    Wonderful Event. The British continue to demonstrate to the World their unique ability to orchestrate profound pageantry, patriotism, sacrifice, heartfelt dignity, and respect. Greetings from "The Colonies", and may God Bless the USA, UK, and the Commonwealth.

      And what if you don't believe in god? Not at all, or in another one such as Krishna, Allah, Jaweh, Ganesha, Hanuman or any of the thousands of other gods or godesses? This event forces all present to participate in a very christian service, including hymns and prayers, while (statistically) a large proportion of the population and of those present does not believe in this or any god. Isn't there something as separation of church and state? Realise that this is THE national event to remember and honour the fallen so keep your god out of it!

      I first attended Remembrance 6 years ago and I’ve been doing Remembrance Sunday ever since I was 15. Everyone in Wales knew I’d be a great Queen and I took the role at 20. I’m glad Woody.EXE made this happen and he’s about to do the 2nd Festival of Remembrance during his reign in the coming days from now. I can’t believe how far Woody.EXE has come in the last 15 months as he pays tribute to me his Queen after having a tragic year and he’ll also pay tribute to the victims of United 93 in this year’s remembrance event; when he opens up about my 3 weeks illness, I will for sure cry. I’m so proud of Woody.EXE right now

    The passchendale segment always gives me chills just a waste of life and even for the most seasoned of veterans at that time just not wanting to go over because they know they may not come back is just harrowing to think the things that that generation went through is purely awe inspiring because they managed to survive true hell on earth
    God bless the lost generation

While having worn the red poppy many times I do not think I have ever seen such a splendid ceremony honoring those who, like Americans, have given their lives in defense of our freedom.

    Wonderful event indeed. At time 1, 16.40 I am astonished over the similarity to the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus(1594-1632) written psalm Our God (Förfäras ej du lilla hop), but of course they lent melodies and words across Europe. Here =Our God, Our Help in Ages Past" is a hymn by Isaac Watts in 1708 that paraphrases the 90th Psalm of the Book of Psalms. It originally consisted of nine stanzas; however, in present usage the fourth, sixth, and eighth stanzas are commonly omitted to leave a total of six (Methodist books also include the original sixth stanza to leave a total of seven). In 1738, John Wesley in his hymnal, Psalms and Hymns, changed the first line of the text from "Our God" to "O God." Both Watts' wording and Wesley's rewording remain in current use.--The hymn is often sung as part of the remembrance day service in Canada and festive occasions in England (Wikipedia)

    Be still, my soul, The Lord is on thy side
    Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain
    Leave to thy God, to order and provide
    In every change, He faithful will remain
    Be still, my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend
    Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end
    Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
    To guide the future as He has the past
    Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake
    All now mysterious shall be bright at last
    Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know
    His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
    In You I rest, in You I found my hope
    In You I trust, You never let me go
    I place my life within Your hands alone
    Be still, my soul
    Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
    When we shall be forever with the Lord
    When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
    Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
    Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past
    All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last
    In You I rest, in You I found my hope
    In You I trust, You never let me go
    I place my life within Your hands alone
    Be still, my soul
    In You I rest, in You I found my hope
    In You I trust, You never let me go
    I place my life within Your hands alone
    Be still, my soul
    Be still, my soul
    Be still, my soul

      The Londoner Chill... I was just scrolling through TH-cam and I found a video of his performance by itself, so I went looking for the original video. So Tom Odell actually is the reason why I was watching the video. Also, I’m Italian, so I don’t get why I would have to be so patriotic for a different country than mine. Music can be interpreted in different ways, respect the other people’s opinion as well. I’m free to listen to music and comment on a TH-cam video (not being disrespectful in any way, contrarily to what you say)... free will right? Your way of thinking isn’t and should never be everyone’s.
      And with this I’m out. Your comment is so useless it doesn’t deserve any further attention.
