“My life, whether long or short. Shall be devoted to the service of this great imperial family, to which we all belong.” - Queen Elizabeth. She did stay true to her word, and held it for 70 years.

RU-vid recommended me this a day after the Queen died...

Much of the soldiers never meet his sons and wifes again .😔

Vera Lynn just passed away recently, rest in peace... What else will 2020 took from us?

“We will be with our friends again, We will be with our families again, We will meet again. “ -Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II

We'll meet again your majesty, may she rest in peace 🇬🇧

1:41 this bit with the crowd singing reminds me of an old memory There was this history teacher in our class that everyone loved and at the end of each lesson he’d play this song as we left. About a 2 years into this school we heard in assembly that he had passed away.i kid you not the second the principal said that, we all sang this perfectly. It sounded exactly similar to this part in the song Goodbye mr edwinson, we will miss you 😢

This makes me cry because it reminds me of what has happened to me. Twelve years ago I promised a girl in my class I'd meet her again. She has autism and I was her only friend. Never seen her since but I'm keeping my promise no matter what. Even if I die.

One of the best songs that i ever heard

This song has always touched me deeply, about 10 years ago I met a girl of Japanese descent on school, she was always very lonely, she never spoke to anyone and almost always did not participate in school groups, I took the courage to talk to her, and she told me that was never one to talk to a lot of people and she suffered a lot of pressure from her parents, since then I've been more present in her life, had lunch together, talked and I always included her in my groups if possible, despite some discussions ( like all good friendships), I always liked her shy way, when she face some problem, and wanted my help, instead of touching my shoulder or calling my name, she would look at me for a very long time until I notice her, our friendship was always the reason she never wanted to change school, the same with me, we cared about each other, but... When we went to college, like any relationship, we started to distance ourselves, she got her own group of friends, and so did I, we followed our lives naturally... It's been about 5 years since I've seen her, i miss her so much, it reminded me of the time I told her when i was little, that we would always be friends, even if i never see her again, I'm glad I caused an impact on her life, and she on mine... I hope we can meet again, someday.

Rest in Peace Dame Vera Lynne , passed away today at 103 years old . 🌹An English Rose

RIP Dame Vera Lynn - 20th March 1917 - 18th June 2020 ❤️

I listen to this with great sadness, her majesty queen Elizabeth has passed away but I’m sure we’ll meet again. Thank you ma’am.

We played this at my Great Uncle's funeral. It's a brilliant representation of wartime Britain and the stoic attitudes of the people.

Happy V-E Day from a fellow Canadian.

This is the only war song that actually makes me cry. She really sang for us in dark times and she passed in dark times thank you, Dame Vera Lynn.

This song... captures the "stiff upper lip" mentality of the British, in a song of very clear fear, of people leaving home, knowing they might not come back, but absolutely resolute in steadfast refusal to despair. As hauntingly sad as it is that the need for such a song came about, I think it's something Britain should be proud of. Keep calm and carry on.

My grandpa crossed the border to the U.S for a better life, only to find himself go to war.He didn't mind going,he was a brave soul who was honest.After the war,he was still intact but his mind.His mind was gone,I would hear him sing this song in Spanish in his last moment's. Thanks Guadalupe C.

In memory of my great grandfather Soemitro 1923-2010 who was an Indonesian independence fighter. He fought the british then the dutch from 1945-1949. May all the soldiers who fought in all battle rest in peace.

The Queen is dead, long live the King. Rest in peace.

For King , Empire and Commonwealth !!!

An amazing lady with an amazing voice..always Makes me think about my grandparents.. She will be greatly missed.. R.I.P..

RIP 498.000 almost half of a million brave men who were never met again in a sunny day. They laid down their lives, they sacrificed their present for our future they did it all to save the free world from most evil dictatorial regime in the history of humanity.

My grandfather was a Soviet t-34 tank commander He joined the Soviet armed forces voluntarily He fought in Stalingrad He passed away 12 years ago May his soul rest in peace

RIP Queen Elizabeth II April 1926 - September 8 2022

My Grandfather was a Medical Doctor in the army in WWII at Leyte and came to be a Member of the Philippine Resistance after the Surrender of the Philippines he was ordered to fight the Japanese and did a lot of Guerilla Warfare during his days. He was still shocked about his experience in World War II sadly he died in 2016 age of 97 1918 - 2016

Much thanks to our brothers in arms from America for holding the front for us. Some of the best lads I’ve met were from the isles. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 alliance forevermore.

