The Last Post 

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." Lest We Forget

This was played at my dads funeral, coffin draped in the Australian flag and fellow Air Force men saluting. I'll never forget it.

100th anniversary of the end of the Great War. We shall not forget.

I was 18 when I was sent home to bury my best friend from my unit and it’s been ten years today… this hits home, much love from a former Canadian infantry soldier

I will be blasting this on my Bluetooth speaker at the end of the drive way with the wife and kids tomorrow morning

101 years after the war ‘Lest we forget’

Thank you to the brave, young Australians who fought to make Australia what it is today.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." 🌹Lest We Forget🌹

Today is the day :( Thank you for fighting in war Lest we forget

May the fallen soldiers ly and Flanders Fields, And may they rest in peace... 😔🙏🙏🙏

Tis' 2019, and that day has come once again. Let us commemorate those who have fought for us once more.

My grandad was at Normandy. He died at 90 and representatives from the UK military came and played this. Solidarity stood stands them apart. The most important generation ❤️

Don't forget the New Zealanders. Thats why it's called ANZAC day. Australia New Zealand Army Corps. Rest In peace Grandfather...

Who ever disliked this should be ashamed, men laid down their lives to save us and our country. To save us going through and to war, to bring peace to our land and joy back home

RIP to all those who died fighting for their country 🌹

Today's politicians sometimes make nationalist statements, but as a Turk, I can say that we are aware of the difficult conditions both Turkish and Anzac soldiers fought and sacrificed in the war in Gallipoli, and we share the same pain. Finally, I would like to share the message that Atatürk, the founder of democratic and secular Turkey, sent to the family of Anzac soldiers: " Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

anyone who disliked this video is being very disrespectful of those who sacrificed our life for us.

Taking my moment of silence despite COVID. Lest we forget.

I have a trumpet at home and i play this every remeberance day for my grandpa who was in the war he didnt die in the war he came home safe but i still play it for him

This hits hard, it was played at my grandads funeral as he served in the nz army and today also marks the day my great great uncle died going over the top at The Somme. RIP Peter Tier (grandad) and RIP Pvt Malcolm McCall

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. God Bless all of those Anzacs who fought for our country, Gone but never forgotten.😪🙏🏻

I'm an American and this still levels me. Much respect.

Every remembrance day I come back to this page, unlike it and then re-like it again.

This was played at my grandads funeral today and it was one of the hardest days i have ever came up on rest in peace to all of the soldiers that have died for our country x

Lest We Forget.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest We Forget!

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

At my local war memorial now playing this and paying my respects. We Won't Forget.

In honor of her majesty who passed away at 96 years young “ God Save the Queen!”

I wasn't sure what to do today so I played this by myself.

Well... I'm going out onto my driveway for the dawn service.

102 year anniversary We will never forget! Rip... Thank you again

May we always remember the ones who served, I’m proud to be at the dawn service tomorrow lest we forget

R.I.P to all the soldiers that died to serve our Country by the RU-vidr Henry's Room 🌹🌹💖💖💖💖

Ngl me and the kids at my school would always die trying not to laugh when this played at school every Remembrance Day. Like we fr had to practice listening to this and not laughing the day before the school assembly. I had no idea how serious this is until way later.

I hope every Australian saluted when watching this video

It hurts to see this this years generation ( my own generation ) is trying to make a mockery of ones who served for our freedom. It shakes me to be apart of this generation. we can’t be respectful for atleast one day? Can’t they take One minute of their day to have a moment of silence? it hurts to see this. I’m not even sure my kids one day will grow up learning about remembrance day.

ok so nobody else laughed when they played this at assemblies then

We will get through this corona-virus , even at home. They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them For the years Condemn At the growing down of the sun And in the morning WE WILL REMEMBER THEM Lest we forget

I'm learning this on trumpet to play at my school on Remembrance this year. I'm so proud to be able to.

The goosebumps.. Lest we forget. -Sonny

11 oclock rn for me

Listening this after Hear News About Prince Philip is dead 😔

That's important to our school when it's ANZAC day

Thank you to all the soldiers, and may you rest in peace ❤

The last post always makes me cry, I’m just standing there tearing up.

All the people who disliked this Why have respect for the love of god

🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 Proud of the Kiwis that fought for us

We will not forget . For my Nana and my grandpa who served who have now passed . As the sun goes down and in the morning rising I think of you both

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

My great grandfather (my dad’s side of the family) was an air pilot in WW2. I never knew him personally as he passed away years ago but I honour his memory every ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. They are sad days but days for respecting and honouring my late family member. They will be missed regardless. I love my family dearly.

