Thank you from Canada

WOW! I cannot recall a more moving deliverance of the ODE! Thank you to that choir! We will remember them! Lest We Forget.

My thanks to all who sacrificed their lives to give me a wonderful future for at least 60 years of my life. I will honour you all my life.

All the medals for what?

GREAT SERVICE BUT NO PUBLIC WHEY

My dad fought at Gallipoli and later in Flanders. I visited the gate some years ago and cannot describe the moving experience. it was wonderful to see as well the number of British school children visiting. My dad died in an air raid in the second world war and is buried in a civilian grave tended by the Commonwealth War Grave Commission

Great respect and honor

This is a holy place in Belgium . The care, the respect for the graves. Belgians and English fought and died here. An Englishman in Ypres is not a foreigner. The last post is played every day

Squire nagged and bullied till I went to fight, (Under Lord Derby's Scheme) I died in hell (They called it Passchendaele). My wound was slight, and I was hobbling back; and then a shell Burst slick upon the duck-boards: so I fell Into the bottomless mud, and lost the light. At sermon-time, while the Squire is in his pew, He gives my gilded name a thoughtful stare; For, though low down upon the list, I'm there; 'In proud and glorious memory' ... that's my due. Two bleeding years I fought in France, for Squire: I suffered anguish that he's never guessed. Once I came home on leave: and then went west... What greater glory could a man desire?

Prince William's own great granduncle was one of those killed on the Western front and never identified. Captain Fergus Bowes-Lyon, brother of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

And who honors the central powers soldiers, who died fulfiling their duties?

My British second cousin and distant relative to the royals of Prince Charles and William 🇬🇧 Pvt. Fredrick Edward Croker 6th Battalion Wiltshire infantry Regiment killed in action on Oct 11,1917 at the age of 19 yrs old 🇬🇧. ~ 🇺🇸

My Great Grandfather was shot at Ypres. and he crawled on his hands and knees back to Menin (before the gate stood). In the field hospital he met his future wife. so if not for that battle I wouldnt exist.

I went in memory of my great uncle George cyril Orchard 1st Australian division. Thank you for your sacrifice R.IP.

There will be no point in this after Queen Nicola as had here way. There will be no "British" soldier to remember.

I have been here a number of times, it is a heartbreakingly moving experience and moves you to tears. My Grandfather and his 2 brothers fought in the salient, one was killed in action, the other died in 1917 after being sent home and my Grandfather survived, luckily for me. I never knew him for he died before I was born. It was a terrible waste. Ypres itself was levelled to the ground but its people rebuilt it as it was, a massive tribute to the Belgian people.

The composer Ralph Vaughan Williams served on the Western Front and wrote his Pastoral Symphony in response. This is the final movement of it: ruclips.net/video/7MWsJDh_nm4/видео.html

ftw, honour... Caluwe gouvernour of West Flandern is a traitor

Special to see students playing together with military musicians, they were both really amazing!

So i live on the most holy ground of England ? wonder sometimes the dead that is still are under our feet RIP . I learn it to my son /never forget

22:55 When you go home, tell them of us and say For your tomorrow, we gave our today.

I must have heard this hymn so many times at many Services of Remembrance, but the tears just roll down my face every time. It just calls up so many images of sacrifice and pain. God love them.

I have no words, only tears and gratitude. Huge Men. I will remember them. Greetings from Catalonia.

Will we ever learn,a Scotsman.

It was his family that caused it ...How dare you pretend you give a shit about the brave men that gave their lives for your vanity ...Windsor ...ha ha .German to the core .. It was a game

England: "a small country of great bravery, a roaring lion." SONETO LXV If death predominates in bravery Of the bronze, stone, earth and immense sea, It can survive the beauty, Having the force to devastate the flower? How can the aroma of summer Stop the heavy harassment of these days, If steel doors and hard rocks do not Can tyranny overcome Time? Where to hide - atrocious meditation - The gold that Time wants in its ark? What hand can hold your swift foot, Or what beauty Time does not demarcate? None! Unless this, my love In black ink save your glow. "Willian Shakespeare" Congratulations from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Was there last year and I have to say I cried my eyes out was one of these things that happen when you start reading names and it all comes home to you. Lest we forget from northern Ireland God save the queen

The Youth Choir were amazing. Whoa r they?

very sincere

Behind each name a family left in distress. A moving ceremony

🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🌹🌹🙏🌹🌹🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

My grandfather's name is written on the menin gate. His body was never found.. my father was on the beaches at Dunkirk and on the first day on D day landings and died a Chelsea pensioner. My mother was a refugee form central Europe and most of her family were destroyed. What sacrifice will the next generations make for all our freedom.? Will they make a stand?

