As a hairy-arsed Yorkshireman I never considered myself a Royalist but when that lady died I cried like a child. She was my Queen for everyday of my life and now, for some strange reason I miss her. I have tears in my eyes as I type now. Thank you for your respect to our Queen and country. God save the King.
Paul you hairy arsed Yorkshireman Thank You for sharing that. One of if not the most polarizing figure in the words in the past few hundred years the Queen was. Thank You for the support.
I hope that "God save the King" will be sung with the same passion. Personally I doubt it - he has had a difficult start, has never really been liked. Personally a man who has to have his pyjamas ironed each night, takes his toilet seat on every visit abroad, has to have 1 inch on toothpaste measured on his toothbrush, has never been faithful to his wife (even though she was not his choice) and during the funeral for his "Mummy" when he and Camilla had to sign the official papers, called the man who was to take away the signed papers "slave" (I and my son heard it and Camilla was very embarassed) (what I have written was relayed by his personnel and royal biographer), well I don't like him anymore although at 4 years old, I was madly in love with him - lol !!!!
As a proud English man of 70 years I feel the same as you Paul I cannot accept that her majesty is no longer with us , I have shed so many tears for mum and dad but the queen passing I still can’t get my head around it
From the UK. Thank you sir for your sentiments. It isn't about a monarchy versus a republic. But a woman, who never expected to be Queen, who devoted the whole of her life to the service of our country. And now we have to say may she RIP and God Save the King.
Our sense of patriotism is quiet and dignified. Not many nations realise this until we have an occasion like this. Did you notice a few German flags in there? We both take the piss out of each other, but there's a mutual respect and understanding that we've both learned from the terrible losses caused by politicians against the common man. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
Human love and kindness, not politics, is what we need to heal and save the world. Love seeing such beautiful moments as this. Thank You for your support
@@olwens1368 well, we have to be tolerant. History has taught us the consequences of not being so. Some countries still haven't and never will, and they live in misery.
It amazed me that so many countries around the world mourned Her death, even countries outside the Commonwealth. For example, the Brazilian government declared three days of mourning.
We mourned her in America. My mom's dad came from England early on. I like tea with my sauerkraut ( my other grandfather came to America from Germany in 1899 to get away from the bizarre world there.
I'm a Yank and I loved the Queen. She didn't have an easy life and she had a family that was full of drama and scandal but in spite of that maintained her dignity and continued to serve her nation and commonwealth with courage and grace.
For me from a family that's lived on this small giant Island for generations the loss of Her Majesty the Queen was like getting hit by a sledge hammer totally unexpected emotional outburst was weird
Seeing the sadness pass through you as the National Anthem was in its early stages and the respect you clearly held for our late Queen was humbling. Then to see you smile and the joy you clearly had when it ramped up was just heart warming. Even in someone's absence its amazing we can still feel that someone is around us and will never leave us in shining moments such as that.
My heart broke when our Queen passed because she had always been in my life, even as a child.I lost my husband only a couple of years ago, but, I even shed a tear for her. We will never see the likes of her again.
I just found your channel and as a Brit I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. Jerusalem - well I have no words to explain the emotion I feel. You let this play out without interruption. God Bless you and your family ❤
Thank You Valerie. I have a music reaction channel that gets comments from many about how I don’t pause the songs and talk. I feel we can discuss later and let the beauty of the music (no matter the lyrics or genre) play out as intended by the artist. Happy to have you here and Thank You for the support. God’s Blessings to you as well.
It sometimes surprises people that we British are often seen as stoic, unemotional, stiff upper-lip types, but we certainly can(and do) be patriotic, emotional and immensely proud of our country. I really enjoyed your reaction to this, thanks for your respect and obvious emotion and enjoyment! I always find it fascinating to see reactions, it's intriguing to see how people from other parts of the world see us, and react to us, and it makes me look at what I am obviously familiar with, as an Englishman, and see so much of it with a different perspective. More power to you, squirrel, keep up the good work! All the best from the UK.....
