More about this programme

This film, which formed part of Her Majesty the Queen's year of silver jubilee celebrations, shows the Army of the Rhine taking the salute on behalf of the whole British Army. It's an amazing cavalcade of men and their machines with over 500 armoured vehicles, and possibly the biggest massed bands ever assembled as they celebrate 25 years of Her Majesty's reign.
