I was in Edinburgh, as a tourist, when the queen died. They started to install fences to close the Royal Mile to traffic, and to prepare a one-way pedestrian path at the Holyroodhouse gate for flowers. The first policeman I spoke with came from Glasgow, as many others, because in Edinburgh there were insufficient officers. However, independent on this sad event, once again I would like to give my appreciation to Scotland and scottish people. I have very good friends in Scotland and I think that this is a very beautiful Land. Love from Italy. 💚🤍❤
I am from Sweden, but happened to be in Dublin on the day. And as i am sure all know Ireland is a republic. But all i talked to was sad abouth the death and even mentioned our Queen.
I am an American. I loved Her late Majesty, and thought the Scottish send-off was strong, unifying and most respectful. Queen Elizabeth II is dearly missed, the likes of which will not be seen in this lifetime. God blessed her with a long life and reign.
The world's most dedicated monarch got the worlds most regimental funeral Ever ,,,never forgotten,, dignity in the whole country,, from northern Ireland ☘️☘️☘️ biggest respect
She did serve in the Women's Auxiliary Corps during the Second World War when she was 18. She was immensely proud of the armed forces and the fact she served alongside her people
I was born in Brooklyn ny. My father was born in Scotland and came here as a child. I am most proud and grateful for my heritage and appreciate this video the comments and bless all involved
We applaud as we weep, our hands showing our gratitude to Her Majesty. Otherwise we would burst out in loud sobs and wails. Indeed, applause is much more dignified than that.
You know, there was a time when depending on where you were on a battle-line when you heard those pipes coming either you knew help was on the way and you were going to be all right, or you knew you were in DEEP trouble! God bless the Scots!
Snuck up on me there. I thought the video would be from the last time it was played during her lifetime. Brought it all back to me, the realization that we have seen the end of an era, and the end of the greatest generation.
MAGNIFICENT. I'm English and I am most honoured to have served in the British Army alongside countrymen from Scotland, Wales and Ireland.The Scottish response to the Queen's death was respectful in the extreme. The Scots bade farewell to their Queen wonderfully. Great Britain & Northern Ireland, one nation, each to our own and proud. Well done Scotland.
Depends on your perspective obviously. There was a lot of disrespect it was just hidden away. Obviously it's well known (even here abroad) that half of the UK hate monarchy (primarily London and Scotland, which matches the Brexit demographics interestingly enough). After the state of the Ukraine and talking to the people of the Donbas along side Patrick Lancaster, who has a channel here now -- I can say that the British are sickening. All those people. The graves are everywhere. And as usual those deaths are on you and your evil nazi western fascism. Go and do some more Soros/Biden bidding. It's all your evil country is good for.
Dear HRH Queen 🇬🇧 Elizabeth, rest in peace with your dear Philip and your beloved mum Queen Mother. Your beloved Highland Laddies will watch over you now & forever. The world will not be the same with you gone 💔 Love Suzanne 🇨🇦🏴🏴
It's literally just what they do!! I know!!! For me it feels like it awakens the very soul that I am. It feels like eternity, the heavens, life itself, enlivened and whole and full, my heart so full of vibrance and the joy of life, overflowing from me. It feels like belonging and home and remembrance. Literally. Every. Time. 💕💕💕💕 and I am in love. 😌 pure bliss. So profound and powerfull. Best sound and energy that emits from it 💕💕💕💕💕

Although it was a funeral possession, Scotland displayed it's tradition, love and support for United Kingdom. Together the kingdom stands. That is the spirit of the very British in the real sense. I love that. May Queen Elizabeth the 2nd rest in peace. She was one of the longest ruling monarchs of all time. God bless you Mam. I love that.