Superbe interprétation de la Brabanconne par la musique des Guards !

WE WILL REMBER THEM

What is the name of the last hymn? That one brought me to tears!!

God blessed all these sacrified soldiers for our freedom ! Is it a dream a world without war ? 🌹🌷🌹

I am almost speechless - the respect and honor you have given to those who lost their lives 100 years ago is the very highest dignity you could pay those who paid so much. The service was beautiful and the words spoken were a beautiful way to say to those who are no longer with us. Your service touched my heart and brought a tear to my eye. Today we know so little about those days 100 years ago - the battles that were fought, the men who served and the countries they represented. This commemoration service brought home the message of how costly a war over pieces of land are and for what. My heart goes out to those who gave their lives in the service of their country and to their families living or deceased. Whatever wounds you may have suffered cause you no more pain and the hand of God reaches out now and protects you.

Who's the guy giving the first speech?

From the Commonwealth, from Canada 🇨🇦, who fought alongside the UK 🇬🇧 during the Great War and the Second World War, among others; in battles such as Passiondale and Ypres, may we always have great ties and great relationships among our 2 countries, as history dictates it so - “In Flanders Fields, where poppies grow, amongst the crosses , row on row...” - Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, May 1915, Canadian Expeditionary Forces.

For Frederick Le Poidevin, my Paternal Grandfather, one of the few to return from . . . The Great War, “The war to end all wars" Today I feel so raw I hate any fucking war 100 years ago today So many men died Left in the mud In a field far from home Loved ones not there Not able to mourn Alone and afraid Bleeding and cold Never to grow old Struck down in their prime So many never to return What thoughts in their heads The whistle blows And over the top They rushed en masse Into the teeth of hell Barbed wire tearing flesh Bombs ripping them apart Bullets screaming through the air Thudding into men Shredding organ and bone Strewn on the ground in pieces Like offal on a slaughterhouse floor No longer human Just gobbets of meat Lying on the sodden ground So few came home And those that did Would never forget The sights and smells The noise, the terror The nightmares remained With them all their lives For those men back home The war never ended Replayed in their heads Unbidden the horrors Recalled without warning Breaking their souls Countless times again And again down the years Unable to forget . . . Lest we forget

It's 2018 and the Centennial of the Armistice. President Trump has declined to attend one of the ceremonies because it is raining. I'm so ashamed for my country. I remember the terrible sacrifice of the many and I wish I could say we Americans will never forget, but the truth is, we forgot about WWI a long time ago. God Bless You All.

The emotion I felt when I had the pleasure of visiting Menin Gates was unbelievable. My partners great grandfather Thomas Hughes has his name on the walls. His sacrifice and all should never be forgotten. Thank you.

Hi from Belgium... when I go to Ypres, I place a hand on the wall to touch the names, like you would do when saying goodbye to a loved one with a lump in your throat. The most sacred place in my country.

"They have not nor shall be forgotten, their tomorrow is our today and their sacrifice is our freedom. Stand together and they shall stand with us again"

All gave some, some gave their last drop of young blood! Lest we forget...

Thank you, every night is a very special remembrance of all or fallen. I have been honored to take part n this very special commemoration

So sad and moving. And no disrespectful gum-chewers as far as I could see.

The Floewrs of the Forest was played to fast.

I am going to Ypres next week to visit my great uncle's grave in Zanvoorde and the last post at the Menin Gate. It will be a very poignant time. My grandad, his brother, fought in the Somme and was one of the few who returned home.
