God Rest Her Soul
I'm so proud to be British
Miss her
I'm in floods of tears. So poignant. My dear Queen, how much we loved her.
🥰🥰 big warm hugs🥰🥰
@@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS Thank you so much for you lovely message. Just getting over Covid so feeling more emotional than usual I suppose. Jerusalem was always my Mum's favourite too. xx
@@patricialavender2902 Your Mum has good taste Patricia. Jerusalem is one of my Favourites and I am going to have it played when I finally bow out 🙏
Our Queen xxx
I’m watching this in February 2024 and I’m still crying …… miss you dear Majesty and I always will …….
I know you are all in heaven wishing your son , daughter in law and granddaughter in law a speedy recovery ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Great reaction, people think we British are not patriotic, we just pick our moments. Love your channel.
For those who can't pick up the lyrics :)
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
How I love my country and countrymen and our ancestors to whom we owe so much
I miss the Queen. I know Charles is to be crowned King this May, and the street party is already planned, but I’m still not ready in my heart. God bless.
Well I don't think anyone is ever ready for death, but we can adapt to change :)
I agree not ready to let her go yet
Still brings a tear when I hear God save the Queen.... She was the life of the UK,, she was the glue that kept the UK together... 🙏 God bless the Queen, may she rest in God's eternal light.. 🇬🇧..
Island girl- you put a smile on my face. I am just an island guy, from the British Isles. Thanks for appreciating our traditions.
This hymn was actually written about the lost yrs of Jesus when he visited the south west of England with his Uncle Joseph of Arimathea when Jesus was a child hence the opening lyrics did those feet in ancient times ....
Lordie - revisiting this video moved me to tears. So poignant to remember last year when, suddenly, there was no more queen. A very powerful wallop of global history behind her unique reign.
I was 5 at the end of the second worlw war out side Buckingham palce and again in the mall for our beloved Queens Coronation and heard the crowd sing , now 84 and these song still make me emotional proud of of our Monarchy and my Country. God save the King
Oh wow. Thanks for watching and sharing that with me. 🥰🥰
Whatever you think of the UK, their patriotic songs are second to none.
And 10 years later she is gone. Left us after serving us for over 70 years. Now with her husband, Mother and Sister.
Rest well Ma'am
Duty Done
👏👏👏👏
It's lovely to see you enjoying our traditional music and just how proud a nation we are.
In these difficult and troubled times, Britain will always be a beacon of hope.
I much prefer 'Land of Hope and Glory' to our National Anthem; it's so uplifting.
Thank you for this reaction - love the Last Night of the Proms :) William Blake's poem which forms the words of the song wanted to remind us that we've not built a perfect Christian country, that we still have a long way to go before we have heaven on earth. Hearing God Save the Queen makes me so sad but I know when the Proms comes round this year and we sing God Save the King it too will be emotional. Most of our National Songs are hymns and not military marches which I hope says a lot about the British.
I'm a white English man seeing a black woman showing respect. There's no such thing as as black and white, just people with hearts of GOLD ❤
Jerusalem has always been a favorite of mine. When you start researching the reason William Blake wrote this poem it becomes even more amazing. The words led me into a need to understand the reasons and they are amazing.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
And the story of how Parry wrote the music is worth knowing too:
Sir Hubert Parry was a highly respected musician, Director of the Royal College of Music and Oxford Professor of Music. He was also an atheist (he would have said humanist) and a socialist. He really didn't understand why we were at war with Germany. Then in early March 1916 he was visited by Henry Walford Davies (an organist, choral conductor and former pupil) and the Poet Laureate, Robert Bridges. They asked if Parry would contribute something to a fundraising concert to be held later in the month at the Albert Hall. The cause was Fight For Right - a lobbying organization attempting to persuade the government not to seek peace with Germany. Parry was decidedly not keen on supporting such a clearly right-wing cause and said no. But he did allow Bridges to leave behind the Blake poem. Several days later Parry called back and gave them the music (singers in unison with organ) saying, "Here's a tune - do what you like with it". Maybe Walford Davies had thought that the rather left-wing theme of the verses ("the country may not be perfect but we have to strive to make it so") would appeal to Parry. In any case, the song went down well at the concert and sold well.
But then Parry withdrew all support for Fight For Right, and there was concern that he'd withdraw the song (he'd retained the copyright, so he could). Then Millicent Garrett Fawcett, one of the leaders of the Women Voters' movement (the Suffragettes, fighting for women's voting rights) asked Parry if they might use the song as their hymn. Parry was delighted and assigned the copyright to the Suffragettes. Parry died in 1918 in the Spanish Flu pandemic, and Elgar made the big-orchestra version for the Leeds Festival of 1922.
Come over to the UK for last night of the proms, you will have goose bumps on your goosebumps!
Our local brass band, has an open air concert at a stately home, picnic and prom's, best night to be had. 😁
Thank you for reacting to these two glorious pieces of music. Every time I hear them they still move me so much. We’re in good voice!
