- A tribute inspired by the faith and dedication of HM Queen Elizabeth II. This tribute video was inspired by Sir Winston's Funeral, played to 'I Vow to Thee My Country'. This can be watched here:
• Sir Winston Churchill ...
Thank you all for your very kind words and reflections, they really do mean a lot. I am astonished how many views the video has received in a space of a day, thank you all!
Thank you for this perfect remembrance of the honor rightly bestowed upon this legendary monarch by the entire world. She was a rock of sanity in an ever perilous time. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧❤️
This compilation was exquisite and perfect in every way. Even many of us in the USA loved her, her speeches always gave me the comfort and solace our own leaders could never dream of. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to her! ❤
@@anniespassion1093I am also from the states and I totally agree.
A very beautiful and moving tribute to Her Majesty, set to one of the most expressive pieces of music. Thank you. Long live the King.
This is truly beautiful. Thank you.
“Grief is the price we pay for love.”
-Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)
👑❤🌹🕊🙏😔
Indeed so
I love Queen Elizabeth II 😢😢😢💖
Still hurts
@@LtD973 Very. I started watching and cried again. 😢
Never in history has someone kept their vow to their country as faithfully as Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
I will never forget Her Majesty sitting on her own at her husbands funeral. Never!
Tell me about it I think it will stay in a lot of peoples minds. Xx
Heartbreaking.
Me neither, She was our Shining Light and was always there for us as will the King.
As always, leading by example.

Rewatching in 2024 and still brings a tear to my eye. The perfect monarch with such dignity and grace. A huge loss. X
God save the Queen
I agree. It's just in her DNA to be queen.
The greatest monarch tht will ever be❤
Then we get Charles 😮
@@marionhicks5924🤣👍
In some sense she was the perfect monarch. Reserved and dignified yet with a profound warmth. She was a cultural center point for the entire Commonwealth. God Save the Queen!
Couldn’t have put this any better.
My favourite monarch. I suspect she was the favourite monarch of many people around the world. Truly wonderful lady.
The perfect monarch of this era in which monarchs are just flower vases and simbols and it's more important the protocol than any other thing. But if you go to the past, when kings led nations there's no colour.
She placed duty above herself, above anything else.
WELL SAID!❣
"I Vow to Thee My Country" was the Queen's essence, and the hymn embodies her lifelong service.
Yet, it wasn't played at any of her funeral services.
@@BucyKalman Fun fact: It was played at Baroness Thatcher's funeral with the Queen and Prince Philip in attendance: ruclips.net/video/Prg-KwqPYQs/видео.html
She understood what public service should be and dedicated her life to doing it well. We miss you, Queen Elizabeth.
Can anything more truthful be said? No
@@BucyKalman It kind of didn't need to be said....the music reminded us of what had been achieved. Sounds odd, I know, but to me the fist notes reminded me of what she had achieved.What a lady!
How can the world not give her full honors. She literally served until the day before she died. Never ever complained. A giant among men and women.
*Honours.
Whenever I hear this now, no matter where I am, no matter what I am doing, my eyes fill with tears and my thoughts turn again to the memory of my departed Queen. Queen Elizabeth, to me, was the essence of who we are as a nation , and upon the day of her death, we not only lost our beloved Queen, but, we lost a little of ourselves that we will never see again.
I am a New Zealander ...she was my Queen too. Thank you Ma'am for everything.
I am a Dutchman, and even though it wasn't my queen, she and her country has meant a lot for us during her lifetime and before.
