Why isn't he "Sir Mark Knopfler?" The man has been supporting great causes all of his adult life. And he deserves to be recognised for all that he has done to help those in need.
He tells amazing stories through his music, it’s just a completely different level to anyone else. Completely agree on that too so many good causes over the years and never in the limelight about it.
Following him for a while, I think he is the kind of person who does not care at all about pompous titles
Because he’s not a corrupt politician!
Maybe he has refused the title.
Many people do.
@@NeilJR he has an OBE, perhaps the firm have been a little distracted of late.
This amazing man, a true professional being of life, and not just the brilliance of his life long work but also the way throughout he has kept good and proper his private life simply that - Private. No crap, no media spin and never making his music a politic forum.
Just a true professional who puts many to shame.
Thank you Mr. Knopfler for your life work.
Love Mark , such a great man . Very humble and caring . RESPECT MARK KNOPFLER

This cancer survivor salutes you, Mr Knopfler. Your good works and kind words do not go unnoticed
He stands for me for a Britain that's gone. The elegant Britain, cultured with a touch of sophistication, and a polite, respectful language.
I feel the same for my country, France.
He's literally still alive, so it's a Britain which is still very much still here. What you described is alive and well.
give over, troll peter
@@tompoynton It's hard to hear the truth, right, Tom?
From Thatcher onwards the British population has given their vote to one idiot after the other, with increasing idiocracy. The highlight so far: Boris!
A veneer of sophistication with a violent, racist mentality beneath. The British have always been the bastards of the last few centuries.
Mark Knopfler - absolute class.
Dear Geordies, Hi from the Scottish Highlands. This song means a lot to us too. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the phone box ringing.... If you know, you know.
and a motorbike.
The one and only mark we so respect you and adore your music
I want to say something,but I can’t think of anything good enough to say about Mark Knopfler; just wish there were more like him.
A great musician, a great poet - but an even greater person - the ever-humble Mark Knopfler... one of humanity's most valuable gems.
Extraordinary musician and a national treasure. Simple as. Respect!!
What a great man mark is.
Mark Knopfler a great human - a guitar legend
I’m proud of myself and Mark as Im listening him when I was 16 & now I’m 55
There are many heroes and legends, there is only one Mark Knopfler❤🙏🏻
what a legend, what a cause, we lost our only child from cancer, so, this cause is close to my heart, god bless Mr. Knopfler.
Sir Mark to me !!!!
An inspiration to all. A true Gentleman.
Thanks.
Cancer is bad at any age, been there seen that rang the bell. God love these teens, I wish them all the best.
Cancer in children is a good reason not to believe in god.
Can't believe i didn't realise Mark knopfler was a geordie!? Great guy. Music from my childhood
How wonderful is this. Whenever I hear this song, I think of my beloved son, serving in Harm's Way, how we will cry in each other's arms until there are no more tears. Thank you, Sir Mark. Bravo.
I'm sitting in Balmain Australia as a 70+ year old thinking how great Dire Straits (especially Mark) were in "my day", then I come across this video - Mark you are a real legend twice over - firstly for the music and even more for your charity work, you are real LOCAL HERO
Greetings from lreland. Lived in balmain 1988 1992.great pubs cricketers Arms, unity Hall, pig and whistle ,William Wallace. Worked on the mortbay units .Great place great people .hope it hasn't changed too much
@@cormacbailey775 Thanks for your message, Balmain like most places has changed since the 1980's a very different demographic but we still have more pubs than any other suburb in Sydney.! Now the pubs are more food-orientated but still great pub culture. Unfortunately, the William Wallace (the last unrenovated in Balmain) has closed.
Thanks for the reply. Iam 64 now when I saw your message,I relived my youth for a few happy minutes. Thanks for the memories, hope you are well and all the very best for the future.
I Hear you, I'm 63 and watching from Adelaide.
Richard we have been very lucky with all the brilliant music we've had over the years not like the drivel of today
What a lovely man. Such a change to the "celebrities" we have today. May his good work go on.
Well said m'lady
One day, the full extent of Mark, and Dire Straits' charitable endeavours will be disclosed. It will be staggering. Well done Sir.
What a guy… The best.
Going Home comes from one of my Fav films of all time "Local Hero". Conjures up seeing the Scottish scenery.
