Still does. The UN building anyway. That said still get misty-eyed hearing God Save The Queen/King and The Star Spangled Banner and Scotland The Brave, the two countries I could ever call home. UK/Scotland, country of my birth, father's birth and paternal grandfather's birth. USA country we adopted. For my father and grandfather, another song they honor: The USAF anthem. Both of them were/are USAF veterans. I tried, too many health issues. Couldn't get past MEPS.
@@pooletrainboy Who was at Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Tinian, Bougainville, Leyte Gulf, Saipan, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, the Chosin Reservoir, and Khe Sanh, again? The new kid, smarta**.
How would President Washington and King George have reacted if in 1776 you told them both that one day the US and the UK will be the greatest allies in the world
They would say that your comment is typical Anglo-Saxon arrogance as the world's leading military and economic power today is China and India will follow in its footsteps.
Washington would probably have believed it. King George, well, I think at best he would have said, "Maybe a long, long time from now." We often fail to understand that the US was a factor in European politics even then.
Me, as a Dutch person, find it amazing to see this! That our anthem, some of a small country like the Netherlands, is heared along with the UK anthem and the American anthem. Goosebumps!
Het Wilhelmus is the oldest anthem still in use in the world (1570), dedicated to William of Orange Nassau, Prince of Orange, founder and father of The Netherlands 🇳🇱
@@CSWGamingYT it was not officially written as an anthem but as a love poem from an important Japanese dude to a girl in the 11th/12th (end of the Heian period) century it became an anthem much much later.
The music to the Star Spangled Banner was written by British composer John Stafford Smith from Cheltenham in England, who was organist of the Chapel Royal in London.
@Ella&Rovi The words but not not tune. And the words were written as a poem not an anthem. In fact this is the second US National Anthem taken from the British.
The tune may have been a British song, however Mr. Francis Scott Key wrote all of the lyrics. America has so little right now with the partisan divide in our politics, just give us this one
Seems very fitting with just a few hours to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 70th platinum year on this Sunday 6th February 2022 From your people across the world, Thank you for your dedication and commitment throughout your Elizabethan Reign. May God Bless you and have many years to go.
I have been fortunate to have seen the massed bands of the Guards, and those of the Highland Division and the Royal Marines. As an ex-army type, I have to say that the Royal Marines are the absolute best....just immaculate. Well done, the Royals!
Het Wilhelmus' melody was composed in 1568, making it's the world's oldest national anthem (by melody), for the national anthem with the oldest lyrics it's Kimigayo (Japan's national anthem), which the lyrics is from a Waka poem traced back from the Heian period (794-1185).
May Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II rest in eternal peace. Her service to the nation and the Commonwealth has been impeccable. We have been blessed to have had such an amazing monarch for so long. God Save the King.
I think it was the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines in 2014 (the Corps traces its roots to 1664) and to its party were invited the two closest corps of Marines.
I see at the end the color guard dipped the UK colors to all three anthems, that's surprising to me. I would have assumed only the British monarch rated that honor. Is it normal British custom to dip the colors to friendly nations like that? Edit: I see from other comments that is the Royal Marines' color, not the Union Jack. So, it's a unit/service color rather than a national (I realize that's not quite the right description for the UK) color. Guess that explains it.
Yes, whenever the order for present arms is given, and a colour guard is on parade, both the colours (national or Queen's Colour and Corps/Regimental colour) are dipped.
@@Brecconable Sorry that's wrong. Only in presence of the queen or royal family (royal salute instead of general salute) and for remembrance purposes. Otherwise the colours are *never* lowered.
Yeah so basically in the Army and Navy they have a Queens Colour and a Regimental Colour. The Union Flag is the Queen's Colour and is the same all regiments that have one bar their battle honours. The Regimental Colour is unique to that regiment and can be yellow or blue or red or green or whatever colour that regiments facings are, again with battle honours inscribed onto them. The Colour will only be dipped that way on the order of Royal Salute, Present Arms. If there isn't royal family member etc then the order will simply be General Salute, Present Arms. Also each battalion will have its own colour. This is usually the regimental colour with something to distinguish it from the other battalions. I don't really understand US Colours, but I assume those streamers attached to the top are also battle honours?
