Royal Marine Musicians Prepare For Beating Retreat

The massed Bands of the Royal Marines will perform the ceremony of Beating Retreat on London's Horse Guards Parade tommorow. 
 
The performance dates back to the 16th century but still involves intense planning, because the 200 performers not only move together but they have to play in time as well.
