When I visit Ypres, at the Menin Gate, I place my hand on the wall and feel a lump in my throat, the tears in the eyes. The emotion is unescapable. Born in Flanders generations later, forever grateful. Ypres, the most sacred place in my country.
This is SO BEAUTIFUL from The National Youth Choir of Scotland!🏴❤🙏 CONGRATULATIONS to all these young singers, with this moving, passionate performance! *I had tears listening to it... the sadness & tragedy of war and lives lost.* Veronica Xx❤👏👏😪☘🇮🇪☘🏴❤
As a Fleming, I am moved by this beautiful song about my nation Flanders. Thank you.

I was there, five years ago today, to remember my two uncles who were killed near Ypres in 1915 and 1917.
I will never forget it.
