The bridge is named after Johnny Frost whom I had the privilege of meeting as a child in 1964. He and my father had been officers together in the Cameronians. Sometime after the war Frost had been transferred to Scotland to command the 52nd Division. It was at his house in Cardross that we met and it was there he asked my dad if we would take care of his black labrador, Poppy, as he was returning to England to take up another post. 60 years on I still have vivid memories of that day and bringing Poppy to her new home in Glasgow. The video above is a poignant reminder and commemoration of the sacrifice many gave at Arnhem in those dark days of World War 2.
The HQ of the 52nd Division was based at Park Circus, Glasgow (now the base of Glasgow University RAF Air Squadron - a very grand building). I went to many parties in the seventies while a student there. The Cams were a very fine regiment. I also joined the regular army.
He is also the namesake of a famous man in south wales ,newport , a man who was a leader of a rebellion in the 1800s for the political rights of the common man and the right to vote . A rebellion that fought with government troops sent to quash the protest . We have a city centre square named after him and once has a very large mosaic commemorating the uprising , sadly and duplicitously vandalized and destroyed by the council to erect a new shopping centre .its s moving scene to watch the people of Arnhem commemorate their history and the brave sacrifice of men and inspiring to see a name continue with a man who shares the same integrity and honour
Not only in Arnhem every year. Also in the South of the Netherlands they remember every year. Remembering the Americans who gave their lives for our freedom.
When i was a Child i was one of them . After the war some people from Oosterbeek adopteda grave, like mine grandpartens. I visit his grave a couple of times in year, in September when I walk the Airborne March in Oosterbeek, I put a Sunflower on his grave.@@GaryDuncanson-s4g
Thank you so, so much for posting this video. As a proud Brit, and a very proud Scotsman, it brought tears to my eyes. God bless the Dutch people, the Brits, the Poles and all the other nationalities that fought In the war. And in the morning, we will remember them. Lest we forget. One love from Scotland. 💙
@ingridwatsup9671 We WILL remember them. After all, the great hero Wojtek was cared for in Scotland until his last post sounded. There are a few statues of him around. At least this one Scotsman will keep his name alive, just like the pilots, soldiers etc of the Polish allies. One love from Scotland. 💙
Again the Dutch showing the rest of Europe how it’s done and remembering, I spent some time at Arnhem and it was my privilege to be there in September great people 👍👍👍
I just love the pipes and drums. As an Englishman working in Scotland in 1976, less than a mile from the castle, I used to get as close as I could to listen to and watch the parades! Today at nearly 70 it still brings a tear to the eye and long may it continue. "Thig crìoch air an t-saoghal, ach mairidh gaol is ceòl"
Schön , danke , möge diese Tradition immer erhalten bleiben, bin zwar nur Deutscher ,habe aber in den British Forces Germany 1998-2014 im 28.Engr.Rgt. Hameln Station gearbeitet , bei Bagpipes & Drums werde ich auch Stolz ,auch das ich bei den Streitkräften arbeiten durfte und ich genommen wurde . Als Ehemaliger Soldat der Bundeswehr 1989-1997 , Salutiere ich vor der Marschabordnung und den Gefallenen zu Ehren . Mögen alle Gefallenen vergangener und aktuellen Kriegen in Frieden Ruhen. Wir werden Euch niemals vergessen ,Ihr lebt in unseren Herzen weiter .
Our quarrel was never with the German people you were or friends over many centuries in the fight for religious freedom and still are. 🇩🇪 and 🇬🇧 forever.
My Father was in Germany in 1939 because he had a close friend in Bavaria. My Father loved Germany but he got beaten up by the brown shirts and when he returned to Britain in 1939 he signed up to fight. We have the letters and photos from that time...never again.....
Mein Vater war 1939 in Deutschland, weil er einen engen Freund in Bayern hatte. Mein Vater liebte Deutschland, aber er wurde von den Braunhemden zusammengeschlagen und als er 1939 nach Großbritannien zurückkehrte, meldete er sich zum Krieg. Wir haben die Briefe und Fotos aus dieser Zeit...nie wieder...