If you skip from the start to 1:15 and play the rest of the video.....those are the anthems you'll hear if Verstappen won for Haas (or Andretti....come on FIA)
Three great anthems,Het withelmus is awesome I’m sure the Netherlands are so proud of it, I’m in Canada and oh Canada is nice but I’d love the Netherlands anthem
@@dabomb9488 The text too. While it is from a distant time it is a reminder of what the country was built upon. I for one believe it is important and it has symbolic value to see the root of the tree.
Great to hear the Dutch national anthem together with our great allies' national anthems. Would be great to do something similar with all the countries that liberated the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.
Not sure if that’s the Commandant. The Marine band is the 3rd Division Band so it might be the General in Charge. Fun Marine fact….all US Marines are first riflemen then bands members. There’s only one Marine unit that by law can’t to sent to combat. The Marine Band in Washington DC called the Presidents Own. US law says military members must be giving specific training before sent to fight. That trains is given at boot and OCS.
As a Boer, I wish this was played in 1899. We would have had so much respect for GB that we probably would've demanded ships back to Europe in exchange for our gold. In retrospect, no, we wouldn't. But we would have gone softer on General Buller's dandy's.
I guess if you had gone softer, or at least offered a fair fight like real men, there wouldn't have been any need for those charming holiday camps you loved so much.
It would be a fitting tribute to our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth to hear the National Anthems of the Allied countries who supported her in Her reign. Much respect to the Dutch Marines and Het Wilhelmus. William and Mary ruled our Country.
Het Wilhelmus, one of the oldest national anthems in the world, written in 1570. Although the couplets are dated: Wilhelmus van Nassouwe I am, of German blood, faithful to the fatherland I will remain until death. I am a Prince of Orange, quite undaunted, I have always honored the King of Spain.
@@teunjordens5545 you are right, he was from a German state, but I think that the idea of the clear difference of what was German or Dutch came only much later. It was more vague around this period. German was even commonly spoken in many parts of The Netherlands until the 19th century.
His Majesty represents for Great Britain, a beacon of light that illuminates the path to follow, an example of service to one's superlative country, they will perhaps be lost when they are no longer with us. 
@@ibairementeria British Anthem is always played at military/national events and the other two Anthems were played out of respect to the Dutch and American bands present.
@@ibairementeria because both the US Marine band and the Dutch Navy band took part in that's year's parade so out of respect all three Anthems were played.
I love all three anthems....thrilling to hear mine (USA) played so well. i always pray along with God Save The Queen. And greatly admire the Netherlands. But what is the occasion that finds these three anthems on the program? Forgive my ignorance if this should be common knowledge.
It was the Royal Marines Beating Retreat, in 2014. This occasion marked 350 years of the Royal Marines and so the US' and the Netherlands' marine corps were invited to take part as well.
@@fmervick1 There are two military forces in the world simply called "the Royal Marines," one British, the other Dutch. They are the oldest and second oldest marine corpses in the world, the British one being founded in 1600 and the Dutch one in 1601. Both were formed as a result of the four bitter wars fought by the British and Dutch in the 17th and early 18th centuries. These wars ultimatelty ended in a draw, numerically speaking, with the Dutch winning two and the English winning two, with legendary Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter being regarded by many historians as the greatest admiral in world history. He spent decades fighting in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, the Atlantic and western and northern European waters, and never lost a battle! He also led the Dutch attack on the British fleet at Chatham, the last time an enemy force ever set foot on British soil. He towed the British flag ship Royal Charles back to Holland and its stern decorations are still on display at a museum in Amsterdam.
I know they were at present arms but I don’t understand why the guidon let the colors touch the ground? Someone please explain that to me because here in the US it’s frowned upon.
In British custom flags or colours are "trailled" (ie laid on the ground) in salute to royalty, or the fallen. It represents the subordination of all national and local symbols to the crown, and, ultimately, to God. In this case HRH the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who was taking the salute as Captain General, Royal Marines. Incidentally, the officer carrying the colour is termed the ensign in the British forces, that being traditionally the job of the most junior officer in the regiment, who would usually be an ensign in rank (now superceded by 2nd Lt).
it is more than frowned upon in the United States. My understanding, though, is that, at a military funeral, the UK flag is buried with the deceased. That does not happen here either.
