From England an I love Poland and it's people. We will always be grateful for what the Polish have brought to this country, despite what some people in the media portray. 🇬🇧🤝🇵🇱
I have seen HMS Queen Elizabeth. Great looking ship. Respect to all UK armed forces. Speaking as a former U.S. Naval officer who worked closely with RN and RAF units during my assignment to NATO in the 1970's, they are a very professional force and would gladly serve along side them again. God bless HMS Queen Elizabeth and all those who sail in her.

She is such an honorable, humble, and patriotic woman. Thank God for her and the moral support she offers the nation's warriors. Kathrine's "Requiem to a Soldier" always brings me to tears.
This song was one of Princess Diana's favorites. It was played both at her wedding and at her funeral. I'm here to listen to it because I learned about it when watching documentaries about her.
Look, we (americans) love you, Royal Navy. No U.S Carrier, even the great pacific war winning Yorktown, Hornet and Enterprise,were commissioned with such majesty. You guys and gals are the best. Best of Luck Queen Elizabeth. I hope your US planes are okay.
Oh double please. US Ships are still commissioned with a religious invocation and benediction and prior to the current sensitivities, often accompanied by the "The Navy Hymn" (Eternal Father, Strong to Save)-perhaps you've heard of it?
I got say this song always give you lump back of your throat and im lucky enough to say I was onboard the ship the ceremony also my father was in this video of her singing
@@polkanet No it's not, at all. Learnt something about the difference between the continental mindset and that of the British. They are worlds apart, because the British have a very different history.
I will have it at mine. A YORKSHIREMAN living in the Philippines.... you can take the man out of Yorkshire, but you will never take Yorkshire out of the man
I am an American have been wondering for quite sometime now what is your national anthem I believe it is God Save The Queen. But i do so love this I listen to it often. I know alot about your history in the UK cause our history came from yours. Our original anthem was My Country Tis Of Thee. Look it up. Same toon as God Save the Queen. Then Francis Scott Keys wrote the poem and someone else can't remember the name put the music to it and we now have the national anthem Walla!! We do have our marine hymes and Army and navy stuff can't remember them all. And my dad was a captain in the Army but nothing so strong as that beautiful song. I shall have to look it up to see who wrote it. I always merit the England for her strong History of ruling the world and the history of the Royal family. I admire your queen perhaps there is corruption or not. I love my own privacy.. should never had let that Harry dude marry that American.. Just my saying esp one from California they are crazy.. oh well Nancy be well love..
Beautiful lady singing a beautiful song god bless our service personnel and those of our allies united we stand (sorry you PC people but I'm a silly old fart who loves his country)
by hear her performance I could feel the greatness of Great Britain or Past day of Greatness of British Empire.. Well her voice an amazing.. she has very wonderful talent.. could make people listener goosebumps..
I was ships company and fell in on parade that day, she is beautiful in real life with a flawless voice. A great day in which I also met HM The Queen and had a chat!
Me too, including the verse that’s all too often left out (the one starting with “I heard my country calling away across the sea”), it was the collect hymn just before the vows and I chose it on these grounds: - about the concept of making a vow, which is what weddings are about - my husband’s family has military ties - it has been associated with weddings for the past 40 years owing to it being used at Prince Charles and Diana Spencer’s wedding
aaaht, thank you for your Naval service, Sir, you are a great American. Coming from a huge U.S. Navy family, I applied to OCS, and just missed acceptance.

Above all the present National anthem is like a prayer so it is nice by present National anthem we are.praying to god. We shud praise God not praise.the country if we praise God, God will make the country to praise by others
Would that this song should be adopted as a new patriotic anthem of the USA, especially as we recover from the selfishness of the previous administration. “ I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no questions, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.” These are words that a crude fool could never utter, but the utterance of them should be a requirement to hold high office in this country.
Long ago in the sixties you had a President who uttered similar word, Ask not what your Country can do for you but what you can do for your Country. Spoken by President J F Kennedy after taking the Oath of Office. I was in my early teens when I heard this on the radio. I have never heard inspirational words. From across the pond UK
I've been saying forever now that this should be the National Anthem, while God Save the King/Queen should remain the Royal Anthem. It makes so much sense.
1. I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love; The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. 2. .I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,[6] And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons. 3. And there's another country, I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King; Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

A sua fortaleza é um coração leal, e seu orgulho é o sofrimento
E silenciosamente, alma por alma, a luz dela cintila incessantemente
E suas estradas são de doçura e todos os seus destinos são a Paz* (placitude*)

This song could be applied to any country so i sing it here in America. Patriotism is universal or should be.
1.
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
2.
.I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,[6]
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
3.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
