The reactions from the audience are priceless as well with some jumping for joy and others covering in fear as though the swords will actually hit them. <\/p>\n<p>Talking about the performance, Richard Maddocks, Coldstream Guards sergeant major said: &ldquo;We play all over the world at all sorts of concerts and events, but this was genuinely a career highlight for all of us. It&rsquo;s a favourite TV programme of many of ours, [which] made it an extra-special experience.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The show&rsquo;s last season has had many people on the edge of their seats.
