Honour the heroes who fought and made the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Thank you for your service.
All graves are each adopted by a family and looked after.
Thank you for doing this, I 'm sure it seems so much to the families of the fallen. They are never forgotten.
Thank goodness for you
Princess Anne is a proper royal like our late queen Elizabeth her mother ❤
270 years of making money off slavery, and you want to honour them?
Thanks for your service.
You will never be forgotten ❤
A member of the Royal Family less in the public arena uninterested in social media.
This is less public? Can you see how many people and cameras are there
You can't read? "Less in the public arena", not "less in public". Learn what words mean before you try to put others down to make yourself look smart. You look like a fool. @@lachlanchester8142
Gratias deo agite pro victoriis praeteritis, praesentibus et futuris. I refuse to forgotten. Long live The King, healthy, happy and glorious. God save The King.
What a beautiful thing for the children to do.
So very respectful
While I have seen it first hand it is still good to see it done publicly how the Dutch (and the Norwegians) still appreciate what we did to free Europe from Fascism. To the rest we are just a nuisance.
"We will remember them"
Per Ardua Ad Astra
A wonderful Commemoration of our soldiers who died 80 years ago.
The atmosphere was electric especially when the children appeared with their flowers. It was a very special moment to see them place flowers gently onto each soldier's grave.
Thank you Arnhem for not forgetting our young soldiers and the sacrifice they made.❤
RIP Guys, from Glasgow 😟😟😟😟 🇬🇧😎😔
respect to all the ages, young and old. may we always join the people and soldiers in remembering history past and future
Princess Anne must be one if not the hardest working members of the Royal Family.
Definitely hardest WORKING ROYAL
Thanks Heather:)
Always in our hearts ,our heroes ❤️ Rafael from Gibraltar 🇬🇮
RIP Brothers 🙏 Thank you
We'll always be grateful to those who fought and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to liberate our country.
We will never forget the heroes who liberated us ❤️
Funny ‘ol world , Germany was the enemy yet prominent at this event , Russia was a friend and banned from attending
russia is a fascist mafia state with oil and gas. And whe're still waiting for them to pay back the Lend-Lease.
Incredibly moving, and I'm so glad all that sacrifice is remembered and honoured.
Ann the only royal i respect the other needs to abdicate.
You're either loyal or you're not. You can't be both.
Jeff Roberts has become a well known veteran attending this memorial for decades in NL.
He was personally greeted by our king William-Alexander ( not mentioned in this video ) present at the ceremony as host on dutch soil.
Princess Anne was a worthy representitive of king Charles , who is seen by the dutch as a good king and deer friend of our royal family as was late Queen Elisabeth II.
Long may our hands be joined
Princess Anne is the only one that actually cares for the fallen service men and women and still in the forces I do believe she would be a better queen
She given her loyalty and support to her brother, the king. That should answer your comment
PRINCESS ANNE, sounds and look like a good person
Princess Anne Is the only royal worthy of being called a royal the rest are just a bunch of tosspots!
Really, you know that do you?
"more than 1200 men"....(?!)
The exact number of these men is known and should be mentioned in my opinion.
There are now 1,684 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War buried or commemorated in the cemetery. 243 of the burials are unidentified and two casualties are commemorated by special memorials. There are also 79 Polish, three Dutch and four non-war (including three former Commission employees) graves in the cemetery.
It was a beautiful remembrance with particularly the veterans and the children
Charles should never of been made the king . Should have went to Princess Anne . For me she has done more for the royal family and has stayed out the limelight and has a very intelligent head on her shoulders . Charles and William ? No .
Every king needs loyal supporters they can’t trust to do a job well, on behalf him and the nation. King Charles has this in his sister Anne. Not everyone wants the top job but the job they do is just as vital to the monarchy. Princess Anne has been able to be an Olympic horse rider, enjoy running her large farming estate, her family and her hobbies while doing a great job.
Nick, you either support the system or you don't. King Charles is our rightful king.
The only operation that Monty designed…a total failure
Me, God.
What is a "multi-faith service"?
No reference to the Trinity -
We got heads kicked in!
My Dad was with the Royal Engineers and they were tasked to go and support and build a temporary landing strip. They also got cut off going towards Arnhem ,but they were not surrounded by the Germans.
We salute them all. 🫡
