My life as the Queen’s piper - BBC News

- Опубліковано 5 тра 2024
- Each morning at exactly nine o’clock, a little-known ritual takes place in grounds of where the Queen is in residence.
For 15 minutes, a lone piper in Highland uniform strikes up a selection of tunes below the monarch's window - a position called the Piper to the Sovereign.
Scottish veteran Pipe Major Scott Methven held the role for four years, a job often considered one of the most coveted in the piping world.
From humble beginnings growing up in Stirling, Scott joined the army and travelled the world. Upon returning from service in Afghanistan, he was chosen to be the Queen's personal piper from 2015 to 2019.

Playing the end of her funeral must have been extremely emotional and difficult.
I believe it was a different piper, other sources are saying he was the piper up until 2019
It probably brought him back to when he lost his wife too. He did a lovely job though.
@@WpGaming1 You're right: Paul Burns played at her funeral... and her last morning alive.
It was very difficult for us too
He was the guy who played the Queens funeral as he walked off the final time as her casket was lowered into the vault. Must have been emotional
He didn’t play at the Queen’s funeral. He was no longer the Sovereign’s piper by that point.
It was Burns.
As an American of Scottish descent, the lone bagpiper going through the hallway left me in chills. To think she is no longer among us is utterly unbelievable.

E sim, a rainha do século e de toda a nossa vida,fará muita falta😞
It was like sitting alone knowing that u have lost a precious one.... It was the queen who died but brain was remembering all those who we have lost in our lives
What a humble kind gentleman! Loving what he's love to do, I'm sorry about your wife. Bless your heart ❤️
You are lovely, Scott.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your wife. She had a light shining through her.
He exudes joy.
He seems like a down to earth, likeable guy too. What an honour.
What a tribute to the warm, caring heart of the Queen to help in such practical ways when his family was so fragile.
I've loved the sound of the pipes since I was young and even better when I discovered there was a tune in there if you listened carefully!!!
caring heart if the queen?😂 old lizzie didn't care about her paedo son's victims

“He’s out of touch but in spirit”

I would like to thank him from the deepest of my heart for his service and touching mine and surely many other hearts.
Just watched Scott on the One Show, what a likeable guy, nice to hear the stories of his time spent with the Queen.
Thank you for keeping the Bantz with our late Queen. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful to hear you play your bagpipes for her majesty every morning is priceless 💚💜
I assume this was the piper who played that haunting final farewell at her Magestie's burial.
What a lovely humbled man, sorry to hear about his wife.
The eternal Queen of our hearts!
The sound of the pipes is so sweet and the gentleman is skillful with his work ,also he is talented 😍🌹👍👌❤️🙏

I served in the Argylls with Scotty, brilliant piper and man. Tragedy what happened to his wife😥
He was my school pipe major ❤️

It must be so difficult to play at the end of the queen's funeral! What used to wake her up was now being used to lay her down to eternal rest!
You did a very good job on this day sir 👍🏻🇬🇧🏴

I think playing Sleep, Dearie, Sleep was the best choice for the funeral. It made me cry.
Great mini doco... God bless you Sir, and Her Late Majesty.
Beautiful.
I do love Scotland and Scottish culture! Very beautiful.
you gave your life to her, and she gave her life to you
nothing more, nothing less,
What more can you say,
Lovely Job ! bring tears to my eyes She a true Queen , you a true piper !
Very sad that he is no longer gets to pipe the queen! how are you Margie?
"....then I had to ask my wife" ❤
What a decent human. I would buy this man a scotch and half. Top fella 👍
Scott,...it’s all Brilliant!! As an old duff piper since mid last century I’m slightly curios..to ask why the ‘reverse’ tuning positions on your bass drone. I understand the mechanics of it..but it’s not often seen. What pipes are you playing that make these positions more enjoyable? Many thanks for sharing your experience.
good for you Jock, I wish I could play the pipes. Thank you for yourv service in Afgan.
Bless you 🌸
How on earth has this only gotten 86k views! What a story and a potential Book!

My late Father was in the 2nd Battalion of the Argylls so good to hear the thoughs of an ather Argyll.
Until now I still can't believe that Queen Elizabeth II is gone. Even if I'm not from England, I'm deeply affected by her death.
Fantastic insight 🇬🇧
Beautiful Story respect to those who serve over land and sea God bless you my son oh a man ye'll be GSTQ❤️🇬🇧
Amazing!
Adoramus Te Domine
May we know Him more clearly and love Him more dearly ...
After a real long time, there's finally a news piece about your own culture and people native to your land!
Me encanto el.principio del entierro cuando la Guardia Escocesa custodio su ataud.Que preciosidad!!!.
No tengo palabras para describir la emocion de ese precioso momento!!.
En España, en Galicia tambien hay Gaitas porque son el mismo pueblo!!!.
Asturias tambien tiene Gaitas.
Y Bretaña.
Son el mismo pueblo.Amantes de la Musica con un paisaje similar.Verdes praderas. Rios preciosos y Naturaleza.
Muchas personas con sangre celta en Gran Bretaña comparten el mismo ADN con la gente vasca. Tal vez esa es la razón por la que muchos de nosotros, los británicos, amamos tanto a España.
Respect sir 🇬🇧
What a grand man
Great story!
as an Englishman with a welsh wife a Scottish and English son having lived in Scotland fro 20 years politics aside we are a great nation lived in Aberdeenshire Edinburgh bone'ss top man you should be proud of yourself

Ty

It was nice to work with you.
I needed subtitles to understand this.
very sad that he no longer gets to pipe the queen…
"He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice..." (from the Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska; partial record 1146)
Remember the pipemen at prince Philips funeral, it was awesome
Now this is the kind of thing we like to see. Let's face it the news is always something bad, something negative. Either someone has died somewhere or some country is going to shit. But there is good news out there that deserves to be reported on and shared, and this is a fantastic example.
@Ewww Humans unless your dumb you’d know she has nearly no power over our policies she’s just ceremonial and we have a monarchy for ceremonial and cultural tradition in this country this is a democracy so yes we do like hearing about a queen who DOES NOT control us
Meanwhile Andrew is served papers and the BBC don't mention it on UA-cam, funny that.. 🤔
@@DTG-classified not true, the Queen is the biggest land owner on the planet, do you really think that doesn't come with power? 🤔
@@hanselmansell7555 u must be dumb too she owns land but them countries can become republics if the people chose to she can’t do nout about it same with the Uk could become a republic but the Uk Canada Australia and New Zealand like her as there head of state and are happy to remain constitutional monarchies
constitutional monarchy means she and her power are limited and controlled by the constitutional the Uk isn’t a democracy or a republic like America it is a constitutional monarchy that’s a fact however with that word “constitutional” it means our constitution our laws can be democratic or undemocratic and luckily the Uk is democratic
she hasn’t got authority it’s just ceremonial and all she does now is sign and read letters the government writes.
Also if she or her descendants went rouge I’m 100% confident they’d be sorted out by the government who’d take the power away
she has the same power as bill bates she can’t just make laws without there been a debate because that’s undemocratic please wake up and realise her power is only ceremonial she’s now that of a tourist attraction and has the same amount of power as ordinary rich people why do you think prince Andrew hasn’t be headed or asked his mummy to declare war on America or to shut the British press oh that’s it because she has no power it’s all ceremonial.
If the Uk went to war it would be the government that declares war but she’d be the one saying we declare war because why SHE IS CEREMONIAL NOT LEGIT POWER SHE IS CONTROLLED BY THE CONSTITUTION
I hope he plays on Monday.
