I was ten when President Kennedy was assassinated. That pounding, rhythmic drumming and clattering horses hooves sounds will forever stick in my memory.
I was too young to remember JFK's assassination but my parents said the exact same that the sound of the drums and the clattering of the horses hooves were their strongest memory of his funeral.
I was about to turn three a week and half later after this funeral, i remember the pounding of the drums and the dark music "The Funeral March" and the president in his casket with the flag covered over is what i'll remember, nostolgic and overwhelming.
Wow. I was 3 and I remember it.. Well - I remember one thing that day. My mother picking up the phone at 3pm and it was my neighbor Ms. Cook and my mother replied. "The President has been shot!" I don't remember anything on TV or anything else. Other than my grandmother and his family was in the back yard when then. I was in the living room and my mother was in the dinning room.
Thank you for posting this video. I was 11 years old at the time and this funeral march by Chopin is one of the most vivid memories I have of that day. I have been watching many programs marking the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, and none have replayed this song. I'm glad to see it here.
Note the riderless horse following the caisson. His name was “Black Jack” and he gave the person leading him a lot of trouble due to his high spirits. I was 19 years old when this tragedy occurred and it’s something I can never forget.
Saddest day ever. I was 14 when President Kennedy was assassinated. I watched all of the programming associated with the event, had to, only three channels back in those days and they all covered it non-stop 24/7 This music has stuck with me all these years. I'll never forget those sad dark days, ever.
What a time in America! 60 years ago today Lee Harvey Oswald was gunned down by Jack Ruby. I missed it live because I was outside playing…I’d had enough of muffled drums and Chopin Funeral March! I know there was other stuff but to me as a kid that’s what seared in my mind
I am surprised no one ever answered your question. Its not that they were great. Its that they were men of peace. Lincoln, JFK, MLK, RFK, Gandhi, even Anwar Sadat were all proponents of peace. They were killed because the GLOBAL military-industrial complex aka deep state(s) do not want peace. Their motto; "Peace is not profitable."

I still wonder what spooked that riderless horse... .it was probably the emotions in the air.. Animals are very keen when it comes to that.. Anxiety and stress give off a different pharmone ..you smell your arm pits after a stressful situation even if you had a shower an hour ago.. Stress hormones.. And fear give off an odor.. When they say that dogs can smell fear.. It's completely true.. Either that or there was a horse in front of him he was after for a strange piece... JFK was a riderless horse always on the lookout for a strange piece of tail... LMAO.. I'm only joking... The guy is probably my favorite person to emulate.. And I don't think that's naive to believe that either.. As much as he knew what he was up against and knew that sometimes you just have to play ball with the others.. And you can't always have it your own way
The soldier who accompanied Black Jack was having a very difficult time and in an interview for the 50th anniversary of the assassination stated that several times the horse nearly got away from his grip. I also recall him saying that after all the ceremonies and he returned to his quarters that his arm was swollen.
One of the darkest moments in American history.
Yes this and 9/11
@@kasozar3800 You're right.
I love this version of Chopin's "Funeral March" really shows you how the country was feeling during those few tragic Nov days in 1963.

This happened about 39 years before I was born.
I agree. Still haunting.

Only the good die young
I had a feeling it was the end of an era as soon as i heard the news. When i saw oswald whacked on live tv i was sure of it.
Rest in peace dear JFK

The dirge brings it all back.

Same here at age 14 in Dallas.
I was ten..seems like yesterday..
I was not even born (about 39 years before I was born).

No lie can live forever -martin luther king-
why is it that the greatest men to walk on this world die young?

War is a business that makes hundreds and billions of dollars and peace doesn't
@@knightwatchmanTOO TRUE.👹
It can't help but make up lyrics of the song
The end of the world as we know it does not mean drastic physical change just a fait accompli that changes the game completely.
This march was also played at former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's funeral procession.

The poor black horse at the back is terrified.
