not have the soft job I mainly had, which was processing and printing aerial photos back in England. They will be guarding RAF personnel, equipment and planes that often can now be in obscure parts of the world where they will be facing non-regular military personnel i.e. terrorists. That very high level of marching display showed so well they can work together in a very efficient way. All my respect and admiration.
Well done! 👍
@wakeup3860 I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for your country. And to let you know I would have been terrified to have done your job. 😲😳🥺 I'm ok with being in a plane (not a helicopter), but I cannot imagine hanging out the side of one taking pictures!! 🎞🎥📷🛩🚁 And also wanted to let you know that I am from Florida in the United States. I have a Huge Respect for the military, especially those who are fighting for their country, their lives and their families. My grandfather, father and older brother all served in the army. Thank you again for your service. My apologies for such a long response and sending you many blessings
Well Done! Thank you for posting the video! My Father served in the RAF and immigrated to the US in the mid fifties. I hope that our "special relationship" can endure with the UK!
Bless Her Magesty. Xxxxxxxx From Wales. 🏴🏴🏴🍀
As a former airmen of Her Majesties Royal Air Force, this makes me so proud to watch. Always enjoyed the hearing the slap of the rifle during arms drill. Well done lads "PER ARDUA AD ASTRA" and God save our glorious queen
A salute too from a former WRAF.
Thank you for your service Sir.
I may not be from your country, as I am an American, but thank you for your service. Sometimes I find y'all a bit weird, to be honest, but y'all are still awesome
I'm just a teenager BTW I KNOW YOUR WEAKNESS
AMEROCA ₱+₱+ yeah
The precision is mind-blowing. You could just make out the 90. A wonderful and beautiful tribute to the Queen. And now that it's April and her 95th. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
OMG👏👏👏👏👏 That was incredible. Perfectly executed, I'm so proud to be British🇬🇧🇬🇧 Thank you.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I've only got two words to say about this ... BLOODY BRILLIANT!
Fantastic display
Same surname? Xxxxxxxx
My dad, my uncles, and my cousin all served in the RAF........he always said their drill was second to none....... I miss them all, this makes me so proud of their service
As a Londoner living in New Zealand, it was wonderful to see these guys marching and brought me alot of nostalgia. Great stuff.👏👏👏👏
Salute from your cousins across the Pond!! I have had the privilege and honor to train, work and fight alongside many of our mutual allies, including Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and I love the way you still have that "Old School" flair and polish when marching!! Love that very English sense of humor too!!! #RESPECT!!!
I agree wholeheartedly❤️ and Thank You For You Service Sir! From a very grateful US citizen 🤗💕

