If you enjoyed this video, **click this link th-cam.com/video/gCl2GBe6-9Q/w-d-xo.html to watch my current video on the lovely Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire.** Since the days of Queen Victoria, Balmoral has been the UK monarch 's Scottish retreat. It is also where the late Queen Elizabeth Ii passed away. Janice x
It was a lovely remembrance ceremony. Strangely, it felt almost intimate. Though there were spectators, the crowds were not huge. I think the reason for that is not everyone is aware that this ceremony takes place on UK soil every year. To be honest, I didn't know until a couple of weeks ago
Great video! A slight note on titles: the head of state of Belgium is styled His Majesty The King of The Belgians, or Philippe King of the Belgians, not King of Belgium. As he is the king of the people, not of the land
Thank you for this information about the correct title to use for His Majesty. I have updated the thumbnail and the Timestamp in the description box. Though , unfortunately I cannot change the subtitles that are already on screen.
Belgium Royal Family And All Good luck 🙏🇱🇰 Belgium Royal Family And All Royal Family Good luck 💙💛💙💛⚓ Belgium Royal Family And People's Soldiers My Hero 🥇🌟🏆
Really wonderful parade! Nice to see the Belgian Royals on display, they are a huge credit to their nation. Belgium 🇧🇪 put up a valiant fight in 1914 against forces 50 times greater. The people blew up railways opening flood gates of dykes, anything to frustrate the Wilhelmine German onslaught!
WWI History, "plucky little Belgium" sounds somewhat patronising these days but the sentiment holds true. Reminds me of my ancestor, a great, grand uncle, DoW, WF, buried on Belgian/French border. I had custody of his medals for decades. They disappeared in 2006 in Australia after I emigrated in 2005. I replaced them in 2016, that is, bought new replica ones, which disappeared in 2023. I feel very sad about that as I looked after them very carefully so I am somewhat suspicious as to their loss. I'll be home for this year's Remembrance Day and one day I shall visit my great grand uncle's grave on the Belgian/French border and replace his medals again. Anyway, if Putin gets away with anymore of his expansion plans Belgium might have to stand up to the invaders again which would be the third time if such were to occur! I expect, in the event, that the UK would assist Belgium again. Hopefully, history won't repeat itself but can't say it isn't a very worrying possibility in the current climate. Yes, the loss of sound at the end of the ceremony is a bit unfortunate but otherwise the filming is quite well done for what I assume is mobile phone footage. Can't say I've seen this particular event before which is a bit surprising.
Tk you r his service. My bro had his medals and papers stolen twice, 3rd time the thieves ripped them apart. I have donated them to a nephew who will have them remounted and put into a frame with his fathers. God bless them all. Lovely memorial to all who served.
Richard , the current Duke of Gloucester is the late Queen Elizabeth 's first cousin. So , he is first cousin once removed to her children: King Charles, Princess Anne, Princes Andrew and Edward.
@@lrhyne49ableThats what i thought initially. However, if you type into your web browser '...what the Duke of Gloucester 's relationship to King Charles ?' , it's described as 'first cousin once removed '.
The man with the red tie was definitely not Prince Gabriel (20), who is about 10 years younger than him. I guess he was one of the belgian politicians or diplomat....?
I will be honest, it was a mistake I made due to a copyright claim. Once the video was published, I had 3 options: one of which was to mute it. I regret choosing that option as clearly I filmed the memorial live and did not use anyone's else's sound. I am trying to rectify the issue.
I think anyone who wants to join the military should be allowed to. Men , women, short and tall. This might be a smaller parade compared to some but it had real heart. These people love their country and so they should. By the way, our parades in the UK are amongst the best in the world. Anyway, thank you for watching.
@@JaniceLDN спасибо за объяснение. Но нам, русским привычнее видеть на парадах размах и силу страны,мощь армии, красоту формы, четкость строя и выправку солдат...Мира и процветания прекрасной Бельгии Спасибо.

Thank you for remembering Belgium. It may be a small country but it has a lot of heart.
Of course. Its somewhere I'd like to visit one day. Unfortunately, I lost sound during the playing of the Belgian National anthem.
Belgium is such a lovely country!
A yery lovely remembrance ceremony!

I never knew about this parade before now. As a history major I am sorry I did not of this.
We all learn something every day.

A great ceremony but shaky camerawork!

Beautiful flowers and Prince Gabriel was not in attendance at all
I wasn't certain if it was Prince Gabriel. He certainly looked like him. Thank you for clarifying. Do you know who the person is ?
@@JaniceLDN Yes, it is Mr. Thomas Dermine, minister and representative of the Belgian government.
@@olietwalter Thank you for confirming this.
Stop swinging the camera its quite sickly on the balance and eyes
I will bear that in mind going forward. Thank you for watching.
The Duke of Gloucester is not Cousin from King Charles-he was Cousin from his Mother Queen Elisabeth. So he is King Charlches uncle in second line.
Richard , the current Duke of Gloucester is the late Queen Elizabeth 's first cousin. So , he is first cousin once removed to her children: King Charles, Princess Anne, Princes Andrew and Edward.
Second cousin

His wife the lovely Duchess was also with him.

@@roccojoerg A viewer has written it was Mr Thomas Dermine, a representative of the Belgian government
@@JaniceLDN thank ypu!
Why did you off the sound when the Natl Anthem was played.

Хотите видеть настоящий парад - смотрите парады на Красной площади. Выглядит странно , когда женщины вперемешку с мужчинами и все разного роста
