any more pics of the french foreign legion?

I have a few photos of them, but the Foreign Legion contingent started parading just at the edge of the VIP/invited guests area, so we only saw their backs.

I found these pictures on the homepage of the Austrian Armed Forces. (pictures: bundesheer.at)

A great parade. Very cool idea with the other Armies.

Can someone tell which European units participated in the march, because I seem to be unable to find that piece of information.

Well i know for certain that my Country's delegation( The Netherlands) consisted of 28 troops of the 42th tankbattallion and ten troops of the Maurechaussee(military constabulary) It's a bit small IMHO. You should see the day of the little princes parade or a royal burial.

Please do! I'd like to see the whole thing in full if possible. Atlantic Friend gave us some very nice links, but I'm unfortunately unable to copy/paste those links to a friend. Besides, I'd like to see the whole things myself.

I can't believe it that this was perhaps one of the best and most unique parades in years, and not much can be found. Maybe someone will place vids on Youtube? I have no problem re-linking from that site.

Hellas: 71st Airmobile Brigade (Hellenic Army)

Cyprus: Mountain Raiders Company (Cyprus National Guard - Land Forces)

There will be regiments from every European country.

You need to buy a new atlas.

Sweden: Livgardet / "Life Guards"

Awesome parade.
I hope it will become a tradition for all EU-countries to parade togheter like this.