Canada misses her majesty greatly
I was there for this, and whatever you may feel having seen it, realize that it is only the faintest shadow of what it is to actually be there. This is the final concert in a series of seventy-plus stretching over eight weeks, and this is the "end of term party". One of the very few times when the patriotism within every UK citizen is allowed to surface. Brittens' setting of "God SaveThe Queen" was Her Majesteys' favourite, by her own admission. Incidentally, becauseof the way the Proms have worked over their 128 years' run (yeah, THAT long) the audience in the hall is proably the most musically knowledgeable on the planet. Anyone can attend, there is no dress code, tickets for every concert are available for seven pounds. Music from around the world in many different genres, sent out around the world. (Audiences for ordinary concerts can reach the millions, on TV radio and on-line.) The audience is not professional singers. I'm proud to be a small part of it. (Oh, and I can't carry a tune in a sack.). The "promenader" also raise around £100,000 per year to suport muscial and cancer-related charities.
I don't think I've ever heard another national anthem sung softly before. its beautiful
New to your channel, love your reaction. I am so proud to be British. I love going to last night of the proms every year. Keep up the good reactions.
Both great tunes ,.
Did you know the the American national anthem music is actually the music of a British drinking song
Great reaction you stay safe 👍
I like your island girlz this is a patriotic song which means a lot to the people of Great Britain and me I'm patriotic I love Great Britain in all its glory and faults, the orchestra is great always love your reaction some flowers, 🌹🌹🌹🏴
Beautiful music and voices that draw you in . Love your honest reaction to it , just by watching your face i could see you were drawn into it and felt the raw emotion of it all . Best wishes from the uk
Enjoying your series of reactions to music from the nlast night of the Proms. If you want passion in singing a national anthem then I recommend that you take a look at '65,000 people singing Flower of Scotland' at Murrayfield for a rugby international game against Australia. It raises goosebumps on the back of your neck.
Whilst God Save The King should remain for Great Britain for England Jerusalem should be the English National Anthem
I think so too🥰🥰
Hello from the UK. There's another pretty one from the Last Night of the Proms 2011 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Thank you for your lovely reactions Island Girl.
Just subscribed today love you reaction to our patriotic songs keep them coming
My nan always said that Jerusalem should have been our national anthem.
Our so beloved Queen - she will be forever in our hearts !
The British know how too put on a show ❤
Jerusalem, my Mom's favourite, I can hear her singing it now. RIP Mom x
🥰🥰
@@IslandGirlzHaveFlow05XBS Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! David x
Thought you would like the words to The British National Anthem. Keep up the great reactions x
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King
Jerusalem hymn is what should be our national anthem. God bless 🙏♥️
Love and respect from me in the UK. A patriot.

Makes me proud to be English

Loved it, loved your reaction.

Great reaction 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed❤
No appraisal of the Last Night of the Proms is complete until you have listened to Land of Hope and Glory.
Bring me my Chariot of Fire....Oh Jerusalem.....wonderful. Magnificent.
So the next one that will really blow your socks off, I Vow To Thee My Country. The Royal Marines video💝
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
I love your accent and how you said "Jerusalem". When you speak it sounds like every word is musical. 👍
Wow, thank you!🥰
Every Brit should aim to go once. Last Night is spine tingling. It makes me think of The Late Majesty now. way more emotional now.
`Jerusalem` should be the English National Anthem. What greater guest could any nation ever have or deserve to have than to have Jesus Christ ?
The proms (or at leastTHE LAst Night) is shown all over the world, including the US
Big respect from 🇬🇧 ✌️
i have lived in canada since 1967 but went back in 1978-1982 back to canada but every time i hear this song or see pictures of england my heart just wants to jump out
The brits Can sing !!
Ohhhh ... You picked the best video to watch!! ...This was such a sensational emotional tribute to Her Late Majesty..... She was an honest God fearing soul. She asked God for help many times. Many should ask God for help more. Faith is around the corner always ready to help. I miss her every day! When the music swells and everyone sings loud ....I sobbed because we all miss the respect she had and we gave to her for not having her own life here. She had to be impartial.... Rest in peace Maam!
Jerusalem was my old school song many years ago but I still remember all the words
My favourite. 💙
What a shame, I'm sure you'll get over it.
God rest our Queen lizzies soul...Jerusalem is a fantastic hymn...love this channel...island girl is an absolute smasher !
You will be welcome in this island, you're like a breath of fresh air ❤
You've earned a new subscriber ❤️🇬🇧🏴
I am not very patriotic but Jerusalem gets me right in the feels
Much love to you from the UK✌❤
Love it!...🇬🇧
We don't do patriotism too often but when we do, wwe go big!
The Royal Albert Hall is iconic. the best place to hear music in the World. IMO
Island girls have flow no doubt 😊😊😊🏴🏴🏴
Jerusalem is always sung before an England Rugby match by the crowd.