On this day, 1915. 104 years ago, two young nations made their debut on the world stage. Australia and New Zealand. Through a baptism of fire. trudging through the depths of hell. The sacrifice of many, mates, brothers and cousins. They died in hell, but they reside in heaven. They will never be forgotten, we thank you from now, to eternity. Lest we forget.

USA, Britain, France, Russia, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia...These were the Allied countries who defended against the axis powers, The Reich, Italy, Japanese empire... I thank you all for your. Courageous efforts to defend against the axis powers... you are all truly remarkable and brave men god bless you all

God Save The Queen. Long Live The King.

Rip Queen Elizabeth II 💐

2019 ANZAC Day Dawn Service Speech by Corporal Mark Donaldson VC "Two men at Lone Pine stare down the trench at the camera, a typical image of Gallipoli, surrounded by earth and sandbags - sods of grass and harsh vegetation reach over them providing a false sense of protection. In a junction, one man standing in trousers, shirt, short sleeves with his webbing slung over the top. His rifle is a leaning stick, a long bayonet attached obscures his face ever so slightly. The other man, on one knee as if in a pose. Shorts, shirt, sleeves rolled up, ready for what may come. His rifle at the high ready, bayonet attached. Both looking extremely ordinary, ready to survive, ready to fight, slouch hats on. We do not know what they did, if they survived, if they died? What adrenaline charged emotions prepared them to face the unknown...and do it again and again and again. We tell our young Australians it is an ANZAC spirit, but perhaps it is more than that. On that Gallipoli peninsula would be nearly 400,000 casualties in total - 36,141 young Australians and New Zealanders, among thousands of others from Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. A beach, ridges, gullies and slithers of dirt are forever written into our histories and further still on the Western Front Battles which shaped an awareness of how we as nations fared in the global scale of warfare - scale measured from the sacrifice of the ‘ordinary’ Australian. Walter Downing was at Villers-Bretonneux in 1918. ‘The moon sank behind the clouds. There were houses burning in the town, throwing a sinister light on the scene. It was past midnight. Men muttered “Its Anzac Day,” smiling to each other, enlivened by the omen’. Cheering, our men rushed straight to the muzzles of machine-guns, not troubling to take them in the flank. There was no quarter either side… [The Australians] killed and killed. Bayonets passed with ease through grey-clad bodies... Charlie Stokes was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his efforts that day. But he was haunted by them too. In later life, he confided in his children he had openly wept after the recapture of Villers-Bretonneux upon seeing what he had done. Perhaps, it is the capacity of all ordinary humans to do extraordinary things when coupled with extreme circumstance - to fight harder, to march further, dig deeper, move despite overwhelmingly odds and care for wounded mates, no matter what the personal imposition or risk - even if that risk means death. This is spirit worthy of renown, praise and of striving to achieve. This is a human spirit - the Anzac spirit. A Spirit that spans generations, defines what mateship means and drives us to be more than we ever imagined we could be. Like Kevin Dasher Wheatley in Vietnam who risked his life to rescue a young girl caught in the cross fire between forces, putting his life on the line for her. In his last action a fellow Warrant Officer, Ron Swanton was mortally wounded. Dasher refused to leave his side, armed himself with two grenades and stayed with him knowing he would be killed in defending his mate. That’s courage and mateship. For this he was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. Then there is Keith Payne. Isolated, surrounded on three sides, wounded in the hands and arms and under heavy fire, he covered the withdrawal before organizing his troops into a defensive perimeter. He then spent three hours relentlessly scouring the battlefield for isolated and wounded soldiers, all the while evading enemy troops, who kept up harassing fire. Keith found, organized and rescued some 40 men. Asked if afraid, Payne replied, "My God yes, yes, I was.” He was awarded the Victoria Cross. These are actions and inspiration to lean on in a time of crisis, hardship and foster our own spirit. We all sense fear in lives but must try not to succumb to it. Even the bravest are afraid. We honour their sacrifice by living a good life in support of others; respecting the freedoms given us and inspiring others to build a better Australia and stronger Anzac spirit. We should strive to be worthy of these sacrifices made for us. The Australian War Memorial was built on a promise - one our nation has a responsibility to uphold. A promise not just to an individual but for an individual… all of them… Those who served in the past, serving today and who will serve in the future. This place reminds those who wear our uniform that we care; that we are grateful for their sacrifice above self; that we have a place to reflect and that we will never forget - even if it is for just one of them. I urge the young people to visit, learn and be inspired by these deeds. Look at the age of those who went, who stood up and committed. They were your age, if not younger. That which we commemorate today and the brave and courageous behaviours we honour were undertaken by young men and women. There is a sobering reality that comes with service and sacrifice. A celebrated amazing feat can also be the worst day of another person’s life. The day that they never walked again, talked again or never returned home. Today and every day, remember all those sacrifices - those who suffered yet fought on and those who continue to do so today, not just in combat but also in support of others, who are now leaning on that spirit. We will never forget what those ANZACS endured and gave at Gallipoli. Be inspired by the sacrifice and spirit in the words of Cyril Bassett VC, A New Zealander recognised not for storming machine guns or rescuing wounded. His citation in reads: “…under continuous heavy machine gun and rifle fire, he succeeded in laying a telephone line from the old position to the new one on Chanuk Bair. He had to crawl into no man’s land to retrieve the separated ends and repair them with no shelter or covering fire, face down in the earth”. Of the 760 men, 711 were casualties. He was a reluctant hero, in his words is a powerful reflection: ‘I have a lot to be thankful for…. I do not want to skite in case my luck turns. When I received my medal I was disappointed to find out I was the only New Zealander to receive one from Gallipoli, because hundreds of Victoria Crosses should have been awarded there……. All my mates ever got was a wooden cross.’ LEST WE FORGET"

