BRUGGE...

As the Grenadier Guards are standing tall, I hear a flighty sound and beat of drums.

What is coming?

A feast for the eyes… The Company of Pikemen & Musketeers.

 

It turns out that the Company of Pikemen & Musketeers are a ceremonial unit of the Honourable Artillery Company and one of only six royally warranted bodies in the UK.

Seventeenth century marches and music are provided by the Company’s own drums and fifes.

They come to a halt in front of me, when I spot this lovely detail.

The gloved hands of a musketeer holding his drumsticks.

 

Bandoliers were used by musketeers to hold single measures of gun powder for their muskets, called Apostles.

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)