My uncle lies at peace in the Allied Cemetery near Oosterbeek, a couple of miles away from this bridge, to the west. These were brave men - young as well. My uncle was 21 when he was wounded and died at Arnhem. I wonder if we could ever summon the courage they showed? Let's not forget the German forces as well - very few of these people really wanted war, but their leadership thought otherwise..... May they all be remembered when God cleanses the earth of evil and brings them back to life.
"Go and tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here in obedience to our faith we lie. Go, tell them of us and say. For your tomorrow, we gave our today." Inscription on the monument at the pass of Thermopylae. Bravery never dies.
Originally, these words were attributed to the Classical Greek Lyric Poet, ‘Simonides of Ceos, 556 - 468 BC,’ in his work commemorating & honouring King Leonides’s 300 fallen Spartans & their other Greek allies, then defending the passway into Greece at Thermopylae in 480 BC from the Persian invaders of Emperor Xerxes I. Afterwards, this classical work also became of course, the origin & the inspiration & subsequent adaptation by the Cambridge University Classical scholar, John Edmonds Maxwell of the inscription upon the Kohima Epitaph at the Commonwealth War Memorial & Cemetery at Kohima, Nagaland State, in India 🇮🇳, which in a parallel way is then also remembering & honouring the fallen men interred there & elsewhere, of the British-Indian 14th Army, who died heroically at the crucially important, Battle of Kohima in 1944 that then successfully defended & thus had protected the gateways to India, both simultaneously here & at the neighbouring city of Imphal, against the invading forces of Imperial Japan! Molon Lave! - Come and Take Them! (Leonides’s famously defiant retort to Xerxes’s demands that the Spartans & all the other Greeks lay down their weapons & surrender to the Persians at the battle!).
My Dad served with the Royal Engineers throughout WW2. They were on route to Arnhem to build a temporary landing strip but got cut off but the units did not get captured Respect to all those brave soldiers and all the military
Was he at dunkirk? As my grandad was in the royal engineers and was one of the last to leave as he was involved in blowing up bridges as the army was falling back to dunkirk. Apparently he left by one of the last ships to leave the port whilst fighting was happening in the outskirts and nearby streets. All this came from my mother as he never talked about it. He came home to plymouth dirt black and slept for 3 days solid. He was then demobbed from the army for some reason. Shell shock? PTSD? He then worked in devonport dockyard for the rest of the war. His name was bruce jewell.
It’s very sad that the Dutch celebrates this event far more than we do over here in the UK. I don’t even remember seeing it on the news here but perhaps I missed it. Brave brave men …always respect.
My old friend born in Suffolk went to school in Suffolk ..started work in Suffolk enlisted and was put in ....the Black Watch regiment.....in tanks ...sadly now gone but he left me with some great stories .
A marked difference to the march in 1994, then it was Arnhem Veterans, obviously not possible today. Each anniversary march was in complete silence in reverence to the fallen. It was very moving.
God bless every single one of those brave men, the British paras fighting til the very end, it must of been a hell on earth. To see the flags being raised at the end brings a tear, we’ll never forget what these brave men did for our freedom 🇬🇧
Bloody Hell, as an Englishman it pains me to say there is nothing more moving on earth than a bunch of Jocks playing the pipes 😀 So, so much respect to our brothers and sisters north of the wall in Scotland and also to the Dutch for still remembering the sacrifice of those who went before all of us. God Bless All
Go over one day and watch the Sunday service. Every grave has at least one Dutch child to look after them. Through the service rain or shine the kids stand by their grave holding flowers that they lay down at the end together. Incredibly moving. ♥️🇬🇧🏴🏴🇳🇱
The Brits are a nation of warring tribes, who fit seamlessly together in times of war and revert seamlessly to the status quo once they have seen off the enemy.
So why are these illegals in all of great Britain and these islamist terrorists aren't sent packing and the people that aloud them in ?!!😮 . Will always remember the fallen.
Is that true? I ask that as I'm sceptical. My experience in Europe is that people generally have very long memories*. for example, in France they hold the Allies who liberated them, in high regard. Some evidence for your claim might be nice... Also, the ALLIES liberated Europe, not just the British. Americans, British, Canadians. Free French and lots of other nations. *you only have to search on TH-cam for European WW2 tributes to see you're talking out of your arse!
