The Unknown Warrior Story | The Bands of HM Royal Marines | Reaction

You can say what you want about my country, but we know how to honour our fallen. To give the ultimate gift to your country should be honoured.

Such an emotional service... for remembering UK's fallen heroes BUT also all of the allies from across the world who fought alongside us ! Humble thanks to all who lost members of their families . THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ...NOT EVER .

The British Unknown Soldier was laid to rest amongst monarchs. This signifies the immense respect and honor bestowed upon this soldier who remains unidentified. It is a symbol of the sacrifice that countless soldiers have made for their country, and the gratitude that is owed to them for their selflessness. The decision to bury the Unknown Soldier with kings demonstrates the recognition of the magnitude of the loss that war brings, as well as the importance of acknowledging and honoring those who have given their lives in service. The Unknown Soldier's resting place serves as a reminder of the bravery and valor that are integral to the British identity, and the need for continued reverence for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This act of commemoration and respect is a testament to the deep sense of patriotism and gratitude that is felt by the British people, and serves as a powerful symbol of the nation's unity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Thank you for your service Many respects from 🇬🇧

Nice reaction. The Unknown Warrior was such a good idea that both France and the USA have their own unknown warriors/soldiers. In France I believe he's buried under the Arc de Triumph, and in the USA in Arlington. The USA have a special guard called Sentinels who stand watch over theirs. In the UK the tomb of the Unknown Warrior is the ONLY grave in Westminster Abbey that it is forbidden to stand on. You can jump up and down on the tombs of past Kings and Queens, and of great men, such as Winston Churchill, but you can NEVER set foot on that tomb as it would be disrespectful. Royal Brides have a tradition of leaving their wedding bouquets on the tomb as a mark of respect.

It's an interesting fact that the tomb of the unknown warrior is at the very entrance of the chapel so it doesn't matter whether you are a King, Queen prime minister, president or supreme leader of a country you must give way to the unknown warrior.

They lost there lives for the rights we are loosing today, weve sorely let these brave men down

Lest We Forget, God Bless every one of those that gave their lives for their Country.

The history of this tiny island is a pretty amazing one. Britain made a massive contribution to the whole concept of western civilization from the Magna Carter onwards. The list of technological and scientific advancements that spread around the world from the UK is amazing. The nation that a immense cost in blood and treasure decide to wage a crusade to end slavery for the entire world. The motherland or source for nations like the USA (though they would probably dispute it), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, not the forget the Commonwealth. Not too shabby for a tiny island people.

This always brings tears and gratitude in me. Every year on rememberance I give thanks and always will.

Absolutely amazing reaction 😊. Thank you for reacting to UK content especially military 🇬🇧. Much respect Birmingham UK ✌️.

Utmost respect to all our fallen totally without regard to race or religion, they gave the ultimate gift, at the going down of the sun and in the morning we WILL remember them! Eye's front SALUTE.

The poppy wreath being laid on the drum altar just lovely.

All the metal work for the coffin of the UNKNOWN WARRIOR was made in the Brunswick Ironworks in Caernarfon, North Wales by order of Prime Ministor David Lloyd George.

Thank you for reacting to this, watching this always gets me emotional since many of my great great grandfathers served in the British armed forces during the World War One.

You are allowed to walk anywhere you want to in the abbey, on tombs, graves, whatever . . . . but you are forbidden to walk on this one..... and I mean forbidden

Beautiful reaction thank you so much for your sincere kind words.

Being English its very hard to not tear up watching this... react to how the Victoria cross is earned

Heartbreaking but at the same time warming, imagine a mother that believes that this soldier is her boy, the pride must be immense, the soldiers grave at Westminster is the first you see above and beyond any KINGS grave and the ONLY grave no body can walk over such is it’s esteem in British culture and history

The last bugle call on the video was called SUNSET, It was played in the Marines to recall them back to camp at night! It was played at my Father in Law's funeral as e was an ex Royal Marine Commando
