King Charles's speech was beautifully delivered. He taught Sunak about duty.
Didn't he just!😶
The Greatest Generation, Mark. 👍🇬🇧
Yes
All those brave men who fought and didn’t come back home. We will remember them always.🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you Mark. This is an emotionally overwhelming day. I can't actually describe how I feel as I watch these 'Celebrations and Remembrances'. I just know there's a large painful 'lump' clogging my chest and throat as I listen to what they went through. How many were lost, how young they were. That aside, above the emotion, is a truly immense feeling of Gratitude to these wonderful men and women who selflessly gave up everything - many their lives - so the following generations could be free.
Well said JJ
Saw Mr Biden’s speech on our news broadcast this evening…I believe that someone had written him the perfect impassioned “script” but unlike King Charles’s with his calm, dignified and modulated way of addressing the Veterans and dignitaries, Mr Biden did a shouty shout, air punchy, arm wavering “y’all gonna listen to ME now…” approach that I found rather off-putting - it was like how he would address his compatriots at Presidential rallies 😕. I understood the essence of what he was saying but the way he presented himself and his speech, it was like “calm down…calm down….we will hear you better if you stop yelling! 🙄”
Just my opinion Mark - no offence intended ☺️
Welcome to my world
I was in tears watching the ceremony this morning. Some of these brave men were just teenagers who gave their lives for us. What an incredible generation they were and we owe them so much. God bless every one of them.
Yes thank you Sue
Just watched the BBC coverage. Often pretty emotional stuff, particularly with the veterans who remain. Appreciated dude.
Yes very emotional
Thank you Mark. I watched it live this morning and wept all the way through. What a generation. They saved the world. Ordinary men and women, and they saved the world!!!
Queen Camilla looks lovely.
I was struck by her quiet self-effacing support of the king.
Nobody can imagine that intense fear they all felt. They only thought of surviving from one hour to the next. Thanks' Mark
Absolutely. Appreciate you
Yes Mark, such a day. Dan here . I think of my adoptive father, he was, newly recruited, about 18 years old, off the coast of France in D Day, an engineer in a minesweeper, clearing paths to the beaches, with shells from the great battleship guns passing overhead & pounding the shores in front. He only saw the enemy at a distance, except some prisoners.
His minesweeper went on to clear rivers like the Seine & later the Baltic Sea. Fortunately he survived the war, returning home in 1948, but went on to do the same job when one of the same, US built minesweepers was converted to serve as a pleasure cruiser for tourists in Scarborough.
Yes, I've seen some of these events, they do bring tears, but pride also. God save the King.
Awesome Dan. Thank you for sharing this
Hi Mark , I was watching the service at Gold beach in Normandy this morning tissue in hand 😢. You could see the pride and how much it meant to the veterans who made it home and how much they want to honor there mates that did not . I hope future generations carry on marking these events they should never be forgotten .
Agree thank you Clare
I did too, His Majesty was great there as well.
Some of us are old enough to remember a Country where it was peopled with these brave souls. As the years have passed, so have they. I feel so privileged to have known them, to talk to and laughed with them. As they say "old soldiers never die, they simply fade away ". They are fading too quickly. My thoughts are also with the D Day dodgers, who came through Italy. Will we see their like again? I hope that they are still with us, in spirit and in our hearts.
Thank you Catherine
I have to agree it was a wonderful speech.
I thought the wind sounded like an old bomber engine in the distance.
Oh yes that too. Thank you Josie
He normally writes his own speeches and while he will normally have them overseen by an editor before they are delivered they very seldom get modified. This because he normally (as here) gets it right. And as you say, while the 100 year anniversary would the the normal biggest celebration none of the D-Day survivors would be alive then. Probably not even for the 85th so this year's 80th anniversary is particularly poignant.
Thank you
However, The speech at the State Opening of Parliament is written by the Prime Minister and speeches at international conferences (The UN, CHOGM ect) and State Visits are approved by the Foreign Office.
@@Hundredyacrewoods Of course you are right.. Speeches like those are given on behalf on the Government of the day.. I was thinking of those given in a more personal capacity.
