Show your respect/loyalty on the anniversary of her majesties death! With a comment...Closing stages of the queens funeral. "sleep dearie, sleep" bagpipes: Now that was sooo beautiful! Very fitting for her!
@barry1371 Anyone with a brain knows the closed doors scenes are fictional, but it did highlight that she likely chose this piece with her death in mind
This lament is absolutely beautiful. I remembered watching her funeral and getting goosebumps when this lament started. Now after finished watching The Crown, I know the name, Sleep Dearie Sleep. What a fitting tribute.
@@northscot9862 that’s true I know my Scottish boyfriend isn’t happy that Charles is king that’s for sure his response to me at the time when the queen had died and Charles was going to be crowned : now Charles is king ugh ! He also voted yes in the last two independence referendums so he’s definitely of that view . The sooner you have independence and autonomy the better just how I feel about it . I feel as strongly about that as I do a united Ireland that could happen as there are clauses in the Good Friday agreement that would allow for it it would just come down to the results of a border referendum and politicians that I’ve heard speak on it have said it’s no longer a pipe dream and not a matter of if but when . There is a beautiful Irish Gaelic proverb ni neart ni cheile ( no strength without unity ) and that is true to me because together they would flourish and be better off economically speaking to the tune of 35 million euro because it would be a single market economy instead of a dual one which is the present reality . As for Wales they deserve autonomy too and not having to have their leader based in Westminster instead of Cardiff as whoever is the current English pm is also leader for wales in this day and age that’s preposterous !
I normally don’t cry when the death of public figures is announced, but I remember feeling so devastated after hearing of Her Majesty’s passing, and watching the final season of The Crown made those feelings come back. There will never be another monarch like her
Absolutely. For me though, the final lament at the Windsor committal service was more poignant. The crown, sceptre and orb were removed from the coffin before it descended into the vault, after which the piper piped his final tune and marched off into the distance. For me, that was the moment the Queen left this world.
I’m pretty much soulless but when I heard those pipes taking her through the street I almost cried it was incredible I don’t remember a time in my 40yrs as a Scotsman where the pipes have sounded so incredible it was really something to witness.
For a time, the world was brought together to mourn the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I doubt any one person in History, has received such an outpouring of grief and sadness at their passing.
I remember the day of her death brought my mother and Woody very close after all those years she finally trusted him. Mummy agreed to Woody joining us for the funeral and the procession from my bedroom to the living room was planned by Woody himself and I thanked him for it
normally i cant stand the bagipes as they make me cry and make me sad even though it is a beautiful sound but this song has struck a cord with me sleep well your Majesty
@@richardmurphy4520 There is no celebratory tone whatsoever within that piece of beautiful music. The only vulgarity is from your ignorant comment. If you live in the UK and dislike the Monarchy, you are always welcome to move to another country without one.
A Great Lady... ♪ Soldier, lie down ♪ ♪ On your wee pickle straw ♪ ♪ It's not very broad ♪ ♪ And it's not very braw ♪ ♪ But, dearie, it's better ♪ ♪ Than nothing at all ♪ ♪ Sleep ♪ ♪ Dearie ♪ ♪ Sleep ♪
Oh dear. If someone had played this on BGT they would surely have stopped it after a minute or so....or was there something wrong with the acoustics/mic?
Why this music is no emotional and iconic ?? I can't figure out she was the queens of a country which ruled and made suffer so many countries but still this music
I may be a stupid American but I know the major points of the monarchy and I can say with some confidence that it fell apart when she passed away. Long live Queen Elizabeth and God help those who come after her.❤
The late Queen Elizabeth II would’ve been very proud of Woody.EXE today if she had met him. Woody.EXE made me Queen the day she died and I’ve now been Queen for 2 years. She would’ve been very proud of him
@@stewartgillis4851 Typical retort from a dirty royalist & fascist tory that has been brainwashed from birth to accept that because someone dropped out from between a certain pair of legs that they should be venerated and put on a pedestal from cradle to grave.
How then do you explain the bit where the Queen's crown and royal regalia were removed from her coffin and the Lord Chamberlain's staff was broken in half? That is symbolic of the end of her wordly 'inequality', showing she has to face her Maker as an ordinary mortal the same as everyone else.
@45910 Thank you, Karen, for interjecting with your absolutely useless, rude and unhelpful bit of information. I'll bet you're just as much of a peach in person as you are to complete strangers on the internet.
@@hally4561 I just started to watch the crown from the beginning just got a box set of it for Christmas and the queen seemed like a figure that would always be here! So it came as a shock when she did pass away I’m not from the UK or the Commonwealth but I had a lot of respect for the queen I had watched her Christmas message for about five years now and I did watch King Charles III did it, but it just wasn’t the same. He did an excellent job. He tried his best, but it just wasn’t the same! rest in peace your majesty
This without doubt was the the most moving single piece in the whole of the funeral. Something I will never forget. Well done Scotland,well done England, well done Wales, and well done Northern Ireland. Well. Done Great Britain, we are stronger as one, we should always remember that. Thankyou also to Ireland for showing your respect.
