[wyvisben]

A fine piece of piping and a very moving tribute.

[goldhand85]

[IIOV8MC2]

♣ Well hello me dear brothers!!! this is really Beautifull. I'm sure every note from this amazing song will get gently to the heros soul (Argentinean & British) like winter when gets softly to the barley on winter morning. I'm from Argentina, Buenos Aires; Admiral William Brown Colony. I'm fiddler (irish, folk country music) and my old parents came from Ireland and Brittany. My heart & my soul will be celtic and argentine forever! thanks for sharing this beauty! I really appreciate it!! ♣ Ign.

[chrisstead]

How can people dislike this video,,its one of the most mnovingpieces of music in the world

[9ockta]

Brilliant!!

[oronamar]

Great Tune. I am from Argentina .. .and I am a scottish piper too.

My old parents came from Wales...and France.. ( good roots ) !!

noneless , I feel sadness for ALL the young men who will die to serve corrupt politician's ends. Argentinians and Englishman too.

Good set.. ( is totally warnock ) I am playing with a chanter McCallum.. and really is a great chanter.. Thanks

[GwB1967AR]

A tribute who fought and died in Malvinas/Falklands.

We should start again... being partners...

[MeRioDeLaPlata]

Lindo homenaje a todos los que murieron en combate en las Islas Malvinas. Touching tribute to the Soldiers who fought and died in Malvinas. R.I.P.

[ChadHorney]

I love the pipes, especially laments. Is it just me, or is there something primal about them? It's as if you're talking to the dead, telling them they're not forgotten......

Maybe it's just me....

[spercepolnes21]

It's not just you.............

[dennis13spartan]

beautiful rendition, bagpipes are great too, perfectly tuned. could you tell me what make they are, and what reeds you are using, i would realy appreciate it.

[piperjomo]

Thanks for your comments.

The drone reeds are made by Canning, the chanter and chanter reed are Warnock.

The drones are a very old unknown make.

[Garganort]

Wonderful music. Truly peaceful and thought-provoking.

[abbottboi]

pipers.. always fierce.

I've also piped windy days with cold fingers.. glad to hear your reeds didn't go all crazy.

[3tangle3]

Highlanders forever.

So this place lads....it was never settled by any native americans from form uni degree work.

Spainish first to see it and believed they had claimed it. Britian comes along claims it with a flag as per usual and settles it.

Conclusion: Its up to the bloody people to decide their constitutional future! Long live democracy!

[Cathain78]

They are only there cause they got booted out of Buenos Aires anyway :-)

[Tettius]

..best warriors ever.Long live the 78th Highlanders!

[Cathain78]

Aye fighting for the same army that put them to the sword centuries ago. You know why the Black Watch were created right?

[dustyndirk]

Nice One !!

[witchhunter32]

commemorating the dead of the falklands war yea ?

[markd3107]

To reiterate others' comments...many thanks.

[mmm888777]

Thank you sir.

[booooostaaaa]

ALBA GU BRATH!

[AngusOnkel]

[petibatyo]

Thank you, and RIP for all the dead!

[hfranke07]

Thank you. I remember

[Factnotfictionpeople]

I have nothing but respect for ALL armed forces - but at the same time, I feel sadness for ALL the young men and women who will die to serve corrupt politician's ends.

Bless you all - lads and lasses - and may you find eternal peace should you have to pay the ultimate price........

[enzo3737]

Even if we disagree who the islands belong to, I salute you for your comments.

Argentine.

[greg8263]

If any Muslims, laid down their life it does. I guess a lot did during the Second World War.

[johndane99]

and do the pipes play the flowers of the forrest for muslims??

[piperjomo]

Why wouldnt they?

Respect everything and everyone

[showusyertube]

@piperjomo Good on ye

[kadosh66]

was there last year. Any profesional soldier will tell you it was one of the hardesr terrains in which to fight. If you really think that any war in which the world fights is about ideology you are so sadly mistaken. ET IN ARCADIA EGO.

?

[showusyertube]

@johndane99 Oh dear...

