As an ex Serviceman, Remembrance Sunday and the poppy have always had a very heavy significance to me. My mum lost her youngest brother in 1944 fighting the Japanese - and his body never came home, and I know how much this ceremony meant to her. Thank you for your beautiful reaction ❤
We honour all war heroes who gave their lives so we can live in peace. Thank you for your great reaction. To those who gave their lives for our freedom over tyranny
It is still today a very marked day remembrance sunday . We all stop for 2 minutes and we remember them . People stop in the streets the shops etc and we remember . It is taught in our schools so the young will remember . And just like you every year I cry . Winston Churchill said, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" that was for the battle of britian . Its still very important to us . Thank you for you reaction ❤❤
In April 1923, Elizabeth Bowes Lyon married Prince Albert, Duke of York, who was later to become King George VI. After the ceremony, she laid her wedding bouquet on the tomb of the unknown warrior in memory of her brother Fergus who died at the battle of Loos. To this day, every royal bride lays her bouquet on the tomb.
I watch your video's all the time. I love watching your reactions. You don't just watch these for likes and subscribers, you genuinely want to learn, laugh and care. Keep them coming ❤
I love your reactions due to your energy and laugh. But this one was so emotive and personally upsetting for you. I cried when I first saw this. Sadness can be a powerful aid to understanding. Big love to yourself, family and friends.
Oh my dear, what a lovely person you are. It was a privilege to watch this with you. thank you. Every year , on the closest saturday to the 11th of this month The Royal British Legion holds a Festival of Remembrance at this same hall. Its broadcast on national tv and it highlights what our soldiers have done or are doing. There’s music, and stories and memories. Its very moving to see and is on YT if you wanted to take a peek. The following day, Sunday, is a National Remembrance Service at the very Cenotaph you saw unveiled in this reaction. The Royal Family, the Government and the people come together again to honour our fallen in heroes. Last year ten thousand veterans marched passed the cenotaph to honour their fallen comrades….. the oldest was 103 years old..
I am extremely grateful to all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, so I can enjoy the freedom I have today. I will remember them. I have the utmost respect for all fallen soldiers and for veterans, I thank you for everything. Like you i am in floods of tears, the playing of the last post always sets me off, but actually seeing the body returning to the United Kingdom was very moving, again like you i had no idea it was captured on camera. I'm glad it was. Thank you for such a heartfelt and honest reaction.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always known about the Unknown Warrior but never seen this before so I’m thank you. I too was crying. We will never forget them. 😢❤️
So glad you checked this out and thankyou for the heartfelt reaction.... If there's one thing we do well in the UK its rememberence day and respecting our fallen servicemen and women. Lest we forget.🇬🇧🇬🇧💐💐💂♂️💂♂️
Thank you for your honest, heartfelt reaction. It means a lot to me and many others. I'm a 25 year British Army Veteran. The inscription on the Tomb reads: BENEATH THIS STONE RESTS THE BODY OF A BRITISH WARRIOR UNKNOWN BY NAME OR RANK BROUGHT FROM FRANCE TO LIE AMONG THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OF THE LAND AND BURIED HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY 11 NOV: 1920, IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V HIS MINISTERS OF STATE THE CHIEFS OF HIS FORCES AND A VAST CONCOURSE OF THE NATION THUS ARE COMMEMORATED THE MANY MULTITUDES WHO DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1918 GAVE THE MOST THAT MAN CAN GIVE LIFE ITSELF FOR GOD FOR KING AND COUNTRY FOR LOVED ONES HOME AND EMPIRE FOR THE SACRED CAUSE OF JUSTICE AND THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD THEY BURIED HIM AMONG THE KINGS BECAUSE HE HAD DONE GOOD TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD HIS HOUSE
The history of the drum alter, or drumhead ceremony, is a military tradition that dates back to the 1700s: My dad was a Royal Marine in WW2 and a member of the Burma Star Association is a former service member or nurse who served in the Burma Campaign of World War II and was awarded the Burma Star or the Pacific Star with Burma Clasp. But he is gone now.Thank you young lady.
What it doesn't say on this video is the plaque that on top of the grave was made from bullets Thank you for your reaction to this and God bless you and your family Great reaction love from the UK
The troops who guarded and escorted the unknown warrior from the church to the ship were all French trips who showed great kindness and friendship that day. There was also a medieval sword on the coffin that once belonged to a knight who fought in the crusades. The unknown warrior was afforded a state funeral and all the soldiers who escorted him during his funeral would have served on the western front as well.
hey girl.im vet army medic, my brother is vet, parachute reg, my wifes father and two brothers, vet, my grandfather a vet of world war 2. he dropped in air bourne. he dropped at Arnham holland, lucky one to come home xxx
My Uncle married a lady who lost her first husband in the First World War . Tom Micheals Yorkshire Regiment . He was missing in Action . My family has had someone in the Armed Forces for the last 7 Generationd . My Father as a Leading Aircraft man in WW2 . The latest generation is also in the Yorkshire Regiment .