Thank You Michael. I appreciate you all and find the British to be fun, engaging, and caring folks. Your humor drew me in and your compassion and embracement has made me feel so connected to each of you. Thank You for your kind words and support.
@@TheRealSquirrel we're a weird lot really, and it's often been the case that the rest of the world doesnt understand us....no big surprise there, we often dont understand ourselves, either! That's why I enjoy so many reactions videos, because it is fun, AND often very revealing, to see us through the eyes of others....I do enjoy your reactions, especially to British comedy, which is often a complete mystery to the rest of the world......... do please keep going with your reactions, they're so enjoyable.. all the very best to you....
Great reaction. Many people, including Brits, don't realise how closely entwined our monarchy is in our DNA. Cheers from the UK and a Happy Thanksgiving!
i always get emotional whenever i hear Jerusalem, i was born in London just a few hours after the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth, and just a few minutes walk away from Westminster Abbey, listening to God save the Queen had me crying like a baby, it still seems strange to sing King instead of Queen, i dont think i will ever get used to it. Thank you for the video, and the kind words about Queen Elizabeth.
This was the best reaction i have ever seen. A heartfelt message hitting some great points concerning our late Queen Elizabeth. I was teary eyed during that Albert Hall performance, again. Then teary hearing Our Squirrel's reaction with such depth of feeling. We love you Squirrel .. A Very Happy Thanks Giving Day to You Squirrel & Your Family. ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸
Paul Thank You. This message and so many others today really hit me well. It’s unbelievable how connected I feel to you sands of folks I have you to get to meet in person. When I talk about you all to my friends I often hear them say “these are just people commenting on a UA-cam video man, I comment on UA-cam videos and don’t feel I know the creator”. I smile and tell them that’s why it’s different, I do know them and they know me. Had a beautiful thanksgiving and I’m looking forward to the Christmas season with you all!
I just love the patriotic Jerusalem. It gives me goosebumps. Thank you for posting and for your kind words about our late Queen. You are 100% Brit now. xx
The crowd were in Hyde Park opposite The Royal Albert Hall, around 200,000 in the park and I think we would get around 8,000 in the hall for this it runs for a few weeks, it's also beamed live in different parts of the UK. Many never realised that we actually have more verses for our National Anthem
The Queen passed away during the week of the Proms. That night's concert became a tribute to her with only two selections - the piece of music she loved and had at her wedding, Elgar's 'Nimrod', followed by God Save the Queen, then silence.
Thank you for your respect, sentiments and for sharing with us your message at the end of the reaction. This year The proms was on when The Queen passed and the announcement was made in The Albert Hall, the dignity and respect let alone silence was in complete contrast to what we know the atmosphere of The Proms to be, which is usually as you reacted to. ua-cam.com/video/3aZna0-kEaQ/v-deo.html Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving today.
Happened to be the evening when the Philadelphia Orchestra was due to play. In the event they only played Nimrod and the National Anthem, because the concert was cancelled.
@@archiebald4717 That must have been a moment in time you will never forget and can't imagine what the atmosphere must have felt like. Thanks for sharing this.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your lovely family. Thank you for reacting to this special day that takes place every year and for your very kind comments regarding our dear late Queen who is so sadly missed. Take care Squirrel and stay safe. 🇬🇧
Jerusalem is a truly beautiful piece which never fails to pull at my heart. I have to ask if you had the lyrics up as it's not always possible to hear them in videos like this and I think you will find them to be quite beautiful.
Jerusalem is something that most English people don't know. It's not taught in most English schools. Unless you have been to private school or university. You won't hear it tomorrow when England play the USA.
@@neilgayleard3842 I've not been to private (public) school or university and I know Jerusalem, as do most people I know, so not sure where you got that idea from
Benny Thank You for your support. Each and every member of what I refer to as the squirrel squad means a lot to me and the conversations we all share are held close. Be well and welcome
You would also enjoy the last night of the Proms when they sing 'Rule Britannia', and 'Land of Hope & Glory'. Also have a look at this years Remembrance Service with Luke Evans (the actor) singing 'I Vow To Thee My Country'.