[rrozasf]

Flowers of the forest es un gran tema muy emotivo

[Trajan13]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

[scotlandglentoran]

dont express opinions over who are the best regiment, the marines are the pride of the navy. the paras are the pride of the army, they are not special forces though, SBS @ SAS, are. they both fought bravely and i happen to hear first hand the battle of the two sisters by a former marine commando, brave men. royal irish (16AA)

[2parabattalion]

god save the Paras (although they dont need saving when you consider there the best)

[mnipgailid]

have you heard of the royal marines? they're like you lot except they have 4 weeks more training and don't get to jump out of plain for fun! :D

[2parabattalion]

yes i've heard of the Royal Marines. many believe that the Marines are tougher due to the extra 4 weeks, however this is a lie, 60% of recruits get into the RM commandos, whilst on 40% get into the paras. plus no woman has ever passed p coy, unlike the RM all arms commando course. also very few RM commandos who have tried p coy (para selection) have failed, whereas most Paras (who have tried) have passed the commando course. the extra couple a weeks is only there just teach you the basics

[mnipgailid]

Was just kiddding mate ;), Im not going to get into an argument, but perhaps more people pass the rm test because they prepare and train more? I wasn't really saying they are `harder` or anything, just a bit of fun.They are probably just as good as the royal marines, I am not terribly informed about the paras at the moment, and I am probably bias towards the marines as you are probably to the paras because I plan to join the marines in about a year. Sorry if it seemed I was being serious before.

[2parabattalion]

no probs mate. there both special forces and are both great, the Paras in my own biased opinion are tougher, but hey bombs and bullets, blokes are being killed so who cares what reg there from

[2parabattalion]

oh and good luck on getting into the RM commandos aswell m8

[mnipgailid]

thanks, I'm 15 at the moment and am training like fuck so by the time I can join in just under a year I WILL be able to pass.

[jmdm1957]

Publicity stunt mate, as you know,so are the Rm as bad as you are suggesting in your opinion. or as you know we are DEFINATLEY linked,weather we like it or not.

[TroyaE117]

I have wanted to visit for some time.

This is very moving.

[PA65000]

Correction. I meant Uruguay.

[PA65000]

Paraguay isnt a bad place to live.

Definately shines above the multiculturalism of Britians new mankind.

[sparten1978]

ravenccp- i agree,they are kids..this anti english/scottish thing..anyone who served in the forces will say its bollocks..u idiots on here who have to argue points..GROW UP,GET A LIFE,cause obviously havnt had or lived a WOTHWHILE one. There arnt many people in the  whole of britain who havnt got some form of scott/irsih/engl/welsh origin. BRITISH N PROUD

[ravenccp1]

Great tune too bad it is a funeral tune. I have just recently picked up learning the Great Highland Bagpipes and hope to learn that tune. Pay no attention to the children below. Again Great tune you were Excellent.

[shokidq]

Mitterrand should have held out and not given the codes for the Exocet missiles Thatcher would have used a nuke & problem solved. now weve a series of dikless wasters who together couldn't muster a pair like thatcher had. they just want to line their pockets and screw the country.

[PA65000]

Margaret thatcher was a leader in the global revolution who was forced to succumb to a higher authority in the American people to hault her warrior ambition.

Nuclear warheads saturate the ground with radioactive pollution which destroys the richness of the soil forever.

That is why America must not allow international socialism to penetrate and overtake the Constitution.

Nuclear war over international slight is a strict possibility and time is of the essence.

[cockleheadXL]

eeew still arguing about that, after all these years? Grow up! I wasn't even born when that war occurred. Why should I care? I'm proud of being english of scottish descent! Yes! but I don't feel like I'm almighty. Times are changing, that's why the islands are not the same anymore. I don't even know why we care about the queen.

[scotsdave1]

Its a tribute to the soldiers that have fallen giving you the right to sit there judging. not just in the falklands but in all wars. Show some respect please.

[DukeOD]

Ok.. Correct me if i´m wrong here.. But is´nt this "Flowers of the Forest" a funeral-song/tune? How the hell can it start up a fight about something that happend over 200 years ago like PA65000 is shouting about.. Who cares.. Just cant see what a tune like this has to do with it?!

[patoruzitornnfkvkvbk]

Islas Malvinas, territorio argentino momentaneamente usurpado.

[Donksn]

PA65000 You are a fucking idiot.

[seralecic79]

M A L V I N A S A R G E N T I N A S

[carefreecrow]

seralecic79 = PUTA !

[pg1000000]

i love the bagpipes, beautiful instrument.

[carefreecrow]

Proved that British forces can still beat Fascist nationalists (remember the Junta?)

[patoruzitornnfkvkvbk]

Hay un error en el video el verdadero nombre del lugar es Islas Malvinas (territorio argentino)

[Kyle359]

The people who live there don't seem to think so...

[ajmcintosh]

nop estas equivocado es FALKLANDS y es territorio ingles ahunque no te guste

[carefreecrow]

GAY

[jerndy1969]

Should have bombed Argentina, the dirty fuckers where going to use napalm, a whole load of the stuff was found when the Argies surrended.

[seralecic79]

fuck you,english bitch.Thats islands are argentinean,always be argentinean.asshole

[jerndy1969]

No they won't! Britain will bomb Argentina if they tried another stunt like back in 1982.