@@redcardinalistDon't forget the Australians. They saved Villiers Bretoneux (unsure of the spelling). There is a sign at the school that says " NEVER FORGET AUSTRALIA ". They commemorate each year and Australians who visit are warmly welcomed. It's a pretty sweeping statement to say the Dutch are the only ones who remember. France remembers as does Belgium. What about the Last Post ceremony held each evening in Ypres?
Ik ben opgegroeid in een tijd zonder oorlog, met toenemende welvaart, vol kansen en geluk. Ik ben mij er terdege van bewust dat vele dappere mensen van vele landen hun leven gaven voor mijn vrijheid. Dank zij hun offer heb ik het leven dat ik had en nu heb. Laten we alsjeblieft, ook als de laatste veteraan dit niet meer meemaakt, blijven herdenken en onze jeugd blijven wijzen op de mazzel die zij hebben dat ze in vrijheid hun eigen leven kunnen vormgeven.
My grandfather was in the British army and fought from Normandy to Germany. He was present at the liberation of belsen. He always said that the dutch were very hospitable people.
that's truth, most of The Netherlands was liberated by Canadian forces and some towns even by soldiers from countries like Poland. while the British and American forces went for the big price, Germany. no hard feelings, all of Europe had to be liberated but to often you only hear about the British or American forces, while so many nations and people (like local resistant groups) played a part in ending the war.
Total and utter BS about the Belgium and Holland being mostly liberated by Canadians total lies one thing acknowledging Canadians participated bravely but do not try and rewrite history to make you feel you played a bigger part than you actually did. One of the failings of internet. It is full of unqualified people spouting BS in the hope that people actually believe it.
absolutely awesome. hopefully this will go on for years. thank-you for your service the war dead will never be forgotten. to the veterans of war your amazing i would not be able to do what you done your true heroes. thank-you for your service.
Thank you for keeping up the commemoration. I knew two of the British Airborne guys that fought there and I took my elderly father there about 15 years ago to pay our respects and visit a number of significant WW2 sights.
I worked in Blackpool for many years and was always surprised to see so many fantastic “locally based” pipe bands. Then one day it was explained to me. It was down to the number of Scots who came to Blackpool on Glasgow fortnight and never made it back home!!
My late neighbour's son was one of the many, possibly the first, to be killed on this bridge. They never found any part of his body for burial. When the film A Bridge Too Far was released, all of the neighbours got together to ensure that his mother never heard about the film. It would have upset her too much. The local shop strangely ran out of newspapers... just in case there were adverts. I remember her saying to me that she couldn't remember a busier week. Friends and neighbours kept dropping in just as she was settling down to watch television. For over a week, she did not see the news or a newspaper. She never did hear about the film. This video made me quite emotional remembering Mrs H.
Not only in Arnhem, also in the South of the Netherlands…every year! ❤ The South was freed by the Americans starting from 12 September in Mesch, than Maastricht.
Watching A Bridge Too Far on Dvd as a kid that my parents bought and now almost 20 years later (I'm 27 now) this film hits me different now that I understand how much the war really costs the lives of thousands of soldiers fighting simply because of a bureaucrat Monty and his subordinate Gen Browning ignored the warnings of the Dutch Underground and they over-ambitious plan to take down Germany before X-Mas. Sadly, more than 8, if not more 10,000 allies troops lost their lives almost a third of 35,000 men, and their deaths have not been in vain as Germany was taken down less than a year later and peace rules in Europe, at least most of it now. I hope to experience and would love to meet firsthand some WWII veterans in person, take some pictures with them, giving them flowers and hugs, hearing their stories but also hearing their romance stories and making jokes with them. It's sad to see how many veterans are slowly dying, but its crazy to see how extremely tough they are, 80 years later and still breathing and talking, and walking! The life of a soldier really made them tough, tough times and tough decisions but still human! God bless these men and their families!
Is it just me or are some of those Photographers rude and arrogant. When staff ask you to get out of the way once, that should be sufficient. I think cameras should be confiscated from those who persistently ignore requests to get out of the way.
Indeed the guy in the white baseball cap and back pack wouldn't be told, how many pics does he want, i have visited that event in the past took pictures from the side not in front.
