My great uncle was a Pipe Major, British Army, at the 2nd battle of the Somme. He died leading men over the top of the trench. He went first. That kind of courage is in my blood, too. I can feel it. I get a powerful feeling of pride and gratitude whenver I hear the pipes and drums, particularly on Nov. 11th.
Thank you for sharing the story of your courageous great uncle, heroic men like him will remain in our hearts forever.” “A beautiful soul remembered.” Being British I also get patriotic & full of pride when I hear the pipes & drums.
My great grandfather died at the Somme as a Grenedier Guard and his son my grandfather flew Spitfires . I'm so very proud of them and NEVER forget what they and others did for us . RIP GOD BLESS 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am not British and never was a fan of England, but as the son and grand son of former soldiers, I respect those who laid down their lives in the line of duty, defending the nation. My late grand father fought during WW 1, and my late father fought during WW2 along with British and other soldiers from the common wealth, first in North Africa and then in Burma. He lived to old age and passed away in his sleep at home, many of his comrades in arms did not have that luxury. These monuments and commemorations should never ever cease , it is what keeps civilizations alive. God is kind
Hundreds of thousands of Commonwealth troops fought and died in the 1st and second world wars for Britain, including my grandfather and his brother. Their widows never received a widow's pension! These brave soldiers are not even acknowledged at these events!!!
@@hguner-iz9ku Oh yes they are! The commonwealth soldiers who fought in both world wars and other conflicts are fully recognised. At the Cenotaph service tomorrow, all ambassadors from Commonwealth countries are invited to place their wreaths! So do not talk nonsense!
What a lovely service but we mustn't forget all the so called far right British patriots all standing and joining in remembering the fallen. Far right my foot. Total media crap as usual.
More like a bunch of brainwashed wannabe thugs with no brain to conduct any logical thinking to determine right from wrong, hence being led by the likes of Tommy Robinson who led them towards Chinatown and ditched them all in a taxi. Far right need to wake up and realise they’ve been fed a pack of lies ever since their racial hatred ideology was perceived.
@@flatlinerking It’s called a counter protest and is 100% called for given that we have jihadis running around the streets waving ISIS flags calling for eradication of Jews on 11/11
@@flatlinerking the FLA/far right came down to start violence, simple. If they were properly informed what Armistice actually stood for and had a brain to think, they’d know they’re in the wrong. Look at their videos, pissed on stellas and fosters by 12pm and barely able to utter words let alone stand straight or go about with their opinion peacefully 😂😂
For an important event such as this, the marching could have been practiced a lot more and to look professional, it looked like a bunch of boy scouts marching, shameful.
@@ItsCalled-Footballhere we go, another brainwashed mug that takes his news from the TV and ill-informed racist leaders. If that Pro Palestinian march was gonna be gruesome a 1) the FLA lads and any other far right group would not stand a chance against 500k+ heads, 2) if what they believed what you reckon they stand for, it would have been carnage instead of a peaceful march and also not observing a 2 minute silence for the respect of Armistice Day; a day that marks an end to fighting - something which they’re marching for? ‘Ceasefire Now’ means an end to fighting, not ‘Let’s Bomb Israel’. Wake up pal.
@@ItsCalled-Footballyes definitely. I mean it was only headed by the Jewish community who happen to hate themselves and love Isreal for committing atrocities in their name. The media has you believing it is a muslim vs joo issue when it isn't. I'm guessing your dumb arsen doesn't even know that Christians are also kil*Ed in Palestine and priests attacked and nuns spat at by those Isrealis you seem to bump lick. Of course you do, I mean it's all over the Internet and RU-vid, even though they try to censor it. (Deliberately misspelled)