[seralecic79]

Idiot.

[wiggy1988]

for fucks sake.

get over it

[PA65000]

If the Faulklands war proved anything it is the might and the power of London and Wallstreet banks.

[consort1883]

No yo are wrong it proved a decisive turning point in army strategy, never again would a battalion of men fight a battle without air support, artillery support and the right equipment. But in 82 the battle was turned due to Guts and determination of a handful of BRITISH Paras who had the determination to win even though the odds were in the Argies favour.

So learn some respect and History.

[PA65000]

cconsort1883, who said anything against the British troops? I, myself have alot of pride for the SAS who fought well during the Korean conflict. a war which few remember. Its Parliament and the Queen who have no respect for Englands own. The fact is evident in the hordes of nonwhite peasants directed by the Queen to flood into Anglo-Saxon working class societies as if their troubles werent enough.

[bennieboy21212]

#well i myself am from the falklands, and still ilve here and i am proud to be british and proud of what the british army did here in 82.

[carefreecrow]

GOOD ON YA BB

[PA65000]

I'm an American and I'm darn proud of what my people did here in 1776.

[DerPanzerKommander]

Tax evasion?

[PA65000]

America kicked Britians ass in 1776.

Today Britain must pick herself up and rise above the mental confines of Socialism to follow America's lead into the future.

Where have you beeen jack?

Your generation must pay the final costs by standing on the world stage as fools.

[hububub]

Cocaine smuggling?

[PA65000]

hububub you Canadians have got to realize that Argentina was formed in a fashion identical to the United states except in much shorter order.

What happens to Argentina happens to the U.S. and we Americans don't like socialists countries trying to dictate what they will do on our behalf.

Mess with America and Argentina pay the price through starvation.

[wiggy1988]

Americans in the Falklands?

are you retarded, theres nothing for America to be proud of anymore. Its a declining world power continually looking back to past conflicts to justify its claim to be the defenders of liberty. Time to take a reality check and allow China to take the limelight

[PA65000]

If America did not take up bitains request to threaten Argentinas economy the war would have painfully continued.

Americans made a critical error in allowing European socialism to permeate American politics but we have a Constitution to fall back upon and once we enforce it America will continue to be free.

You cn lift your brew to that.

[wiggy1988]

erm no it wouldn't

The Argentine Navy was useless against the Royal Navy, meaning that Argentine supplies to the Falklands could easily be attacked. The RAF was crippling the Argentine Airforce and the British Army had virtually decimated the Argentine Army.

In what mind is an economic THREAT more important to victory than a British task force that has just retaken back the Falklands with amazing speed. Argentina couldn't have continued...she was beaten.

[Pitcairn2]

What you mean the settlers of mainly English descent? who fought on both sides?

[TheDrummerboi94]

@bennieboy21212 please tell that to our government who would rather throw the FALKLANDS (hint NOT Las Malvina's) into the hands of the Argies just for the sake of saving money!!! IT IS WRONG !!

[pablodz81]

@bennieboy21212 i am proud of all the british children who died in ww2

[ektatherm]

"If the Faulklands war proved anything it is the might and the power of London and Wallstreet banks." If it proved anything,it was that small numbers of well trained and motivated troops will kick the s**t out of larger numbers of poorly trained and demotivated troops-regardless of the fact that the latter had all the advantages of defensive positions.

[PA65000]

So you're moving to Uruguay too..

[ektatherm]

Quite happy here thanks!One thing about "the multiculturalism of Britians new mankind" is that you can get a really good curry.

[gebar]

we all must pray for the young one who gave their lives in that stupid war, Argentinians or British it doesn't mather, they died because of the needs of power of Margaret Tatcher and the Military Junta. Paz para todos los muertos y ojala algun dia podamos resolver tofos los problemas sin violencia ni muerte. Con dialogo las Malvinas volveran a ser argentinas.

[wiggy1988]

well not exactly.

The Argies died trying to oppress people

The Brits died trying to liberate people

I dont like Thatcher, but she had no choice but to declare war. It wasn't for power, it was to defend British soil from an unprovoked attack

[hububub]

Hmmm...who is there to oppress in the Falklands. They're rocks with no purpose. not even a good location for refueling. No good ports. No people. Thatcher was a douche. Though. from one piper to the guy on the tube. Good deal. Nice crisp and clear especially in all that rain and wind.

[wiggy1988]

1-Strategic location

2-enough people to justify defending it

Good to see British apathy in full swing with some people today.

