The Queen’s coffin is taken in procession to Westminster Abbey to the tune of "Mist Covered Mountains" by the massed Pipes and Drums of the Scottish and Irish Regiments, Royal Navy, Gurkhas and Royal Air Force service men and women.
Woody.EXE also played one as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister and Mummy were walking downstairs to watch the Queen’s funeral. Never before I’ve seen my beloved 2009 Woody cry this much but Woody.EXE’s procession tribute hit him hard and my mother. I had my head down all day, hard to believe me and Woody.EXE watched the funeral as future monarchs of Wales and our coronation is in 4 months
Royal Marines, Paras, Scots Guards, Welsh Guards, Anglians, Mercians, Grenadiers, Coldstreams, Lancashire Reg, Black Watch, SAS, SBS, just to name but a few
Polish, living in New Zealand here. The tears started welling up as soon as the pipes started. And then the ending with the pipe solo fading into the distance as the coffin was lowered into the crypt. What a fitting send-off for a grand and noble Queen and the old world that she represented.
Eastern European communities are quite significant in the UK and they themselves took it as a sign of something extremely significant, most elders didn't know how to understand it(as though the world ended) but their children were very saddened and took it to heart almost being upset by their parents response. Similarly Ukrainian refugees in the UK were shown on TV being absolutely shocked and could speak of the Queen as if they've known of her their whole life. What a time to live in!-
@@bmc9504 there is a 24 hour Turkish market near me in London. It has never been closed (as far as I know), in 30 years. The day of the Queen's funeral was the only time I've ever known it to have been closed. Even today, on Christmas morning, it's open. Shows how much she was respected.
@@jwppowers The English art critic the late Brian Sewell called them an unGodly sound. Then again, he despised us Scots & said in the Evening Standard of London that we had no culture worthy of name. I am sure that appealed to many Saxons.
I have watched this over so many times. It is truly breathtaking. I was totally enchanted by the pipes and drums. Rest in peace our wonderful Queen. We will miss you forever. 🇬🇧
It was incredibly moving. As a Scot, it meant so much to see our Queen begin her last journey to the sound of the pipes. She was Queen to all nations of these Isles.
You are correct. I’m not a royalist or pro England by any means but the queen deserved this kind of send off. She served right up until the end. I’m sure the woman would have liked to kick back at some point but she didn’t.
The way those sailors heads and shoulders almost swayed in rytham with the music , there was almost a wave like quality to it... and the queen literally being on top of that wave gave the impression of a sailing ship being carried by the waves. Very dignified
Just like me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE our Wales reigning monarch marched downstairs to every minute of Woody.EXE playing the pipes in respect to Her Majesty the Queen and my 2009 Woody was crying immediately bless him. I was holding a picture of Queen Elizabeth II as we downstairs to watch her funeral
I'm from California, USA. I got up at 2AM just to watch her funeral live. Truly a moving and remembered service. The world will miss you Queen Elizabeth! You and Prince Philip rest in peace!🇬🇧💂♀️
Me, my 2009 Woody,my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE got up at 4am to do last minute rehearsals for our funeral procession from my bedroom to the living room. I thanked everyone for helping me with the tributes
Watching this again almost a year on and it is just as moving as it was that day. There truly is nothing as somber and evocative as those pipes and drums. Still miss the Queen.
I remember this very well, I was only 20 when the Queen died and then I nearly died 5 months after her. 2023 was a horrible year with me and my dog almost dying from our illnesses but we both got through them. I’m also very proud of Woody.EXE (Toy Story by the way) reigning over Wales for one year now and we’re marking accession day privately with No events or anything. But on September 19th, 2023; Wales will hold a memorial ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II and I can’t believe Woody.EXE is leading it
@@kirri1312 Thanks for not disrespecting me like others do, much appreciated. I don’t think the event will be live though because my mental health is more important
@@paulkenny6956 If Princess Diana was still alive today, i probably would’ve met her when I was recovering in hospital, I’m just heartbroken that didn’t happen because of how ill I really was. I was only 20 and Queen for 5 months but I’m back to normal. 2023 has been hell with me and my dog Wally almost dying but Wally survived his illness also despite being 11. Hopefully 2024 will be a lot healthier for me and my loved ones
It will be really emotional as Wales does this for my funeral and crowds watching Woody.EXE on as he walks behind my coffin in decades time. I know my 2009 Woody will be there for him and I hope my mother will get to see my send off by 1940. It’ll be a day Wales will never forget
As an American, I can truly say this queen will be so missed. She was very special and truly left her legacy for the world to memorialize. Rest in peace with your husband Prince Phillip. Forever Together.