Following the first world war, Britain and France were the first countries to create a tomb of the unknown warrior - both internments taking place on 11/11/1920.
Please note that the Unknown Warrior was such an inspirational idea that both France and the USA interred their own Unknown Soldier/Warrior, to represent all those who fell. The French Unknown Soldier is buried under the Arc de Triumph in Paris. The US Unknown Soldier is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and guarded around the clock by Sentinels, specially trained soldiers who do not wear rank, as the rank of the Unknown Soldier is unknown, so they honour him by not wearing any.
You are such a loving and empathic woman, another point,all royal brides bouquets are sent to Westminster Abbey to be placed on the Unknown Grave. He represented every missing Son, Father, Brother and Uncle.💔💔 There is still a plaque to commemorate the unknown warrior on the platform.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (1872-1918) The poem memorializes the April 1915 battle in Belgium’s Ypres salient. For 17 days, McCrae tended those injured in the battle. Written after the death of a close friend, it was first published in Punch magazine and led to the adoption of the poppy as the Flower of Remembrance for the British and Commonwealth war dead.
The body of the unknown warrior was in utility van 132. The van's first passenger was Edith Cavell in 1919. She was the first civilian to be executed by the Germans in World War 1. Her crime was “helping the hostile Power or of causing harm to the German troops”. Edith was a nurse during the war, and she helped Allied soldiers to escape occupied Europe. On 12th October 1915 she was executed by firing squad. The outrage this caused around the world really surprised the German government. Edith became a propaganda tool to highlight the barbaric nature of the German Army. She also did something else, something far more mundane. Her name became synonymous with passenger luggage vans in Kent and East Sussex. For over half a century, these luggage vans were called ‘Cavells’ by those who worked on the trains. The second person to travel in this van was also the second British civilian to be executed by the German Army. Captain Charles Algernon Fryatt was the captain of the SS Brussels, a passenger ferry that ran between Harwich and Rotterdam, in neutral Holland. Sailing a merchant ship in British waters during the war was highly dangerous. The German government had announced that they would attack these ships without warning. Captain Fryatt’s ship was approached by a German submarine and ordered to stop. He decided not to, instead he commanded his crew to target the submarine at full speed. Therefore the unknown warrior was brought back in utility van 132. The van is preserved in a museum. 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.
Even now the grave of the Unknow Warrior is venerated! NO UK official ceremony touches that grave. King Charles at his corination walked around that grave coming and going! FYI British military protocol only allows a salute when standing and properly dressed, as in uniform and head piece! Saluting a senior officer while he is seated is required and will be acknowledged with a head bow!
I am an ex RAF officer 16 years in and period covered Falklands and Gulf War 1. Thank you for remembering I am going to give you a short video that I would reccommend you and your friend watch, It is the end of the Festival of Remembrance at the Albert Hall (ruclips.net/video/4Ed4xtDnrf0/видео.html) I defy anyone to watch this and not be moved
There is absolutely nothing happy about Remembrance Day, infact it's a solemn day for not only us British but our fellow commonwealth family such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and many other countries. We never ever say Happy Remembrance Day as it is very disrespectful to our heroic, beloved and remembered dead from WW1 to Afghanistan. It is not a time of celebration but a time to remember, give thanks and honour those military heroes from the UK, the Commonwealth and from other countries such as Poland, the old Czechoslovakia, the Republic of Ireland, Germany and other countries who wore British Military Uniforms and fought for the UK for Justice, Sovereignty and Freedom. I lost a Cousin that I never met from Northern Ireland and was a Radio Operator and Rear Gunner in the RAF Bomber Command. His Bomber was shot down over the city of Genoa in Italy where he parachuted out of his Bomber Plane but unfortunately his Parachute didn't open up at 15,000 feet and he just fell to the ground. His remains are buried at a British and Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Genoa, Italy with the rest of our heroic dead. His name was Flight Sergeant Michael Conway of 114 Squadron RAF. I have a copy of his death certificate with the Royal Crest and copy's of his medals also the Crest of his Squadron all on my wall in my living room. He is one of my heroes from my family with my late beloved Mum and Dad plus my cousin's from Northern Ireland who served in the British Army also in WW2. Those who serve in our military here in the UK, our incredible Veterans and those who gave there lives for my freedom and the sovereignty of my beloved UK mean the world to me as a supporter of our Armed Forces here in the UK. Those who serve and served and those who gave there lives I look up to and are the cream of my beloved UK. I tried to join the British Army but I was turned down as I have severe psoriasis and have had it since the age of 17 and I am now 60 years old. My dream as a child was to be a British Soldier but I never got to fulfil my dream. I had family that served in the British Army, the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🇮🇪🇮🇪

Its the only grave in Westminster Abbey that NO ONE is allowed to walk on, no Kings, no Brides, no one.
I don't think it's a law, but can't imagine anyone who would have access, to even consider showing such disrespect.
It's law @@Jamie_D
