Remembrance Sunday 2014, London: The Military Bands

Some footage featuring the military bands taking part in the UK's national Remembrance Ceremony at the Cenotaph in London on Sunday 9 November 2014.

Taking part are four Guards Bands from the Household Division as well as bands from the Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force. Also seen are the pipers and drummers of The Highlanders.

These scenes show the bands marching from Wellington Barracks along Birdcage Walk to Whitehall.

The title scene is a detail from the Guards Memorial on Horseguards Parade, one of three First World War Memorials which have just been upgraded to Grade I status by English Heritage. The others are The Response in Newcastle upon Tyne and the Port Sunlight War Memorial.
