  • Broke my heart looking at how some of these young lads are,waste of time and of lives.

  • bands welsh not english

  • Only the dead have seen the end of war...RIP my brothers and sisters..lost but most definately not forgotten

  • such a powerful video great upload, such a talented band, especially vocally

  • i'm in tears here but thanx for an awesum tribute to our boys and girls xxx

  • Awesome tribute!!

  • God Bless, God Speed R.I.P

  • God Bless, God Speed R.I.P

  • A nice video treatment, and yeah, these servicemen who died were taken before their time.

    But I should point out that the young guy in the song committed suicide. The young guys in Iraq made a brave choice to serve. Blame Bush and Blair by all means, but don't blame the soldiers.

  • 1 SCOTS.

  • I dont think this is about the soldiers unfortuneatly. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, and yes i do feel for them too. But alot of people have said that this song is about a guy who everyone knew from Cwmaman, and he asked Kelly (while he was working on a stall) "When are the next train times"? Kelly told him, and a few hours later his body was on the tracks:/.

  • @tombstone569 yes, its ok the english state has been twisting the meaning out of anything welsh for hundreds of years...just look at them claiming Arthur and Merlin

  • ONE OF THE BEST STEREOS TRACKS ALWAYS REMINDS YOU OF SUMMER FESTIVALS AND GETTING MESSY

  • RIP Sgt Luke Farmer x

  • RIP Sgt Luke Farmer

  • pay tribute to all the innocent men, women, childern killed in the countries your local boy occupies...

  • Be proud of these people! Wish everyone in the uk was as brave as them!

  • @ClimaxMan69

    be proud of what? your boys killin innocent civilians in another country? wake up and use your brain sometimes...

  • Our boys and girls - YOU guys are not fighting for our own country anymore - BRING OUR TROOPS HOME WHERE THEY BELONG !!!

  • mr bush & mr blair hope you would take time out for only 5 mins of this superb download that paulchatfield as done. these were all local people in their photographs that never came home so now only a distant photograph in the minds of greiving families. you aint never gonna beat terrorism.

  • kelly god bless the local boy in the photo now,,RIP STU xxxx

  • this song is not about the war on terror, it's about their freind who got killed by s train. LISTEN TO THE LYRICS. still it's nice to see a memorial

  • it's nice to see a tribute to all those fallen but for god sake, it's about a boy who got hit by a train!!! listen to the lyrics

  • The UK should not be in Afganistan, we are wasting our troops lives for nothing.

  • Each time I see this video I cry.

    God bless our soldiers, they now do a job the government despises. I'm so proud of them.

  • @treveller, people like you post your views just to start arguements. This is a "Tribute to British Soldiers" so if you don't want to pay tribute, then keep your opinions to yourself. Think about the families of soldiers who have died reading your comments! doesn't matter who is right or wrong! this is not the place for it!

  • 'lay down their arms.. ' really.

    if that was the case, we'd all be subject to the horrific things going on all over the world right now! We'd all be living in horrible conditions. If not us, then someone else... other people with just asmuch right to live in respectful conditions as we do! That, is why these men fight - to give these people back the respect they deserve and to stop these power seeking people from attempting to take over any more countries with their barbaric ways!

  • @treveller, ur probs 1 of the sick basterds that killed these soldiers so gtfo and stfu u murdering scum

  • treveller 22 id love to rip yr fuckin head off and shit down yr neck you worthless piece of scum !!

  • You're obviously a highly intelligent individual gazzacfc1-I certainly wouldn't want to get into a battle of wits with someone like you.

  • ive got more brains im my little toe than you will ever have in your shit bag of a so called body mate !! can tell that from yr posts. ps we dont miss yer over here !!

  • yes, yes. Run along little boy.

  • you still breathin ? shame !!!

  • Instead of hurling childish abuse, why don't you try to answer some of the points I made. I would be interested in understanding the logic of people like yourself.

  • smug wanker , fuck off !!

  • @gazzacfc1

    I rest my case Gazza. Nobody could ever take someone who talks like you seriously. But as you are somebody who glorifies the murder of innocent men, women and children, I'm not surprised.

  • Number of suicide bombings in Britain before sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq- ZERO. And since the invasions......? Why is that you geniuses?

    Thankfully I no longer live in Britain. Nowadays it seems to be populated by small minded Bush and Blair worshipping, flag waving nationalaistic, warmongering idiots like mac9712 and hibeegirl17

  • Show some fucking respect you useless piece of shit, these boys do not fight for a wage, they are serving and dying for their country. It makes not diference if you or I think it is not a just war, that is politics, this is our boys living and dying for their country, a fact of life but is a sacrifice you would not have the guts to make so shut the fuck up and go crawl back under a rock.