I loved her more when she reached her 70th jubilee. For the 70th anniversary of King George IV’s death; my grandmother was quite stunned by my fashion and my funeral dress was appropriate for the occasion. Hopefully the 72nd anniversary of his death will be a lot calmer than before because I celebrated the 71st anniversary in hospital which was absolutely horrible.
I’m am from the the Republic of Ireland and I just want to say this is the most wonderful and fitting and emotional procession I’ve ever watched. Truly worthy of a brilliant and noble lady who will be sadly missed . Well done people of Britain and the Commonwealth for the way you honoured your Queen . Rest in peace Your Majesty
This is how our military pay our final respects to our Commander in Chief. As an ex squaddie I know how they would have practiced this many times and spent hours and hours on their uniform and boots. Thats as it should be, being chosen is a great honour. That said, this was truly beautiful to watch. The pipes, the drums, beautiful.
I was one of the 200 everyday people who received an MBE in the Queen's Jubilee Birthday Honours and was invited to attend the State Funeral. I will never forget sitting in silence in Westminster Abbey with royalty, heads of state, and everyday people listening to the sound of the bagpipes getting closer and closer to the Abbey.
Me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were watched by the crowds in Wales, it made everyone cry as expected and I’ll never forget the moment my 2009 Woodys grief gone viral with thousands commenting at one time. Then me, my 2009 Woody, my dad and Woody.EXE attended Remembrance Sunday for the first time since my 2009 Woodys grief went viral and it happened again at Remembrance
The drums and pipes must have given you goosebumps. I still find this extraordinary, sadness and pride mixed - and I'm not even much of a Royalist. I suppose this is my country at its finest.
Thank you, all the messages from around the world have been inspiring to a lot of British people, our Queen meant a lot to the world, we British looked to her, she was the spirit of what Britain represented to the world. God save the King
Woody.EXE also did the best tribute ever and I was honestly not expecting him to play the bagpipes as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister and Mummy walked downstairs behind him. Mummy cried immediately as I did
Pride, dignity, tradition, awareness that we all are just temporarily here. I am Croatian and after watching The Crown I changed my mind about her majesty, her life was a big burden, responsibility and sacrifice. Rest in peace.
I am born and bred ENGLISH; Queen Elizabeth II was my sovereign Queen, all I ever knew; For those who loved her It was a very hard time; For us British we saw the end of THE ELIZABETHAN AGE; And when CHARLES III was crowned, it was the start of THE CAROLEAN AGE; From the moment Elizabeth's Father, George VI died, she made a vow to GOD that she would reign the country and serve her people and she did to the very end; This among anything sets the UK apart from all other country's; And we know how to give a good send off;
August 2023, and I'm still saddened, but at the same time proud to be British. I doubt that there is another country that could have achieved this incredible spectacle without it it becoming a Ruritanian operetta. Well done to the thousands of people involved. You did the country proud.
i still weep at her loss. these were special moments. what a beautiful piece of music. God bless our beloved Elizabeth. May her and her father's example of service to community resonate in the ages. God save the King ! 😔
Woody.EXE did the most moving tribute no one could’ve done but him. It made me, my 2009 Woody, my sister and Mummy cry. We were all watched by the entire Wales nation and I’ll never forget it
You are not an Irishman, you do not stand against the atrocities that have been forced against millions of people around the world. Do you really think it is a terrible loss when Trevilian watched millions die in the famine.
The most emotional part of her Majesty's funeral for me. Pure brawn to pull the carriage, no need for animals or machinery and you could see the strain both physical and emotional on the ratings faces. The music paired with the plain sailors uniforms and their immaculate slow march timing, no finery, is something I will never forget. It summed up how everyone felt, and the expression of sorrow on King's Charles's face show just how human the royal family are. Thanks for posting this fitting tribute.
I so agree. This is something the UK does so well. The Armed Forces and the Police and all the other services were absolutely amazing. So proud of our country as we said farewell to an amazing Queen. God bless her, may she rest in peace and rise in glory ❤🙏
Horses were used to pull Queen Victoria's coffin, however they started misbehaving so junior sailors were called in. It has become the tradition ever since
Its a year since she was here now she has flown away never to set her eyes on England Ireland Scotland wales ever again, fairwell you were a true friend of our tiny Island you truely were our friend
Flat out, the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Absolutely soul stirring. Nothing like the bagpipes with those drums. A fitting tribute. Rest well, eternally in peace, HM Queen Elizabeth ll 🇬🇧
I am watching this 2 months after Her Majestys passing. It moves me very much after finding out Britain and Scotland are where my ancestors came from. Beautiful procession for the Queen. Proud of my homeland!!! I am from the USA!!