The World needs wonderful humans like Mark knopfler🤘🤘🤘
What a great guy. A true legend in his own lifetime.
My favourite track from Brothers in arms. It was the b side and I listened to it non stop for months!
And yet another layer of Mark Knopfler is peeled away for all of us to see more of this incredible man.
I have the feeling that MK feels lucky to have been able to live his dream, and tries to share that luck with others very often. For those kids he is a real local hero❤
I’ll never love this man enough. Thank you Mark
Great music by a great Scotsman born in Glasgow.
Newcastle is a place I would like to visit. Sweet folks there
As a father, it's hard to watch this without shedding tears for those beautiful young people who struggle daily with the worst of challenges.
To see Mr Knopfler's involvement like this is so wonderful.
We can only hope that the dreaded C passes us by without knocking, but one never knows. I just lost my beloved dad to it a few months ago. Can't imagine having a child go through it. Love from Sydney - Dave
Newcastle and the whole of Britain will be proud of your musical accomplishments and your charity work . Well done lad our local hero

Scotstoun lad like myself 👌
Song was written for Local Hero, movie about Scotland.
@@emeraldabroad2771but sees himself as a Geordie
He sees himself as British. All of his folk songs have a fusion of Scottish, Irish, and English folk tunes@@Leigh69

A Geordie writing songs about Scotstoun? (Border Reiver) 🥱
I saw the movie Local Hero when it was released in Melbourne back in 1983. I fell in love with the soundtrack and still play it today - I never get sick of it. It's beautiful music.❤🎶🎵
Same for me. Still one of my favorite movies and the song continues to wind it's way through my life 40 years later.
Belgium instead of Melbourne, but dito....
One of our absolutely best. Sir Mark!
Mark is such an amazing charitable man 🎸
Mark is a truly unique person who has lived his life in a very measured and conscientious way. His own attitude towards living and learning every day has always been an example to me. His music lives inside of people´s minds and hearts. I have had the pleasure of hearing Mark play "Going Home" live many times. It would always be the last song of the concert and would always have a melancholy FEEL as you knew that this was IT. THE END of an incredible musical show in this supremely, talented man´s prescence. He embodies all that makes a full-bodied, fully-enriched person. Newcastle can be proud. As an English female, I am so very proud of this truly great man. I have signed posters of him on my lounge walls, a whole shelf dedicated to his music albums, all of which I listen to with great regularity. He has certainly made a "MARK" on my life and what a beautiful "MARK" it is. Everything he does is done with beautiful thoughts behind it which is why everything he does is a glittering success which millions of people will enjoy and be "ENRICHED" by. Just as the cancer patients and staff will have been so warmly touched by his visit. GREAT MAN!! Thanks for sharing.
For me, Mark never plays Going Home with enough "oomph" live, at least not compared to the studio version. I would, at best, call his live performances of the song as being a bit pedestrian, although his "pedestrian" is still a few levels above that of most other guitarists.
Lovely words - really enjoyed reading that.
@@robinwatson4282 Thank you! I could wax lyrical about this spectacularly talented man all day. I even included him in the dedication of my first published book!!!! Here is the dedication for your enjoyment! "This work is dedicated to all those who have loved me and still love me, my beloved family. To all the teachers in my life who have shared their knowledge with me. To each and every brewer of mint tea, who has shared their brew with me, along with their time and company and to each and every wonderful person whose path I have crossed and who has shared their pearls of wisdom with me. To Mr. John Lydon and `All The Young Punks´, The Clash, the late Bob Marley, the late Peter Tosh, UB40 and The Specials, whose pearls of wisdom have shown themselves to be just that! And to my favourite troubadour Mark Knopfler for taking me away with him on his travels and soothing my soul for the last four decades! Thankyou all, life just would not have ever had the same beautiful shine without you all!"
I originate from South West London and have had the privilege of seeing so many great British singers and bands over the years but my big regret is never having been to a Dire Straights/ Mark Knopfler concert. I just love the music some of which just brings tears to my eyes.
