I was 13 years old and stood among thousands of school children, shoulder to shoulder to pay tribute to Hannie Schaft, a Dutch resistance fighter, who with 300 other men had been murdered by the Nazis in the dunes of Holland close to where I lived. She was the only woman. Never has one song made such an impact on me, the drums were clad in black cloth, the men playing the instruments looked down. I went to visit the original grave site 2 years ago and the memories came back. May she ever rest in peace.
It's too bad what happened to her, but since she was a communist I wonder what she and the other communists would have done if Hitler hadn't invaded the Soviet Union. I say that because most of the French resistance groups (the communist ones) didn't resist until that point. More importantly: I also wonder what she would have done in the event of a home-grown communist revolution in the Netherlands (such as had been attempted in Germany).
May they all rest in peace. They were all freedom fighters and all loyal to the end...being a woman does not put her above the 300 odd other men...nor make her any less. May they all rest in peace and their sacrafices serve to the future!
It is an absolute shame that they didnt use the bridge cadence 1:20 again for the Queens funeral, they just did 8 quarter notes on the basses to lead into the next march. The snares and tenors playing the cadence in this adds alot of character and is basically almost the only time they play in the whole parade, lol
In the old days masses of people lined the streets and when the funeral carriage passed everyone removed their hats and stood silently with their heads bowed. people did not simply cheer and clap, their was a stiff silence and the only sound was the band and the horses hooves and the wheels of the carriage.
Well people are silent when they respect the Prime Minister, Thatcher wasn't anywhere near the level of Churchill in popularity, especially after the things she did during her time in office.

I was 7 during JFK's funeral, those sad days. This march was played as the procession went through DC. I had heard it on cartoons, but didn't realize that it was an actual song.
Expect to hear these funeral marches (among others) during HM The Queen's funeral procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday, Sept 14th. and from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey on Monday, Sept 19th.
Also played on the Queen's funeral procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminister Abbey, Sept 14th, 2022 Mendelsohn at 2:32 pm , Chopin at 2:35 pm BST
Imagine of you said to Mrs Thatcher when she was young: "you're a working class girl but when you die you'll have one of the grandest funerals in the United Kingdom"
@@ghughesarch lol awwww you still triggered all these years later? Need a hug little guy? Why don't you go have a wee cry in the corner, that'll make you feel better about being a total nutsack :) mwah xx
No the music played for Quee n Mother was My Home & Mist Covered Mountains of Home for the procession and removal after church ceremony Oft Into The Stilly Night.
Yeah I agree I think the amount of applause as she went past says it all. No matter your opinion, she achieved what she set out to do. Can’t they say that about MPs now really...
Sorry for being late, those applause was meant to drown out the protest happening alongside the procession and the protesters are loud. Hrnce the clapping...
According to what I heard, there were some people that were hurling insults at the casket or something like that, so the crowd cheered to drown out the insults. At least that's what I read on a comment from another video regarding the funeral
Yes, it was broadcast earlier that people were going to protest and boo during the procession. So people showed up in droves in order to applaud and drown out the sounds of protestors.
Normally no; in the West you are supposed to be silent when a coffin is passing by along with removing hats. But this woman almost destroyed the British economy and was overall a terrible Prime Minister. As a result, the British don't think fondly of her and were even happy when she died. The clapping is a sign that people cheered her death. In contrast if you saw the spectators of Queen Elizabeth's funeral procession, people for the most part were silent because she was loved by them.
@@katerinakemp5701 No, the RM bands are simply classified as a military band. The term windband is rarely used in the UK, even less so for the military, especially since the RMBS does not utilise that many instruments for parade gigs like some army bands do (no bassons or oboes on parade gigs like the foot guards bands). Same for some newly reformed army bands that do not utilise any woodwind instruments at all (e.g. BABs Tidworth, Catterick). I was a bugler in the RM for six years until 2020, and the bandies did utilise more instruments for concert gigs of course, but that's a different story.
Very nice recording. The ringing bells make the piece of music much more haunting.
Definitely. Also the drums and the boots stomping make it sound very powerful.
Looks like the end of the world !

Absolutely agree, also quite a haunting sound with the snares turned off and the rhythm echoing around the buildings. A shame this wasn't used indeed!
0:01 - 1:22 Mendelssohn's Funeral March (Songs without Words, Opus 62, No. 3)

+1812AndMore The applause was to drown out a group of protesters shouting abuse and swearing.
Yes absolutely right . I was at Winston's Churchill's funeral in 1965 and you could hear a pin drop.

Beat drops at 1:25 going straight from Mendelssohn to Chopin
that cadence is awesome
gosh so wonderful to hear the music without the inane Sky news commentary ruining it -thanks for posting .RIP Mrs Thatcher
Great video, I was stood further down by Fleet Street, the band were truly excellent.

@@jfinn3575 Strange I heard it today clearly and powerfully but then I haven't got an axe to grind.
This lass was in the Falklands playing Battleship with real fuckin' boats.

