    My son was a royal marine and he served across the globe, sadly I lost him to cancer and I’m more than proud of him
    and his achievements. Two Marines played the last post at his funeral and we all wept. The people who gave this post
    a thumbs down are worthless idiots who would never stand and fight for our country, they would run and hide like
    cowards and they hide behind their computers. Our Royal are the best in the world (Fact) and I am one of millions who
    love and respect them. Well done all our Royal Marines, so proud of you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

    Dear Rosemary, I grew up in a Navy family. Uncles, Cousins, and most of our family friends were Navy. I'm 70 now, and have been to so many Navy funerals it's just left a dent in me. I started crying for you thinking about the loss you've suffered. It's hard for me to listen to pipes, or drums, or bugles. Remember, God loved soldiers. Recall the Centurion that trusted Jesus to just speak the word, and he knew his daughter would be healed. For those haters that gave this a thumb down, God will give them a thumb down someday. Be well......

    As an ex Royal Marine Commando, this means so much to me. i lost Friends in northern ireland and even more whe we assaulted the twin sisters in the Falklands. For those that gave this a thumbs down I hope you never volunteer for your countries armed forces and then go through combat and lose friends and comrades that have become closer than your own family, ity tears you apart, stops you wanting to know people or get close to people in case they too die and leave you. even know 39 years after the Falklands I still suffer with PTSD and the last post and the band of the royal marines can still bring me to tears.

    You can talk about the Guards and any other regiment you can think of, but every time I see and hear the Royal Marines it sends a shiver of pure pride down my back. I've seen and heard the Top Secret Drum Corps who are absolutely fascinating to watch - and why not? The difference is that the TSDC are not full-time soldiers - their business is drumming, and they are truly spectacular. The RM's on the other hand, are full-time serving soldiers and have to fit their music into a very busy military schedule. Wherever they go in the world they are held in awe and great respect, just as they really deserve. For timing and precision, they are unmatchable! Britain has good reason to be proud of such men.

      My Dad was in the Royal Artillery, He fought alongside the Gurkha Regiment in Malaya, I never served but he taught me a lot of what he learned in the British Army, I learned to respect in a lot of ways, and I will never forget one thing he told me, He Said to me, If ever an emergency or danger, you always put women and children first, then he said never hit a woman, if you do you will get one from me, he went on to say no matter what a women may do to you, you never lay a finger on her, I never have, that's one thing I learned from him, he was a Mans Man. Oh yes, Me my five Brothers and two sisters, We all can count in Malayan Language... as that's how he counted out our pocket money lol, I still can today lol great memories.