Thank You Gina for keeping me going and being such a great friend. You’ve inspired and motivated me through my journey so often. Much love and respect to you (and of course tootsie) 🐿️❤️🤗
Jerusalem always makes me cry , its amazing to see it have that effect on a person completely new to it. in view of your comments about positivity and massed voices i would suggest that you would love You'll never walk alone. This was a sixties song by Gerry and the Pacemakers, a group from Liverpool.It became adopted as an anthem both for Liverpool City and also Liverpool Football club and is sung on mass by the fans. It sounds amazing even though i am not from Liverpool and am not a huge football fan. You could react to the recorded version with that is linked to the city with video and then the live version that happened at Melborne in Australia when Liverpool FC played them. Reputedly this is 95,000 people in a stadium and the amazing thing is most of them are Australian. It goes to show the power of music. I think you will love this. Happy thanksgiving xx
Still brings tears to my eyes to hear 'God save the QUEEN'. Still hard to believe she's gone. But now we must say 'God Save The King'- especially with all the Royal Family is coping with at the moment.
The day the Queen passed Sept 8th. Heard the breaking news that she was ill during the politics show and by 1pm went into rolling news coverage, but Huw Edwards announcing the passing well, you need to see it
I am an Englishman and of course I've seen this video many times.. It's, 6 Dec 03-05hr, unable to sleep so l watched UA-cam and got your reaction to this video and thought your comments regarding our late Queen really moving. Now that my eyes are moist I should be able to sleep easier. If I have any more problems with insomnia I'll let you know. I trust you and your family of Squirrels enjoyed Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.. Stay Sefe Pal.
Damn Ezza I appreciate those words. You were one of the first I felt truly connected to through this channel. You’re one of the folks I truly hope to meet someday. You’re one of the ones that makes me see and feel how much this is worth doing. Much love my friend. 🐿️❤️🇺🇸
When you look around the world and see all the bad words spoken by the so called elites and leaders (of ALL countries) it's easy to despair for humanities future, then you come across normal people, like most of us who have no voice, no presence, and are reminded and reassured, the world is still full of kindness and love for one another and it renews your hope for the future!. Have a great day with your family Mr Squirrel!... PS, dont let them near your nuts, you might need them come February!
Mark so well put. Connecting on a human level is what can save us all. Had a beautiful celebration yesterday with over 30 people attending the meal. Amazing and so filling to the heart and soul.
The words of Jerusalem bring tears to my eyes. It should be the English national anthem. It made me sad hearing god save the Queen, I won’t get the chance to sing it again ( I’m 61yo). Thanks for the great video
Can't help but think If Jerusalem was sung before football matches we'd win more world cups !! Come on England..... Happy thanks giving to you and your country men 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Last night of the proms always special never miss it. Those standing at the front are the promenaders the parks from all around Britain have their own concerts but all join for this final night. It ends a summer of music concerts up and down the country.
Thank you for the sentiments you shared with us. It means a lot. I hope your family enjoyed listening to this on Thanks Giving and, more than that, I hope you had the best of times. Love from the UK
Happy Thanksgiving Tony. I have been following your channel and really enjoyed your journey through British culture. The Last Night of the Proms is a British Institution. This version of our national anthem is my favourite and never fails to make me shed a tear.
You were not alone in getting a little misty. Ex-soldier with a lifelong respect and devotion to Queen Elizabeth. Been hard - my Honk Kong born wife considered the Queen her British mum. Emotional stuff all around - thank you for the reactions. A personal favourite for the Proms would be Land of Hope and Glory (our unofficial anthem) - "Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance | BBC Proms 2014"
Ex Crab Air here. She was our Boss mate and never let us down. I was 5 when she became Queen so I have outlived her reign. What a terrific woman and what an example of duty and loyalty. And respects to you Sir.
I went to a 'Last Night at the Proms' concert in Germany in around 2004. It was a great experience and to see the concert hall full of German folks singing Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, God Save the Queen etc., and waving Union Flags was simply amazing.