Yes they were. There were quite a few drunk and rude British pushing themselves through the crowds. Even police were pushing them back. Whilst waiting for the band, they were loud, arrogant. If this is the new way of stag party for these block, rather stay at home...no respect at all.
Always remember the scene in "The Desrt Rats", when the hear the pipes and drums of the relief column getting through. Always brings a tear to my eyes😒
I first learned about Market Garden in the early 60's from watching Walter Cronkite's "20th Century" program. I was fascinated and over the years have read everything I could find about it, starting with Ryan's "A Bridge Too Far." The flawed strategy in no way takes away from the heroism shown by the British and American parachute divisions and the Dutch Underground Resistance. Holland suffered terribly from the German invasion and occupation. My late Father was part of his 390th Bomb Group's participation in "Operation Chowhound" in the closing days of the war. The German 15th Army, cut off in Holland by the Allied advance during the winter of 44-45, seized all available foodstuffs for their own survival. At least 25,000 Dutch civilians starved to death as a result. After wary negotiations, the Germans agreed to low-level humanitarian drops of food and medical supplies to the starving Dutch. The Germans feared another "Arnhem-like" parachute drop and insisted that the flights be made on defined corridors at 300 feet, too low for paratroopers. The Germans agreed to not fire on the B-17's and Lancasters of the 8th Air Force and RAF groups that were part of the operation. The planes were packed with the desperately needed supplies. The potentially sitting duck bombers were not attacked as the Allies kept their part of the agreement. The Dutch people were extremely gracious! At Reunions of the 390th Bomb Group, multiple Dutch citizens and their descendants have attended to express their gratitude for the 390th's part in "Operation Chowhound." The 390th Memorial Museum in Tucson AZ commemorates the group's participation in the Chowhound missions in their exhibits and archives. Many Dutch have visited the Museum. The Museum is well worth the trip.
While Dad was fighting with Patton his cousin was somewhere around Arnhem. Gilbert was in a foxhole with his best buddy when his buddy was shot and killed, minutes later Gilbert had his nose shot off. Gibs brother George was fighting on Guadalcanal where he was raked up the side by machine gun fire and paralyed his right side for life. God Bless all of those who fought. May freedom continue with their sacrifice always remembered.
Altijd indrukwekkend! Bedankt voor het delen. Ik kon er zelf dit keer niet bij zijn. Dus fijn om het nu te kunnen terugzien. Je hebt ook de moeite genomen om het zoveel als mogelijk op te nemen. Wel jammer dat je de doedelzakspelers bijna niet kan zien door de lieden die er irritant voor lopen. En het geluid van de “stewards” overstemt soms ook de muziek.
All those right hands stretched out, holding phones to record this impressively solemn procession, tickle my visuals-driven sense of irony. No disrespect intended to anyone. I was there too, to commemorate in nothing but awe and gratitude the horrible sacrifices courageous young men (and women) and their families had to make at the time, just to give all of us the chance to take back freedom and democracy from totalitarianism and fascism forever.
impressive. too bad the filmmaker didn't show the whole procession. would have been nice to see the procession pass by almost at the last moment. and too bad people don't move aside of their own accord.
Those amateur photographers irritate me. Do they actually think that the parade will stop whilst they take a photo? RIP to those brave men who fought for our freedom.
I am so proud to have enjoyed part of those safe, peaceful and glorious decades our heroes sacrificed everything for. God Bless them always..❤..forever in their debt.

Proud to be Scottish and British we fight what is right they should not be forgotten.
Personally I'm British but Scottish born (father was a Geordie, mother was a Kentish lassie but I wear the kilt with pride.

no hard feelings, all of Europe had to be liberated
but to often you only hear about the British or American forces, while so many nations and people (like local resistant groups) played a part in ending the war.
Total and utter BS about the Belgium and Holland being mostly liberated by Canadians total lies one thing acknowledging Canadians participated bravely but do not try and rewrite history to make you feel you played a bigger part than you actually did. One of the failings of internet. It is full of unqualified people spouting BS in the hope that people actually believe it.
My dad John Robert North from Yorkshire was crackshot of the sharpshooters in the H L.I.
Mooi gedaan, werkelijk prachtig !!!!