Oh dear, am in floods of tears again. I watched all the proceedings on tv, from the "scrambling* of her children to Balmoral to be with her until the final journey to Windsor Castle. So so moving. I was eight when her father passed away so she has always been. " my Queen ".. And I'm "old school" - if the national anthem is played I always stand. E❤
This will always be the defining moment of the days events for me. I've lost count of the times I've watch it and I tear up nearly every time. It made me think about the fact that nations are built on commonality, a shared history, a shared sense of identify and shared destiny (whatever that might bring) and so, if this means nothing to someone living here. I might respectfully suggest they look for somewhere else to live, for they do not belong here!
I couldn't have put it better myself Mark.. I've watched this countless times and somehow I always shed tears... I'm utterly proud of EVERYONE who took part..... After, just over a week of the announcement of Her Majesty's death, I can't believe that she has now gone.....
Exactly the same here.... This, by far was the most moving... I'm not a Royalist but this definitely made me bawl like a baby. I literally had tears running down my face...
Well, it’s so mournful and then the Big Ben bell tolling in the background adds to it. I get tearful every time I watch this. Love the snare drums, too. It was the perfect thing to play for the procession between Westminster Hall and Westminster Abbey. I don’t think it was played at any other time.
I was a piper in the Scots Guards and this tune was played for the Queen Mother. Same up beat tempo to keep the tune in check and the procession moving. The sovereigns piper Paul Burns is a good friend of mine and played on many tattoos including Edinburgh and worldwide. A very poingnant event of sadness and pride for all.
Bagpipers in a funeral feels so hauntingly scary for me, and this is one of the reasons why. And also one of the most beautiful. RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II, Canada is glad to have you for 70 years.
An American of Scottish heritage. I watch this again for about the tenth time. Scotland was so honored by this magnificent procession, as the procession for her mother. Nobody else in the world capable of this. God save her indeed.
Me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were already in procession at the time this was going on and it was Woody.EXE who planned this under a week. Nearly 6 months later, I have this feeling I’m in the procession again every time I’m walking down those stairs. I love you Woody.EXE for paying an incredible tribute to the Queen, I was not expecting him to be playing the pipes either
This is without doubt my favourite bit of the funeral, utterly flawless, breathtaking and mesmerising, I just keep coming back to it ! So well done to all who took part in this momentous occasion, rest in peace my Queen.
Marvellous and thank you. For me it was one of the spectacular moments of the funeral service. The thought of HM The Queen - gentle, lately frail - borne on a gun carriage by the might of the Royal Navy to the stirring, sound of bagpipes and the razor-sharp attack drums was very moving. Glad also to have the melody identified - many suggestions have been made on RU-vid videos but this is it! The pipers' melody is Chì mi na mòrbheanna (commonly known in English as "The Mist Covered Mountains of Home"), a Scottish song that was written in 1856 by Highlander John Cameron (Iain Camshroin), a native of Ballachulish. The song is a longing for home.
They play two tunes, the first indeed Mist Covered Mountains. And the second is "Mull of the Mountains" (Muile Nam Mór Bheann). They play both over and over
For me as an American it was sad to see hear of her passing. She has always been there. Our country changes heads of state every 4 or 8 years. The Queen was someone who was a figure that was there always since I was born. She brought stability and comfort. She will certainly never be forgotten.
Of all the processions, this was my favorite. I went back to re-watch it on BBC's channel, but they took it down. I'm glad I found it here. The bagpipes and drums are so haunting and beautiful.
@@alansmith6100 I'm American, and was wondering if they took it down because they were going to try and sell it? The State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II - The Box Set. Do they do stuff like that?