@@IainEPaterson I was aware, I was just clarifying.
I know some will not agree but, todays service in Normandy was just wonderful.
Very good
we owe so much , and soon this living history , will be resigned to the history books ,cherist these women and mens bravery courage and fortitude
Yes Mark, I saw the paratroopers yesterday…..but what wasn’t shown was that the spiteful and petty French authorities demanded that those from our brilliant Parachute Regiment, upon landing had to present their passports!! Not The US, Canada, Belgium or any other nation was humiliated in this way. How can they hate us SO much? I think it’s shameful.
Perhaps the French may have feared some of them may have been illegal immigrants disguised as paratroopers ?? They aren't as daft or as weak as us British seem to be.
If that's true, it's shameful. Yes we left the EU but like most Scots I was not by choice. I honestly wouldn't have objected to Brits having to show passports but to simply make an example of us, pathetic.
Yikes
@@TicketyBoo. It's true enough, I saw video evidence of it earlier today, on the Daily Telegraph Channel.
Pathetic.
Never forget!
Hi Mark, so moving, thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Mark. See if you can find video of the evening (5th) ceremony at the cemetery. Princess Anne does the speech and the drones and illuminations in the dark were very moving.
"balancing rights with civic responsibilities". Amen. We must lead by example and teach the children.
I looked for your reaction as I am sure you would. Eleven years ago I was in Normandy with my late brother. We had visited battlefields before in France and Belgium from the First World War and had passed through Normandy previously. Our trip ended up coinciding with the 69th anniversary. It is hard to imagine the scale of it all unless you are there.
There are a few things that stick in my mind. One, is the fact that village after village, as you pass through on your travels, you appreciate the love and respect. Not just public buildings but houses fly the flags of Canada, USA and GB in honour of their liberation. Secondly was at Pegasus Bridge. At that time there were more veterans and as party after party gathered at the bridge and marched across it the many people sat outside the cafe would rise and applaud. The road was not closed but every few minutes the traffic would simply stop and wait for the veterans to cross before going on their journey.
The final thing is more amusing. There are lots of re-enactors around. You drive along and regular see WWII armoured cars or jeeps full of GIs - or at least people in American uniforms. Large camps filled with people reliving a small part of that campaign. It was still somewhat disconcerting to pull into one venue only to find the car park full of Nazi vehicles and soldiers. Re-enactors have to play both sides but it did make us do a double take.
Our uncle was in command of a glider. He went over on D-Day as a young man in his early 20s and thankfully returned. Our father was elsewhere. He fought through North Africa and then was part of the invasion of Italy. They were known as the "D-Day Dodgers" and there are some films on the Italy campaign that are worth seeing.
This was great...thank you Paul
I have watched all the commemorations and was in tears but the one that got me the most was the BBC program shown on the evening of 5 June called Tribute to the Fallen from the Bayeux War Cemetery. Once the sun disappeared they turned all the lights out and then in blocks they lit every single one the 4000+ headstones. It wiped me out.
I have been watching the commemoration over the past 2 days, and is is very moving. A lot of these heroes won't even recognise the term, stating the heroes are the ones who didn't come home. I would also like to pay my respects to US Navy veteran Robert "Al" Persichitti, who was travelling back to Normandy as a veteran, but unfortunately didn't make it the whole journey. RIP to all - lest we forget.
Love your reaction …Please react to King Charles’s speech at the D-Day National Commemoration in Normandy today. Hope you can come here to London soon 🇬🇧
Nice thank you
Hi mark I apologise for requesting you check out Normandy ceremony as I am just catching up with your videos obviously in the wrong order I do like your videos and look forward to see more of what you cover
It's difficult to put into words how these anniversaries actually hit me. I was brought up by the generation that survived and those lucky enough to come home. Grew up listening to family discussions, eg "he's not the same" in hushed tones. Years later I've had the privilege to be a carer to some and always found them so selfless and discarding of the hero status we put on them. A few were a Spitfire pilot and husband and wife duo who worked with the underground in France. Action movies, sports heroes? Bugger off! That generation of men and women were exceptional in so many ways! Watching these survivors just makes me so emotional, humbled and grateful to them and the millions from all over the world who answered that call to do what was right!
