  • Proud to be British! And equally proud of my American ancestors far back. From a 14 year old, lets always be friends..? (:

  • What a fantastic tribute. The US and UK are both great nations who love and respect each other on all levels. As someone with family ties on both sides of the pond, I can vouch for the mutual bond we have. The British sense of perspective really shines through here. My thanks go out to everyone involved in this wonderful, dignified act of comradeship, and to donkaiser for uploading it.

  • True unity amidst adversity.

  • They should take these guys around thr US and have them play at every football game they can. THAT's how this great national anthem should be played EVERY time. No improvisation. No dreadlocked imbecile trying to put their won mark on it. Just a magnificent brass band of MEN.

  • We together as two nations will never forget 9/11 but through this devastating attack we were brought even closer as friends and we will remain friends to the end, God Bless America and God Save The Queen.

  • I shall never forget the solidarity, friendship & compassion shown by the good people of the United Kingdom towards the United States during and after September 11th 2001, you have always been a great friend to us, but this tragedy brought us even closer more as a people than as nations. I have a deep respect and admiration for the United Kingdom and will until I breathe my last, thank you…

  • The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and The United States of America. Forever together as friends.

  • Whoever described this as a mother singing to he child is right. Thank you, UK, for being there for us. God bless you, and God bless America.

  • The two people who disliked this should be shot.

  • God bless New York , True grit amongst your people. Rich or poor, famous or unknown. Christian or Muslim, that coward killed them all. We jumped for joy in UK when we heard weely bin laden laden was emptiedI Nearly cried when I watched. 9/11 A Firemans Story. I did, but hid it from the wife. Think I did. Work nxt day. Alicia Keys,

  • Britain is all class. Thank you for your support.

  • This is why I will stand with the UK forever, we owe our very traditions/roots to you and a huge amount of our population trace our heritage to the UK. We will forver stand with you. God Save the Queen

  • I am an American, and while we had a spat with Great Britain which led to our independence, In my opinion, it is this separateness that has helped us maintain a closer friendship that we could have achieved if we were still one nation. I thank Great Britain for your continuing friendship. God save the Queen! God Bless America!

  • Whatever negative comments you hear or read, coming from the old continent....never have a doubt that there are still many of us who are greatfull for what the UK/USA did (do) for us (twice). The negativists should go and visit the graves of your forefathers her in Flanders and get down on their knees to ask foregivness. God bless both of your countries. I hope he keeps inspiring you to keep on saving ours because the critics here in Belgium surely won't be the ones in the trenches.

  • To Great Britain and the queen, Thank you. I almost cried. This means so much, especially viewing it again so close to the tenth anniversary. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  • Wow. I cried when I heard this. this is beautiful.

  • This is so inspiring, and incredibly touching. Thank you.

  • I am an American. - An "English/German redneck ",if you must label me.My forefathers are from England and Germany. On September 12th,2001, These FOOCKING beautiful Englishmen broke my Heart. I Lost and found great friends on SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH TWO THOUSAND ONE. Sorry, the euthymistic (READ) " pussy" term "9/11' (NINE-ELEVEN). Just doesn't do it for me. God Save The Queen, and God Bless America.

    OOH-RAH!

  • As an American of British heritage, all I can say is God Bless our Cousins and Long LIve the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic people of the UK and Ireland !

  • Posted this on the other video of this: "Brits kick ass. Thank you from an American cousin!!!"

  • Our friends...will always be :) Thank you!

  • To our friends across the Pond:

    Your support and friendship in that time of national tragedy exemplifies the traits for which you have consistently been known and commended - class, dignity, duty, and service above self. Never has the United States had a more staunch and valuable ally than the one we have in the United Kingdom. Rule, Britannia. May we never forget.

  • Thank you England.....thank you soooo very much !!!

  • This video defines class. Every American should watch this, especially since the 10-year anniversary of 9-11 is so near. As an American of British stock I can say that I have never been prouder of my ancestral homeland than I have since viewing this clip. Long live the UK!

  • Thanks guys.

  • Being British and only seven years old I cried when I heard about 9/11 United we stand God bless the UK and God bless America

  • An apt video on this important day.

  • And at last, our country is free.

