1:34 1:37 @loddon82 I am a Veteran former Royal Marine Commando, and yes I am very proud of it. If you look at these guys chests you will see the medals they have earned. They also serve in Commando units and Royal Navy ships.
To the people who gave this a thumbs down, support the country you live in or live in the country you support, we’re tired of your whining, you won’t be missed trust me
Watching this brings back the heartbreak and emotions which have continued everyday for the past eight years. Utterly destroyed at the 174 dislikes, I hope whoever the 174 are they don't have to bury one of the children. If you dislike or don't agree agree, don't say anything. This was for my beautiful son
I am sorry your son died. I have never seen this tribute before. Talented musicians preforming a farewell Tribute . Once again Ms Turner sorry your son died . Bravery and courage for service to his Country. A hero he is . People who give a thumbs down never served or had parents or siblings who did.
This tribute brought tears to my eyes. 23 years in the Royal Navy, including the Falklands, great respect for the Royal Marines and all fellow servicemen.
As an ex Royal Marine Commando, this means so much to me. i lost Friends in northern ireland and even more whe we assaulted the twin sisters in the Falklands. For those that gave this a thumbs down I hope you never volunteer for your countries armed forces and then go through combat and lose friends and comrades that have become closer than your own family, ity tears you apart, stops you wanting to know people or get close to people in case they too die and leave you. even know 39 years after the Falklands I still suffer with PTSD and the last post and the band of the royal marines can still bring me to tears.
Too true , I am a member of the Australian Returned Services League, similar to British Leagion, and cite the ode ever month still sends shivers down my back. Just buried a close friend who survived many battles but succumbed to cancer, military style funeral with last post. Very sad.
As a U S Marine I had the privilege of doing some training with the Royal Marines. A great bunch of guys! We ran their Tarzan course at their training base. What a great workout! God bless you our Royal Marine brothers! Oohrah
Thank you,for your kind words,like millions of other BRITS,so very happy to hear the kind thoughts of other people,in the world and their very kind thoughts,about our Wonderful. ROYAL MARINES.
As a U.S. Marine I've attended or been a part of funeral details for my fallen brothers. From WWII to Korea to Vietnam to Beruit, most all I didn't know and 1 that I served with, they were all my brothers. While not as elaborate as my Royal Marine brothers here we showed our fallen Marines and their families great respect. Well done lads.
My Uncle Ted Evans (Corporal Royal Marines 47 Commando) was killed during Operation Infatuate on 2 November 1944 - he was 19. I'm watching this for him. Thank you for posting this and f*** all the thumbs down.
john evans now then my grandad Albert McCaughran Royal marine WW2 survived the war but here l tip my cap to your Uncle Ted who probably shared a beer with my grandpa
I can't believe anyone would give a thumbs down to this. I hope part of your punishment in the afterlife is to listen to this forever. It's FANTASTIC!! God bless these folks. 🙏🙏
@@garrymackenzie309 big of you, thinking we may need defending. look closer to home. you got yours coming sooner than you think. maybe then you'll be coming to us wanting help.
Dear Rosemary, I grew up in a Navy family. Uncles, Cousins, and most of our family friends were Navy. I'm 70 now, and have been to so many Navy funerals it's just left a dent in me. I started crying for you thinking about the loss you've suffered. It's hard for me to listen to pipes, or drums, or bugles. Remember, God loved soldiers. Recall the Centurion that trusted Jesus to just speak the word, and he knew his daughter would be healed. For those haters that gave this a thumb down, God will give them a thumb down someday. Be well......
It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that Corporal David O'Connor, from 40 Commando Royal Marines, and Corporal Channing Day, from 3 Medical Regiment, were killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday 24 October 2012 while on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province. God Blessed are the Peace Makers.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

What a fantastic send off. Brought a tear to my eye as a former Irish Soldier. Regardless of country all soldiers will recognize what it represents. That is about your brothers in arms, your family, the ones that stand beside you and have your back..
"All gave some. Some gave all." No truer words have ever been spoken. May the family and friends of Corporal O'Connor, and every one of his brothers in arms, know the appreciation and gratitude of the civilized and FREE world we enjoy. Thank you and God Save the Queen! Much love and respect from America.
23 people dislike this demonstration of Royal Marines showing respect for a fallen comrade and national hero who fell fighting for his country. There such a thing as life undeserving of life.
the dislikes are probably entitled lowlife who probably never had to sacrifice anything in their lives and know nothing about loyalty, honour, etc. lovely tribute to a fallen brother. RIP all of our boys and girls who laid down their lives to give us a society of liberty , free speech where the haters can say what they want thanks to generations of our service men and women 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My Dad was in the Royal Artillery, He fought alongside the Gurkha Regiment in Malaya, I never served but he taught me a lot of what he learned in the British Army, I learned to respect in a lot of ways, and I will never forget one thing he told me, He Said to me, If ever an emergency or danger, you always put women and children first, then he said never hit a woman, if you do you will get one from me, he went on to say no matter what a women may do to you, you never lay a finger on her, I never have, that's one thing I learned from him, he was a Mans Man. Oh yes, Me my five Brothers and two sisters, We all can count in Malayan Language... as that's how he counted out our pocket money lol, I still can today lol great memories.
those that gave a thumbs down have no idea of honor, , duty , integrity, selflessness and above all sacrifice for country family and self. they dont and never will understand what those words mean. they live the lifestyle they choose because good men and women fight and die for them, and they are to selfish to realize that
So utterly sad to see some thumbs down. Clearly you are not fit to carry this mans shoes . Im sure your parents tried to raise u better than this Show some respect you dishonour yourselves . Be at peace Bootneck 🙏 You are not Forgotten..🇬🇧
Here in my country we have a saying:"all men can die but traditions must survive", long live beautiful military traditions, long live memory on fallen soldiers!
@karlanthony2179 yes Bootneck, from a brother , you are at peace and let us hope that the ones who disliked the tribute by our Sticks leave this country you served, couragely and may they know that you, who gave all are so much better than the disgusting people they are Rest in Peace, brother.

