This was one of the most heart rendering Processions I've seen. In terms of the C.A.F, this is huge. I served on an Honour Guard for the Queen Mother, that had less Armed forces members in it. It brought tears of gratitude to my eyes to see him remembered like this. He gave his life guarding our Honoured and Unknown dead. There is no greater sacrifice a soldier can give, the least we can do is show our gratitude, and making his final Parade and public show of thank you. This and the public salutes on the Highway of heroes, makes me so proud of my Country and our citizens. We honour, appreciate and Value our Vets. Please tell one next time you see her, or him.
2nd comment.. that was unbelievable... it was also a sign... u take 1 of us this is what you have to take... amazing 👏 I've never seen anything like it.. beautiful
I live in SF, US. My city will never allow to have honor to our soldier burial marching on street. Like you say, this the best honor to a falling soldier.
From a very proud Brit, thank you so much for everything; it's such a shame young gentlemen like Cpl. Cirillo, have to make such huge sacrifices for the likes of me and you to enjoy the things we take for granted. Thank you Sir, and thank you to all the Canadian Armed services.
I watch this every year. As a Hamilton-born Canadian, I am both sad and very proud to have seen such an incredible procession in honour of Nathan. Thanks to all of the various forces that travelled to Hamilton to honour Cpl. Cirillo
May you Rest In Peace, Corporal Cirillo for your valiant and unwavering service to our country ; may God watch over you and Canada. Last, to the CAF, what a spectacular, and beautiful display of solidarity. 🇨🇦
@@cherylnabrotzky8941 It was business as usual for my workplace, they did allow us to go and pay our respects for Nathan. Which in turn gave me the ability to record this.
I’m just now seeing this. I live in the United States, am 61 and spent over 35 years in law enforcement and firefighting. My family, including my son have bent mostly in law enforcement, firefighting, members of ever ark if the military, members of medical in every manner likely, and yes even many members of the clergy. We figure we would just cover about everything. I’ve seen many funeral processions of military (all branches) law enforcement and firefighting here in the states. But with the exception of New York, which includes participation of the police and fire, no matter which service, and maybe some large cities, they don’t come close to the participation I’ve just witnessed. While I didn’t serve in the military, I was turned down for med reasons, I am fiercely patriotic, and it doesn’t matter if it’s here or over seas in your part of the world. I get very emotional for final salutes, our Taps, missing man flights etc and will likely cause tears to flow. Most of my career I served in our 911 Emergency Communications, and have done many of our last calls, for many months police and fire funerals. It’s not easy, and usually I’m unable to work a full shift when I do. I know this is a long post, but I wanted to convey where I am, what I’ve done, and why I am so consumed with paying final respects did those that put their lives on the line each and every day. I was just completely blown away by the participation of what I can tell, each and every unit of military, police, fire and some I didn’t know. God Bless each and every one of you, and especially the men red if the family of your fallen brother. May God protect each of you as you serve your country, as we do ours.
You killed him while he was on ceremonial guard duty at Ottawa War Memorial. The guy jumps in his car and heads out to Parlement forcing his way through the MP entrance and nearly breaking into a private meeting of the ruling party MPs before the guards killed him.
So much Scottish pride, Scottish bravery and Scottish heart in the country. Worked hand in hand with them in A/ghan and would happily do so again. Brothers in arms. From a Glasgow Marine.
Nova Scotia one of our provinces. It’s “New Scotland” in Latin. My great grand parents came from Scotland. Born and raised and proud Canadian. But my heart will always have something for Scotland
All of our sons and daughters are so very precious to us. I served and this makes me very emotional it was my uncles regiment he is buried in Holland Sgt. A. A. Smith
It looks like the entirety of the Canadian Armed Forces participated in this procession. It's no less than he deserves for giving his life serving his country!
Do not know him but as a American combat veteran I believe I would have been proud to of served with him. Respect to the Canadian armed forces for this show of honor for his service
So touching and heartwarming. I remember as a little girl living in Canada whenever we went to many parades of all sorts I would cry whenever the armed forces went by - especially the Highlanders. The bagpipes always gave me chills from head to toe and made me feel so emotional - still to this day..
I came across this by accident but grateful to you for posting. I stopped what I was doing and was transfixed by this - a beautiful, humbling experience.
What a soldier he must have been, to be taken in a military funeral procession on a gun carriage ! This is a funeral procession that is one of the grandest I have ever seen. May Cpl.Natahan Cirillo RIP.. Heartfelt condolences to those who loved him.
R.I.P Nathan my friend. MCpl Ryan Jones & I were the last 2 people to see Nathan alive in Hamilton. He had beers with us on my back porch the day before he left for Ottawa.
This was amazing to watch. A whole country honoring a fallen hero. It just went on forever in perfect harmony. God bless you Canadians. I'm proud to be half Canadian.