Stop. The cap. No its not
You do realise island girlz you will have to come to the proms one day, you are amazing as well you really appreciate the buzz of the crowds, I found this emotional every time I watch it, good reaction to a patriotic night at the proms, 🌹🌹 🇬🇧
The people singing behind the orchestra are the BBC Symphony Chorus the rest in the hall are general public.
Please react to General Levy shape if you hits 🇬🇧 🇯🇲 Music called Jungle
The best hymn and Queen ever
Love Jerusalem we have all learnt it at school so most people know all the words!!
Worth mentioning that the conductor, the late Jiri Belohlavek, was from the Czech Republic! And notice the flags are from all over the world. Loving your country doesn't mean excluding others.
Blessings Island GIrlz
This perfomance was from 2012, Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee year, 60 years on the throne.
Our Queen,gone.
Can’t help but think that will be the beginning of the decline of the royal family.
I’ll always be proud to be English first,British second though.
Every American on TH-cam has played this film .😢
Jerusalem reacts to suggestion that Jesus Christ went to England. The song is a meditation on the divinity of Christ and the reality of England's Dark Satanic Mills. A call to action to build a new Jerusalem. This song has been a call for generations of people who have fought for a fairer and more decent society
Jerusalem should be englands national anthem not god save the king. I’ve always hated our current national anthem as it’s about ONE person. Jerusalem encapsulates everything it means to be English
They sing a lot in Britain in the schools in public at football games - so they can sing. You just heard their National Anthem 'God save the Queen' - now the King of cause.
try watching them in 2011 where Land of Hope and Glory sang from by a glorious soprano and amusing too.
This bubbly beautiful gal makes me smile with her reaction videos since I first heard one of her shows I just had to subscribe to become one of her sweety pies ,etc.😄
Love you. Love Britain.
Love you too 🥰🥰
those four women standing there blandly with flags at the end of the anthem always make me laugh. they look so bored and yet are decked out in paraphernalia.
Very powerful music. I have seen three monarchs in my life
Water helps the voice
🥰
😅
I sang Jerusalemas a10 year old soprano in east London uk
Jerusalem is a much loved hymn in England.
How can u not like Jerusalem……so patriotic
Its just my opinion but I still prefer land of hope and glory
Irie sista! We are all island. Forgiveness da pass. Ya dem!
Jerusalem is always a soul stirring moment of the proms concert's.
This shows that Britons can come together as an immovable force in the world. Come on Brit's get the crazy gang on move again. 🇬🇧
Barmy Army is never far beneath the surface. We don't put our flag on every building, truck and dumpster but when the occasion is right we just 'Be British', Loud and Proud.
Sadly there is a part of the Establishment and politics that has taken it upon itself to take every opportunity to run this great country down. It is utterly shameful and no other country does it.
Rule Britannia!
God Save the King!
@@1chish we carry the pride in our hearts and show it by our actions. Not by indoctrination like the U.S. . Theirs is a forced pride.
@@jono.pom-downunder I cannot understand swearing allegiance to a piece of cloth or defending a Constitution written by very different people 250 years ago in very different circumstances.
I swore allegiance to a living person representing my country - Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. I wore the Union Flag with pride but my allegiance was to her as commander in chief. As plain ordinary citizens we are not, as you say, forced as US children are to parrot their Oath or Allegiance every morning. Its actually quite a disturbing thing.
Just for clarity, Jerusalem is an English song not a British song, I was confused myself as to why people wearing Wales tops would be singing this song, hey ho what can you do? Jerusalem should probably be the English national anthem as God save the King is a British anthem not English, just sayin'... By the way I love your accent and your smile and I think you're going to do well, that's not meant to be patronising.
Why not? I'm English and I know all the words to the Welsh and Scotish anthems and sing along with them. Stronger Together!
Checking in for another interesting reaction video.
I've been to 20 last nighta
love yopu too take care sland gtel
The qeen was like a mother to us
Sorry, but how can anyone come from Jamaica, which is part of the Commonwealth, and say that they have NEVER heard "God Save The Queen?" Jamaica is part of the Commonwealth, the Queen was head of the Commonwealth, how can you NOT know the UK National Anthem?
too young😊
@MichealHill I can guarantee you three quarters of Jamaican my age and younger don’t know these song. Even though Jamaica at been apart of the commonwealth these song weren’t never taught in our schools so how would we know them. Most of us don’t know much especially if you grew up in the country side of Jamaica like myself. There no reason for me to say otherwise. What the point of lying. Honesty is the best policy in my book. Thanks for voicing your thoughts. Have a wonderful evening one love🥰🥰
@@AbzScotland your right about that. Thanks 🥰🥰
I’m English and grew up in the commonwealth and other than Canada I don’t know any other Commonwealth Countries National anthem, it’s not that strange.
You have a very pleasant accent.