Closing in on one year since we said farewell to Her Majesty. The Queen holds quite a special place in the hearts of people everywhere in the world, not only here in the UK. So from this small Land of Hope and Glory, crossing the many Azure Mains to wherever you may be, thank you for remembering our much loved Queen. Best wishes! 💙❤
It’s almost one year since me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE did our procession tribute at home with 9 million mourners lining the route of my home St Julian’s just to watch all 5 of us live. I’ve never seen anything like it
I walked this exact route 3 weeks ago… The bass drum setting the pace The rap and precision of the snares creating the rolling rhythm Those pipes… over 100 of them, the wall of sound echoing through silent streets This will stay with me for a very long time Awesome and spectacular set against stoic, solemn sadness and respect
My mother passed away at the end of November 2019, around the same age as the Queen. Somehow it re-ignited and still does, my grief. Not just the passing of a marvellous Queen, but the end of an era, truly.
I still miss her Majesty. I am watching this again for about the 20th time still with tears in my eyes. I do not live in UK but I am so proud to be British. This was the very best of Britain. Long live the Monarchy.❤
Me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were already doing our procession at the time this was going on, I didn’t expect Woody.EXE to be playing the bagpipes either but he did just as good as London. Me and Mummy had the honour of being by Woody.EXE, then my 2009 Woody was with my sister for the first time in years. Exactly what Elizabeth would have wanted
Me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were already in procession when this happened. Wales got to watch our tribute because there were screens set up throughout Wales. The crowds cried over my 2009 Woodys grief and they said how heartbroken we both were. Woody.EXE halting the procession was the saddest part of the whole day because everyone finally got a glimpse of Mummy’s grief and wow even she was devastated. Just wow, I have no words
As someone who has served and taken part in parades, the sailors who formed up, and stepped off together, and towed a guncarriage weighting TONS off at a standing start, I would have been proud to have been there.
Ah, yes, the final words of the hymn, The Lord Bless You and Keep You. Haven't heard or sung the song in years. Always loved it. You chose fitting words for her departure. AMEN..(7x)
Breathtaking, absolutely in tears, watching the navy pull the gun carriage, when its exactly 9 years since i layed my dad to his final rest, he was bearer party at the queen's dads funeral, on the gun carriage .
Closing my eyes, while listening to the bagpipes, i imagine seeing Elizabeth hiking through the Scottish Highlands and i think, at least to my mere mortal eyes, this is how she wants to go as she ascends to heaven. Gosh, a year later and these songs bring tears to these eyes. I was born in Canada when she was just barely a decade into her reign as queen. God bless you Elizabeth.
As many others have already said, I also found this incredibly moving. I knew I would find Her Majesty's funeral emotional, but I did not expect to crumble so soon. The haunting Bagpipes and Drums did if for me. So, thank you for this video - it's the best one.
At least i didn’t see the Queens coffin come out of Westminster Hall because me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE we’re in procession already. Mummy was holding a photo of Her Majesty the Queen and i had the honour of placing it on my table with Woody.EXE’s permanent because he was going to do it. The crowd outside my house and throughout St Julian’s was incredible since they wanted to watch the 5 of us pay tribute to Elizabeth II
Was stood watching it broadcast in Bristol Cathedral at attention throughout, I haven't cried like that since my grandfather passed away and yet this seems to have hurt even more. As a veteran the pain cuts deep
There is so much culture and history in this and it is truly rare in the modern world that something like this continues to exist which is part of what makes it so awesome
This moves me to tears every time. I am so proud to have served and am truly saddened by the passing of such an amazing monarch. The massed pipes and drums add so much to the funeral. Beautiful tribute. I thought she was invincible.
Thank you for uploading. This moment when the procession started was very emotional for me and truly hit home that our Queen was finally leaving us. The bagpipes were majestic and I felt so proud of our country on this day. I will never forget that day
The whole of Wales gathered at my house in their millions to watch as me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE pay our tributes to Queen Elizabeth II in properly the most moving procession ever and the crowd started filming in a very respectful way so they could remember that moment for years to come. I also remembered the moment my 2009 Woodys grief went viral and he thanked the crowd for their positive comments. Then all 5 of us greeted the crowd after the funeral and they were telling Woody.EXE how incredible his procession was; I even overheard “She and Woody.EXE will be great monarchs one day!” The same crowd will be witnessing our coronation on July 20th, 2023 which marks my 21st birthday as I become Woody.EXE’s Queen
I have chills up and down my arms right now, as I did when I watched her Majesty's funeral. I knew I had to find out what this piece of music was. Glorious.
Me, my 2009 Woody, my sister, Mummy and Woody.EXE were already in procession at the time this was going on. I was not expecting Woody.EXE to be playing the bagpipes either but he said the Queen would have wanted that. I’ll never forget the grief of my 2009 Woody though, heartbreaking to see him like that