Thank you for this U tube clip. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What you said about our beautiful Queen was just wonderful and it is so true, she was a remarkable woman, loved by so many and is sadly missed . Thank you again 😊
Yep. Tearful again at God Save The Queen! 🤦♀️. I knew I would be upset when she passed but I did not realise just how deep rooted she was in my heart. ❤️
I still well up everytime I watch these. I miss her so much, I just never imagined a world without her, and now it's here, it's a colder place than it was before. Thanks for covering these, they mean alot to so many.
Squirrel, you have a really nice way of expressing your feelings, and understanding, and empathising with others. You have a good heart. Bless you. If only there were more like you. Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Your kind and thought provoking words at the end Mr Squiz…. 😨😰 (I’m blaming it on those damned chopped up onions ….. not me getting over emosh….👀🥺) Hope you have/had a feast of a Thanksgiving with the wife and family and thank you for just being Mr Squirrel xxx 😘 I personally, will never stop missing our Queen - I cried at hearing the announcement, watching the vigils, at her funeral ceremony and when her lone piper played for the last time … 😥and I still find it hard to accept that she is no longer with us - Christmas Day will be strange - listening out for Her speech at 3.00pm, that has occurred since forever, almost - and just NOT seeing her looking calm, dignified and just being The Queen…
The biggest shoes ever to fill. Thank You for your kind message. We had a beautiful gathering yesterday and had over 30 friends and family at the dinner. Well worth the over 400 mile journey. Tonight we have a surprise party for my son Shane that should top off the trip perfectly. Thank You for your friendship and continued support.
Her majesty was a time keeper, my 77 year old mother said "I can't imagine the world without the Queen" and yet her we are. We may have a new King, but as a nation, we are still lost without our 'mother'. The loss of her will take years /decade to get over 😞
I too am truly thankful that I found you, you really have cheered me up in times of need more than you will ever know. Have a great Thanksgiving Tony and we reciprocate that love straight back at ya.
Thank You, Thanksgiving was a true blessing. Over 30 folks for a tremendous meal! You’ve been here with me and for me from the beginning and I truly appreciate you. Hope the coming holiday is joyous and cheerful. Hope to catch a stream soon when I can chill for a bit.
I worked for her majesty she love her people and even more as a soldier, her majesty loved all her of her armed forces and people from the commonwealth
Do not forget in Britain we owe allegence to the monarch not the government hence the love for the queen I am 71 and she has been here all my life god save her
Now watch Rule Brittania, from the same event (although it may be from a different year), usually involves a bit of fun with the audience, or "promenaders" as they are called.🇬🇧
As a hairy-arsed Yorkshireman I never considered myself a Royalist but when that lady died I cried like a child. She was my Queen for everyday of my life and now, for some strange reason I miss her. I have tears in my eyes as I type now. Thank you for your respect to our Queen and country. God save the King.
Oh dear, 59, from Derbyshire, She was all I'd ever know, but thought I was over it too, but hearing this choked me up again.
Paul you hairy arsed Yorkshireman Thank You for sharing that. One of if not the most polarizing figure in the words in the past few hundred years the Queen was. Thank You for the support.

Superb
As a big old British Royalist thank you for your kind words about our late Majesty.
She was a once in a lifetime individual. Thank You for the support Steven
Never been a royalist But love the queen to bits I think that's the difference with her, even the people who don't like where she's from respect her
Hearing God save the Queen brought it all back that she's gone. Don't mind admitting it I shed a tear hearing it again 😢
Our sense of patriotism is quiet and dignified. Not many nations realise this until we have an occasion like this. Did you notice a few German flags in there?

That was Benjamin Britten’s arrangement of ‘God save the Queen’, in my opinion the absolute best arrangement.
And apparently the version also preferred by Her Majesty.
Agreed. It's wonderful.
I couldn't agree more.
And sung at the correct tempo.
For me from a family that's lived on this small giant Island for generations the loss of Her Majesty the Queen was like getting hit by a sledge hammer totally unexpected emotional outburst was weird

The Queen passed away during the week of the Proms. That night's concert became a tribute to her with only two selections - the piece of music she loved and had at her wedding, Elgar's 'Nimrod', followed by God Save the Queen, then silence.

