The most hauntingly beautiful piece of music... though many have fallen, they are not forgotten. My father was an Australian Army Artillery Gunner in the Torres Strait during WWII. He and eight school friends enlisted together, but tragically, only he and one of his mates survived the war.
Brilliantly done, so clear and haunting. Thank you. I first heard this as a young boy at the funeral for my Uncle Alden. He , and all his brothers, fought with the Canadian, New Brunswick, North Shore Regiment (raised from young lads from the Mirimachi area), and landed at Normandy. They left one of the brothers there, killed as he stormed ashore. Hearing this, and seeing the dignity with which the "old" veterans laid their comrade to rest, inspired me to become a soldier. Again, thank you for this video.
Played so beautufully. I remember how well the 4 played Last Post at our beloved Prince Philip's funeral and how haunting it sounded in St George's Chapel.
Lest we forget all those who died in the war so we may live in peace and freedom we enjoy today they shall not grow old as we are left grow old age not weary them Condemned at the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them lest we forget
Great performance. I first heard "Last Post" in the movie, "Gunga Din" I found the sheet music for trumpet in the same key as most of these videos. I have started playing again and this is the song I want to master. Thank you for posting.
That’s the Royal Navy Uniform. Very historic. I’ve got a photo of my grandad who served in WW2 in the Royal Navy with the exact same uniform from 1943. He was torpedoed by U-124 and shipwrecked 1500 miles of the coast of Brazil. His story on how they survived in a life boat and rescued by an American merchant ship should of been made into a movie.
@@TheRubiconInMe If you want I have his story saved to my notes and could paste them on here it would only take seconds if you are interested in it. It’s about 30 second to a min reading time.
@@TheRubiconInMe Sure, It’s a lot more detailed and graphic but I have to tone it down and remove the details the YT censor would censor me for. My grandad was hit by 2 torpedos in WW2 from the Nazi U-boat 124, commanded by Nazi commander Jochen Mohr. The Royal Navy warship my grandad was shipwrecked on was called H.M.S Dunedin and was sunk about 1500 miles from Brazil. He got shrapnel all down his legs from the explosion. He was on a life boat for 7 days and nights and at night time he could hear the sharks killing off and eating his friends in the darkness of night but was powerless to help them. He woke up in a Trinidad hospital after they drifted hundreds of miles and the Nishmaha, a US merchant ship en route from Takoradi to Philadelphia, found them and rescued them. If he had died I would not be here to tell you his war story, it took him about 20 years to open up and finally tell my family what had happened out there but we didn’t push him for his account, we knew we just had give him the time he needed to open up and tell us his account in detail. He suffered all of his life because of the shrapnel wounds and he also had chunks of flesh bitten out of his left arm from barracuda because he fell unconscious and his left arm was hanging over the side of the lifeboat. That generation was a special generation, we owe everything to them so telling their war stories is a way to keep their memory alive an honour them all. He was always a sailor and a navy man and loved the sea so he wanted to have his ashes to be put in the ocean we honoured his last request. That was in the mid 1990s. navigate maria in sæcula sæculorum grandad ❤️🇬🇧

THERE IS ONLY ONE WHO CAN PLAY THE BUGLE LIKE THAT AND THAT'S A ROYAL MARINE....
lol, any trumpet player can do this. its not even the hardest version.
I´m sure nobody can play it with the same hearts intent. Beautifully done.
@@Francois_DupontPlaying a military bugle or a trumpet is not comparable .
@@Francois_Dupont
They play bugles on "Soldier an' sailor too" and its also a march.
@@willy_wombat lol, you are a joke. Trumpet and Bugle is the exact same. the only difference is the pitch.
Brilliantly done, so clear and haunting. Thank you.

Very stirring to hear
Hands down the most striking Last Post I’ve ever heard.
Makes me damn proud to be English
Thank you. 🏴
Gotta love the uniform she’s wearing

We should have booked this Royal for our Remembrance day parade coz the bloke we got was a little rusty.
As today is part of history of the United kingdom the Duke of Edinburgh for queen and country goodbye. God save the Queen sunset and last post
can you play the philippine version of the last post? we call it the pahingalay bugle call. hope you could film while paying it
Why is the British sailor saluting in the American manner? I thought the Brits saluted open palm only?
The Royal Navy salute palm down as they often had dirty hands from working on the decks of ships. The American military copied this I think