My German Great Grandfather and Great Great Grandfather both died in the world wars. My Great Great Grandfather died on the western front and my Great Grandfather died in Operation Barbarossa. This song really resonates with me for this reason.

For the men and boys that never came home, RIP. Your memory still lives on.

Glorious song. God bless America and God bless the Queen. Love from across the pond

in a memory of 80 million people. rest in peace.

My best wishes to all the people that lost someone in that horrid war, and my best hopes to the future

I love this song when my auntie died we played it at her funeral because she was in the women’s land army during the war. Respect to all these who fought for us and those who fight today to keep us safe.

Happy VE Day to all. We may live in peace. 🇬🇧🎉

Just got the news that the queen has died. My heart goes to her family and friends. God bless the queen! 🇬🇧 It’s been a glorious 70 years your majesty.

I understand times are changing fast so as music but you have to appreciate Jazz , especially the songs produced before, during, and after the two world wars (00's-10's-30's-40's-50's)

Respect for the people who risked there lives

Even though he didn't die in combat nor he fight in combat. My Great Grandad was Spotlight Operator in the Battle of Britain and every time they used to hide in this tent if they were getting bombed. That's all I know about him sadly. Bless the People who fought in any battle that gave their life to their country.

In memory of my great grandfather Ronald Ellwood 1923-1940. Died fighting for the country. True Brit. 🇬🇧❤️

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II 🌺 🙏🙏🙏

I am part British (Welsh to be exact) and I am proud!

In memory of my great great grandpa “BigDaddy” I know I know. First aero squadron. Edit: Sorry wrong person he served in WW1 my great grandpa fought in WW2 he was an engineer. Died from peeking his head to high looking at the bridge he built. Damn bullet ruined my family for two generations.

My great grandfather fought in ww2 as a squadron leader in the RAF. He got captured and made friends with a captain from Australia. They escaped together got caught again and as a punishment they released German Shepherds after the Australian captain. In the words he quoted " Run. Run and don't look back. " My great grandfather was forced to watch it happen. He watched his mate of 2 years get torn to shreds by dogs. He didn't sleep properly for around a year and was often found screaming up against a wall when remembering the sighting. I often think about that and the Captains family and if they found out what happened to him as he was only in his early 20's. May he rest in peace. My great grandfather would never speak about this. He only said it once. When he was trapped in Greece any soldier's who they could not help they would lay underneath the olive Garden trees and let the planes bomb over the gardens. ( With their knowledge of what was about to happen of course. ) He hid his gun and coat from the enemy under an olive tree. They probably have been found but it would be a treasure to find them. May everyone who died for us Rest In Peace. And everyone who came back without their friends and family members along side them find peace. This song gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. It gave soldiers hope. 🇬🇧

this makes me cry. The British fought valiantly against the Germans and without them we would have never won the war. Love from America. (Edit: my god this is such a shitstorm now. I understand the Soviet role in the war, I am just stating the fact that most people I know in the USA think the war was won solely by America. )

Rest in peace Vera Lynn...you were the best symbol of hope

0:46 I always get goosebumps when she sings ''Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away'' and then it shows a downed german He111

When the UK had true leadership, togetherness and respect for all... Vera reminds us that life is fleeting.. Rest well our late Queen and Dame Vera Lynn and all the other people lost who made the United kingdom great.. 🇬🇧🙏

imagine in the future when wwii will be a distant and hard to picture thing, like the 18th century is to us. imagine people from the future finding this video, how weird and creepy would it be to them? maybe nostalgic even? imagine finding footage of thousands of young men about to fight in a war that took place 200 years ago, with a woman from 1700 singing so passionately about the struggles of that time, wouldn't that just shook you completely? i hope humanity survives long enough to look back at events like the ones we're living now with that kind of unsettling confusion

The song makes me feel a way. The men speaking makes me think of them as all of the soldiers we have lost in wars. She performing for them in heaven. Hoping them the best.