  • Respect? To people who are paid to kill? No thanks. And guts? You think it takes bravery to die for Gordon Brown? British soldiers are not dying for their country. They are dying because they stupidly follow the orders of murdering scum like Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and George Bush. If they had any guts, they would lay down their arms instead of killing poor people.

  • @treveller22 fuck off ya cock!

  • @treveller22 they are dying because they want equality for all countries, you want to let the countries without a voice" just get on with it" ? I might agree with you if it wasn't for the children. If our soldiers just left ,do you even know how many lives would be lost, or how many lives would have have been lost for nothing, we must at least make this situation better before we pull out so all the deaths of our heros will not be for nothing

  • @conzdeans why you there then mt you joined

  • @MrTaximusic you dickhead

  • I see where you are coming from but you can't say that traveller dosent have a point as that is saying the war is without its fault's.

  • I don't think a single one of us is a Bush or Blair worshipper. I would happily tear off both of their heads and feast on the gooey material inside.

  • the pictures are so sad

  • treveller22 i wish you would travel to the nearest cliff and jump off head 1st... you dont know what your talking about ,,not a fucking clue.

  • mac9712 i am totally with u...i wish that traveller22 would get a fucking life and stop being a complete arsehole x

  • thanks hibee,,its folk like him that are fucking up this country, if its so crap here why dont he fuck off to Afghan and he could be some taliban guys bum boy. oh and by the way , your fitba team is shite by the way !!!!

  • fidel ya mad man lol

  • Fighting for 'us'? Why did people always say that about soldiers. They are fighting for their pay packet. And maybe to overcome their own sense of inadequacy by terrorising innocent civilians.

  • fighting for their pay packet??????....u just dont get it do u??? these men leave families and children behind and its nothing to do with wages!!!!! they could work in their local supermarket if they wanted but no they want to do something better with their lives...tell me...what is it u do?????

  • You think you are being patriotic by supporting the British army? You think British soldiers are keeping the streets safe by invading Iraq and Aghanistan???

    Tell me this- how many suicide bombings or attempts were there in Britain BEFORE Britain invaded Iraq? It's thanks to those 'brave' British soldiers that dozens of people died on the London transport system. Worse -it is thanks to British soldiers and their US masters that about 1 million Iraqi civilians are dead and millions more wounded.

  • any1 who wants to join the army and kill innocent ppl should rott in the depths of hell. fuck the british army. full of social rejects and loners looking for a purpose in life. fucking nut jobs the lot of them!!!!

  • soooo........what do you do to protect your country then? if you want to fight the army and be a retard, fight the people causing war, not the footsoldiers, they are only doing their duty. fucking retard

  • that was traveller 22!!!

  • my man is home now...thank god!!! My thoughts go out to every family, girlfriend,wife who have their man serving in the armed forces at this time.....

  • madfonics3 ditto! couldnt agree more, although i feel like punching hell out of laptop when i see bush/blair grinning away, wonder if there sons and daughters are thinking of a career in the millitary

  • this song is anti-war.

    the war is stupid.

    this war is only for the oil...

  • how the fuck is this song anti-war. its nothing about a war at all

  • nothing to do with war...you and i know that but maybe it strikes a chorde with the guys that are out there fighting for us

  • R.I.P all our fallen,for all our lads n lasses fighting for our country we are so proud of you,fekk the politics,we hate that your there but ur doing a gr8 job,so proud to be british and so proud of our boys n girls xxxx keep safe xxxx

  • Why have sympathy for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan? They are the ones killing innocent people. I'm fed up with soldiers whingeing about how dangerous their job is. If you don't want to get killed-don't join the army.

  • yes we have sympathy for our troops as they are doing a great job with little equipment and at the end of the day they join the army to fight for our country not iraq or afghanistan. our troops are innocent people who do care about others if they didnt they would of turned their back on the lot. because i would . keep up the good work and all my love is with you all.

  • u are a complete and gutless arsehole!!! If you were any kind of person you would defend the people who were you defending your freedom!!!! Who do you think makes it safe for you to walk the streets at night??? U r a spineless person who needs to stand up and defend the people who are giving their lives for you.....when you say if you dont want to get killed dont join the army does that go for the men that fought in ww1 and ww2 for you???????

  • It's almost two and a half years since i posted this and still the best of us are dying. Blair and Bush are now in comfy retirement, making Millions from telling people how they wrecked the lives of Hundreds of thousands of people.

    11 light Brigade return to Britain this week after 6 months in Helmand 70 came home in coffins. 70 local boys (and Girls) in photographs, in Newspapers.

  • @paulchatfield This happens to one of my all-time favourite songs Paul... The post to go with this song is very moving and actually brought me to tears. It makes me angry that we are still over there.. BRING THEM HOME NOW!!! My thoughts are with you.