Lest we forget... the people who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and happiness

I WILL BE PLAYING THIS AT HOME AT 6AM WST ON SATURDAY THE 25TH OF APRIL 2020 AND I WILL PLAY SO LOUD MY WHOLE SUBURB WILL HEAR THE LAST POST! THANKYOU TO ALL THE VETS!!!

Had to watch my brother go under the ground along with his IAF friends saluting him for his valorous act of dying to save his unit from being overrun. Honestly miss him to this day.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Today is Armistice Day, let’s all show some love and grateful-ness for the ones who fought for our freedom. “At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.” Lest We Forget.

To who ever disliked this, I would like you to know that we Australians honour those who fought in war, and this song is a symbol of that. I, and many others, wish you a very unmerry day.

Rest in Peace Sir Captain Tom Moore💙

Lest we forget. All of these solders who fought for us, are always in my heart. ANZAC Day 2018. Poppy's, Anzac biscuits, medals are always with me.

In my school we did the most beautiful parade today and this piece was actually played and when the 2 minute silence ended I looked up and saw the sky sort of light up. It was beautiful

You Australians did your country proud. Nothing more to ask from you. - A Canadian.

God save our queen…

I'm neither an Aussie nor a Kiwi, but this always moves me to tears. I feel the significance in every note. My thoughts are with you all Down Under.

TODAY the nation of New Zealand was asked to stand in their hallway, by their front door, in their driveway or by their mailbox, on their balcony! Just STAND @6am. Our country is still in lockdown. This morning @6am I am standing at my mailbox in the dark & in a silence of 2mins! This is for the heroes who fought for my country. Only fitting with the covid19 victims. LEST WE FORGET 🌺 #NewZealand #🇳🇿

Lest we Forget

who ever disliked this video is not Australian they died for Aussies. >:(

The only time kiwis and aussies can unite 🇳🇿🇦🇺

My grandad used to play the Reveille at wake-up and the Last Post at day's end, during his national service (Polish Army). He was buried today, played out by a trumpeter, like him. Unfortunately I couldn't attend (COVID) but I had a few cans of his favourite beer and a few pieces of his favourite ham and kielbasa and I look forward to going and paying my respects when I can. They don't make men like him anymore, that's for sure; but we can try to follow the example he set. RIP

Every time I hear this, it sends chills down my spine thinking about my lovely Nan and Pop who served to make Australia what it is today. May you Rest In Peace together Nan and Pop 🕊💕 Thank you to all the brave men, women and animals who sacrificed so much, in order for us to live the lives we have today. Lest we forget 🕊❤️

Gets the tears on like a waterfall every time I hear it. The sacrifices made for us. Lest we forget. Love my land down under. Thanks to the bravery x

Lest we forget

Nothings can be more valuable than a soldier put his life on the line of duty for his country..🙏 🇦🇺 lest we forget 🇦🇺

deepest Respects to the Fallen Cede Nullis.....

We listened to this at school yesterday. Since people appriciated it so much we asked for it 3 times.

Some people need to show some respect for what the last post stands for rather than add pathetic comments God bless those who have given and those who are still serving.
