Humble and Respectful Royal Marine Officer Makes a Surprise Visit

[bobsmith]

Love the way the Guardsman, instantly makes a sword salute to the Royal Marine veteran. These two gentleman are separated by decades in age and service but the respect between them is obvious and palpable.

[leehorrocks]

Generations apart but they are still brothers. The salute with the sword was beautiful and deserved for this decorated hero.
Makes me proud to be British!
The young man who stepped out of his way was brought up well too 👏

What alot of visitors don't realize is that the soldiers on duty are real trained and armed soldiers, and the horses are working service animals. Don't touch the horses. lots of respect to the veteran.

A serviceman or woman always recognises another who has served. It is great to see the mutual respect that so many civilians will never understand. Hats off to both of them.

[shirleyanneyoung]

That veteran has certainly earned every bit of respect. Many thanks for your service Sir. ❤❤❤

Love how the young Guard saluted the Veteran with his sword

Nice to see one of the Corps, I don't know how old this chap is, but I reckon he's younger than me.
I'm 70yrs old and joined the Royal Marines on my 18th birthday. I left the Corps after 10yrs in 1980 and 2yrs later the Falklands Conflict
started. I remember shedding tears as I watched them leave for the South Atlantic, I wished I was going with them.
Later on in the conflict I heard that 4 of my old oppo's who stayed in the RM's after I left, were killed in action. I cried buckets.
Rest in Peace my brothers in arms.

Please Note: The gentleman in the green beret [green lid] is not a Royal Marine Officer. He is a Royal Marine [Boot neck [Bootie]. Royal Marine officer baret badges are different from Royal Marines. Respect to him and the service he has given to the United Kingdom. The Royal Marines are the only military branch to train their own officers. They don't trust Sandhurst!

[eugeneharrelson]

Much respect to the soldier on the horse. First the respect he showed to the veteran. Second for controlling the horse. The tourists have know idea what respect is.

[timcubison]

All due respect to the Royal Marine officer he has done his Country proud with his service and bravery. It was great to see the mutual respect from both the Trooper and the Royal Matine

[deborahriley]

That was a beautiful interaction between the two soldiers. You could see the respect and pride that each had for the other.

[hedgewitch]

Such a splendid display of mutual respect.

[notwocdivad]

Brothers in Arms ! Ages change, Faces change, but the Heart of a British soldier NEVER CHANGES!! THEY ALL BEAT AS ONE!!

[CallumConolly]

I have never seen a royal guard talk to somebody this is amazing ❤

Reminds me of my Passing out Parade back in 78 the whole family came down to see it as they do, I was in the same Regiment on the Trooper on the Horse, my Grand Father was there, when they found out that he fought in the First war and at the Somme he was treated like a VIP by everybody including the Officers I was more proud of him than they were of me made my day sadly he passed away about 3 years later, they found a bullet the tip of a bayonet and bits of shrapnel in him just before he died when he had a Scan, no one knew he never mentioned it, don't make them like that anymore.

[dougscrivens]

Brothers at arms. Maximum respect to both.

[Chatty_crafter]

There it is, the respect that military men and women have for each other and military personal past. That very slight salute to a veteran was golden, and that veteran appreciated it. Also note the distance between him and the horse. How absolutely wonderful.

[dustyray]

There's a word for men like that, SIR!!!

[Recknoknight]

I always love watching these kinds of videos; Where older veterns meet with younger military and are treated with utmost respect. Something about nationalism just makes me happy.
People being respectful towards those that quite literally fought for what and where they are now. No matter the country.

[sandielindemeyer]

The sword salute was a very regal acknowledgement to the Veteran. The group that was there dressed in 1930’s fashion we’re very cool too!!!