@@bobbybigboyyes That's a hell of a good vid. Beat them twice! Good job they can take a joke like the German's do!
So proud to watch our lads, they are the best in the world for drilling. Well done.
Even though this was 5 years ago, it is very impressive. It makes you proud to stand for freedom. What an honor for them to celebrate Her Majesty's birthday by doing this show for the people. Hoo hah!
❤❤❤❤ j'aime l'Inglaterre ils donnent le meilleur ♥️♥️♥️💖 pour son pais 💗♥️♥️💖
Really well performed. Notice there was no one directing them. I was in the WRAF stationed at Jurby and the RAF came to do the "beating of the retreat" 1963/64 the RAF were perfect in those days. I shed a few tears to see this type of marching again, with lots more moves. Cheers RAF.
Having been in the military myself I can appreciate the hours of practicing it would have taken to be able to make it look so seamless. Well done to these airmen, a very cool tribute
I grew up in the RCAF and spent 4 years in West Germany, 1967-1971
Jurby! Crikey I know the Isle of man well.
Loved.😊😊😊.
So very proud of our armed forces, they too a real hero's. God bless you all, on land, sea and air. 💖
Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Absolutely marvellous.
Love the Squaddy looking on and then realising he'll spend his next flight on Ryan Air. Kudos to the RAF.
Why have I only just seen this four years later? How did I miss it??? Wonderful stuff!! *patriotic tears* - they had better start practising, and do something for Her Maj’s platinum celebration next year!! Good willing and all that! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
LOVED the flash mob celebration for Her Majesty The pomp and ceremony can only be done by the British, and boy did they do an absolute terrific rendition Loved the whole routine 💓🌻
Wow wonderful thank you so much for you service to our country
Although this was several years ago it was nice to watch it again. We are the best in any ceremonial circumstance and the RAF never fail to provide. A great display of drill and arms control and it was wonderful to hear the crowd cheer and applause for a very commendable and warm celebration for our glorious Queen.
Well said & seconded! Yes i'm a goth & love my "alternative " music & dress. But when it comes to pomp & circumstance, my beloved country does it best. I've been to the Edinburgh Festival 3 times to watch the Tattoo. The most amazing spectacle. Made me feel humbled & very proud to see our men & women of the British Forces, the Pipes & Drums, the history & the lone piper, put a lump in my throat the size of a beach ball. So yes. God bless England & our Queen. 👑❤
Absolutely BRILLIANT. What a fantastic, faultless performance. Loved it. Proud to be British. ,😊
How utterly brilliant! From Tasmania, Australia! Love it!!
Slick, slick slick...Brilliant RAF. Well done!
They make me feel so proud. God bless all who serve and have served❤️
Excellent show! No screaming and shouting like other armed bodies of men to "motivate" themselves. Just a disciplined squad doing what they were trained to do with no fuss. What more do we need? I would trust them. Soon enough we will all need to. Well done.
Being prior military I have known Drill& Ceremony. This takes a ton of practice and dedication. Good show guys! And God Save the Queen!
I expect it instils discipline, working together as a well oiled machine, concentration and focus. All necessary in battle situations. This is not done purely for show, but for physical skill and concentration. Teamwork which is needed in con flict situations. Well done guys. You are superb. My dad had 2 brothers killed in WW1. He never knew them as he was born in 1913. My mum had 2 brothers in WW2. One a gunner on Russion convoys. Torpedoed and woke in a Russian hospital and said they were treated as heroes. The other was badly injured at ElAlamein. Both survived but long gone now.
I enjoy watching precise drills like this. It absolutely amazes me that everything is so well done.

This is a thrill to watch! I'm American, but I always loved Queen Elizabeth.
Bloody brilliant. Proud to be British.
The British are without a doubt the "Best" when it comes to the ceremony. Their class, decorum, discipline is top notch. After all, they have been doing this for a thousand years or more. Absolutely magnificent. Her Majesty must be proud as punch, (as this was for her 90th Birthday.)
Thank you sir, from an RAF veteran.
The British are the best at quite a lot of things, and the RAF are the oldest and the best air force in the world. I doubt if the Queen saw this particular performance.
Check out this video of when the RAF nuked America TWICE!! kzhead.info/sun/YLuxZtKoq2ZoZJs/bejne.html
I was in the crowd at the time and I thought it was absolutely fantastic! I'm very grateful to whoever posted this as a record of the event. The first (and final) march was "Eagle Squadron". Then followed by the "RAF" and "Luftwaffe" marches from the film "Battle of Britain.
David Bradley so glad you liked it. I managed to work out the best place to stand by speaking with the organizers. I got lucky!!
@@kathrynmcmillan6771 thank you so much.
@@madhatter909 thank you x
the second march was 633 Squadron from the film of the same name
@@farodealer'Sorry, Katherine. 'Fraid not! David Bradley was - more or less - right. (He's not the actor, is he?) The second one was the 'official' Battle of Britain March from the film of the same name. (I've got the soundtrack......)
Excelente súper gracias por compartirlo saludos desde mi país Uruguay
Absolutely effortless superb everything and everyone's times fantastic God save the queen
Good God this makes me so proud to be British and an ex RAF Cadet. God bless you all.
A big thank you to Britain's military, to all people who have been, will be and are in the military. You make Britain proud
Thank you for that beautiful march. It was really great. That was a great tribute to Queen for her 90th birthday. .

