Wow, I don't even know the man they are honoring, but he must have been one hell of a man! That is an amazing amount of band members to honor him. May his memory be a blessing. Thank you to Mr Buckley for memorializing it for his family!
This saddens me because Richie and I were once bandmates in the old Irish Hibernian Club bagpipe band in NJ .. I moved out of state and lost touch ... Richie was one of the good ones , may God Bless him .... I always felt safe marching with Rich no matter what neighborhoods we marched through , because you know how everyone asks what we wear under our kilt ? Well , Rich wore his big service 9mm under his kilt .. he kept us safe... Yes, we were an Irish band ( Hibernian club) and we wore green , and we played as many Irish tunes as we possibly could with our Scottish pipes that play in that weird Scottish flatted 7th scale and we didn't worry about Irish vs Scottish because we were just proud to be Celts in this messed up world ...
This is a lovely sentiment. I'm of both Irish & Scottish descent myself. You said it so well. I had no idea that you guys matched through right neighborhoods. I sure miss attending Irish and Scottish heritage events. Sláinte mhath!
Wow this is amazing! I worked with Rich and he was such a funny, sweet and kind man. I would ask him how his grandbabies were doing, his face would light up and he would show me pictures of them. He was a proud grandpa. I looked forward to hearing all his funny stories, he would have me in tears laughing. God I can't believe he's gone. I'm really going to miss him. Rest in Heaven Rich. God bless his family ❤
The outpouring of love and respect shown by your Family, Friends , Brothers and Sisters over the last few days say volumes about the man you were....RIP RICH
I am so proud to have served under his command as a snare drummer in the Camden County Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. I miss him dearly and this video brings tears to my eyes. One of the worst days of my life!!
RIP ..gentle giant...big loving hug the family & friends... God gave us Jesus Christ friends, reminding us, death do not exist...exists only Resurrection...it hurts to say good bye, therefor, keeping memory alive makes us feel much better, you are invited to bring him a tribute and...never let him die at all
Just came across this video. Obviously this gentleman was much loved and honoured by his community. Would love to know the story behind this. Greetings from Ireland.
Just a question from a dim Brit. The desceased`s surname is Desmond and that is a very old English name, so why the Irish flag shamrock and Scottish pipers in Scottish rig. I am confused. RIP to the gentleman though!
almost everything in Scotland came from Ireland, even the name, from a Irish tribe called Scots that went to what is now Scotland. Whiskey, and even the language, for Gaelic means old Irish which is spoken there today. the family name Mc + Mac which is daughter or grand daughter off just like ò is for Son off. many of these families had settled in Scotland. So Scotland is like a clone of Ireland. hope this has helped you. ich wünsche dir einen schönen Tag 🤗
@@beergrills8155 England invented soccer so they are the only ones who can play soccer??? Wrong. Scotland invented bagpipes (maybe) so Scots are only ones that can play bagpipes??? Wrong.

Wow what a man

I've only seen this many ONE time, and it was the oldest scots fest in north America.
Never seen or heard anything like it. 400, marching in unison.

RIP Rich. We'll never forget your kind-hearted humor that helped ease our pain in the aftermath of 911... Godspeed.
One thing is
Wonderful sight and the sound of the pipes and drums is the best.

Was hat Irland mit Schottland zu tun 🤔
almost everything in Scotland came from Ireland, even the name, from a Irish tribe called Scots that went to what is now Scotland.
Whiskey, and even the language, for Gaelic means old Irish which is spoken there today.
the family name Mc + Mac which is daughter or grand daughter off just like ò is for Son off. many of these families had settled in Scotland.

hope this has helped you.

Class.respect
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam..🇮🇪
REST IN PEACE 😭😭😭🇮🇱🙏🌹
They're killing men and women for the wearing of the green
A Great tribute, but what are a couple of Drum Majors try to do? Knock a seagull down??
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis
삼가고 인의명복을빕니다
Irish flags? Scottish bagpipes and kilts?
in ireland we have bagpipes and kilts ie all Scottish came from Ireland
@@gunnerbyrne are u serious 😳
th-cam.com/video/PNeL0brHfgE/w-d-xo.html
Wish they wouldn’t fly Irish fish when bagpipes are played , it’s an insult to every Scottish soldier
To quote Sean Connery in the Longet Day..."Aye, it takes an Irishman to play the pipes".
The Emerald Society Scottish? Its Irish and bagpipes are also Irish and Uilleann pipes are only Irish. The Detective was Irish.
Which flag would you prefer they fly?
@@howiemcniff5405 just don’t want Scotland associated with Ireland, totally different people ..