Indeed they are.. some sons grow up thinking heroes wear capes. They Don’t, they wear The green beret of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Commandos.. just like my father.
𝔸. 𝕄𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕣 yeah of course they are .. they just get good then some twat with an AK-47 for home defence comes in on fully automatic because he’s got the hump after flunking his mid-term paper and had his triangle taken away.
You can talk about the Guards and any other regiment you can think of, but every time I see and hear the Royal Marines it sends a shiver of pure pride down my back. I've seen and heard the Top Secret Drum Corps who are absolutely fascinating to watch - and why not? The difference is that the TSDC are not full-time soldiers - their business is drumming, and they are truly spectacular. The RM's on the other hand, are full-time serving soldiers and have to fit their music into a very busy military schedule. Wherever they go in the world they are held in awe and great respect, just as they really deserve. For timing and precision, they are unmatchable! Britain has good reason to be proud of such men.
+Lee Wainwright Aren't british service men kind of spit on in public? edit: that wasn't intended to be inflammatory or disrespectful toward the fallen marine; it's something i've heard which seems contrary to what you said
+buzz tightear why what have said wrong I am saying thank you to this brave man and show that some off us on Civvy street are grateful to the arm services
That was truly exceptional. What had my eyes leaking here was the thought of the family of the fallen man who watching this and seeing the show of discipline and respect that his comrades have shown here...the most fitting tribute to a colleague of the armed forces. Exceptional beating to time guys, the best I've ever seen. This is why the rest of the world look to Britain for the lead in how to do this sort of thing.
Too the 191 disrespectful people,this young man paid the ultimate sacrifice so that you may live in freedom,and sleep safe at night. God bless him and thank him
Absolutely astounding performance, only tinged by the sadness for the reason which prompted it. My eternal thanks for your service in defending my freedom. Now sleep in Peace, bathed in God's Light and Love. My respects to you. 😔
As always the Royal Marines showing that they are absolutely world class, the best in fact. To the thumbs down individuals, all I can say is , shame on you.
As a fairly typical (I like to think anyway) civvy I'd add that your efforts and sacrifices aren't unappreciated...and I'd like to show the same respect these guys are displaying...
Respect from Germany ...Comrades !!!!! To the Family of Corp. O`Connor ...............God bless him ---------------stay pride....god ´s eyes ´re on you!!!
That you Corporal David O'Connor and all those brave men and women, as well as their loved ones, whose incredible bravery keeps us safe. We owe you so much.
I knew him for a short while. A lovely young lad who grew into a true Royal Marine. RIP david ‘until.valhalla’ I knew his dad Roy for a few years..I always think about him and david this time of year. Roy had an amazing impact on a lot of kids who made great lives for themselves through his starting guidance. Roy if you ever see this look me up mate.. much respect.
In remembrance to our friend Msgt Jeffrey Briar. A marines marine, dedicated to being a great leader and to work his hardest to accomplish a work ethic and love for each person. Funny, outgoing, considerate, smart. We miss him and hope that ever marine laid to rest is at peace. God is over all protecting all. Happy Birthday Marines Semper Fidelis :)
We had our birthday on the 28th October, 355 years old. Your friend, your brother sounded like a great man. I come from over the water and we don't use Semper Fidelis but, I understand the meaning of In all things faithful. We would simply offer a hope in Rest easy Royal. PMPT
My heart goes out to the family and friends of this soldier and the other families who have lost loved ones in battle may they never be forgotten and remember they are watching over you and keeping you safe even up there 🙏🙏

Now that is what I call a fitting tribute, to a fallen comrade. R.I.P. who better to have this honour than the Drum Corp of HM ROYAL MARINES.
I found this very moving. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. 🇬🇧
Always impressive. Clockwork and a great salute!
It can’t be better.
Hands down the Royal Marines, have and will Always be one of the greatest Marching Military bands around!!
They DESERVE as well as their fallen comrade a BIG Semper FI. That was moving as well as beautiful.
Now that’s how you play the drums, absolutely fantastic, and a very poignant farewell to one of the fallen. RIP and Lest We Forget. 👍🇬🇧🏴
My son hopes to join the Marines, he's already so proud of their achievement and dedication to service......... And the best drum corp in the world, bonus
