A special performance by members of The Black Watch Band on tour in the United States. The performance was to become poignant as President John F Kennedy was assassinated only a few days later. First Lady Jacqueline Kenedy asked The Black Watch Band to return to play at the funeral.

"No one wounds us with impunity" great saying

When was the last time you've heard the Presidential march? President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy were so dignified and classy.

The regiment (650) men relieved 3000 US soldiers in Irak, 2004.

Flowers were never played at the funeral . The Black Watch played in the procession from the National Cathedral to the gates of Arlington cemetery . The US has no slow march for funerals so the Watch played tunes to keep up the pace with the procession .

Joe Kennedy (Snr) was a business associate and friend of Sir James Calder the distiller who had a Perthshire estate - JFK visited it before WW2 and learned to shoot grouse there.

The slow march at the very end is "Flowers of the Forest" which I recalled hearing at the time. "Amazing Grace" was unknown on pipes before 1971. I contacted the Black Watch for more information on their JFK material but was told they never played "Flowers" only some quick marches including "Brown Haired Maiden" during the Monday parade. The Air Force pipes played "Mist-Covered Mountains" at graveside. Does anyone know who or when "Flowers" was played? It must've been one of these 2 pipe bands.

9 days later, Oswald killed him.....without impunity. Since he was himself murdered 2 days after that.

@KeithWilliamMacHendry 4 года назад

You are so correct Chiku, Oswald killed John Kennedy & he did it alone.

@kcglide 4 года назад

@@KeithWilliamMacHendry and then Jack Ruby killed Oswald. I guess Jack knowing he himself didn't have long to live. I think he had a terminal cancer, he was the perfect candidate to do the job and may have made a nicely sum of money to help provide for his family after he was gone. Plus tie up any lose ends Oswald could have shed light on. You and I will never know.

@KeithWilliamMacHendry 10 месяцев назад

@@kcglide I beg to differ, Ruby's killing was pure opportunism & all the evidence if you bother to look into it shows that is all it was. The rest is wishful thinking & pure fantasy. He had no direct family of his own to the best of my knowledge in Dallas, that is offspring, the bulk of his relatives were in Chicago & never received money from any pay off as none was given to him due to him being the soul person involved in killing Oswald.

@KeithWilliamMacHendry 4 месяца назад

@@kcglide I beg to differ, Oswald did the deed & did it alone. the factual evidence is overwhelming. Ruby himself stated that it was pure chance & opportunity, Oswald should never have been paraded just to accommodate the press due to Oswald rightly receiving a punch in his pus (Scottish word for face) in the picture house during his arrest. Nae conspiracy ever existed, except in the mindset of the deluded wishful thinkers.

I can only think what he would say about trump

@pauleypavillion6088 6 лет назад

He would have said about time we have another great President after a horrendous 8 years of terror under thug-racist Obama.

@lisabradford8180 6 лет назад

he probably wouldn't have anything favorable to say.

@rustyc714 6 лет назад

No doubt he would have said: "even though Trump is too liberal for me, he sure as hell is the better alternative to the Socialist morons now running the Democrat Party"

You can bet your sweet arse, Kennedy wasn't an Obamanite.

Why is an Englishman in a Scottish regiment? That major wasn't anywhere near Scottish

@Damo2690 7 лет назад

Maybe he was really really posh. Like Rose Leslie from Game of Thrones, she is from Aberdeen but doesn't sound like it.

You don't have to be scottish to serve in the regiment.

Many officers in Highland (and Lowland) regiments have dubious Scottish connections - their accents are from the "deep south of Scotland" - around Surrey and Berkshire etc.
