This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Very moving. Hayley's performance was perfect - the high note at 3:22! Bernard Cribbins delivered his speech with such excellent expression. I'm a very proud Hayley fan right now!
Hayley is always great but sometimes her performance is earth shattering, this being one of them. The feeling was intense. Truly, she is a gift from God.
the festival of remembrance is something my mum and I watch each year and this part of the service were they set out the drum alter always makes us cry, I'm a very proud British citizen and I am forever thankful for our servicemen and women who fought, died and survived to let us live free and in peace
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful performances I have ever seen and heard. I have played it over and over since first coming upon it a year ago.
What a talent!! From little old New Zealand ,where no matter where you come from when god touches you then you can share this for everyone!! Nice one!!High prase for the British regament.
Good grief every time I browse You tube I find yet another of Hayley's pearls... she has so many amazing live performances, she should release a compilation DVD. And by the way this whole performance deserved no less than a standing ovation, not that small applause...
Dedicated to All Soldiers and Female Soldiers Dead for Our Freedom, Eternal Glory to Them. And To All Doctors, Nurses, Nurses, and 118 Volunteers In War Against CoronaVirus GOD BLESS YOU
@Arnetsew It is a tradition going back for centuries that soldiers in the field, without recourse to their chapels or churches on Sunday, would lay their drums neatly, consecrate them by laying their standards on them, and use them as an altar.
My parents were so proud of our stand. they also remembered with love the commonwealth and the americans who came over before their country declared war. The Europeans who came to support us. And above all they believed that God helped us.
Hang about the CW countries came before the USA decide to show their face get it right. Many souls were lost from Commonwealth countries, India had over a million men sent to that conflict, which you people conveniently forget, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Canada, Caribbean, Sth Africa and many more don't brush the ones that actually propped up you lot, what a load of cheek👎
Leland Roth care to enlighten us with your "superior" historical knowledge on this subject? Perhaps you are a holocaust denier for example. Now wouldn't that be interesting with a name like yours?
Leland Roth, "Let the dead bury the dead?" I'd love to see you stand in front of armed forces personnel and the loved ones of those who died and say that!