The slow fading of the pipes into the background beautifully captivates and resembles her majesty’s soul leaving all in attendance to with her God and precious Philip. May she forever rest in peace, Farewell Elizabeth II - From a proud Ulsterman. God save the King Faugh A Ballagh.
I watched the last episode of The Crown last night, which touched me deeply. Honestly, the tears where flowing. I'm 59 years old now and the Queen has been there all my life. It's still a little unreal that she's gone. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth.
She was my Queen for 20 years and Woody.EXE got to see her final 48 hours of her reign. He felt very honoured watching this funeral with me and Mummy in 2022. 5 months later, I became sick and almost died at 20 and Woody.EXE can’t watch the Queens funeral again because he imagined it being my funeral in 2023. My illness affected him greatly and he still dreads losing his Queen a year on but I’m recovered now and that’s all he needs now
Just to set the record straight, Sleep, Dearie, Sleep is actually a Gaelic lullaby and has traditionally been played as a military lights out tune (see the movie "Breaker Morant"), and would have been played for The Queen at the end of the day many times during her life. The Queen's Piper was playing it, for her for the last time, at the conclusion of the funeral.
Breaker Morant?! I would never have picked that. You heard one bagpipe tune, you've heard them all, not really but I would never have known it in Breaker Morant
The first time my wife learned about the story of Sleep dearie sleep to Queen Elizabeth,my wife has been singing that tune everytime she puts our kids to bed every after their bedtime stories.
Through all the readings and everything else, but its the lone piper that reduces you to tears and makes your whole body shake.... words can't describe the beauty of the bagpipes ♥
Agree... I went to Scotland 25 years ago, and was struck by the vitality of the place. The culture is closer to Iceland. the Nordics, and the music clearly reflects that heritage.
This beautiful piece of music gently guides Her most Beloved Majesty into heaven. Angels escort ,as she enters the kingdom of heaven. God: “Welcome home Your Majesty”. I am moved in a profound way, along with the significance of this piece, not to mention that Her bagpiper played this piece for her before her slumber. I could actually feel that he may have been holding back his tears. You absolutely could feel the great sadness and respect for his Majesty, especially when the music faded.
Just when you thought you were beginning to accept she was gone, the end of an era, the likes of which will never be seen again, rest in peace your Majesty
@@nicolelawless9942 Not unusual to die at 96, and none of her unelected, under employed, global land pariah £ trillionaire offspring will mourn you when you pop your cloggs.
I shed a tear as her late Majesty left her beloved Balmoral and again when the lone piper played at Westminster Abbey! The pipes get me every time. Some have said her Majesty wanted a short service and didn't want to bore people (or even bore God!) So like her late Majesty to 'read the room'! God bless you Ma'am and thank you for your wonderful service to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Commonwealth and the world.
coming back here after watching the Crown just made my heart and soul move.. I never knew the Queen has chosen this song to be played before she passed.. Rest in Peace our beloved dearest Queen Elizabeth❤️
These pipes are perfectly tuned and perfectly played. I've been playing for over 40 years and had thought that pipers today had forgotten how to tune the instrument. At least one piper still understands what sounds best. God rest Queen Elizabeth. There will never be another sovereign to match her.
I MUST Say...... as an American, USN Veteran, and friend to the British people, I was watching Queens Funeral on BBC channel, and this was the B E S T rendering of the 'pipes as it faded .....to Eternity..... Even my 18 y.o. daughter who weep a bit as it faded said, " ....I could hear this, Forever...." God Save the King!
My grandfather (pipe major, The Black Watch) told me that the last tune on the pipes (as the coffin in lowered) is the piper walking out into the light, thus giving the spirit 'the way' to the light. Their funeral (last tune) is the Flowers of the Forest, belive the Canadians, Australians and NYPD now do the same, as a last gift to the dead.
I always thought that The Crown was about the British Royal Family, but not so after seeing Sleep Dearie Sleep. It was about Her, it was in fact a love letter to Her.
I was holding it together before this started playing and I poured my heart out and then it being followed by fantastic in c minor but Bach just crumpled me
Is there a more gut wrenching instrument than a Bagpipe, it’s melancholy echoes deep in your soul. It finds the deepest well of sadness and brings it forth in the most powerful of terms
Good god we brits have the capacity to shine beyond any barriers, I’m English but the Scot’s and their traditions particularly the pipes move me to tears I sincerely hope Scotland don’t leave the union we’d be weaker and we’d lose so much , I’m not forgetting the beautiful welsh and the strong NIrish
The bagpipes playing and watching him walk away out of sight fading far far away at the service in St George’s Chapel at Windsor was just has sad, watching the long walk really felt like the music was taking her home to Philip and her mum and dad.