If you fail to grasp the simple concept that its wrong for the Argies to force the people of these islands into their country theres no hope for you...why dont you call yourself Chamberlain and be done with it

[hububub]

Because I'm as British as a Scotsman deported to Canada and a Hungarian who left shortly after Bela Kuhn took power. No there is no strategic location. It isn't in a position for any strategy. Too far in the Atlantic for refueling in any British holdings. Plus the Panama canal negates it as a major trade island. It had what 125 people on it? It would be like saying St.Pierre and Miquelon are strategic locations to attack Newfoundland. Or something dumb like that.

[wiggy1988]

1-So not being British this has nothing to do with you

2-They are strategic, there is suspected to be oil reserves in the waters surrounding the Island thus making it a useful asset

3-It has 3,000 people living there. If your suggesting we should have left them there under Argentine control, thats like suggesting leaving hostages under the control of the hostage takers in terrorist or criminal situations

[PA65000]

1.President Ronald Reagan convinced Margaret Thatcher not to bomb the Argentine mainland.

2. the island is an drug port for the transport of narcotics from india to the U.S.

3. If Britain truly cared about its citizens they would not have used them to inhabit the island to officiate it and use them for drug smuggling ops.

[wiggy1988]

1-so what?

2-Proof please

3-We didn't put them there they moved there a long time before...also proof please to substantiate these ridiculous claims that an Island with a massive military presence is somehow shipping drugs

[mrsoftytop]

always england . my bro fought there .he laid down his life

[haggishunter]

good ridence to the argy scum

[PA65000]

Actually, Margaret Thatcher was a sick human being. She wanted to begin the war by bombing the Argentine mainland. But thanks to president Reagan, who spoke with her over a phone call, she backed down. The purpose of the Faulkland islands war was to establish the island as a drug port for British ships transporting heroin from India.Argentina lossed the war before it began because the US and Britain threatened Argentina economically.

[brendancoul]

i thought they lost the War because they surrendered unconditionally on June 14th well perhaps maybe there are tooth fairys

[carefreecrow]

[seralecic79]

M A L V I N A S A R G E N T I N A S

[bennieboy21212]

you spell it Falkland Islands for your info.

[PA65000]

The Malvinas never belonged to the British. In the early 1900's The British crown told many Welsh and English sheep hearders that there was free land on an island off Argentina and they immigrated there. Meanwhile, The Argentine sheep hearders were busy going back and forth to and from the island over the years until few remained. So the English one day planted their flag on the island and declared it thier own. lol !

[Darkmind1970]

You obviously have no idea about the history of the place. The UK took over the Falklands in the 1830's. Cretin.

[PA65000]

If that comment was directed toward me I can assure you youre wrong.

The British have no claim to the Malvinas.

What's worse the British didnt even make use of the island to establish something fun.

The British govt essentually directed Welsh toward the island with false claims that the land was free.

Later after most of the Argentines had left they raised the Union Jack and declared the island British Territory.

[Darkmind1970]

Establish something fun? Um, like what? A giant fun fair?

The Falklands were named in 1690 by John Strong, during his expedition to the area. The name 'Malvinas' dates to 1764, when the French set up a small colony. A British settlement was built in 1766, on the other side of the Islands. The Spanish took over the French colony in 1766. In 1774 the British withdrew their settlement but kept their claim. In 1811 the Spanish also withdrew their settlement.

[Darkmind1970]

In 1828 Argentina founded a settlement and a penal colony. In 1831 the US Navy destroyed it, as Argentina was attacking American sealing ships in the area. Escaped prisoners and pirates were left on the Islands.

In 1833 the British reasserted their claim, allowed their existing settlers to stay and posted a governor. They then built a naval base, which is why a German naval squadron tried to attack the place in 1914.

Port Stanley was founded in 1843.

[PA65000]

Read Dope, Inc. by Konstandinos Kalimtgis for further insight.

[dougiedoc]

This lament was written for true heroes when your country was still populated by creole nomads. Indeed, the Falklands-Malvinas were lost even before Argentina was formed as a nation. Your real courage as a military nation was only truly tested in 82 in a war you could not lose, yet did - against a vastly inferior force, 8000 miles away from home. The fight was about honour, self-determination and justice, concepts which you as a man and Argentina as a nation have clearly yet to learn.

[seralecic79]

damm pirate.ARGENTINA FUCK THE QUEEN

[dougiedoc]

You are clearly retarded. Remember further that the 82 was only really fought so as to divert attention from the murderous Junta that was killing your own people. Subject the people of the Falklands to you animals - never my friend! PS the Queen sends hugs!

[Pitcairn2]

If she was 50 years younger, maybe..

[tonymulvey]

Totally agree show some respect for the the young men who fought and died from both countries.

[dietergrosse]

Fuck this asshole!! seralic I know it was tough but show some respect for both your soldiers and theirs