I'm a missing royal family member that went missing 34 years ago at the age of four as they were getting rid of me the beat me chloroformed me and took off my robes and my crown put me in my car drugged they're onto a plane this was a back cover up in the 80s.they took me to Primary School in Midlothian Scotland were thay arrived at the primary school drugged and bruised from The Journey I was heated because of my title you see they had put the land of the Commonwealth the Windsor Estate and over 14 trillion in my true name that Primary School swapped me around with a common boy I was drugged knocked out when they woke up I was in a classroom Primary School class they will ask him my name the teacher told them I just looked different but the boy they swapped me round with looks my double back then if you're looking at my pictures I've been awake for the last for the last 29 days for the last five years they've been doing this to me on and off with electronic Warfare they have money then they found my birth certificate no they know what is on my birth certificate my full Estate the Windsor Estate and the Commonwealth the Crown Jewels two of the largest diamonds on Earth is in my true name but the Prince of Wales pretty much a commoner not even a lane under his name on his birth certificate have there ever mentioned his second name nor because it isn't Windsor William and Harry have the same problem you see William can't even give Kate his second name so how can you call George a king of his second name can't even be Windsor Me and My True mum and my True father are the only ones with the second Windsor name the family has been torturing me with electronic Warfare I have caught them on occasion with electronic equipment getting in and out of Land Rovers I can't wait to hang people since it's been five years they have been doing this to me to try and get me to kill myself so my mother or father can claim my Estate but you can't clear Kings Estate of the King dies the estate dies alone with them but you see ask the so-called royal family or the so-called king and queen Camilla for a loan she can't he can't but I can give you tax free living for land holders country houses rent for you as well the people that helped me will be multi billionaires all this all the things you hear about the lunar night about wine with the grapes from the vein all comes from my head always scientific stuff comes from my head too use all my ideas yet the trying to kill me just remember the Commonwealth is in my name along with the Windsor Estate and well over 14 trillion please help me as I am tired of being treated like something someone stood on
What do you mean thank you for everything?? What's she actually done??
I think representing her realms with such grace and dignity for many many years never retiring and working until a very old age having the duty of going to many events every year is a hard work if you ask me
@@Secretorder13 There's a level of ignorance in people like you that really does need correction. "What's she actually done??". She's hosted dictators and bores at the will of the state trying to make international deals to earn money to pay for YOUR free healthcare, justice system and welfare state and done it with grace and dignity, bolstering relationships in a way that politicians cannot. She's shaken millions of hands, walked miles in all weathers to do so. Greeted the rich, the poor and everyone in between without making distinction between them in how much time was given, and interest shown. Sat through thousands of performances of school children, choirs, bands, music events, charitable evenings for the Arts. Turned up regardless of whether she was healthy or unwell - how many 95+ women would stand on a balcony while they're actively dying in great pain, simply to show her people that she had gratitude for them turning up to cheer on her Jubilee? Let's compare that to what we've seen you do, shall we? Come and post on social media while you appear to be stuck in the Middle Ages dreaming of glory. Who's the one who hasn't done anything, much less for their country.
As a Dutchman, it was an honor for my monarchs to stand opposite of the casket of Her Majesty and the Royal Family. I hope the bond between our two nations remains strong in the future 🇳🇱🇬🇧
My thought exactly
I have visited the Netherlands on numerous occasions and have great respect for it's people. We may not be in the EU anymore but the bonds remain.
Ich bin sehr traurig das die König gestorben ist
It was marvellous to see them there
That last picture just reduces me to tears.
that picture of the queen sitting all alone at Philip’s funeral breaks my heart😢
Don't cry because she has gone
Be happy for she was here!
One has to hand it to the British. They have the best ceremonies and pageantry in the world. HMTQ was absolutely regal, dutiful, compassionate and dedicated to God and her country. There will never be another like her. Many of us feel like we lost another mother. How privileged I was to be born when her reign began.
🙏🌷💝 A privilege for me as well. Dob 4/1958 Bless you. 🇬🇧
Very well said
Hi Kathryn, as I have always said about us Brits - we may not be universally liked (fair enough) but no one comes close when we put on a state occasion like this...
And for me, I was age 2 when she was crowned. I have a picture of my family all dressed up for the occasion which is a piece of our history
@@stc40 I have gotten up at 4 am on many an occasion to catch weddings, funerals, investitures, jubilees, and lately the coronation. I love all things British!!😍
I was born in 1952 when the old king died. I have a photo of my beloved dad holding me at an east London Street party for the queen's coronation the next year. A treasured possession. Elizabeth the second was not just the queen , she was our queen in all our hearts.
👍👍👍
I was born the same year about a month after the king died. Therefore like you I have known no other monarch until now. A great loss but a great queen.