This song really makes me tear up. At the beginning of the school year I made a wonderful friend and she was always happy and would brighten my days. I'd look forward to seeing her in class and she was also my wing woman. When I got friendzoned by my crush she was there to help me when I was down and she cured my sadness. She has a boyfriend and they have an amazing relationship and I started to notice that I should back off from face timing and texting her because I would hate to get attached to a girl that's in a relationship. I would never want to affect a relationship especially when it's been going on for a while now. She's been a great friend and is switching out of my class because the teacher is too harsh on her. As long as she's happy right? There's an odd sadness I have that I won't see her next semester but it's for the better. So this song is what I dedicate to her. For me to take my distance away from her and her leaving my class. Sometimes good people will come into your life just to teach you how to let go. Farewell to the girl I couldn't love.

Blessings to Britain from the United States. Our struggles, triumphs and even anxieties have been one from the very beginning, always seeking to carve or places in the world and to stand down the would be tyrants of fascist and communist Europe; thank you, Britons, for all you've given to your friends and children across the pond: your will to write, your rugged stability against the rest of the world and your example in law. Even now in these controversial times, first with the uncertainly around populist resurgence and now bearing a great bulk of the virus, Anglophone citizens can still extend arms of comfort to those who may be afraid in any realm where our brethren feel threatened by governmental delays.

A fun little fact; the background chorus is officially credited on the original recording as "Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen of Her Majesty's Forces." Makes this version all the more poignant.

in ww2 we were an enemy but Now We are Best Friends Greetings from Japan Japan And British Banzai!! 🙌🏼 🇯🇵🇬🇧

In memory of my grandfather, who was in the Royal artillery from Dunkirk to North Africa, then Italy and finally Germany.

I just picture her singing this with her family as she went. Rest in peace Lillibet.

let's all vibe here for a bit after what happened yesterday

The queen will live on always in our harts

I may be irish. But this song sticks with me. Such a beautiful voice.

In memory of my grandfather’s brother Mike Severn, Long Eaton, Nottingham who was a Royal Marine on the Normandy landings….God Bless every man fallen for our freedoms in this world and empire, God save the King ❤🇬🇧

Though my nation has done some terrible things, I have a great deal of pride in our choices in WWII to stand against true evil (not every soldier was evil of course, the leadership), and I feel like every country learned a lesson from the war. It is an old scar we all share and have a stronger international bond over. No nation could have done it alone

Oh my god this sound so beautiful and sad in the same time litterally the best english ww2 song, like lili marlene

When we (Canada) went to war with Germany on September 10th 1939, God went with us. Let us hope he is still with us in this trying time

It's been glorious your majesty

Such a beautiful song. Remember that most soldiers where just like me and you, ordinary people who where forced to defend there homelands. Respect to all men and woman who fought not by force but by duty.

This song gives me such insane chills, especially when the chorus of military members join the song

My great grandad, despite being American, thought quite highly of the British when he was in Burma with the 2nd Infantry, and looked upon them as his own family rather than complete strangers. I never got to met the man, but I bet he was great. Funnily enough, he died a few days after the Chicago White Sox won the 2005 World Series almost as if that was his dying wish. I hope this friendship between us shall last forever, whether it be during peace or war, my friends across the pond, we’ll meet again. Someday, someday. *In loving memory of Walter Carlson Sr. (1921-2005)* 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

To all our fallen soldiers, we thank you for your service 😔🇨🇦

🇩🇪❤🇬🇧 No war between Germany and the UK ever again! 🇬🇧❤🇩🇪

An AMAZING gallery of wartime images to accompany such a heartfelt song, by the incomparable Vera Lynn. Beautifully done! My mum Winifred was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park, 1943-45, and my father Tadeusz fought at Monte Cassino, May 1944 (and many other battles).

Rip my great uncle Karl 1925-2017. He fought in the battle of the Bulge and almost died for us. I wish a could learn more about him since I have only seen him once in 2015. 🇺🇸❤️

we'll meet again ur majesty, some sunny day RIP🕊

This is the most blackpilled song of them all. It gives us a picture of when the West was based on family, love of country and the people. Now the West is all based on greed, selfishness and narcissism. So every time I hear this song I heave a sigh and a tear falls down my cheek as I think "How in God's name could we sink so low when we soared so high"

I'm not crying you're crying. If ye break faith we shall not sleep.

A very young Queen Elizabeth rolled up her sleeves to become a mechanic repairing truck motors. The war ravaged her country yet she fearlessly worked alongside her people giving them hope to never give up. For that, she is a great Queen. God bless Queen Elizabeth Regina of the House of Windsor.

