We always marched fast in the battalion (1RGJ) it was faster than 140ppm. I'd be interested in other battalions pace too.

The swagger and movement are incredible. I am unsure if my father was present in this video, but it's how I remember the band n bugles of the 3rd battalion light infantry.

I was in Gibraltar, when I saw the last British Battalion ( 3RGJ) do the final parade, before handing over to the Gibraltar Regiment. It was superb drill, and I, an Old Soldier was very proud.

I remember when I joined up way back in 1971 and the first time I saw the band on the parade square at Peninsula Barracks Winchester it was my first proper day of my 14 week training I thought how the hell do they march that fast, its only when they get you on the square and some big arse Sgt Major starts shouting and you are the only name he knows as he had served with my father I can tell you ,,,, you soon frigin learn but they were the best years of my life

Hi Kenny, Your dad was my Bugle Major in 3 RGJ in 1985 when I joined the battalion. He was a great man and seemed to take all us young lads under his wing and shape us in to the fine men we all became. It was a honour to have known him. I hope you are all ok.

When I hear the Bugles, the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and I get a little excited. I had an office for a while that looked out on to the Band Parade Square at Sir John Moore Barracks so I got to hear the rehearsals, brilliant. "Bugle Major, sound the advance!"

Coming to this astounding drill video by accident some time ago - I thought, who are these guys? They take your breath away! Like many of you on this forum, I keep coming back for more! And, I thought the RAF Regiment and the Royal Marines were good? Not to mention the Jocks! But I have to say - this drill team was one of the best! God Bless them all! RIP to those no longer with us - your legacy lives on.
