0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Some of the officers will carry - the Colour and are called ensigns...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- ..which is a very important job.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- The officers think they are - like the head of the family.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- I'd say it's the Platoon Sergeant - or Company Sergeant Major...

0:07:35 > 0:07:39- It's a lot of pressure - but we'll be fine on the day.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- We've got to put a bit of polish - on there and get them shined up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- They're doing alright, - especially on a day like this.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Where would you be - if you hadn't joined the army?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- I'd probably be in jail.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36- You'll look daft and the Japanese - tourists are still filming you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- They wear different-sized bearskins - so that they're all the same height.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48- Without them, there are different - heights so they need to look right.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- In the past, you had to be over - six feet tall to join the Guards.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- The recruits - were placed in height order.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- The short guys in Three Company - are called Little Iron Men!
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- They do the same job.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- It's just the different characters - of those companies.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- The Welsh Guards - always pull it out of the bag.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- You get a big stage show presence - and you know you've got to do it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- You can see the boys - are getting their kit ready.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- They're shining up and all bling.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- It's all good, all good.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14- We're at the barracks for two hours - before marching to Horse Guards.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- The parade lasts two hours - so it's quite tough.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31- Billy Mott ensures all the boxes - are ticked for Trooping the Colour.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- But if someone moves - or does something wrong...

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- It was no surprise that - at Margaret Thatcher's funeral...
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- ..he led the coffin bearers.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- To have the presence to stand on - the parade square and command it...
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- ..when you have upwards - of 700-800 people on that square...
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- ..takes quite a degree - of confidence...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- ..and strength of personality.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Any soldier in the Welsh Guards - would be a liar...
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- ..if he said that he didn't want to - emulate what this man has achieved.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- These bollards - have been the biggest bugbear...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- ..the biggest nightmare for me...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- ..for the last eight, - maybe nine years.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- They're a nightmare.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- There's always a problem with them.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- The hydraulics are fine - but gravel gets trapped in there...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- ..or kicked in - by pedestrians and tourists.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- They're always getting blocked - and broken.
0:12:04 > 0:12:10- The skills on the Queen's Birthday - Parade in a ceremonial world...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- ..allow soldiers - to be self-disciplined.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20- Getting that amount of men to react - to one word of command or one man...
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- ..is a remarkable feat.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28- On civilian streets, there would - be disorganization and chaos.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- People wouldn't know - what they are meant to do.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33- Arms!
0:12:33 > 0:12:39- It only takes one minute problem - to cause a snowball.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Whatever the minuteness is - can ruin the parade.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- ..and haven't earned the right - to walk normally yet.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Sandhurst is very prestigious.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- It's the world's best facility - for officer training.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Churchill, Prince Harry and William, - Rupert Thorneloe.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- All these great people - have come through these gates.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- That is something - the young officers aspire to.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- It is that reputation of excellence.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58- That reputation of the people who - marched up the steps is important.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Sandhurst and ITC Catterick - are similar in the first five weeks.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- They spend a year at Sandhurst...
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- ..so focus on leadership and the - academic side of being an officer.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- The officers tell you to kill - the enemy. You follow their orders.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- What is key is that ability to lead, - and lead by example.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- For the Welsh Guards, it's about the - characteristics which reside within.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- You go forward.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- "Sir, good morning. There are..."
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- And he'll give me the wrong figure.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- "..620 officer cadets from the - Royal Military Academy Sandhurst...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- "..and 210 will commission today."
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Some of them will have been to Eton - while I went to Syr Hugh!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Most of them are great boys.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- They are posh and had a different - upbringing but they are great.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- The officers arrive and don't - understand a recruit's background.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- One recruit might be from - a council estate in Merthyr Tydfil.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Some officers - haven't encountered that before.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- It takes time to adapt - to the needs of these men.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- The motivation of the officers - differs to that of the cadets.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- I've wanted to join the army - since I was a kid.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Sandhurst was my ambition.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Whichever regiment you go to - defines your military career.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Every regiment has different traits - or characteristics.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- The Welsh Guards - was the one I liked the most.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Back in Catterick, the recruits - are ready for their inspection.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- If the room is not in order...
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- ..the boys can't continue with - their training and some will leave.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02- I'm looking for general cleanliness, - adherence to our standards...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- ..and their general demeanour.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Whether they've grasped the concept - of looking after their kit...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- ..and administrating themselves - in barracks.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Room! Room, attention.