  • @paulchatfield well done mate, great video, how aren't blair and bush dead, seriously!!!!!

  • r.i.p

  • up the army,i feel humble to be honest,but im way 2 unfit and old 2 fight!

  • i think everyone can relate to this song at the moment..my mans in afghanistan at the mo...i love and miss him sooo much xxx

  • I hope the day you are back in each others arms is very soon.

    Love, light and life.

  • i fort it wer about his friend who got killed by a train but people sed he commited suicide ?

  • Yeah it is

  • it is

  • Everyones got a local boy in a photograph,..its somewhat a metephor.Simple

  • Comment removed

  • this song is about a boy who got killed by a train, its not a political song, its wrong to use it as such this song has no agenda so dont fuck with it!!! this is a welsh song not a song about fuckin soldiars, your a fuckin wanker mate

  • You want your head knocking off you tosser, we live in a free country thanks to people like this who make the ultimate sacrifice, with that in mind I think there's no harm in this tribute and they can use any song they like, if you don't like it feel free to piss off to somewhere like north korea! You make me sick.

  • you make me sick, you racist cunt!

  • good call!!

  • I love this. If you dont, keep your views to yourself and watch something else. Maybe practice your spelling?

  • Love to all those proud, brave boys, rest in peace lads.

  • we are all our own local boy's photographs...

  • Those brave men and women are in my prayers and the families of them should be proud and wear their medals with pride.

    In parts of this land they are not forgotten

    RIP you brave souls.

  • RIP

  • RIP when you go home tell them of of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today thanks to the unknown soldier

  • im so proud

  • Be done with the whole thing and nuke the lot then go back to clean up stop our boys and girls been killed, 25 b52s fully loaded should do the trick

  • very emotional. LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY. RIP MY BROTHERS. GOD BLESS X

  • apparently kelly picked up a newspaper and the headline was local boy in the photograph (THTS WHERE THE SONG GOT THE NAME)and the boy was a music journalist so kelly knew him but they wernt best friends tho and he had been run over by a train and died and they all lay flowers down to remember him and they talked about how they knew him

    thts wht i heard

  • we love briatan

  • Turn left at France.

  • Not sure why the War on Terror is placed in quotations, as that is entirely what they are doing and will do so for some time.

  • thats my uncal

  • good on any person who fights for peoples safty

    Good song and vid

  • hey paul its trina, fantastic video, very sad though. i like the song choice and the reason you chose it. well done i think its fab...

    * yes its there job and they chose to do it but it doesnt mean they deserve to die, people choose to be in the army to save lives and protect their country, if the goverment didnt start wars they wouldnt need be in them, they dont choose to die so i think sympathy should still be felt*

    lets pray they return to their families safely x x

  • December 19th Sheffield Arena.I am Buzzing just thinking about it!!!

  • fuck the Queen, God save all soldier's lives

  • As head of the armed forces the monarch is also a soldier.

  • yeah my mate just told me that. But still, it has all the wrong connotations don't you think

  • And calling yourself dickhead doesn't?

  • nah, JasonRadley does though as well

  • That comedy school you went to owes you a refund.

  • you're right

  • When you look at the faces, you realise they were people with hopes, loves and dreams like the rest of us. The sad thing is, and what makes it a travesty, they have died for nothing.

  • disagree

  • Name me one worthwhile thing they died for? George Bush's oil in Iraq, or an unwinnable war in Afghanistan?

  • Thalido, the problem with the people who hold the anti-Iraq stance, is that given your opposition to going into Iraq to begin with, all the positives and just causes that are being fort and died for since are dissmissed to the point of sticking fingers in ears. I'm sure you could tell us the reasons for what is being fort for today, but your refusal to budge one iota from your 2002 stance does not help debate. Youre anti iraq, cool, dont be turn a death ear to prove something from 2002.

  • all i no is rip our soldiers we are proud of you all xxxx

  • This Video is Brilliant,great song by kelly,At the end of the day all the u.s and english soldiers have lost there lives..but what for???whats been achieved in Iraq really,saddams gone but everything else is just about the same,bush and blair didnt think before jumping in,such a lose of life for no reason,

    The Iraq war was a total cock up, and we should have never gone in.

  • this is such a sad vid made me cry. Well done the song suit its so well

  • love diss song

  • respect to ya for this vid. its like the song was written for this. peace

  • Every single one of these people died so bush and his friends could make money.

  • Disagree. Bush believes his own bullshit.

  • You obviously didn't understand my point.

    I pity the fool.

  • god bless and protect all soldiers fighting,no matter what or where they are from,dumnezeu ajutor munde