The only other that can match HRM status for being most loved as the Queen of Peoples Hearts ‘Internationally’ is The Late Princess Diana…
I am from Hong Kong - many of us queued for up to 6 hours just to sign on the book of condolences at the UK Counsulate office in Hong Kong. We will miss the Queen dearly.
I wish it was still the Governor's Office and not the "UK Consulate". Hong Kong will always be a British Overseas Territory to me, not a so-called "Special Administrative Region" of Communist-occupied Mainland China. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
@@rwboa22 So well said.
@@rwboa22Yep you wish
Lest we forget, this amazing woman was also a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. It must have been so difficult for her loved ones to have to grieve so publicly. The Princess Royal was the epitome of grace and strength, accompanying her Mother throughout.
Yes, Anne, magnificent. From the same mould.
@@jasonneedham6734she would’ve made a great queen
Pity she had little chance to become our Queen
The motorbike police with their heads bowed gets me every time
I'm touched by the farmers with their machinery lined up along the road, the riders with horses, and her own pony and the corgis waiting to say goodbye. Many touching images.
I served her In the Parachute Regiment for 28yrs, and it was a pleasure. To us, The Queen was simply, aptly named, The Boss. This tribute is so fitting for someone that served a nation for 70yrs.
Thankyou Hupra.
Thank you for your service sir
Although I am a 71 American , I feel as though I have lost my mother, again . She was a wonderful woman . My prayers continue for King Charles lll, his family and Great Britain.
Same here.
And here.
The last photograph ever taken of her is so beautiful-her warmth radiance and beauty just shine from her
Two weeks later and still utterly heartbroken. Her majesty was irreplaceable and it will take Britain a long time to get over losing her. Beautiful video I might add. A very appropriate hymn. Nobody could better be linked with the title 'I Vow to Thee my Country' more than our late Queen. We were privileged to have her. The monarchy will never die.1000 years from now her legend will be spoken of. The greatest monarch this kingdom has ever seen. I am honoured to have been one of her people. I will never forget her. Proud to be a royalist. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. God rest the Queen. God save the King
Also played at the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral. Flowers of the Forest was the lone piper at his funeral which was also played at the Queen service but her lone piper played A Salute to the Royal Fendersmith
Well said Mark.
I'm still heartbroken too. I think I have got over it, but then RUclips recommends some recent videos about the Queen or the new King and I get upset again. I've just been in Sainsburys looking at the magazines. They all have beautiful photos of the Queen on their covers. So many reminders.
I'm back in tears after watching this sad but beautiful video.
Still weeping as well. She was Queen all my lifetime. I doubt I will see anything the match of her again, not in my time.
I'm German, but in my heart she was my queen, too.
Her personality and what she did for my country will never be forgotten.
Thank you so much, Ma'am!
In a sense, she was queen of the whole world. Even outside Britain and the Commonwealth realms, she was known to many as simply "the queen," and if you said that, people knew immediately which queen you were talking about. I don't know if Charles will be known as "the king" to as many people, but it just goes to show you how widely admired the British royals are compared to all the other surviving royal and imperial families in the world.
As a Black American I admired her and her grandmother Queen Mary....She was my queen too.
Just remember that most of her recent ancestry is that of both Germany (specifically the Hanover and Saxe-Coburg & Gotha dynasties) as well as Danish (Christian IX of Denmark). Through the Hanovers you have the Stuart, Tudor, Lancaster, York, and Plantagenet ancestries, while through her mother (the Bowes-Lyon Family) you have the ancestry of Robert the Bruce, King of the Scots. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, because of Philip's Danish (also from Christian IX of Denmark) and Russian ancestry (from a granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas I) that they now have the ancestries of several dynastic lines, whether either from the original line or from cadet branches.
Hello Christiane, how are you doing today?
Until her death I hadn’t understood how many German people really appreciated her leadership in forgiveness and reconciliation. Thanks you from a friendly Brit
How very sad I was that day Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth passed this life , how i truly admire and will never forget her strength and love she had for her country and duty for her people.
I am a Kenyan but on hearing the news of her majesty the Queen's passing I was at loss of words.