  • September 13, 2001. For the first time EVER, the Queen allowed her troops to play the National Anthem of a foreign country, in rememberance of all those who'd lost their lives.

  • Comment removed

  • @matthewmttyd Word homie, Word!

  • Has anyone noticed I'am the only one saluting on parade.

  • As an American who has returned several times to this youtube video since it was first posted, all i can say is my prayer is that "They'll Always Be An England".

  • @Jeeves1952 Thank you for that, from an Englishwoman! There is a (very long!) poem by Alice Durer Miller, who, I think, was a German married to an Englishman. The whole poem is interminable, but I love the last lines - "There is much to hate here, much to forgive, But in a world where Engand were finished and dead, I would not want to live!" And we Brits should not forget in our turn that, without America in WWII, we might very well have been finished. God bless America.

  • @SweetBriarRose Hey, We yanks love you Brits. We have your 6! :D

  • I've had many debates with Americans on YouTube whether it be about athletics, history, WW2 or London v New York but one thing I can say although we sometimes bicker, we're united when it truly counts.

  • @pidgeblev true, very, very true

  • Love and respect from the USA. "there is no substitute for British class." Not my quote but its true. 

  • especially poignant seeing as the original poem 'the star spangled banner' was about the British defeat at Fort McHenry

  • @65spiders Especially poignant as the tune was written by an Englishman and adopted for the anthem :-)

  • @Damnblastify A drunk Englishman at that.

  • @65spiders More like a withdrawal but never mind.

  • @Talbot6832 no defeat.

  • @MrElucidate sorry mate, it died a long time ago

  • America is fundamentally British (the language I am writing in right now is called "English"....they don't call it that for nothing...). And as an American, I thank you for everything - including this amazing (& tear jerking) tribute! : )

  • @rachelt816 Anytime

  • They cut it short! Sing along and you'll see!

  • Comment removed

  • THAT'S how this song should be played.  Every time. Men. Strong brass band. No improvisation. Just strong, clarion sounds. It's too good a tune to fuck about with .

  • The unit on the right as you face is the Devon and Dorsets in no 1 dress (Dark blue) and very sadlly the first Devon and Dorset to come into view is Mark Hale a great man killed in Afghanistan bringing in a wounded soldier. Typical that he would lay down his life for his brother soldiers. Dont mourn that this man died, thank God that such a man lived. A friend.

  • @MrDevonanddorset: God bless Mark Hale and all those like who who have stood fast with America against the enemies of freedom.

  • Good show Coldstream Guards, good show.

  • @matthewmttyd i know it's him.

  • @TheIceman567 I'm not but I don't care if you think I am as long as you don't start things up again

  • @USAforeverproud then get lost.

  • @TheIceman567 no, why the fuck should I? Wow looks like the guy was right, you just like to act like an asshole. You're a fucking disgrace to those who were murdered in 9/11

  • @USAforeverproud Yeah really? I was there on 9/11 where were you bitch show some respect asshole.

  • @TheIceman567 I was watching part of it unfold on the TV. Being there doesn't make you special. Actually HAVING respect is better than telling someone else to, when I clearly do and you don't - you just want to carry on arguing and wrecking this tribute. You're a disgrace to your country and to those who died. Clearly the other guy was right about you.

  • @USAforeverproud No i have great respect for my country. that's why i fought for it unlike yourself who just sits in front on a computer talking shit get a life kiddo. You're a disgrace to your country and to those who died.

  • @TheIceman567 you have NO respe4ct or you wouldn't be constantly insulting the memory of those who died. You're doing the computer equivalent of stomping on their heads. If you fought it was for YOURSELF or because you were conscripted. Someone makes a tribute video and you constantly argue and write hateful comments. Yeah, that's really worth those people DYING isn't it?

  • @USAforeverproud Am i? Keyboard Warrior? Because if i was i wouldn't have fought for these people. And you just show your age by calling people names. That's just sad.

  • @TheIceman567 you fought for those people yet you insult their memory? That's even worse, making it look like you care then stamping on their graves

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 I'm stomping on their graves then men i fought with a died are who my brothers were. Yeah i fought for those people more then i can say for you sitting behind a computer.

