American Couple Reacts: Beating The Retreat March from Barracks! Royal Marines! FIRST TIME REACTION!

We had heard of Beating the Retreat but never seen it or knew what it was. This was SO wonderful and we couldn't keep the smiles off our faces the entire time! The Royal Marines are absolutely incredible!! Smash that Like button for the Military! Drop us a comment if you enjoy these videos as much as we do. It's that pomp & Ceremony the British do so well! Thanks for watching and for your support! God Bless All of our Allies!

I'm 18 years deep UK infantry and I'm not ashamed to say nobody does the drums better than the UK Marines, Those men handle a rifle just as well when needed and are always humble. Top blokes.

Remembrance Day is actually on 11/11. We have remembrance Sunday where we have parades, it's the closest Sunday to the 11th.

As a Brit I'm very proud of the Marines and other services. So glad you're enjoying watching them marching.

I'm a former Royal Marine, and when you pass out of training, they have the Royal Marines Band there to march you on and off the parade ground and to perform while the Kings Squad performs a small drill display. Having them play sooo close is absolutely awesome and always sends a tingle down the spine. (And glad you girls like them) P.S. Did you know the Royal Marines Band played the introduction to Gerry Anderson's 1960's Thunderbirds show? Listen to that if you want a bit of a thrill :) ) Have a most excellent day now.

I have many vetrans in my family, but the one that gets me the most is my grandads dad. He was a first mate in the royal navy and was blown up by a German bomb in ww2. My great grandma who I'm named after was pregnant with my grandad at that time and already had two young boys. he was only 30 when he died and never got to see my grandad before he died, my heart brakes for my grandma for having two boys and being pregnant and loosing her husband and for my grandad for never even being held by his father. He has never complained or really even mentioned it, but I remember after doing our family tree showing him the ship his dad served on, some photos I've found and when I showed his his cremates he chocked up which kills me until this day. What our servicemen and women do and their families sacfrice should never be forgotten. I am incredibly proud of my great grandad for saving our country from tyranny.

After 36 years service, I left in 2020... I still get chills when my brothers and sisters are on parade. The absolute best.

I have to be biased because I'm British but our forces are some of the finest in the world it also makes me proud to have allies with our american brothers and sisters.🇬🇧💗🇺🇸

Proud to have served in the British Royal Marines Band from 1984-1994 ❤🇬🇧

My 2 grandfathers served in the Royal Marines in WW2 and members of both Paternal & Maternal family served with the Marines going back to at least the begining of the last Century. And nobody does it better than the Royal Marines.

I am 81 now, but have aching memories of marching behind these wonderful guys. I could have marched for ever! I still watch them whenever I can and, although I also love our other military bands, I think these musicians are the best in the world. Since you were upset that the video came to an end, there is a video on Youtube which shows the whole ceremony of Beating the Retreat, which I am sure you would enjoy. Mind you, it is over and hour long! Just imagine performing that in the heat of the day as well. Awesome. Thank you for your love and respect.

It's a shame so many young in our country are no longer proud to be British! We were brought up to be proud of our country , respect our royal family, and be respectful to all .

I am British but have lived abroad (In the Americas) for the last 23 years.... But my heart still swells with pride to see these events...the sheer dedication and professionalism of these people never ceases to amaze me. The Royal Marines are simply at another level. To march like this and co-ordinate a 90° turn with aplomb into a narrower street...(WITH TRAFFIC ISLANDS....for heavens sake!) and ......Not miss a beat whilst doing so..... Such skill.....it is truly on another level....marching ten abreast, whilst playing a musical instrument...... Just....just Brilliant. And they are the same in combat...... coordinated.... skillful.... Truly proud to be British....to the core.

Thank you so much for those beautiful comments we love you guys too..always stronger together...for me the greatest generation ever.. were those British,American,Canadian,Australian, New Zealand and many other nations who stormed the beaches of Normandy...for our tomorrows,, God bless you!!

The Royal marine Band is the best military band in the world. Bar none!.

As a former Royals Marines Commando" Bootneck" We are all very proud of our "Bandies" We are all part of The Corps of His Majesty's Royal Marines. Which is broken down into HM Bandservice Royal Marines, HM Corps of drums Royal Marines, and the fighting arm of the Corps, HM Royal Marines Commandos. The members of the bandservice do undertake military training as well as their musical training, after successfully completed this they can apply for Commando selection and win The coverted Green Beret. I really enjoy your enthusiasm when you are reviewing military content. Par Mare Par Terram.

My brother was in air force he loved every thing about it . I am from uk and proud of my country..Love he videos .

The Royal Marines , as always perfection

We are so proud of our country 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Ladies, your Love and Respect not only for our Military but our Country as a whole, is to be truly applauded and would put one or two of our own To Shame. There are some very good videos available on YT that shows the selection process that young men have to go through to become a Royal Marine. 32 Weeks of sheer Grit and determination, well worth a watch 😊💞