I love this hymn. Listening to this song and watching to the events that took place on those days made me tear. It gives one the thought that the Queen had vowed to serve her country and and kept her word. She is an example who future leaders can emulate Britain and the Commonwealth are mourning the passing of a great mornach who kept her word by serving the British and the Commonwealth. Thank you for the video. God rest the Queen 🇬🇧. God save the King.
Its nice to remember Her Majestys Reign startet in Kenya
I am a Catalan, and I am moved to tears watching this video and when I think of the effort Elizabeth made to help all the countries of the Empire achieve independence, most in peace, and how she maintained her dignity in the face of all the idiotic tabloids... Long live Kenya, my friend!
The resolute selflessness, the walking epitome of duty, the stoic and unwavering dedication to the people, the allegiance to a purpose of uniting a nation rather than dividing it, the backbone of our country, the unrelenting bravery in the face of adversity after adversity. You were the revered sovereign, woman and icon. May you truly rest in peace, your Majesty, the impact of your reign will endure for eternity.
Beautifully said
Amen, amen, amen.
You said everything I could not say because I do not have the words. Thankyou! X
@@ladycatfern
The people will always remember👸Queen Elizabeth ll devotion to the UK🇬🇧 🇺🇸
American here and just any mention of the UK. She came to mind first. She was and will always be the United Kingdom to me. She will be the Queen forever in my book. Say what you will. She was strong tough lady. She loved her country. She gave her life. No family is perfect. A grandmother she was and she held the family together. She was the glue that held a nation. Bless her heart. May she be in peace. God bless. The last two photos at the end made me tear up. It reminded me of my own late grandmother.
Very well said, Sir.
Dont be emo
I’m American, but have the upmost respect for Queen Elizabeth II! She in my opinion was one of the UK best monarch ever! This video was truly touching! The song and the clips were a perfect tribute to her. I’m honestly wiping tears! RIP Queen
She failed in her duty to protect the UK from it's enemies. In case you didn't know the UK is in ruins and is close to collapse. This happened on HER watch. Contrary to popular belief, she wasn't a mere ceremonial figure she was a political head of state.
@@seansmith445 With all do respect, if you have all of these neg feelings about her, why bother watching this video! This video is to honor her memory, not a smear campaign.
@@seansmith445 And as that figurehead and role as head of state she delegated her power to the government to run the country - and gives us the power to choose what goverment we want. I am sure if she took a direct hand in running this country you and your ilk would be the first human skidmarks screeching about 'how dare our unelected head of state get involved! It's not her job! we can't vote her out!' ect ect bsbsbs.
Because you little turd urchins are never happy are you?
@@seansmith445 No that is because of the government we have the queen did not have as many powers as you think she had Are country is in the mess it’s in because of greedy selfish governments
@@seansmith445 In case you hadn't heard, Queen Elizabeth II, as Head of State, wasn't the one actually running the country for the last 70 years. Take it up with the various PMs and Parliament. Try a civics night class.
This is called respect. AMERICANS NEED TO LEARN THIS!! I AM NOT SURE WE CAN!! Thank you, Queen Elizabeth.
I'm not even British and I cried when the news came out. She will forever be known as ELIZABETH THE GREAT. RIP Queen. 💔
So I, i am italian, but I loved her very much
I cried and sat in shock
I meet her twice
She so reminded me of my own late grandmother another Elizabeth
For the period of mourning the people of UK were the best I've seen in my 42 years, the togetherness, the grief, the respect was unprecedented.
And our armed forces on the day of the funeral and beforehand were just immense, so many young people making us all so, so proud. Something we easily forget in this crazy fast paced world we live.
That your Majesty, it is your legacy - something very few can ever repeat. Thank you and may God rest your wonderful sole.
I agree. All we seem to see now is difference of opinion and conflict between ourselves, but for this one time, we were all together, feeling the same thing.
What a lovely fine example of women / queen she was. It makes it virtually impossible to take her place.
I look at the scenario we have today, I am very sorry I cannot see it in the same light " but " when you have such a fine example to follow , it is virtually impossible to follow..