It's so beautiful.
absolutely awesome. hopefully this will go on for years. thank-you for your service the war dead will never be forgotten. to the veterans of war your amazing i would not be able to do what you done your true heroes. thank-you for your service.
Does anyone know the list of units that marched in this awesome tribute? I see Irish Guards, but can’t identify the others
Mooie opname thnx ik ben geboren in Arnhem dus dat geeft wel kippevel 🙂
Thank you for keeping up the commemoration. I knew two of the British Airborne guys that fought there and I took my elderly father there about 15 years ago to pay our respects and visit a number of significant WW2 sights.
Their's is the Glory!
I worked in Blackpool for many years and was always surprised to see so many fantastic “locally based” pipe bands. Then one day it was explained to me. It was down to the number of Scots who came to Blackpool on Glasgow fortnight and never made it back home!!
Get out of their way!! How many bloody photos do you need. Fantastic event, love the pipes and drums. R.I.P all of our heroes.
I am proud to say that my own father had a small part to play at Arnhem too!
My late neighbour's son was one of the many, possibly the first, to be killed on this bridge. They never found any part of his body for burial. When the film A Bridge Too Far was released, all of the neighbours got together to ensure that his mother never heard about the film. It would have upset her too much. The local shop strangely ran out of newspapers... just in case there were adverts. I remember her saying to me that she couldn't remember a busier week. Friends and neighbours kept dropping in just as she was settling down to watch television. For over a week, she did not see the news or a newspaper. She never did hear about the film.
This video made me quite emotional remembering Mrs H.
Well done! ❤from 🇳🇱🌷🌷🌷
Incredibly moving, thanks very much indeed
Market garden 2:40 the beautiful pipes and drums ☸️🕎✝️♌️🔮🇮🇱🇳🇱🇵🇬🇺🇸🦅🌹🌹🇬🇧🇮🇹en zoveel dierbaren 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🦅🌹🌹🌹🌹
Not only in Arnhem, also in the South of the Netherlands…every year! ❤ The South was freed by the Americans starting from 12 September in Mesch, than Maastricht.
Impressive, very impressive.
Total respect from wales
Watching A Bridge Too Far on Dvd as a kid that my parents bought and now almost 20 years later (I'm 27 now) this film hits me different now that I understand how much the war really costs the lives of thousands of soldiers fighting simply because of a bureaucrat Monty and his subordinate Gen Browning ignored the warnings of the Dutch Underground and they over-ambitious plan to take down Germany before X-Mas. Sadly, more than 8, if not more 10,000 allies troops lost their lives almost a third of 35,000 men, and their deaths have not been in vain as Germany was taken down less than a year later and peace rules in Europe, at least most of it now. I hope to experience and would love to meet firsthand some WWII veterans in person, take some pictures with them, giving them flowers and hugs, hearing their stories but also hearing their romance stories and making jokes with them. It's sad to see how many veterans are slowly dying, but its crazy to see how extremely tough they are, 80 years later and still breathing and talking, and walking! The life of a soldier really made them tough, tough times and tough decisions but still human! God bless these men and their families!
Is it just me or are some of those Photographers rude and arrogant. When staff ask you to get out of the way once, that should be sufficient. I think cameras should be confiscated from those who persistently ignore requests to get out of the way.
That is exactly what i thought. They completely spoiled the whole march and should be ashamed of themselves.
Indeed the guy in the white baseball cap and back pack wouldn't be told, how many pics does he want, i have visited that event in the past took pictures from the side not in front.
Yes they were. There were quite a few drunk and rude British pushing themselves through the crowds. Even police were pushing them back. Whilst waiting for the band, they were loud, arrogant. If this is the new way of stag party for these block, rather stay at home...no respect at all.
@@fspaan Unbelievable what the hell is the matter with some people these days?
I saw that too. One man got inthe way for more than 8 times. Why why why? Respectless. I am soo proud and thankfull for all those British men!
Always remember the scene in "The Desrt Rats", when the hear the pipes and drums of the relief column getting through. Always brings a tear to my eyes😒
Thank you so much service men and women past and present for your service, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🫡🏴🫡 .To the people of Holland we love you ❤
Good how the bass drummer took his timing from the Pipe Major then marked time until the other bass drummer's caught up to him, nicely done sir!