As part Scots and Irish the skirl of the pipes has always sent a shiver up my spine. I once encountered a lone piper pacing up and down in a small sun drenched clearing in a Chicago forest preserve near a bike path I was riding and to this day I'm not sure if what I saw was real or a ghost.
Once long ago in Nacogdoches Texas when I was visiting I heard a piper piping the sun down. It was a sureal experience. We are American citizens now but, forever we are Scotts.
I'm from north east england my dad who was a Scotland fan it ran through his veins and always cycled with the youth anyways he always listened to the bag pipes and now I've inherited his love for them and when I hear flower of scotland and Scotland the brave i get goosebumps and my heart is filled with pride listening to you
Wow, soo proud, soo right and soo beautiful!! And my god we can see exactly why the Queen fell in love with Scotland. Her journey from Balmoral just showed Scotland's beauty!!
Ich bin Deutscher , aber arbeitete von 1998 - 2014 bei den British Forces Germany in Hameln 28.Engr Rgt als Kraftfahrer 3 Jahre danach im GGS als ACW , war ne schöne Zeit schade das sie aus Deutschland abgezogen wurden . Aber dies hat mich geprägt was Bagpipes and Drums angeht . R.I.P Her Majesty
Love the little oriental piper done up in full regalia, kilt and all. Huge crowd turnout for the queen's passing. That is pleasing to see because each and every person present was a comfort to the bereaved. That is all it takes really, just making the effort to put in an appearance, no need trying to think of something to say or do. Just being there shares the burden. I speak from experience. My parents passed in their early 80s. Just the presence of all those who attended the funeral was enormous comfort to my heart even while I was too deep inside my grief to speak.
The ‘oriental’ piper you mention would be a Gurkha, a fierce, proud member of the British Army. Recruited in the Himalayas they have a long tradition of service in the army and very highly respected.
This is the one song I think of whenever I hear bagpipes, Although I'm not directly Scottish, my grandfather was, I am an australian with Scottish genetics, My last name even comes from Scotland. RIP to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the II
I am an American by birth, a Scotts/Irish & Eastern European Jewish by Ancestry but I have always loved British themed things. I absolutely love bagpipes and love how they were used to honor Queen Elizabeth II for one final send off. Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
@@daSeeshaupter and you should learn german, my dyslexic friend. if it's your first language. if not, my bad. ontopic .... wonderful goodbye to her majesty the queen. alba gu bràth.
I used to stay with friends, now gone, in a first floor flat, in the block between St Giles and Tron Kirk. Viewing this procession from their front window would have been sad in that any funeral procession is sad, but at the same time glorious! My ancestors, Ulster Scots have been in North America for six generations and lots of strife, but we still honor our Scottish roots.
As a Lowlander from a little village called Thornhill in Dumfries and Galloway, I Consider myself both British and Scottish. On this island that is our home, we have such wonderful cultures in Scotland, Wales, and England. It's these cultures that make Great Britain. We are so much greater together than apart.
I've always loved hearing Scotland the Brave on bagpipes. My late mother had a CD of bagpipe music she liked to play and I suppose it also partly reminds me of her. Why an American woman from El Salvador liked bagpipes I can't tell you, but I suppose that proves that it can appeal to all sorts of people!
As a Hong Kong citizen, although I am still a bit young, Hong Kong was a British colony before, so bagpipes are one of my favorite sounds, I often listen to them and may the queen rest in peace.
I’m probably one of a very small minority of Americans that loves bagpipes. I have CDs of pipe and drum bands. I think SCOTLAND THE BRAVE and THE SKYE BOAT SONG are beautiful.
My ancestors may have come from the UK, but even though I have been German for 9 or 11 generations, I feel a certain deep connection in the sounds of these bagpipes. She is and remains the Queen. The eternal Queen.

@@williamgoldsmith3796 And as for you, Mr Goldsmith, Scotland was not scared in 2014. The majority of the people living in Scotland (Scots living elsewhere were not allowed to vote!) voted for Scotland to remain in The Union. Not everyone in Scotland focuses on the financial benefits of being in the Union. Not everyone is a rabid Nationalist. Most of us just are happy to be British. Until nastiness/hatred was forced upon us by those now in power in Holyrood, this was the finest quarter of The Union. Of course I expect everyone else from the UK to offer a different opinion on that point 😉, but look at our flag 🇬🇧 - the blue bit's the best bit!
Proud American here. My family is of Scot-Irish decent. God rest your queen. This song always reminds me of my time in uniform. God love you my cousins.
Although not British, as a resident of Western North Carolina I have more than a little blood from the Scottish and Irish settlers of our region. Pipes and drums have the ability to stir the soul of anyone with a heart. As for Elizabeth II, God granted Great Britain one of the wisest and most impressive monarchs in the history of the Empire. May God grant her all the rewards that she deserves in Heaven!
I get the impression you think, as many Americans do, that British means only English. In fact Scots, English and Welsh are all British. By the way, the Queen was actually half Scottish. Her mother was the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, members of the Scottish aristocracy.
Carolina? I am Scottish but I have never heard of Carolina, is it a state, town, city? What country? I do have Scottish family that settled in Canada and a place called Virginia in the USA, Perth, Western Australia, New Zealand and South Africa so the Scottish Diaspora is really wide. I do know a lot of Scots went to the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
many people do not know that in spain in the north we have places where bagpipes are the traditional instruments there... spain is not only flamenco...i love them being my self from the north of spain, in a sense like in england, as scotland is in the north also...