Respect from Lebanon 🇬🇧 ❤️ 🇱🇧

God save the queen.. rip queen Elizabeth II

In memory of my great grandfather John Fonda A man in the British army who fought from Egypt to D-day to Germany

I will get through this pandemic I'll be able to see friends and family again

GOD SAVE VERA :(

This gave me tears seeing the British soldiers going away to war, They left there life behind and there family😥

Ми ще зустрінемося We'll meet again Не знаю де Don't know where Не знаю коли Don't know when Але я знаю, що ми знову зустрінемося в сонячний день But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Продовжуйте посміхатися Keep smiling through Як завжди Just like you always do «Поки блакитне небо не прожене темні хмари далеко 'Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away Тож будь ласка, привітайтеся So will you please say hello До тих, кого я знаю To the folks that I know Скажи їм, що я не довго Tell them I won't be long Вони будуть раді знати They'll be happy to know Як ти бачив, як я пішов That as you saw me go Я співав цю пісню I was singing this song Ми ще зустрінемося We'll meet again Не знаю де Don't know where Не знаю коли Don't know when Але я знаю, що ми знову зустрінемося в сонячний день But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Ми ще зустрінемося We'll meet again Не знаю де Don't know where Не знаю коли Don't know when Але я знаю, що ми знову зустрінемося в сонячний день But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Продовжуйте посміхатися Keep smiling through Як завжди Just like you always do «До синього неба 'Til the blue skies Віджени темні хмари далеко Drive the dark clouds far away Тож будь ласка, привітайтеся So will you please say hello До тих, кого я знаю To the folks that I know Скажіть їм, що це не буде довго Tell them it won't be long Вони будуть раді знати They'll be happy to know Як ти бачив, як я пішов That as you saw me go Я співав цю пісню I was singin' this song Ми ще зустрінемося We'll meet again Не знаю де Don't know where Не знаю коли Don't know when Але я знаю, що ми знову зустрінемося в сонячний день But I know we'll meet again some sunny day

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. A true tribute to all those who serve.

This is why I got into the historical community and,geography community amazing how history can be! 🇬🇧🤝🇲🇽

I have a great grandmother that was around during ww2 during the imperial Japanese occupied Philippines, and there was alot of rebellions and the Americans fighting the Japanese.

In Memory of my Great Grandad! ❤ 1925-2016❤

My great grandad fought in the 7th armoured division , 8th army too. He was a sergeant. He used artillery and was a tank commander. Sergeant Charles Russell 1917-1989 , RIP. Maybe they both knew each other. Thank you to all of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives so we can live in freedom , you will never be forgotten.

Long live the Queen! Long live the United Kingdom!

Here after the Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II This song was mentioned in the funeral, We'll Meet Again! 🇮🇪🤝🇬🇧

Nice job, greetings from Romania!

This song is what everybody needs in moments like these.

As an Irish person I do always have a small little hatred almost for what the English did to our country but I think that they have redeemed their wrong doings with the war effort. And everyone take partook in the war shall be remembered in all our hearts ♥️

May every soul who was lost, every man who went into battle not knowing weather he would ever see his loved ones again. He didn’t know weather he would return to his home, his family, or weather he had a chance. Not knowing where he was going, weather in France, Russia, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro, Italy, or Austria. May they all rest in piece forever, war is hell, and the soldiers are not meant to pay the price of a power hungry tyrant. Weather in the First World War or the second. May they be remembered forever, and may their lives never be forgotten by humanity.

Please take a moment to respect the British soldiers that fought for their country.

My great grandparents had an interesting story. Apparently, my great grandfather was an american soldier, specifically a radio operator. In case you didn't know, those guys with the radios almost always died, as the bulky radios slowed them down AND revealed their positions. The fact that he survived despite the circumstances is truly insane. He didn't only survive though, as he was in Germany at some point and met my German great grandmother who he later married and had my grandparents with. They came back to America after the war and lived long enough to see my grandparents have my dad and aunt, but unfortunately never got to see me and I never got to see them. From what my parents have told me, they were really great people so I'm a bit disappointed I never got to meet them. I hope one day I will finally talk to them.

May my great grandad rest in peace. Thank you for your service, you brave brave man. ❤🇬🇧