God bless the queen, what a lovely family leader & Monarch we had the experience of witnessing in our life time. " God bless the Queen "
She was my Queen also.
She was the monarch of many in this world.
R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth ll you will never be forgotten.
A fitting tribute to a Monarch who made a vow as a young 25 year old and kept that vow until the day she went forth to the Heavens. We would all be better off if we followed her dedication to others, faith and a sense of duty.
God Save the King
fight fan, The late Queen was a young 21 year-old young lady when she made that vow.
@@geraldinetalley3664 And kept it faithfully until she breathed her last. Life goes on but a little piece of Britain died with her I think. God Save the King.
Of course I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments. I do think it's an error on the part of the uploader not to involve the Scottish part of the events to honour our late queen
@@sjr250381 The Scottish events were amazing. Truly, I believe you treated our late monarch with the utmost respect . I thank you from the bottom of my heart. x
I am Australian, and proud of our heritage within the Commonwealth. With the passing of our Queen, we have lost our people's matriarch. We now look to our King as the father of our nation. This was a most touching tribute.
Thank you for that lovely tribute. God bless you.
I am Australian and likewise grateful for the wonderful cultural ties we share with Britain.
Australians are British
Besides the official representatives from Australia, it warmed my heart that all holders of the VC were invited, and given primary seating within the Abbey.
From the legendary Keith Payne to Ben Roberts-Smith, we thank you for honouring HMTQ.
I too feel honoured to be part of this wonderful Elizabethan age. God bless her late gracious Majesty. May she rest in peace and rise in glory 💔🙏
That salute that William makes...❤
Yep. 💔🇬🇧
I’m American, and I too love Her Majesty. She is sorely missed.
The most noblest woman to EVER LIVE on this world. We will never see a woman like her for another 200 years. IF this world is lucky enough to have one like her again.
Like another person said quoting her majesty Elizabeth there " grief is the price you pay for love"
I agree HMTQ Elizabeth the Second wad class and grace personified. Noble is how she lived her life, in the real sense. But don’t be so pessimistic, women as noble and dignified as HM come every 80 years or so, same with men. Those who give up their life for a burden they had to take on. God bless her and all those that love her.
What saddens me is the possibility that this might be repeated a year or two from now. Pray for His Majesty to have a speedy recovery and a long reign.
I truly hope Charles gets his chance at a lengthy reign. And that would enable William to get his children raised.
Yes. Quite right. God save the King!
I'm a French but she was my Queen. Her Majesty stills be there in our hearts. God bless you Ma'am.
Mais il me semble qu'elle était aussi la Reine de la France ( symboliquement.) Sa Majesté était francophile et aimait beaucoup la France.
I am German and I loved Her Majesty The Queen so much! May Her Majesty rest in God‘s eternal piece - she will never be forgotten! 😢🙏🏻❤
Well she was German
@@barryjatkinson Partially in her ancestry.
Royalty is just wrong though isn't it? How can you justify it continuing?
@@barryjatkinson It's not wrong when their role is purely symbolic like it is in Britain. If we were talking about an absolute monarch, then that is wrong, but constitutional monarchies are entirely democratic except for the head of state.
@@hotwax9376 QE was not as removed from running the country as you might think. She approved/vetoed many bills before they even ended up in parliament… not symbolic at all but actively dipping into the running of the country.
I was part of it. We queued for 14.5 hrs to pay our respects in Westminster Hall but I'm so glad and proud we've done it.
Rest in peace, Ma'am, and THANK YOU - for everything ❤️
How many times can I watch this! Forever. 😞🏴🏴
When i heard the news i was on my way to scotland with a load. Heard the news and cried all the way up. Big trucker crying. She wasn't just our Queen. She was the world's Queen.. she made a vow to this country and seen it out. One of the worst days of my life. Still brings me to tears losing my Queen. Rip my queen
This darn song (and especially this particular version of it) always gets me to tear up...
Me too Dave.......and even here in Australia. It never fails.
Les Griffiths
It is the same version played at Churchill's funeral......and when the cranes were lowered, as the barge went down the Thames,........ Les Griffiths
This is the one piece of music that reminds me I’m English and that I’m damn proud to be. 🏴🇬🇧
@@twyscapeAs an Australian I'm not English......but I am British.....and that's close enough.