Why do you dislike being part of the UK so much?
The UK was formed by Scottish King James VI in 1603. For the next 400 years, Scotland and England stuck together, the peasants suffered and the nobles kept us all in the mud.
As time has gone on, the lower classes of both countries fought hard to improve our standard of living, we now live in a democratic nation.
In 1997, Devolution was implemented to allow the smaller nations to govern themselves more effectively.
The decisions on who got to sit in the Scottish Parliament was then voted for by the people of Scotland.
Scottish Parliament are able to make decisions on Health and social care, Education and training, Local government, Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, Transport, Justice and policing and Sports and the Arts without Westminister.
Scotland has allocated seats in the Westminister Parliament so they can affect decisions on the entire UK.
In fact Scotland has 10% of the total seats, despite only representing 8% of the UK. (England has 82% of the seats, despite making up 85% of the total population).
We fought for each other during the wars and died side by side.
Some new enemies want us all to fail, and they want the union to collapse as it works to their benefit.
It helps them prove that democracy doesn't work, and that we can't talk to each other and make things work.
We might tease each other, but honestly I think most of the English have the uttmost respect for the Scottish.
This is our island home, we share it whether we like it or not.
I have always been proud of the UK, and what the nations have achieved together.
If a Scotsman said to me he didn't like me because I was an Englishman, I would laugh and see if he wants another pint.
I consider myself as British first, English second. As do my family and friends.
Personally, I will be sad to see Scotland go. But I think that government should only be by consent and if thats what the majority want then they should get it.
And I think independance is inevitable at this point.
I will just say though, Brexit was a disaster for the UK. The majority of the people decided to cut ties with our main trade partner.
We were all promised control and riches by the ruling politicians. We were told all the problems in the nation were the fault of the European parliament, despite how we had our own parliament at home controlling pretty much everything.
We were told we could make new trade deals with new partners who definitely wanted to buy our stuff and not rip us off with poor quality products.
But all we ended up doing is making things worse.
We cut ourselves out and neutered our international influence over the EU. Made ourselves weaker.
England is Scotlands biggest trading partner.
Now imagine the EU is the UK. And the UK is Scotland. Do you think Scottish Exit will go any different?

I grew up in New Zealand, and having Grandparents from Glasgow , we heard Scotland the brave many many times.
As part Scots and Irish the skirl of the pipes has always sent a shiver up my spine. I once encountered a lone piper pacing up and down in a small sun drenched clearing in a Chicago forest preserve near a bike path I was riding and to this day I'm not sure if what I saw was real or a ghost.
What were you smoking?
oh nah that was just me
Once long ago in Nacogdoches Texas when I was visiting I heard a piper piping the sun down. It was a sureal experience. We are American citizens now but, forever we are Scotts.

