The Farmer's Boy/Soldiers of the Queen - Quick March of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment

The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (or PWRR, also known as 'the Tigers') is the senior English line infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Queen's Division, and second only in line infantry order of precedence to the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

Their Quick March is a composition of two old British army tunes; the first being, "The Farmer's Boy" and the second being "Soldiers of the Queen (or King when appropriate)". "The Farmer's Boy" is also the tune of the Royal Yeomanry. Parts of the tune also appear in Rangers F.C songs.

This version is performed by The Band of the Royal Corps of Signals.

"Soldiers of the Queen" is always a sweet tune. Patriotic and a bit of folk i think.

Almost impossible for these fine lads to live up to the valour of those that went before: Royal Sussex, Royal West Kent, the Surrey regiments, the Royal Hampshire’s and the Middlesex - they’re giving it a bloody good try though;)