The veterans maybe getting less and less but their stories and diary notes will live on.
Hi Mark, have you seen the CBS programme from 1962 when the by then President Eisenhower went back to the UK and Normandy with Walter Cronkite. It was called D-Day 20 years on and is on TH-cam. That BTW is before the big anniversary festivities started. Imphal and kohima btw are both in India which Japan was invading from Burma but 'there we go.'
Thank you
@@MarkfromtheStates BTW I should have typed 1964 above.......
Respect Mark to all of them - but did you know that the re-enactment was marred by french officials insisting on checking the passports of the British re-enactors! They let the Belgians through as they are still in the EU- pity they aren't so keen to stop illegal immigration , but that's another story- instead the disrespect shown is unforgivable during a ceremony to honour those that died freeing their country - sorry for the moan but it grates on me - hope you are well and the felines too -( they still hate us that much? Well the feeling is mutual)🏴
Obviously this should have been sorted out beforehand. But its true that not being in the EU has done a lot to prevent such countries as France from giving us more assistance with the illegal immigrants.
Crazy
@@georgeamerythey didnt give us any help before Brexit ! Just another way of showing their disdain for us - so why weren't the Canadians and Americans treated to immigration scrutiny? Not even in Europe never mind the EU !
Apparently people in Normandy always celebrate D Day and their houses are decked with flags including Union Jacks.
@@georgeameryIt has nothing to do with it at all, it’s it helping Ireland is it?
Mark, if you can you should listen to some of the stories from the veterans that attend.
Glorious words sir. It should go on to say, we few, we happy few…
Thank you Mark ❤
You are so welcome
I see Joe Biden made a political speech.
When isn't he... LOL
For the first time in 60 years a US president has not met the other UK party leaders before an upcoming general election.
@@MarkfromtheStates It's what politicians do.
Hi Mark yes full and total respect to all our servicemen from all the countries 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷 🇵🇱 🙏👏👏👏👏 everyone single one are Heroes. I don’t know if you know but The USA are playing really well in the World Cup T20 cricket 🏏 👍👏. Some is being played in the US and some in the West Indies
Uh what? Cricket? No way
Thanks for sharing Eisenhower’s speech Mark.
Thanks for listening
Beautiful ☺️
Its Trooping the Colour 9am (UK time) on Saturday 15th of June.
I can confirm the sounds you heard was the wind. Where the commemoration was held was only yards from the sea at Southsea Common close to Portsmouth
I've spent a lifetime in Remembrance because of my background and personal experiences and I'm so glad to see now that there are so many children involved from all the combatant nations because it's only be teaching the children to remember that we can help ensure there will be no repetition of 6th June 1944. Sad that Russia can't be involved because the war was ended on the backs of the peoples of the Soviet Republics, 35 million of them. It's such a shame that their current leadership seemed to have ignored that.
GSTK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I suppose it's the modern way that his speech writers won't mention the USA, Canada, the Anzacs etc. by name, but will shoe-horn the far-east campaigns into a D-day commemoration so they can mention Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims.
My grandfather served with a Sikh in France after D-day
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are included in the Commonwealth and the USA was amongst the Allies. Did you want him to list every country of the nearly forty involved? Many of the Windrush Generation were also WW2 veterans. Given the current racism and Islamophobia, I'm not surprised that he chose to be inclusive and point out that not everyone involved was Christian or Jewish. Good for him.
Well I liked it
It's an insult to those who were involved in D-Day that someone is wearing medals just to look the part, he should be ashamed of himself. Real medals are for heroes not plastic one for idiots
I watched Mark's video a couple of times but could not see anyone like you describe. ??
I think you should look up what the medals are for before commenting they are not military but commemorative
I obviously don't know the meaning of those but thought they were non service medals
@@jillbarnes199 Maybe but what have they got to do with D-Day. It is about what happened on D-Day,s. Queen 4 Jubilee medals (Nothing to do with D-day) New Zealand Armed forces Award.( What beach did they take?
@@MarkfromtheStates Hi So why would you wear them.
