I went to a Rememberance Service in St Paul's Cathedral a few years ago and this was played on the organs as the old soldiers made their way into the Cathedral, carrying their Colours and wearing their medals with such pride and their expressions of sorrow and remembrance for their fallen comrades and I can never hear this without a tear coming to my eye for all the pain, suffering and sorrow in the world.

My wife says this is a love song - I want it played at my Funeral (hopefully not for a long time!) I have loved and played it for years!

Thank you for the great performance.
