This is without a doubt one of the most awesome military ceremonies conducted in the world. Thank you for posting this! To mock these professionals, as the commentator did, with "Monty Python" inferences dishonors their loyalty to their country and their devotion to duty. The commentator of the vid should be slapped.

I have heard that Mountain Artillery also fire blank shots every days. But still no Cat Stevens around here.

Happening for years.Requires great amount of coordination and discipline on both sides.

Why all the spectators? If this happens every day, there's nothing special about it, so why the crush of the crowds?

 

The military stuff I get, I don't get the civilians' presence on either side.

Really, you don't think that this would be a tourist attraction in either country?

Honestly, no. It lasts a few minutes at most, how long did they have to travel to get there?

 

Maybe it's just me, I have a fundamental aversion to spending more time to GET somewhere than I will spend AT the destination. I wouldn't drive 2 days each way to spend 1 day at Disney for instance.

 

 

Then again, I do no understand spectator sports. I cannot fathom how people gain enjoyment from watching OTHER people play a game, either. I might want to play football, but I never want to watch it played. So since my brain isn't wired that way, I don't get this either.