I'm from north east england my dad who was a Scotland fan it ran through his veins and always cycled with the youth anyways he always listened to the bag pipes and now I've inherited his love for them and when I hear flower of scotland and Scotland the brave i get goosebumps and my heart is filled with pride listening to you
Thanks so much for posting this it's beautiful. Negates the nonsense of Ginge and Whinge.
I only learned I was Scottish a few years ago, but something about bagpipes has always made me proper emotional!!
Wow, soo proud, soo right and soo beautiful!! And my god we can see exactly why the Queen fell in love with Scotland. Her journey from Balmoral just showed Scotland's beauty!!
Ich bin Deutscher , aber arbeitete von 1998 - 2014 bei den British Forces Germany in Hameln 28.Engr Rgt als Kraftfahrer 3 Jahre danach im GGS als ACW , war ne schöne Zeit schade das sie aus Deutschland abgezogen wurden . Aber dies hat mich geprägt was Bagpipes and Drums angeht . R.I.P Her Majesty
Mein Mann ist Deutsche, und er liebt die Bagpipes.
Fantastic. I miss my queen and boss. Very much god save the queen 😢😢
Love the little oriental piper done up in full regalia, kilt and all. Huge crowd turnout for the queen's passing. That is pleasing to see because each and every person present was a comfort to the bereaved. That is all it takes really, just making the effort to put in an appearance, no need trying to think of something to say or do. Just being there shares the burden. I speak from experience. My parents passed in their early 80s. Just the presence of all those who attended the funeral was enormous comfort to my heart even while I was too deep inside my grief to speak.
The ‘oriental’ piper you mention would be a Gurkha, a fierce, proud member of the British Army. Recruited in the Himalayas they have a long tradition of service in the army and very highly respected.
the most heartbreaking moment in this video for me is seeing princess anne coming out of st giles, she looks so pained with grief
Grief is hard enough as it is without the world's media watching your every move; even if the loved one is very old.
She did her mother proud! Never left her for a moment. God Bless.
This is the one song I think of whenever I hear bagpipes, Although I'm not directly Scottish, my grandfather was, I am an australian with Scottish genetics, My last name even comes from Scotland. RIP to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the II
I am an American by birth, a Scotts/Irish & Eastern European Jewish by Ancestry but I have always loved British themed things. I absolutely love bagpipes and love how they were used to honor Queen Elizabeth II for one final send off.
Rest In Peace Your Majesty.
Scots are not brits.
G-d Bless Queen Elisabeth...G-d Bless the King...never thought I'd see that day...
American here and I love this!
Welsh and British. I love my place and I love our place in the world. Must do it. Don't be weak.
So beautiful for the fierce and loyal monarch! 🏴🇬🇧 magical Queen Elizabeth 2 ♥️♥️
Look at how they sway and swagger, every one with a Skean Dhu dagger!
those pipers are amazing!.... that is an art form unto itself.
Brilliant. I am English, but I love the pipes.
I am English and I would like to comment on the pipers. Not only is the music very stirring the also look magnificent.
Hearing the bagpipes playing Scotland the brave makes me proud to be Scottish 🏴🏴
Ihr Schotten seit mir wesentlich sympathischer wie die Preußen
You have to love the jocks... fantastic.

You have got to love the Scottish

No you don't "got to".
Beautiful truly beautiful God Bless our Queen ❤❤❤😊. LK from Canada
My grandma loves Scotland and so do I, you lads did the Queen proud. From America.
May you forever Rest In Peace Your Majesty, you did well
I used to stay with friends, now gone, in a first floor flat, in the block between St Giles and Tron Kirk. Viewing this procession from their front window would have been sad in that any funeral procession is sad, but at the same time glorious! My ancestors, Ulster Scots have been in North America for six generations and lots of strife, but we still honor our Scottish roots.
As a Lowlander from a little village called Thornhill in Dumfries and Galloway, I Consider myself both British and Scottish. On this island that is our home, we have such wonderful cultures in Scotland, Wales, and England. It's these cultures that make Great Britain. We are so much greater together than apart.
One of the most beautiful of anthems. Thank you all.
You ether get it or not… imagine hearing this 200 years ago tilling a field dropping your plow and following the sound of destiny
Still the most wonderful Scottish anthem. So proud to be a quarter Scots. Bring it back, let’s celebrate our togetherness!
Oh how she LOVED Scotland!
While eating and almost cried reading the description
From Indonesia, Rest in Peace Queen,..
did anyone notice the military tribute to mad jack who carried nothing but a bow and sword to battle during the war
A once "Banned instrument" by the British Empire is now played front and center in respect at the death of the Queen.
Her Majesty’s mother was Scottish!
I've always loved hearing Scotland the Brave on bagpipes. My late mother had a CD of bagpipe music she liked to play and I suppose it also partly reminds me of her. Why an American woman from El Salvador liked bagpipes I can't tell you, but I suppose that proves that it can appeal to all sorts of people!
Respect from your Gallic brethren, the French.
Only the Bretons are Celts.
As a Hong Kong citizen, although I am still a bit young, Hong Kong was a British colony before, so bagpipes are one of my favorite sounds, I often listen to them and may the queen rest in peace.
Scotland you did the Queen proud
RIP Her Majesty. 😢
God Save the Queen.
Scotland the Brave always stirs my soul, and I’m from the US
East belfast ..Good night God bless you Mam..best send off ever...best people...best tune...best instruments...😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
The pipes. Once bitten forever smitten.
scotland loved the queen as we all did
I’m probably one of a very small minority of Americans that loves bagpipes. I have CDs of pipe and drum bands.
I think SCOTLAND THE BRAVE and THE SKYE BOAT SONG are beautiful.
I think more of us love the bagpipes than you think!
I'd imagine plenty of plastic paddies love that sort of thing.
@@unusedsub3003 raspberries to you
@@unusedsub3003 paddies?????
Ha! There are huge Celtic Festivals all over the US and Highland games too!
I'd argue Scotland was her favourite place in all the world....
My ancestors may have come from the UK, but even though I have been German for 9 or 11 generations, I feel a certain deep connection in the sounds of these bagpipes. She is and remains the Queen.
The eternal Queen.
Jawohl! 🇩🇪❤️🇬🇧