Rest in my piss, maggie thatcher bitch
Wonderful, thanks for uploading this.
Does anyone know of a good orchestral recording of Mendelssohn's funeral march?
I's originally a solo piano piece th-cam.com/video/GsqyGJklR5I/w-d-xo.html
same
This perfect. god blees your country
It sounds like a boss theme

She was anything but working class. She despised them.
@@matelot95 Yeah, that's why she gave millions of working class people a path to owning their own homes, you utter throbber.

I like the Song Funeral March at 1:30
Chopin.
@@joekerr9197 Yeah...
@@joekerr9197 Yes. But what is the Song at 0:20 ? ? ?
@@angieroxy7550 It says so in the title...until 1:30 it is Mendelssohn's Funeral March, after 1:30 it is Chopin's.
@@joekerr9197Ish oK, I Figureð it out Shortly After ;)
0:55 the moment you start having WW1&2 flashbacks eben tho you are 18
Wow ?
wasn't this played at the queen mother's funeral?
Indeed, it will be played for every important figure in British goverment either the monarchs or prime ministers
No the music played for Quee n Mother was My Home & Mist Covered Mountains of Home for the procession and removal after church ceremony Oft Into The Stilly Night.
I would say that us Americans can learn a thing or too from you Brits for State Funerals.
Agreed, so can us Indians.
Mr Smith Only for your Mummy!
There's a lot more than just that.
Wasn’t a state funeral, you should see those
It's the only thing we're good at nowadays :/
A one Million Dollar Video.
Why do the horses keep moving their heads is because they are uncomfortable ,with the people around them ..or ??
Oh finally they've got around to playing the best funeral music ever, let's all shout and clap.
I teared up when they started clapping, how humanity can come together in support of one person is very powerful for me
@@zilionis8003 ¿Really?
The Queen had a state funeral and that horses, Thatcher had a ceremonial funeral with soldiers. So what's the difference?
Sailors. Not soldiers
Didn't you watch the Queens funeral? She was pulled be sailors not horses.
I was there lining them streets too, i'm the one with dark blonde hair in the crowd,, lol
With all respect, in which scale is the Mendelssohn's funeral march?
E minor
@@huyiii2435 thanks
Brilliant
Live eroupe cultuer , i like the bell sound , it is a glory .
I don`t care how awful you thought she was, at least give her the respect of solemnity at her funeral.
Yeah I agree I think the amount of applause as she went past says it all. No matter your opinion, she achieved what she set out to do. Can’t they say that about MPs now really...
Sorry for being late, those applause was meant to drown out the protest happening alongside the procession and the protesters are loud. Hrnce the clapping...
Not technically called a "Brass Band" It is the Band of H.M. Royal Marines if notice all their "Brass" instruments are silver
Preceded by Mendelssohn's
Wow... I didn't see this. More people at Thatcher's funeral than at the queen's it seems.
It was a much shorter route.
@@seansmith445 that explains it. thanks.
This is so sad😦
What’s this music called??
Cheering and clapping at a funeral is just demented.
If you knew how much that woman f*cked over Britain and her people, you would understand why they are clapping.
1:29 Chopin
CATEGORY: COMEDY
That is not a very nice thing to say. I'm not British but I still hold the utmost respect to Baroness Thatcher.
Yes, most of us laughed our arses off when she died.
why is this in comedy category
Why the hell were they clapping?
Disrespectful people were protesting at her funeral and shouting things as the procession passed so they were clapping to drown them out.
Drowning out hecklers
Because she'd finally gone and we were rid of her.
This was a great day possibly one of the greatest days of my life
I’m American and am confused by the amount of cheering and clapping, can someone explain?
According to what I heard, there were some people that were hurling insults at the casket or something like that, so the crowd cheered to drown out the insults. At least that's what I read on a comment from another video regarding the funeral
Margaret thatcher brutality oppressed, Ireland, scotland and Wales there celebrating her death
Yes, it was broadcast earlier that people were going to protest and boo during the procession. So people showed up in droves in order to applaud and drown out the sounds of protestors.
what the name of this music? this one exatly
Erivanel Dias The second one, the one that sounds really haunting, is Chopin's Sonata in Bb Minor Op. 35 No. 2 commonly known as "Funeral March"
i found it its Mendelssohn op62 n°3
Chopin made the Funeral March 1st
Why they are clapping? Is it a culture to dead?
Normally no; in the West you are supposed to be silent when a coffin is passing by along with removing hats.

Very dramatic!!!

Don't confuse a person... with a flag... with your identity.
+Darci Cunningham That sounds deep, but actually you've said the square root of jack shit.
watched this live ,unreal
The music from beginning to 1.30 is attributed now to Johann Heinrich Walch. Formerly thought to be by Beethoven.
Not a brass band, but a military band.
They are actually classed as windbands.

What version of Mendelssohn's Funeral March is this? It sounds so different to the orchestral version
its arranged for brass and marching percussion only
i like the category where this vid was listed xD