Les Griffiths
@@lesgriffiths8523 in fact, when the colors were lowered when the gun carriage went past them, the first thing I thought of was the RUclips video of Churchill's funeral when the cranes were lowered when his coffin went past.
What a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful Lady. I'm an American and I love the honor and dignity of the British people. I felt so much sorrow for Charles. The sadness showed in his face, saying good bye to him mom...I've been there and know what he's feeling.
I'm Brazilian, but I've always liked the British royal family. I remember the shock of the Queen Mother's death 20 years ago. The Queen Mother was almost 102 years old, but she was so strong, she was in good health, no one expected her to die soon. Now, his daughter Queen Elizabeth dies aged 96. It also took everyone by surprise even more. How lovely was this sweet queen. I thought she was going to live more than 100 years, but time and the unforeseen always happen. My condolences to the British people....
Just watched this, beautiful music plus the images of our great Queen. One year on still brings me to tears. Has it gone by so quickly we still miss her.
This was so beautifully done. Many of us here in the states admired and respected the late Queen. She was the only Queen many of us knew. May her life and contributions to the Commonwealth be remembered with much love and affection. May her heir and family receive love and support, and may her soul rest in eternal peace.
This is the PERFECT song to put to this montage. Props for this! Even as an American, it brings a tear to my eye.
It’s not a song it’s a hymn.
A very English Hymn...
My dad passed the same year as the Queen in Christmas Eve 2022. This tune reminds me of him. I miss him so much 😢😢😢 take care of him Elizabeth xx
What an emotional tribute to The Queen. I Vow To Thee, My Country should defo be the national anthem of the United Kingdom.
I still cannot believe she is gone. She was a stabilizing force in our world and takes with her the refinement and dignity that was not only hers, but also that generation ❤️ Our loss but Heaven’s gain. Truly.❤
Without a doubt she was the best of Great Britain, all her people and those of her ancestors. Humble, gracious, strong and wise. May she now rest with her beloved and her Lord.
👑❤🌹🕊🙏😔
@@gg79139 👑❤🌹🕊🙏😔
A generation of which we will never see again.🌍
Was heading up Scotland to east kilbride in the lorry when I heard. This big Welsh man was in tears driving. She reminded me so much of my gran and what she stood up too and stood for. Was like loosing her all over again. Still can't believe she has gone. She was a constance through so many years. She went everywhere you did along as you as everyone had a penny in there pocket. One of the last to have gone through the second world war. God bless her.
4 months later still brings tears to my eyes. You are sorely missed, Your Majesty. Thank you for sharing. Beautifully edited. I shall save this. Rest in Peace Ma’am. Queen Elizabeth II, The Great 😢❤️
She's been my queen my entire life, thats 63 years. It's hard to believe she's gone
I still myself tearing up every time I think of her, truly special in every sense of the word. This a beautiful tribute to Her Majesty … Paddington said it best “thank you Ma’am … for everything.” ❤
Even now it breaks my heart to see this tribute to HH Queen Elizabeth.. So fitting and so moving.. The British and its Armed Forces did her proud.. As she made us Proud.. God bless you Elizabeth..
In my opinion the best monarches we've ever had are women.. Queen Elizabeth I.. Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II.
The look of anguish and grief on Charles face at 4:15 was heart wrenching and sad. I’m not much of a fan of him or Camilla, but for that moment, I felt sympathy for him as a son who lost his mother. There is a human side to Charles and he showed that he has feelings and emotions like all of us.
Yes I agree totally, what looks like such honesty and deep rooted feelings. God bless his time as Monarch.Xx
@@carolecpower7429 God Save The King.
He went through the loss of first his father, then his mother, in a little over a year. Having to put on a brave face publicly after the deaths of your parents has to be difficult.
I love Princess Anne. She quietly serves her nation. She looks amazing in her uniform. She really carries it off!