Irish, but the pipes always bring me pride. Cheers.
Scotland did herself proud to honor the Queen and shepherd her on her final journey.
What is the tune at 04:52 ? It did not seem to be part of "Scotland the Brave ".
Someone's comment: 'Tunes at the start are Highland Laddie and Scotland the Brave',...then Bonnie House Of Airlie and then one whose name I do not know' :-)
As a German, I am most impressed by such British traditions.
They are not Brits. They are Caledonians.
Whatever . Forgive a German not knowing the finer details.@@ianmacewan9416
Our Late Queen loved Scotland it was her home
I'm northumbrian. My grandfather was born in Glasgow. So I've got a deep love of my cousins North of the border. Did the Boss proud. Well done Scotland
Scotland, the Magnificent !!
Scotland the scared. Remember 2014.

@@northscot9862 You shame ALL Scots with that comment.
YOU are Scotland's shame!
@@williamgoldsmith3796 And as for you, Mr Goldsmith, Scotland was not scared in 2014.
The majority of the people living in Scotland (Scots living elsewhere were not allowed to vote!) voted for Scotland to remain in The Union.
Not everyone in Scotland focuses on the financial benefits of being in the Union.
Not everyone is a rabid Nationalist.
Most of us just are happy to be British. Until nastiness/hatred was forced upon us by those now in power in Holyrood, this was the finest quarter of The Union. Of course I expect everyone else from the UK to offer a different opinion on that point 😉, but look at our flag 🇬🇧 - the blue bit's the best bit!
Proud American here. My family is of Scot-Irish decent. God rest your queen. This song always reminds me of my time in uniform. God love you my cousins.
Rip your majesty from an American of Scottish heritage
Although not British, as a resident of Western North Carolina I have more than a little blood from the Scottish and Irish settlers of our region. Pipes and drums have the ability to stir the soul of anyone with a heart. As for Elizabeth II, God granted Great Britain one of the wisest and most impressive monarchs in the history of the Empire. May God grant her all the rewards that she deserves in Heaven!
I get the impression you think, as many Americans do, that British means only English. In fact Scots, English and Welsh are all British. By the way, the Queen was actually half Scottish. Her mother was the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore, members of the Scottish aristocracy.
Carolina? I am Scottish but I have never heard of Carolina, is it a state, town, city? What country?
I do have Scottish family that settled in Canada and a place called Virginia in the USA, Perth, Western Australia, New Zealand and South Africa so the Scottish Diaspora is really wide.
I do know a lot of Scots went to the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
There is no such thing as a god and Scots are NOT brits.
many people do not know that in spain in the north we have places where bagpipes are the traditional instruments there... spain is not only flamenco...i love them being my self from the north of spain, in a sense like in england, as scotland is in the north also...
Because they’re Celts as well!