SECOND TIME I WATCHED THIS HONOR GUARD PROCESSION. I SALUTE CPL. NATHAN CIRILLO FOR HE GAVE IT ALL. A HERO IN MY EYES, REST IN PEACE WARRIOR, WE WILL ALL JOIN YOU SOONER OR LATER, THAT IS FOR SURE, LUIS GIRILO
Beautiful. This country lost one that can't be replaced...but to see the guys walk along side and make sure it's all good, Be proud folks, be proud to be Canadian
DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY. No greater LOVE has a Man than THIS. That he would lay down HIS LIFE for HIS Friend (s) . Cpl. Cirillo gave the ultimate sacrifice (HIS LIFE) for the sake of HIS fellow COUNTRYMEN. May GOD grant THIS MAN, & many others alike HIM, Eternal residence in HEAVEN, where there is Joy, Praise, Peace, & Rest. Sincerely, from a greatfull American U.S. Army Gulf War Vet.
You know the sad thing is that, if America has all this pride, why have I never seen a service like this done before. I lived near the largest navel station on the east coast for 20 years and have never witnessed pride like this, I honestly shed a few tears while watching this. Although I have never met you nor heard of you Mr. Nathan Cirillo, I give my best wishes to your family and RIP Cpl. Thank you for your service.
I’m assuming that there is not the same scale of military funeral in the USA due to the amount of US soldiers killed in action. I don’t think a funeral of this scale would be possible that frequently.
Rest In Peace, Cpl Cirillo. I never had the privilege of meeting you when I served, but you'll still always be a brother in arms and for that, I weep when I watch this. When you're up in Heaven, be sure to get a few wobbly pops downrange for all of us. We all miss you dearly, whether we knew you or not. Stand Easy, brother.
I didn't know Cpl. Cirillo either and I was with the grenadier guards in Montreal and also the Changing of the Guard in Ottawa. When it comes time we will all be having a few Wobbly Pops in Heavens Mess Hall.
Awesome to see :Pipers, pooches ( Sniffer/ Guard Dogs), Pioneers And Every Armed & Service Represented & mix of veterans. If Only we could replicate Your Heartyness in the UK. Never Forgotten, The Family made sure of that!
Huge shot out to the Canadian Armed Forces from an American soldier... Love to serve on missions with you guys and also get hammered in Ontario when I am back home in Buffalo
Canadians are a proud people but we honour our fallen, and we honour and respect all who serve. They deserve our gratitude. This tribute was no more than CPL. Cerillo deserved.
I see so many different colors of people, different cultures and creeds. Different faces... all waving Canadian flags. Maybe those like me, who have family that came here 100 years ago. Maybe some that are first generation Canadians. I'm sure there are a few that escaped not long ago from some horrible oppression, either political or otherwise, just wanting a chance at a better life. All now Canadians. All giving respect to Corporal Cirillo. This is the Canada I love.
I remember when Dan Woodall a Edmonton Police Officer was shot and killed on duty for his funeral procession there was Canadian flags and Union Jacks the flag of the UK as he was from the UK
Tomorrow will mark 6 years since Cprl. Cirillo paid the ultimate sacrifice. Rest in Peace young man, your entire nation is so proud of you! We miss you.
When I was about 8, I was driving to my summer home on Cape Cod, a few towns over from one of the military cemeteries, and on my way down, I was passed by 2 Boston police cruisers and a hearse, either a veteran or a soldier killed in battle. My condolences to the family, friends, and comrades of this brave soldier
One thing we do a good job of, as a country, is honoring our fallen without any apology; if only we could take our security seriously so this wuldn't happen in the first place! RIP Nathan Cirillo, you will be remembered.
Whoa! God Bless Canada! What an amazing send off for a fallen hero! All hail the victorious dead! May their triumphs and sacrifices be a guide to us all!
The only thing more tragic is when you consider this soldier and 2 others on scene were armed with C7 (M16) rifles but no ammunition, and this happened 2 days after another uniformed and unarmed soldier, Patrice Vincent was attacked and murdered.
It is so crazy anymore. I got completely out of law enforcement in 2006, after more than 35 yrs in it in some manner or another. I love in Kansas, and I still have many friends involved in the Blue Line. It seems like every day for many years, more so after Obama, that officers are killed somewhere in the states. More and more officers killed for NK reason, except the wear the uniform and badge. Please everyone on the roads, watch out for each other, watch your six, and know mo matter where you are here in the USA, and I can make it to watch your six, I’ll strap on and back you.
Granted that's been some time since the Parliament Hill incident, but in the aftermath of the 100th Armistice Day please allow a US Army veteran to offer his respects to the memory of Cpl. Cirillo. My regrets and condolences to his family and friends.
At 4:20-4:38, his coffin and family. Unbelievable how this hero died, guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa, Canada. Thank you Canada for helping to honor him. Condolences from the US!
I love the bagpipes and drums in this video a lot and the reason Is because I play the tenor drums in a pipe and drum band that is named after the famous black watch which is a British Canadian and Scottish infantry regiment
Bit of a harsh comment referring to the British. One honors any person who sacrifices their life serving their country . Not all families would be prepared to have such a public display.
for those 29 people who Dared disliked this videos are nothing but cruel and Heartless monsters who have no Respect for the men and women and their Families who made the hardest and greatest Sacrifices in Protecting their Country. this just a wonderful and dignified Send off to their Heroes