It's, 6 Dec 03-05hr, unable to sleep so l watched UA-cam and got your reaction to this video and thought your comments regarding our late Queen really moving. Now that my eyes are moist I should be able to sleep easier. If I have any more problems with insomnia I'll let you know. I trust you and your family of Squirrels enjoyed Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.. Stay Sefe Pal.
I'm thankfully for you bro, you ignite so many emotions, you make me laugh and help to cleanse my soul, don't ever stop 👍❤🏴
Damn Ezza I appreciate those words. You were one of the first I felt truly connected to through this channel. You’re one of the folks I truly hope to meet someday. You’re one of the ones that makes me see and feel how much this is worth doing. Much love my friend. 🐿️❤️🇺🇸
@@TheRealSquirrel there you go triggering emotions again 👍
When you look around the world and see all the bad words spoken by the so called elites and leaders (of ALL countries) it's easy to despair for humanities future, then you come across normal people, like most of us who have no voice, no presence, and are reminded and reassured, the world is still full of kindness and love for one another and it renews your hope for the future!. Have a great day with your family Mr Squirrel!... PS, dont let them near your nuts, you might need them come February!
Mark so well put. Connecting on a human level is what can save us all. Had a beautiful celebration yesterday with over 30 people attending the meal. Amazing and so filling to the heart and soul.
Thank you for this Sir….We miss the Queen so much…….
The words of Jerusalem bring tears to my eyes. It should be the English national anthem. It made me sad hearing god save the Queen, I won’t get the chance to sing it again ( I’m 61yo). Thanks for the great video
Brilliant, God I love being English,happy Thanksgiving fella to you and your loved ones
Thank You Bobbie
Thank you for not interrupting in these videos. Your respect is invaluable. Hey part of Scottish is a good thing
Can't help but think If Jerusalem was sung before football matches we'd win more world cups !! Come on England..... Happy thanks giving to you and your country men 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I agree, the lyrics are so powerful
Last night of the proms always special never miss it. Those standing at the front are the promenaders the parks from all around Britain have their own concerts but all join for this final night. It ends a summer of music concerts up and down the country.
Thank You appreciate the support
have a happy thanks given, love to all from an old Brit x
Thank you for the sentiments you shared with us. It means a lot. I hope your family enjoyed listening to this on Thanks Giving and, more than that, I hope you had the best of times. Love from the UK
Happy Thanksgiving Tony. I have been following your channel and really enjoyed your journey through British culture.
The Last Night of the Proms is a British Institution. This version of our national anthem is my favourite and never fails to make me shed a tear.
Thank You Paino. What a beautiful thanksgiving it was.
You were not alone in getting a little misty. Ex-soldier with a lifelong respect and devotion to Queen Elizabeth. Been hard - my Honk Kong born wife considered the Queen her British mum. Emotional stuff all around - thank you for the reactions. A personal favourite for the Proms would be Land of Hope and Glory (our unofficial anthem) - "Elgar: Pomp and Circumstance | BBC Proms 2014"
I’ve added that to the list of prom songs I need to do 😉. Thank You for sharing your story and for your support
Ex Crab Air here. She was our Boss mate and never let us down. I was 5 when she became Queen so I have outlived her reign. What a terrific woman and what an example of duty and loyalty.
And respects to you Sir.
Beautiful my friend.
Done with reverence and dignity. Thanks squirrel!
Thank you for being there too...happy thanksgiving ..love and blessings from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸
It’s been my pleasure truly. Love and Blessings right back at you from the USA 🇺🇸
Happy thanksgiving squirrel , I always watch the proms it's a fab way to show our patriotic side. 🙂
Thank You Clare
Thanks for those kind words for our Queen,I loved her dearly,thank you so much xx
You must try I vow to thee my country, vocal version. There are many versions but it will bring tears to your eyes. Subscribed from the UK.
I went to a 'Last Night at the Proms' concert in Germany in around 2004. It was a great experience and to see the concert hall full of German folks singing Rule Britannia, Jerusalem, God Save the Queen etc., and waving Union Flags was simply amazing.