  • @TheIceman567 you know nothing about me. I'm not the one dishonouring their memory by hearing a view of what happened to them and going "oh you're right, I'll believe that" because it's easy to, instead of actually finding out what really happened to them.

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 No you're right i know nothing about you. But i know your kind. Loser geek still living at home with his parents.

  • @TheIceman567 no that would be university graduate with honours. You, on the other hand, despite your claims, probably haven't even graduated high school.

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Really? But you're still living at home with mummy and daddy how sad.

  • @TheIceman567 unlike you, I left home at 16 and lived independently. If you're older than 16 (something I'm starting to doubt) then I'm willing to bet you were living with mummy and daddy at 16. Probably still are. In the unlikely event you have a wife, I bet she does all your washing and cooking for you because you can't do it yourself.

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 nope i was in boot camp at 16 and 17 in iraq.

  • @TheIceman567 no wonder you're fucked in the head

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Only foe you sweetie.

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 This youtube video has been a healing, helpful thing for so many people. Would you possibly consider removing your comment? It probably made sense just considering the ebb and flow of the "conversation" as you saw it, but it's so out of keeping with the seriousness of 9/11 and this video. thanks.

  • @matthewmttyd be happy to

  • @matthewmttyd I saw how it started so I know how it actually started. Yes, let's leave it

  • @matthewmttyd I just tried to get you two to stop as well but you just refuse to. You really should shut up now

  • @matthewmttyd I haven't opened anything, I just tried to get you two to stop as well

  • @matthewmttyd if you look back, he mentioned them for a particular reason. Considering the people who gave their lives fighting the Islamic terrorist orgs after 9/11. I think he has a point about freedom so invasive pat downs that are essentially groping is relevant really

  • @matthewmttyd do you have to still carry this on with him? You say you'll stop and you argue with him even after he's stopped! He was simply expressing opinion based on what theiceman guy said, so I can understand him being angry. But you two both carried on insulting

  • @matthewmttyd I've read enough I saw what he wrote and what you two wrote. You two were the worst. He was just trying to get people to understand about the new pat downs (and I checked on bing, they exist) and about what he thought was the truth about 9/11 (and he has a right to an opinion). You two kept insulting him

  • @USAforeverproud now we'll come at you if you don't beat it with that bullshit.

  • @TheIceman567 wow. You're so immature. You actually WANT to write bad things on a video about people who died for your own amusement. Even after you claim you knew people who died!

  • I'm going to stop now because of what USaforeverproud said. No doubt you two will carry on

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 ya we won.

  • @TheIceman567 look he/she has stopped it, why are you doing this? This is a video in memory of people who died in the 9/11 attacks. You're being horrible

  • @TheIceman567 then why are you ruining this video by writing horrible comments? Don;t you have any respect for the people you knew who died?

  • @USAforeverproud yeah i don't but you're saying it's an in side job? my friends were not killed by the us government you tool.

  • @TheIceman567 so show some god damn respect.

  • @TheIceman567 when did I say it was an inside job? I don't know whether it was or wasn't - I would never have believed it was but there's been mad evidence like the way the building collapsed, the fact it was cleared before the crash, the fact Bush lied about when he heard about it. Either way, I'm not going to automatically believe anything - to respect the victims, I want to know the whole truth and nothing but

  • @USAforeverproud yeah nice try WiccanHighPriest0

  • @TheIceman567 he hasn't posted anything else. Just stop it!

  • @USAforeverproud no that you. nice try.

  • @TheIceman567 huh? You're not making sense. Oh well at least you've stopped arguing with people, cool

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 thank you! Nice to know someone cares for peoples' feelings

  • Come on! I'm trying to watch this without something about a new silly comment popping up. This is really upsetting me. Can you three just STOP IT?!

  • I've been reading thru all the comments. You two (matthewmttyd and TheIceman567) should stop hating on WiccanHighPriest0 on this video. Do it elsewhere. These are my countrymen and women who the guards are playing the anthem for. And you decide to engage in an insult war on here. It really makes me sad and makes me feel like you are attacking Americans. And WiccanHighPriest, you stop relatiliating.

