    Unbelievably stirring, the King gave a great sigh and a smile. Huge respect for our guys.

    Absolutely love this. Why should we be ashamed of our history and traditions? Britain is one of the greatest countries on earth.

    Former Norwegian Royal Guard here, well done Britain. All the regiments did a superb job with the marching. I didn't see one soldier out of synch.

    Yank here and this may seem very unAmerican of me to say but: Never let them take this from you, Brits and Commonwealth. Keep this alive.

    Hats off to the Commonwealth troops who were involved too. They did their countries proud.

    One of my very favorite parts of the entire coronation. I wish they would have left the king to enjoy the spectacular scene for a bit longer. One could see he didn't want to abandon his troops, he wanted to watch & listen. Well done to all military personnel involved in making the coronation run like clockwork. Bravo & kudos.
  • Best part of the whole day for me..3 cheers and the heart thumped faster, bravo to every person in our military. Thanks to my son as always; a proud Scots Guard.

    I'm also from Canada. God save the King!
  • I rose at 3:30 AM Central Standard Time in the American Midwest to watch the entire Coronation of Charles III Live...just as I stayed up through the night to watch Charles wed Diana back in 1981. But throughout the entirety of the 4 hour or more Coronation event, THIS was by far the most stirring, the most emotional, and the most impressive part. Watching these thousands of Men and Women representing the British and Commonwealth armed forces from around the World congratulate their King and cheer for him was outstanding. Simply outstanding! Apart from the fact much of the traditional coronation event had its strict rules and procedures to follow keeping it ancient and religous. THIS however, was purely human and full of emotion. I just loved this part of the ceremony more than any other part of King Charles wonderful day. And I would imagine THIS was the part he loved most too. I just wish we could have caught a glimpse of Seamus The Irish Wolfhound at attention with the Irish Guards barking out "Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! (woof, woof)".

    This is not a marching band, these military personnel all have their day jobs. They got together to march in front of the world for their majesties. Image the hours & the efforts they put in to make sure it's perfect. The formation, the timing and the precision during the long march was superbly excuted‼️A big thank you to all the men and women involved in making this jaw dropping performance❣👍👏 You are now part of history‼️💞
