As A 16 Year Old Army Cadet Who Is Currently At College Doing A - Level's So I Can Join The Army as an Infantry Officer Then Join These As An Officer... Seeing Soldiers Who Die Where They Were Happy Bring A Tear To My Eye
My Red And White Royal Fusilier Hackle And Cap Badge Followed By Black/Navy Bureau On My Head I Proudly Salute You And Your Friends... I'll Be At That Post Where You Where Someday!! :)
Guardsman Goggins is now guarding a different gate. He stands with his mates who have been guarding his new post for a long time, waiting for him, and for the rest of us. Thanks soldier, we'll be with you soon.
I too am an aging veteran from the US and I will, one day, witness the changing of the guard before TAPS are sounded for me.
For a fleeting moment this young man was a part of the lives of many - even the tourists who took pride in posing with him have with them a memento of this fine young man who they could not realize would soon part from this world. The tribute made here by his loving father is a poignant one which brings home the humanity behind the uniform beyond the responsibilities of the post. Thank you for this moving tribute you share with us all.
Very touching. If someone knows or has access to the sheet music to the background piano solo
please be so kind as to let me know. My eldest Lad (17) is currently @ ATR Winchester and is due to pass out Feb 19th, his younger brother plays piano and would like the piece. Thanks.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the sad loss of your son Michael. You must be so very very proud of him. I know you and all his family will take comfort in the fact that he was one od the best but I know it still hurts when you think of him. May he rest in peace and may God bless you and keep you safe.
words cannot express the sympathy i feel for you and your family on this dreadful loss of your son,no parent should ever have to bury their children I pray for your family tonight. R.I.P from the commonwealth of Canada
I am so sorry about the loss of your son. My son is a US Marine so I understand that pride you feel. From us to you, his family and his mates, a heartfelt "Semper Fideles"...always faithful - - - From Texas
From the U.S. Never been to England. I want to go someday. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to see the Changing of the Guard. Have always been fascinated and impressed by their vigilance and professionalism. Now, as an aging veteran of the U.S. military what these guys do means even more to me. My salute to you young man, and all your mates who stand tall.
Once a Grenadier, always a Grenadier, my deepest sympathy for the sad loss of your son, please take confort in the fact that he was one of our own, and a brother in arms, so we that live on become your sons, forever.

The video and touching comments bring tears and raises lumps in the throat Dave.
I am sure Michael will agree that a Father could not have done better, a labour born out of love.
