Many years ago I was playing this on a tape deck with my mother in the passenger seat and when this very note played she simultaneously held and tapped my hand that was on the gear stick. It seemed as if it spoke to her whole life. She teared up as did I. The resonance is so beautiful. As was my mother.

He had nothing in life except his good manners and courtesy to others and was well respected as the pit electrician. He'd help anyone and share anything he had.

    All the comments are the same. We all come here to remember our Dads who paid the toll of life in passing and leaving us with hearts filled with wonderful memories of a time gone by.
    I got married on Tuesday 29th October 2024 (two days ago from writing this) and I pined for my Dad to be there.
    James Cairns Dow - was a coal miner at Daw Mill Colliery in Coventry up until he had a major accident down there in July 1990. That retired him, crippled with spinal injuries. Dad was incredible. They knew him as ‘Jimmy the Red’, which I used to think was because he was a ginger-haired Scotsman. But it was really because they named him that due to his fiery attitude as a union man. He worked at several other pits through his time, seconded out to Cadley and others around the Coventry area, and he realised that all the men were being paid completely different wages for the exact same work. He went mad at the gaffers and upper bosses to fix it so they all got proper pay. He was so well loved. He was a traditional socialist in the original nature of the type - he wanted equality among workers and a proper welfare system that left no one behind. He wasn’t a lefty or a radical, unlike most of todays’ Labour supporters. He believed in hard work, fair pay, fair rights and strong family bonds. Dad used to sit and shout at the TV on Sundays when Parliament was on the BBC live, back in the 80s.
    Dad died of Small Cell Lung Cancer on the 21st February 2015, having been diagnosed with it in the July prior. We scattered his ashes at Markeaton Cemetery in Derbyshire. He was only 59 years old. I was 35 when he passed.
    I’m now 45 and I have the most amazing wife, Natalie. She knows how this film affects me. It’s my most treasured film of all, not just because it is such an accurate account of what the pits went through under Thatcher and the wretched Tories.
    So here’s a toast, to all the men who lived, loved their families and passed away after a gruelling life in the black dust. A legacy was made. And it shall live on in the hearts of all of us.
    💙

    A fitting tribute. "Danny Boy" is a ballad, written by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly in 1913, and set to the traditional Irish melody of "Londonderry Air".

    Fantastic scene. And even despite the sad tone of the scene , they still throw in humourus lines like Pete Posthlethwaite telling the ward sister /matron she'll be "waking up in the next bed," despite being on his last legs .

      @morikanteyekeyeke6147 6 лет назад +4

      This is absolutely the best arrangement ever. Can’t be better. Its the same when they play “abide with me” or “633 squadron”.

    • @morikanteyekeyeke6147
      @morikanteyekeyeke6147 4 года назад +1

      This is the best version, just like the play Abide with me ( see youtube), though I am realy a hard rock fan.

      Danny Boy almost does anyway, whether it's Judith singing it or a brass band playing it. Add this scene, and I have no chance.