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
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 (we may not count her armies)
We may (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
I Vow to Thee, My Country is a poem by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, which took its present form in early 1918. The setting was made in 1921 by Gustav Holst with a melody that he had borrowed from the "Jupiter movement" in his suite The Planets. Since then, I Vow to Thee, My Country has been both a patriotic British song and an anthem in the Anglican communion.

And she did all of it she was ill and probably knew she was dying and still forced herself out of her bed to ask liz truss to become prime minister 2 days before wouldn't let anyone else do it as she declared she would serve her country until she drew her last breath and she did and done it well and proud may you rest in peace your majesty 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you
I am Indonesian, and I adore her somuch and she'll be missed. The greatest woman God had anointed.
I've watched the video quite a few times. I struggle to fight back the tears.
I vow to me my country. My god she did and so much more. There's such a great saying. You don't no what you've got till it's gone. RIP mam x
That plane coming into land bringing our wonderful queen home sets me off in tears ever time 😢 how lucky we have been to have this special lady in our lives ( all my 70 years) there will never be such a wonderful lady like her again. Thank you your majesty you will be greatly missed 😢😢
A very beautiful tribute to our Queen,RIP
Was saddened to see this fitting hymn not used in ceremony, thank you sir for this fantastic tribute to her majesty
I think may be Diana used it at her funeral arrangements as she liked this song
@@davelawrence8627 yes Diana did!
Yes they tend not to reuse song arrangements that have been played previously at other royal events I’ve noticed ,the pipers generally use different tunes that the royals liked and not what
Necessarily we want to here all the time ha !
@@davelawrence8627 Yes, I thought the same thing, that possibly it wasn't used in Queen Elizabeth's funeral as it was part of Diana's.
Let alone the Last Post that was played at Westminster Abbey not being the same as that played by the RM Buglers at Prince Philip's funeral.
As a Filipino, the late Queen was an inspiration of public duty. She has touched so many lives and I am forever grateful to have been born during her magnificent reign.
A huge loss to not just the UK and Commonwealth, but the world.
A beautiful piece of music and film capturing the huge effect of Queen Elizabeth's loss!
Forever in our hearts!
RIP Queen Elizabeth II ! xx
As an American I admit that this song and your video brings tears to my eyes..
This hymn epitomises her as much as Churchill. She did her duty as was expected of her. Long live the king.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ii will forever be honoured and remembered for her dignity, warmth, commitment to her country and fulfillment of her duties, deep faith and so many other attributes one can ascribe to this remarkable woman and monarch. Her Majesty was beloved by the British people, those in the commonwealth and by millions of others worldwide and rightly so. Her Majesty was a seamless thread of continuity of tradition, linking and uniting the British people and Commonwealth together for over seven decades from one century into the next.
God bless Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ii.
👩🏻💻Thank you. I thought I could get through this video without tearing up, it is not to be. I miss Queen Elizabeth II. I will always reflect upon Her memory as one of the greatest world leader ever to live. The Queen will always live in my heart. Love from an American Cousin.🙋♀️😘🥰
Magnificent tribute to an extraordinary woman. There will never be anyone like her again. RIP
Seems very surreal when realising Her Majesty is no longer with us. As many have said, she’s been the only monarch most of us have ever known. To now not have her, seems as if we’ve lost part of what makes our nation, our Commonwealth great.
Her Majesty modernised the monarchy greatly. I’m not a particularly religious person, however the queen’s faith is inspiring.
May God take care of the Queen. Long Live the King, and may our great Commonwealth continue to prosper.
Every time I watch this video it gets me. Every damned time. Thank you!!
Le règne le plus long de l'histoire, merci pour ce partage .Une très très grande dame s'en est allé 💐💐🙏🙏🙏
Oh my God.. the first time I have cried.. My favourite hymn from school all those years ago.. lived in Canada since 1988. I am 61 now
This is the most beautiful snapshot of the Queen's funeral I have seen, and I have viewed quite a few. Your juxtaposition of the most spectacular and sorrowful moments alongside each other balanced perfectly, along with music that is so poignant. I will frankly admit that you made me cry when you summed up her life with those fabulous photos. I had forgotten what a beautiful and elegant woman she was when young. A superb video. Thank you.
