How good was this format, so much better than today's woeful attempt. No idea why we need pop stars singing, when we want to see military bands and PE demonstrations.
I was so privileged to be a serving member of the Royal Navy marching down the stairs in this year, and also to be a member of the Royal navy contingent at the cenotaph
This brings back great memories for me being apart of the display team. When the poppies were released at the end of the show, representing lives lost in the conflicts past. They seemed to be falling forever. It was so moving. I will remember the experience for the rest of my life.
Thank you for this! It's striking how different this is from what the Festival has become. Much more focus on the military and less reliance on stars from the entertainment world. I'm not making a value judgement here, just an observation!
spot on
Yes, a complete absence of Kitsch then

Lovely to here the voice of Raymond Baxter OBE who served in the RAF flying Spitfires.
O Lord of Life hymn I have never heard but same tune as Eternal Father Strong to Save.
My Wife 4th in left row. Wow. she did it two yers in a row.
Thank you so much for this. I agree this is how it should be..... And it brought back some wonderful memories of my dad (ex Royal Marine 1925-1943), always marching in his armchair with 'A Life on the Ocean Wave'. I don't know--somehow this seems so much more innocent--sincere--?? Straightforward?? The time wasn't innocent, of course, as evidenced by the presence of the Royal Observer Corps, with their nuclear monitoring role.
That moment when the military personnel stood and turned to The Queen Mother when God Save The Queen came on gave me chills for a second. Do they still do that?
Yes
I was one of them in the central arena having just turned 18 years old (now 56) and still remember it to this day..

can not beat the cavalry last post and reveille !
I always love the reveille when me and Woody.EXE make our way to his Festival of Remembrance. My 2009 Woody, my dad and my sister, Princess of Wales were also there. Hopefully Mummy, Princess of Wales can make it this year because she didn’t make it for 2022 unfortunately, I hope all 6 of us will be there for Woody.EXE’s Festival of Remembrance 2023 because he’ll be gutted if Mummy doesn’t come

"break with tradition" 🙄
The Queen Mother does not sing the anthem... Looks like she thinks it was sung for her, not her daughter...!
no she didn't and she supported our late Queen
@@lsmith9249 I know she did, still she gives the impression this anthem is all for her. It is known nowadays that she did have problems not being "The" Queen any longer after her husband passed away...!
@@roccojoerg she always supported our late Queen and never gave the impression that our anthem was for her, in the early days after the King's death, it was bound to be difficult, she'd lost her husband and she had she was left with no position at all, a Dowager was retired
she asked our Queen's permission to carry on as a working royal
and Queen Consorts know the anthem isn't for them, it was for King George VI when he was alive and curtsied to the King when she was crowned
