- In a break from traditional protocol, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain ordered the change to the daily ceremonial parade to show solidarity with the United States in the wake of the 9-11 attacks. Prince Andrew, representing his mother, was joined by the US ambassador to Britain, William Farish, for the 45-minute ceremony.
As the band of the Coldstream Guards began the US national anthem hundreds in the crowd sang along while others wept, before observing a two-minute silence.
An incredible moment for both nations

A foreign national anthem has never been played outside a state visit! Shows how much we love our American brothers 🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️
She broke a 300+ year long tradition just to pay respect. Much love to her ♥️
Remember, America only exists because we fought a war with Britain. The fact that this happened, and was cheered
I remember watching a vigil in London that night. They interviewed a retired London policeman. He was crying because he was too old to help the Yanks. He wanted to return the help they gave his Nation in WWII.
I came back here today because it means a lot to me that the Brits did this for us. In one of our darkest times, they were there to support us. Now, in their time of sadness, I hope there’s something we can do for them as well. I hope all of our friends “across the pond” are doing ok as they mourn their loss.
Wow... being a young kid on 9/11 I had no idea she had them do this. Mad respect
Rest in peace Queen, I will never forget what you have done for us Americans, and by extent, the world
This is what I picture while hearing this. A British man sitting next to an American man. The American is sobbing because of what happened. The British man puts his arm over the American and tells him it’s going to be alright.
When shit actually goes down we're actually there for each other. When stuff is good we will proceed to make fun of each other.
The respect being shown. There are people putting their hands over their hearts as Americans do when the national anthem is played. It’s not their anthem and not their country, yet they are giving us the respect and love we needed.
Britain playing an anthem that was written about a war against Britain...
I remember seeing this on the T.V. just after 9/11. I am not ashamed to say it brought this American veteran to tears within seconds. The act of solidarity and empathy will be remembered ALWAYS. Thank you.
I am reminded that on a day Americans were at their lowest, Queen Elizabeth did this act of compassion and solidarity. It was a beautiful gesture made by a woman with a heart of gold. And today I stand in solidarity with my British friends across the sea. Rest In Peace, Elizabeth. Long Live the Queen!
My deepest condolences to the British people for the loss of their beautiful Queen. And, not only as an American do I send these deepest condolences but as a man with queens in his own life ….. So when I hear of the Queen’s death I think if my mother, my wife, my sister and daughter and it hurts my heart to know of any Queen’s death for I know all Queens are created by GOD and all Queens are truly spiritually connected.- Leonard Clark 9-8-22
1700's hated each others guts
This is why 🇺🇸 Americans love our British counterparts.
I didn't know England had done this for us. Nearly 20 years later and I still shed a tear. Thank you guys from across the pond, once foes, now long-time allies, may it stay that way 😢
Never in my life had I ever have had this much respect for the Brits. Had me to tears. Thank you for caring so much about us.
I'm an Irish man...and I've no problem admitting that this had me in tears. Huge respect ❤