Oh how I can associate with your circumstance, I feel the same..why have I not seen this great legend live. Atleast we get to feel his music, it moves my heart & soul ❤️ 💙
This man is so special.Brings me to tears thinking of what a great soul he is . ❤
Was at St James’s Park on Saturday, and hearing the new production of Going Home was the highlight of the day for me. Sounded amazing in the stadium, and I’m a Wolves fan!
From Canada, Local Hero is one of my all time favourites, I even went out of my way to visit Pennan on a trip to Scotland in 2012. This Song never fails to move me. Can’t wait to hear this version
Legendary. His music is a big part of my life.
What a wonderful man! And he can play a bit too! Bless you Mark.
Amasing humble down to earth man… Bless you Mark! ❤️
The man is an icon , and that is from a southern or even worse a London softie. All power to the man .
Of the best guitarist in the world . Period. But what he did here is even more important.well done mark
I've loved this song since first hearing it on the Local Hero soundtrack. It was such a small movie I had no idea it was so loved by so many ❤🇨🇦
mark i hope you realise how many geordies you inspire, not just through your music amongst musicians but also through the football fans and also your support for the various charities, you are very much loved and appreciated for not just your musicianship but your humanity too. respect, big respect.
What a great story, what a great man, I too think it's time for Sir Mark!
A wonderful man ! I salute you ! 😊
But remember , Mark was born and lived in Glasgow till he was seven , it’s where he gets his Celtic touch to many of his tunes and songs , and this tune was the theme tune to the great movie Local Hero , filmed mostly in the NE of Scotland , great movie 😊
The beach scenes were filmed near Mallaig on the West Coast.
A friend of mine just became diagnosed with Cancer during a common vacation on Malta. He was found out down there to have three Cancer Tumors in his brain, and hardly reached our home in Denmark before he died a few days after!
Love Mark. A Real Man doesn’t have to be “tough”. ie. brothers in arms.
This song is so special to me. I played when I got home for the weekend at my parents farm, back in the 80s. I was so happy to be home! So I played this loud, the live version, I was home…. I was a student back then, I am 59 now. But this song still makes me feel 21 again, such a strong song. Didn’t know it was the anthem of Newcastle… sorry boys… maybe I will visit a game there one day.
Wonderful, selfless gesture Mark, you sir a a genuine legend.
Had the good fortune and Honour of meeting Mark, An Absolutely Smashing Fella, Warm Engaging and Completely down to earth, A real Gentleman and what a fantastic musician and songwriter up there with them all.. ⭐️🌞🙏❤️🙌
He is genuinely interested in these people you can see that. Great man. A lot of other ‘celebrities’ doing charity for themselves…
Why the need to be negative? Celebrate the man, that's enough. But if you're going to go the other way, have the courage to name names. Otherwise you're just the old man shouting at clouds.
Not everyone knows how to listen to this song. It takes a good ear, but it is a fantastic creation. Thanks, Mark🙏
I received the CD on the date of its release!
Awesome recording and for a very worthy cause!👍👍👍🤜🤜🤜🎸🎸🎸
Using his incredible talent to help people for year after year..that's a Great man!
May be the best human on earth ❤ without doubt the best guitar 🎸 player with Clapton and Green 😊
Mark Knopfler: An otherworldly guitarist and songwriter, and an even better human being. Blessings on him!
Mark is awesome, its also great to see he is looking after himself and looking much healthier, I saw him live a few years ago and he couldn't move on stage, really great to see
My fav stadium shows from the 80s are Dire Straits, great music, still played today. Lovely to hear MarkK doing this great work. Yes, he shld be Sir!! Cheers from NZ.

Thank you Mark Knopfler, and yes, as others have commented you are the hero, and all the others who have now stepped up and joined you with the new version of Going Home. Its a classic.
How wonderful is that, bravo Mark.
Love this song. Love the movie Local Hero. Love Knopfler. Such a great guy and such a good cause.
Great contribution to society, well done Mark and all the staff.
I first saw Local Hero before making my first trip 'across the pond'. Going Home expressed the longing and home sickness I felt for a place I had never been but loved deeply in my heart since I was a child. All these years later (and 4 trips over) nothing has changed my mind about that in the least!
I love this man!
Mark the best !!!
Le plus grand de tous les guitaristes song writer et chanteursr
Golden heart…
Well done Mark.
What an amazing man! He continues to lift people to new heights. What a gift to us all.
