Fantastically raw version of a very powerfull song, great tribute to a great man. That big church has NEVER witnessed such a song for freedom...thanks Craig and Charlie!🏴😢
Really? I'm not so sure. There's a story about a pretty rousing performance of Psalm 124. Was it when English interference in the Kirk was thrown out and the Reformation/Presbyterianism reinstated? Possibly in 1600s? And remember Jenny Geddes triggered a riot there too. By throwing her stool at English-prayer-book ministers. It hasn't always been a fiefdom of the Establishment.
This is what I call the best way to hear that you are the only reason to hear from you and this funeral is a great idea to see him in peace with the angels in heaven Alex rest in peace with the heavenly father in Jesus Christ is the best way to make his way through the eternal peace and happiness in peace Richard McGeechan ❤
I’m no scotish nationalist (well I’m English) and would never vote for Alex but I respected his opinion and always listened to him on the radio. mavericks like him will be missed.
I’m Scottish and agree. Im not a nationalist, however I used to frequently sit next to him on the Edinburgh to London shuttle and he was a nice bloke. Different views and opinions are important. How we share them is also important - we’ve sadly lost that skill.
I am a Scottish nationalist BECAUSE I am English. English tax payers subsidise Scottish lifestyles to a truly wicked degree. For instance,e we have just handed them an extra 3.5 billion, and Scottish pensioners will now get their winter fuel payment. It is evil, utterly evil.
What a beautiful memorial for a Great Man. Thank you for everything!!! There hasn’t been a country that has left the British Empire, then to ask to come back!!!
No one has wanted to come back. Barbados 🇧🇧 removed the Queen as head of state not that long ago. The words of the song “I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land” The Scots are more than capable. The English are scared to loose Scotland.
@poppymckenzie1438 Never had that referendum in Barbados though, did they? I hate to break it to you but Scottish independence is not going to happen any time soon. The SNP are losing support. There is no figurehead now in the same fashion as Alex Salmond. You can sing all the songs you like, the UK isn't going anywhere.
As usual the backstabbing lot appear to say how great he was yet they were glad to see him go…To them remember KARMA always comes to call ..😡😡😡😡🏴🏴🏴
Back stabbed by his ex SNP colleagues,a sad ending for a Scotsman with a great intellectual brain, Ironically enough some of them are at the service. 🤷♂️
RIP Alex..you did your country some service..you got the independence ball rolling and when it happens you will be remembered with gratitude..History will be kind to you..respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 ✊️🏴
R.I.P big man, hope yer wish for independence comes true very soon, should have happened in 2014 but to many cowards voted no 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Funny all afraid for their pensions yet look what Labour is doing RIP Alex hope our dreams for Independence comes soon Brilliant by the Proclaimers from Dundee the City of Independence 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔💔💙💙💙💙🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Even as an atheist, people playing pop songs in churches will never be not awkwardly comical to me. It gives off strong David Brent-like vibes. No disrespect to Alex Salmond.
I live in Newcastle, id love rhe idea of been the closest city to a different country. However you voted to let someone else rule your land .i thinkk it would have been great personally. Proclaimers legends.

I am also proud of my Welsh ancestry and Irish. I am proud of every part of the British Isles and Irish because it's the parts of a whole that makes it complete.
@Iazzaboyce I wouldn't like to put my finger on anyone particular thing there's too many to choose from. We don't have the best treatment to most countries if not all.

He was a very clever politician and he very nearly convinced Scotland that Independence was the right thing to do. I now know he was wrong and my family and friends ( some of whom voted SNP) cannot wait to get them out next May. However respect to Alex Salmond who at least you knew where he stood! RIP Alex🙏
Ten woman made sexual complaints against this man. Thats ten woman not connected, with nothing to gain. He was found not guilty. He was up to something. Sleezy character.
And how do you think that will go? Don't get me wrong I support independence - but a plebiscite is a stupid idea and will fail, leaving unionists with even more ammunition. Now let's assume for a second that a plebiscite was held and the vote was to go in independence's favour. Great, but we both know that it will be a slim majority. So what then? The UK agrees in this scenario to allow us our independence but what have we inherited? We have inherited a deeply divided newly independent Scotland - at a time when the going will get tough and we need to pull together to make it a success - and without that it will fail. Swinney knows that I am sure. Support needs to be as high as it was against leaving the EU for it to succeed, Alex Salmond knew that, he may have disagreed with the SNP's approach but he knew the reality of the situation.

I met The Proclaimers in Natick MA about 10 years ago. They were real gents. What an honor to have them perform at one’s funeral service.
Fabulous! Alex would have loved it! 💙
I love their music and their performing. What a tribute.
Awesome! What a tribute to Alex 🌹🏴
What beatuful performance and tribute to alex salmond r.i.p.
Brilliant I am sure he is smiling
Great choice of song 🏴
What a beautiful memorial for a Great Man.
Thank you for everything!!!
There hasn’t been a country that has left the British Empire, then to ask to come back!!!
I think Hong Kong might disagree with that.
China leased Hong Kong to Great Britain in 1898 for 99 years.
Rhodesia did, albeit briefly. As for the rest, has any ever been asked in a referendum? I'm sure some might have over the years.
No one has wanted to come back. Barbados 🇧🇧 removed the Queen as head of state not that long ago.
The words of the song “I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land” The Scots are more than capable.

You have respect for each other and that’s what it’s all about 😊

It’s good to have seen different politics rather than themes of the same and this recent woke agenda. Very damaging.
Woke means inclusive for people of all colours, sexes and sexual orientation. How can that possibly be a bad thing in 2024?