  • @matthewmttyd go fuck yourself dickcheese

  • @matthewmttyd you're a prick and an arsehole too

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 you're a poopy head

  • @TheIceman567 you're a prick and an arsehole

  • @matthewmttyd go fuckl yourself you child rapist

  • @matthewmttydI don't give a shit whether it does or not when you're a child molester supporter and a terrorist supporter. Vile sick fuck

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Yeah but you're a wee wee head

  • @TheIceman567 you're a prick and a dumb fuck

  • @matthewmttyd i agree

  • @TheIceman567 go kill yourself too you vile bastard

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 you first an enjoy the ride.

  • @TheIceman567 no, you need to died for supporting terrorists and child molesters

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 nope poo poo head that's you

  • @matthewmttyd I will repeat myself every time he does and I'll respond to your bullshit too. A child rapist defending killers and child rapists has a lot to do with this video in the so-called "home of the free"

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 then it's gonna be a long night rapist.

  • @matthewmttyd no, you two are the ones defending child rape and defending the people involved in the killings. You're lying vile bastards.

  • TheIceman567 and mattthewttyd, you're disgusting coming on this video and posting lies and hatred for children. Stop insulting the memory of the people who died and go kill yourselves instead

  • @matthewmttyd go kill yourself instead of stamping on dead bodies. Sick fuck

  • @matthewmttyd no he's a child molester mate

  • @TheIceman567 no you are as you have proven already. Go kill yourself instead of doing the equivalent of stamping on the dead bodies

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 go kill yourself child rapist.

  • @TheIceman567 you're the child rapist as you have kept proving. That's why you defend them. Go kill yourself instead of insulting the memory of those who died

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 kill yourself rapist

  • @TheIceman567 you're the child rapist as you have kept proving. That's why you defend them. Go kill yourself instead of insulting the memory of those who died

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 rapist

  • @TheIceman567 you're the child rapist as you have kept proving. That's why you defend them. Go kill yourself instead of insulting the memory of those who died

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 rapist

  • @matthewmttyd no, go kill yourself you child rapist and stop sullying the memory of those who died

  • @matthewmttyd no, I mean only a child molester would defend child molesters. YOU.

  • @matthewmttyd no, people who talk about it are the ones willing to do something about it. People who defend child molesters are usually the guilty ones. Like you.

  • @matthewmttyd I haven't bullshitted at all and you know it. Child molester too no doubt

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 You're a child molester

  • @TheIceman567 I have never made any comment to suggest that. YOU HOWEVER HAVE CONTINUOUSLY DEFENDED CHILD MOLESTERS AT AIRPORTS. PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT YOU'RE THE CHILD RAPIST. ONLY A CHILD MOLESTER WOULD DEFEND THEM

  • @matthewmttyd no you fuck off you sick bastard

  • @matthewmttyd I'm not spouting any rhetoric and if you want to defend a child molester you can go fuck yourself too. I didn't tell anyone what they should be thinking. You're a disgrace insulting the memory of the very people this tune was played in memory of

  • To those who insult and dishonour the dead by deliberately ignoring the truth: Britain is not with you.

    But to those who know what happened, and those simply haven't had a chance to know what happened yet, Britain is with you. Years later, we are still with you, and hopefully one day those involved will admit the truth and be brought to justice. And hopefully one day your freedoms will be restored and the memories of your ancestors will be honoured once again.

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Britain isn't with us that's why i fought with them in the field you little waste of cum i mean your Catholic that's a joke in it's self.

  • @TheIceman567 Wow. You are so fucking ignorant it's unbelievable. I'm not the slightest bit Catholic - yet another thing you choose to be ignorant about. Britain is NOT with ignorant little bastards like you who don't even give a shit about your own dead supposed friends

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 No Britain is with us . I fought along side British troops. where were you?

  • @TheIceman567 Really? But yet you can't tell me if you were raped at an American airport how funny.

  • @TheIceman567 I'm not answering stupid irrelevant questions to an ignorant fuck who's going to talk nonsense in response. You're probably glad your friends died

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 See thank you it's a No as in you were not. No proof and all talk.

  • @TheIceman567 see my other comments. I gave you plenty of evidence. You refuse to look at it

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Because your comments are jokes. Kinda like you.

  • @TheIceman567 no, my comments are serious. You are the one acting like a fucking moron

  • @WiccanHighPriest0 Fuckin coward blocker.
