The Bands of HM Royal Marines

Eight musicians, a rainy Kyiv, and a message of solidarity through the power of music 🎵 @RMBandService joined their Ukrainian counterparts to lift spirits across some of Ukraine's iconic locations. ➡️ royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/july…

Fantastic workshop today with @manasamitraUK, Lucy Nolan and Duncan Chapman. Inspiring insight into improvisation, exploring different ragas, and the value of fully investing in the creative process. Great to see our trainees embrace every challenge with enthusiasm and openness.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 The Band of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth was proud to perform at iconic venues across New York and Washington, DC, including the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Washington National Cathedral, the National Mall and Nationals Park for UK–USA Friendship Day.

The @RMBandService perform “Sweet Caroline” in Times Square as part of a special #FourthOfJuly public performance. Happy #America250 ! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🎺🎷

A fitting finale. Cheers to 250 years! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

An International Naval Review deserves an international soundtrack. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺🎶 @RMBandService, @USNavyBand, and the @Australian_Navy Band took the stage together for #America250.