I wish I'd been there to see that. Wonderful. A big thank you to all of our armed services people. We appreciate all you do.
Love a man in uniform.. this took a lot of practice.. I'm so impressed 👍🎉🎈 beautifully done 😊
This is Awesome. Thank you v much for sharing, your works/efforts is much appreciated. I wish you well/healthy. Have a lovely day.
I had no idea the RAF could do these drills, and with such perfection.
you are correct only the RAF Regiment does drill to this level the rest of the RAF are well shall we say nothing to be kind
Lovely to see! Also the respect shown by the passengers as these guys saluted Her Majesty!
Absolutely love it! My son is in the RAF - proudest Mum ❤️
When I was doing my trade training (Supp-A) at RAF Hereford in summer 1973, we had quite a lot of parades & high-ranking visitors. The music we marched to was provided by the RAF Apprentices band. They could play 2 tunes. The RAF march and I'll Haily & The Comets' Rock Around the Clock. Yes, that song IS a march! 😂😂
Blessings from USA. This was amazing! God watch over you all.
It was great to see and hear so many onlookers appreciating them
My Granddad was in the RAF in Malta during WW2 I think he would be impressed with these Gentlemen.
Absolutely brilliant. Would have loved to have experienced this in person. Very proud watching this.
I agree with you. In person experience is the best.

Amazing precision. It does remind me of something a friend (retired USAF and Army) said: "You know what it means when the Air Force affixes bayonets? 'Dinnertime!'"
Fabulous - my dad did over 30 years in the Royal Air Force, so proud of all the boys in blue ( all service men and women actually!).
All those fine young men! Nice bit of eye-candy for us ladies! God Bless our service men and women 💕
Peaches And Cream. You know those young girls are looking.
Having spent 15years in the RAF I know the training these guys go thru. It takes hours of practice day day out. I have the upmost Repect. For them.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Its the first time I have seen this video. I was mesmerised. The timing of the squadron was amazing. British forces are simply the best 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing. 💞🌟🕊🌺💯
AMAZING, our armed forces are fantastic and aren't appreciated nearly as much as they should be. HUGE HUGE thank you to all the British armed forces you are all amazing people. Was great seeing such a fantastic flashmob dedicated to our Queens 90th birthday by such amazing people
I grew up with a dad in the (US) Navy and we took my whole 3rd grade class to a military performance, not unlike this. It was way more intense and exciting, but it was also a huge performance by at least a thousand people. This just reminded me of that fond childhood memory.
The Battle of Britain music seriously amps this up! We miss you your majesty.
No one does it better than us Brits. Well done guys
My Dad would of been in tears watching this, he would of been so proud.
We need to be proud as a nation and respect and admire that people in the services have given so much so.
Thanx for this nice vid. Well done drills by RAF men. I like their blue-grey uniforms, in fact our own Uruguayan air force (FAU) men sport same colour --and most air forces do so elsewhere. Saludos!
What amazes me is the people walking nonchalantly past like nothing is happening. I would love to have been there to see this. Fantastic.
Rest in peace your Majesty, your loyal dominion of Canada mourns the commonwealths loss.
These guys stopped my base being mortered in Afghanistan. This is a serious fighting unit. As you can imagine, when someone saves your arse you build a lot of respect. Oh yeh, and they are good at drill.

don't be such a politically correct bore...........beat me but don't bore me and yes...I'm a friggin American! and proud.
Barbara Hallinan Scots might not leave they did vote no
Very crisp precise marching, must have been hours and hours of drill to have perfected that. I wouldn't mind betting every young man there wanted to be one of them and every old man wished he had those young days back again.
I love the fact that everyone moves out of their way as they March through the place.
MAKES ME VERY PROUD TO BE BRITISH