Thank you for this U tube clip. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What you said about our beautiful Queen was just wonderful and it is so true, she was a remarkable woman, loved by so many and is sadly missed . Thank you again 😊
A great clip for people who ask "why aren't the British patriotic".
You darling young man.... you need to look at all the videos etc round about our and your beautiful UK ! Enjoy !!
Yep. Tearful again at God Save The Queen! 🤦♀️. I knew I would be upset when she passed but I did not realise just how deep rooted she was in my heart. ❤️
Totally agree.
Happy thanksgiving. And thanks for the joy of hearing music and voice that makes my hair stand on end. I am glad I found you. I love your sentiment. ❤
Thank You Irene. This was a truly magical piece. Thanksgiving was beautiful. A glorious meal with more then 30 in attendance.
bless you, we all still miss the Queen so much x
Jerusalem was our school song.
I still well up everytime I watch these. I miss her so much, I just never imagined a world without her, and now it's here, it's a colder place than it was before.
Thanks for covering these, they mean alot to so many.
Squirrel, you have a really nice way of expressing your feelings, and understanding, and empathising with others. You have a good heart. Bless you. If only there were more like you. Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Happy thanksgiving have a good one 👍 from the UK 🇬🇧
Thank You
Your kind and thought provoking words at the end Mr Squiz…. 😨😰 (I’m blaming it on those damned chopped up onions ….. not me getting over emosh….👀🥺)
Hope you have/had a feast of a Thanksgiving with the wife and family and thank you for just being Mr Squirrel xxx 😘
I personally, will never stop missing our Queen - I cried at hearing the announcement, watching the vigils, at her funeral ceremony and when her lone piper played for the last time … 😥and I still find it hard to accept that she is no longer with us - Christmas Day will be strange - listening out for Her speech at 3.00pm, that has occurred since forever, almost - and just NOT seeing her looking calm, dignified and just being The Queen…
The biggest shoes ever to fill. Thank You for your kind message. We had a beautiful gathering yesterday and had over 30 friends and family at the dinner. Well worth the over 400 mile journey. Tonight we have a surprise party for my son Shane that should top off the trip perfectly. Thank You for your friendship and continued support.
Happy thanksgiving, Squirrel and your family from Suffolk England
President Macron of France put it best "The British have lost their Queen, the rest of us have lost the Queen".
Well put
So nice ti hear
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the Squirrel family
Thank You David it was a beautiful day! Hope you’re well my friend.
Her majesty was a time keeper, my 77 year old mother said "I can't imagine the world without the Queen" and yet her we are.
We may have a new King, but as a nation, we are still lost without our 'mother'.
The loss of her will take years /decade to get over 😞
The Queen was the Grandmother of the world and now we are left orphans.
I too am truly thankful that I found you, you really have cheered me up in times of need more than you will ever know. Have a great Thanksgiving Tony and we reciprocate that love straight back at ya.
Thank You, Thanksgiving was a true blessing. Over 30 folks for a tremendous meal! You’ve been here with me and for me from the beginning and I truly appreciate you. Hope the coming holiday is joyous and cheerful. Hope to catch a stream soon when I can chill for a bit.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family and America.
Thank You Charles. It was a glorious day
Hi. Your video just popped up. Its sometimes difficult to find the right words but for so many reasons - thank you. Happy thanksgiving.
I worked for her majesty she love her people and even more as a soldier, her majesty loved all her of her armed forces and people from the commonwealth
Loved this - thank you from the UK
Good Man - much appreciated. Very kind words. Enjoy your family and your life. M.
Do not forget in Britain we owe allegence to the monarch not the government hence the love for the queen I am 71 and she has been here all my life god save her
So true and so like any other country. Godspeed to the Queen
Thank you Sir for this post, made me cry, we all miss our Lizzy.
Now watch Rule Brittania, from the same event (although it may be from a different year), usually involves a bit of fun with the audience, or "promenaders" as they are called.🇬🇧
Thank You I’ll look for that
