It is.
I know how hard is to march in a straight line. Each time I watch it I'm fascinated by the way they turn the corner.
yes it's months and months of practice,they must really worry about going wrong...i love how some of the horses have ranks like Major ect.

It also will use a lot of experience riding on a horse and playing an instrument, I think. Making the horse walk the direction it should go.

thats right,they make it look easy but i'm very sure it isn't,i feel sorry for the ones lining the Mall who can't move,it must be such a relief when it's over and they can move again.

We won't see that. :-( The broadcast ended when the carriages arrived.
oh that's a shame,it's a wonderful sight,we see the Red Arrows quite a lot when we are in Lincolnshire,when we are at antiques fairs there they often practice so we get a free show.

What I admire on such occasions is the discipline of the spectators when they're marching towards Buckingham Palace.
yes,i'm sure many have been to occasions before,it said that one man has been flying in from Australia every year and has never missed one.