Woah... I had goosebumps throughout that entire thing! A beautiful performance for sure. :) Her excecution of the song was perfect. Y'know, sometimes I wonder what she thinks of Hayley too. But whatever the case, I know what I think. :) I think Hayley has a killer voice and is one of the most gorgeous, talented, blessed young girls in the entire universe. XD
This young lady is just that, a lady. There is no embellishment, no hype nor promotion. A very good model for a generation who wants to mix music with wokeism. And perfect for this song.
Beautiful, no doubt. Yet, fallen for the sake of what? It's important to think about this issue, in order to prevent, for ever, human disasters and the sacrifice of so many brave men and so great talents for the sake of human madness.
OK one word. E P I C May those who have fallen on the battle field forever find peace I'm not one of those people who are dramatic but gota give it to them
@7191hawkes In case anyone is wondering, I am happy to leave your comment on display as it's directly relevant to this performance. I have added a note about its general availability on CD to the end of the uploader comments.
Ukrainian,We are with you,heart Soul. What Bravery You are showing Fight the dictator Fight each and all those dictators Who are raising their ugly heads across the world as we never thought possible. Your
Incredible, but what a pathetic applause at the end. This was a beautiful performance which deserved far better than this response. Wake up England, and show more appreciation.This young lady is nothing short of remarkable.
To each his own,complete silence would have been a better response than this half hearted effort. Show respect of course, but show appreciation of a performance that was nothing short of stunning.
Roger Shirley; yes, that was a fabulous performance from Hayley. However, to paraphrase your words. Perhaps if you went there you would be able to feel that the atmosphere is subdued and balanced, so the response was just right. There are people attending (including families and serving armed forces personnel) who are grieving for loss of lives in the past, as well as the raw grief experienced by recent losses, so you are the one who needs to "wake up" and realise that people are there (including Hayley) to take part in a remembrance ceremony. There again, perhaps it's better if you don't attend...
@Medeasbiggestfan As others have said, there is some debate about condemn/contemn. I am currently leaning towards "condemn" but I will not change it until I am sure. We may have to ask Hayley (or Karl Jenkins!) in due course what she actually sang...
Lol forget the so call jackie evancho and the rest of them, this young lady is the tops. I mean this young lady has sung before the queen and the Rf many of times.
As a retired British soldier of 23 years service I find this, although inspiring, quite revolting. The majority of servicemen and women die in wars of choice, very few if any are about defending the country they live because they don't have a country if they're British, that is the province of just a few, the landed gentry headed by the family who's adopted name is Windsor. This Brexit dilemma wouldn't happen in a democracy and the politicians wouldn't even dream of doing what they're doing in a democracy.
Yeah nah Britttania would be nothing without the rest of the CW nations actually still believing in the Queen. At this stage while lillibet is still on the throne yes however you must be aware that many do not see Charles or Wlliam as suitable.
honor and glory to all the soldiers, men and women of England who gave their lives for our freedom
GOD PROTECT AND BLESS YOU FOREVER
Amazing performance. Love the song sung by the most beautiful of all the Celtic Women
I could listen to Hayley. Forever without tiring of her voice.
What a pretty young lady and fabulous voice
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Very moving. Hayley's performance was perfect - the high note at 3:22! Bernard Cribbins delivered his speech with such excellent expression. I'm a very proud Hayley fan right now!
She has such a beautiful singing voice. Her voice fits with this song.
Hayley is always great but sometimes her performance is earth shattering, this being one of them.
The feeling was intense. Truly, she is a gift from God.
Hayley's performance is never less than the best of the best!
Hayley is at the Albert hall she's has been there before a lovely singer .i have been listening to her her for many years .
Lovely to hear the kiwi girls voice again, beautiful RIP to all the fallen of the many conflicts from around the world.
A beautiful presentation, Hayley was an excellent choice. She was stunning, her voice was perfection (as always).
Very touching!
the festival of remembrance is something my mum and I watch each year and this part of the service were they set out the drum alter always makes us cry, I'm a very proud British citizen and I am forever thankful for our servicemen and women who fought, died and survived to let us live free and in peace
Well said, ScouserGirl, and I agree 100%. By the time the Drumhead Service begins, I'm in bits.
The Song and Singer From Heaven
Fantastic
A voice from heaven and voice of an angel
and I love it
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful performances I have ever seen and heard. I have played it over and over since first coming upon it a year ago.
I looooooooooove Hayley's music! She's an awesome artist and maintains a great image with her sweet disposition and professionalism.
What a talent!! From little old New Zealand ,where no matter where you come from when god touches you then you can share this for everyone!! Nice one!!High prase for the British regament.
This is so beautiful! She's amazing. Had the pleasure meeting her some years ago, at Tyne Cot Cemetery. We will remember them.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
We will remember them! Fantastic video moved me to tears. So proud of our fallen hero's and our hero's still fighting today, god bless you all
Mark Meredith For whom?
Hayley is at the Royal Albert hall in London .a lovely singer .
Amazing performance...I loved it!! :-)
Good grief every time I browse You tube I find yet another of Hayley's pearls... she has so many amazing live performances, she should release a compilation DVD. And by the way this whole performance deserved no less than a standing ovation, not that small applause...
Wonderful music. Very classy
Beautifully done!
Another great performance by Hayley.
As moving a performance I have ever seen.
This is wow awesome , Hayley is truly talented she can sing everything she wants to. Love her voice , She is nr 1

Just as moved now as i was watching it last night...so beautiful.
Thanks for posting.x
Hayley! She is The Queen!
Preciosa voz y mucho talento
It was beautiful and still brings a lump to my throat.
Thanks for [posting.
Powerful, poignant performance by all, kudos to Hayley & all members of the military Bands. Spine chilling😇💂💂😇
God bless the 🏴England 🏴 in her entirety and for those who have given their lives for her so we can be today.....

I have so much admiration for the UK as it alone fought alone for almost two years. Such valor and courage. This is coming from an American.
RAZ Z Canada and the commonwealth nations fought along side them.
Brian, true and a good reminder. Thank you.
Well said sir

maravillosa y melódica voz, ensoñadora, mágica,... única
She is never less than wonderful. Long may her special relationship with the Royal British Legion continue.

maybe the best live performance by Hayley

@Medeasbiggestfan 'Contemn' is the old English spelling and appears spelled that way in the 1611 publication of the Holy Bible.
Ukrainian,We are with you,heart Soul.
What Bravery You are showing

Fight each and all those dictators

I've often wondered, what does Her Majesty think of Hayley?
I doubt Hayley is worried, she just sings from the heart, It's that laid back kiwi attitude.
RIP WILLIAM AND HERBERT FLEMING.
This is taken at the Royal Albert hall .

@hwivid After further investigation and a discussion in the HWI forum, I have now amended "contemn" to "condemn", which is probably what Hayley sang.

She knocks Adele into a cocked hat for her voice!!

Yeah nah Britttania would be nothing without the rest of the CW nations actually still believing in the Queen. At this stage while lillibet is still on the throne yes however you must be aware that many do not see Charles or Wlliam as suitable.
My great great grandfather wrote this poem. Too bad I am a terrible writer.
i hate the POEM, hayley make another version, only showing you face
Yes I would like the same thing, another version without the poem and with Hayley in the screen.
You are right. Hayley sings with her face as much as her voice. It is one reason she is so extraordinary.
spenzur I don't mind it. In fact, it just adds to the solemn effect for me. The whole thing gives me chills.