I live in America but am British. I cried for two weeks. I've never known anyone else but Queen Elizabeth as head of the RF. The coverage was superb and my husband and I were glued to the TV watching the coverage. It was so well planned and not a wrong step anywhere. The prescience pf George and Charolette was wonderful. So well behaved children what had to been a long day.
An amazing tribute to a beautiful Queen. Rest in peace
I was hoping someone would make one similar to the Churchill video. Gives me goosebumps!! Thank you
Much like the cranes being lowered along the Thames for Sir Winston, the footage of HM's funeral included the lowering of the standards when the gun carriage went past, thus even this video included everything.
A similar tribute for Churchill on that theme, look for Churchill funeral
They had to pay the drivers to lower those cranes - Churchill wasn't exactly popular with them. Apart from anything else he'd ordered that the Underground stations be kept locked. He thought "hiding" in them was tantamount to cowardice. The Londoners broke in, so the underground became an official bomb shelter. If it hadn't the result would have been like Dresden. Churchill was the right man for the job at the time, but he was a Tory and Atlee held the coalition together. The Queen was, to use an understatement, more popular. Churchill had been against female suffrage, but the Queen made sure females were well represented at her funeral e.g. the four mounted policewomen leading.
Thank you so much for this video. So many memories. Somehow, the most touching thing for me was when the car came into London in the dark, and the people were lining the streets, cheering for her. Everyone loved her so !
This was beautiful... long live the every loving memory of Her Majesty.
The loss of this great lady is very sad and painful and nothing less than the loss of your dearest, whether your father, mother or dear friend. In fact, she is not only the queen of Britain, she is the queen of hearts as well. Rest in peace Elizabeth II ❤❤🇬🇧❤❤👑👑
6 months on this still makes me cry.
What a perfect tribute. It’s just like HM. It was dignified, traditional, and communicated a view of a life of legendary service and commitment that those of us now living are not likely to ever see again.
She was a beautiful lady I'm sitting here in my bed in Canada crying my heart God knows how you'are all feeling a young girl that I promise she could save her country but she did and known no one can take it away from her rest in peace your majesty with your husband Prince Philip and God bless on your family here on Earth. 🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦🌹
HM The Queen was Simply an Amazing Awesome Head of State , Full of Grace, Duty, and Beauty, She was the embodiment of, Wisdom and Integrity. May Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest, in to The Boundless Arms of The Beloved.
Can't watch this without crying still. The late Queen shared her birthday with my father, who was one year her junior. . He died some 8 years ago. I loved the British queen dearly. I was on 5he way to a family visit when I heard about her death. As the drive was tumultuous, I'll never forget what kind of day this was
You find yourself revisiting this, phenomenal, such brilliance in everything, and so very much loved ❤🏴🇬🇧❤
Just found this video thank you so much for showing it I still cannot believe the Queen is gone thank you Ma'am for everything💕💕💕👏👏👏🇬🇧
So beautiful and heart-touching! How we miss our Queen! Through my father's genealogy research, I discovered she was my 11th cousin! ❤ I'm very humbled and honored to be related to her and to almost every member of the family. The struggles, wars, alliances, good/bad times that they've gone through, just as we have are numerable. She led by example. We can all learn from her, no matter who we are! May the Lord bless each of you that are resding this! ❤
You did an absolutely fantastic job on this!! Very touching. Very fitting of the Queen.
A beautiful snap shot of the last few weeks. The Queen was so dignified, so inspiring, so selfless. Thank you for being the head of the Commonwealth. God Save the Queen.
Hello Joanne how are you doing 😊
She was such a kind, gracious human. So missed.
This is simply beautiful.All the emotions still so near the surface as a mere commoner,yet the senior royals are out there doing their duty for her legacy to continue.Thank you.
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t wish she was here - the finale of the crown did me in - seeing a young uniformed Elizabeth… well done, good and faithful servant of the people
Beautiful. More than the funeral of a legendary Queen. Tears for the world we knew passing before our eyes. God bless her soul and have mercy on us left behind. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧❤️
Wonderful!! In just a little over 5 minutes you captured the essence of the entire event!