I first learned about Market Garden in the early 60's from watching Walter Cronkite's "20th Century" program. I was fascinated and over the years have read everything I could find about it, starting with Ryan's "A Bridge Too Far." The flawed strategy in no way takes away from the heroism shown by the British and American parachute divisions and the Dutch Underground Resistance.
Holland suffered terribly from the German invasion and occupation. My late Father was part of his 390th Bomb Group's participation in "Operation Chowhound" in the closing days of the war. The German 15th Army, cut off in Holland by the Allied advance during the winter of 44-45, seized all available foodstuffs for their own survival. At least 25,000 Dutch civilians starved to death as a result. After wary negotiations, the Germans agreed to low-level humanitarian drops of food and medical supplies to the starving Dutch. The Germans feared another "Arnhem-like" parachute drop and insisted that the flights be made on defined corridors at 300 feet, too low for paratroopers. The Germans agreed to not fire on the B-17's and Lancasters of the 8th Air Force and RAF groups that were part of the operation. The planes were packed with the desperately needed supplies. The potentially sitting duck bombers were not attacked as the Allies kept their part of the agreement. The Dutch people were extremely gracious! At Reunions of the 390th Bomb Group, multiple Dutch citizens and their descendants have attended to express their gratitude for the 390th's part in "Operation Chowhound."
The 390th Memorial Museum in Tucson AZ commemorates the group's participation in the Chowhound missions in their exhibits and archives. Many Dutch have visited the Museum. The Museum is well worth the trip.
Magnificent band. Shame about the people with cameras in front of them, continuously having to be ushered out of the way.
While Dad was fighting with Patton his cousin was somewhere around Arnhem. Gilbert was in a foxhole with his best buddy when his buddy was shot and killed, minutes later Gilbert had his nose shot off. Gibs brother George was fighting on Guadalcanal where he was raked up the side by machine gun fire and paralyed his right side for life. God Bless all of those who fought. May freedom continue with their sacrifice always remembered.
Altijd indrukwekkend! Bedankt voor het delen. Ik kon er zelf dit keer niet bij zijn. Dus fijn om het nu te kunnen terugzien. Je hebt ook de moeite genomen om het zoveel als mogelijk op te nemen. Wel jammer dat je de doedelzakspelers bijna niet kan zien door de lieden die er irritant voor lopen. En het geluid van de “stewards” overstemt soms ook de muziek.
I remember when people looked at things through their eyes…..now it’s through a phone…
Aff the road... universal language in motion....taps aff lads.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning... we will remember them..
The shutterbugs are very distracting. Gotta love the pipes!!
Goose bumps
Thankyou Netherlands and America no you were not here, you were sleeping. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
All those right hands stretched out, holding phones to record this impressively solemn procession, tickle my visuals-driven sense of irony. No disrespect intended to anyone.
I was there too, to commemorate in nothing but awe and gratitude the horrible sacrifices courageous young men (and women) and their families had to make at the time, just to give all of us the chance to take back freedom and democracy from totalitarianism and fascism forever.
So proud ❤❤❤
Wonderful 👍🇬🇧
Superb
Great video shame about the damned photographers having to be told to continually move back. Fitting tribute to the fallen though
impressive. too bad the filmmaker didn't show the whole procession. would have been nice to see the procession pass by almost at the last moment. and too bad people don't move aside of their own accord.
Prachtig, maar zo irritant al die fotografen vlak voor de band....
In memory of Bill Reeves and Geoffrey Matthews.
Respect!
Those amateur photographers irritate me. Do they actually think that the parade will stop whilst they take a photo? RIP to those brave men who fought for our freedom.
Everybody has a mobile phone in The Netherlands.....................................LOL
Emocionante
Same they allowed all those 'cameramen' to be in front....
Total respect to you red 😈 😈
Look at the spats...so rare to see spats on the bands today.
Ik heb het niet zo met de doedelzak, maar dit is wel indrukwekkend.
And what did they fight and die for the state of our rat infested country today.
I am so proud to have enjoyed part of those safe, peaceful and glorious decades our heroes sacrificed everything for.
God Bless them always..❤..forever in their debt.
❤❤❤
Respect.
