To see Johnny Flynn perform one of his most beautiful songs on the most important commemoration in the western world is giving me shivers. 'Sadness for the ones who walked before me'. ❤
I knew this song before and immediately thought that it is wonderful and has great lyrics. Thanks a lot for sharing this video of this special performance at this special occasion and in a very good quality! 🙏🎸
Having a folk troubadour sing a beautiful song in a backdrop of cement and before a crowd of old men wearing medals seems so incongruent - - a better way to honor those fallen soldiers is to have a folk singer singing that beautiful song in front of a field of people with children and old people and multi ethnic people enjoying life.
These "old men wearing medals" are the ones who saved us from the horror of the Nazis, so it might be nice to show some respect. And "the background of cement" is the British Normandy Memorial where the fallen are honored in a beautiful way.
I have so much respect for this artist
he really did a wonderful job at such an honorable event

@@juliuskleipool6293 Yes it was very moving. Not sure how many fans knew about it so thought I'd share it. Take care.
@@ceririchardsmusic2182 yea good call! I am glad you shared this mate 😊
Couldn’t have asked for a better person to be at this occasion and sing this song. He’s a special talent x
This is so subtle and I commend the guy(s) who made the decision to have a "folksinger" sing solo - instead of something loud and brassy.
We still believe we can respect the past, lest we forget is put out at every remembrance service.......we have forgot Johnny
A beautiful song, an amazing singer and actor, and a humble person.
My new favorite, beautiful song
Just beautiful Johnny.
Thanks for sharing. Johnny Flynn was perfect here
Quite an incredible musician. A lyrical genius. Very rare these days. Thank you for uploading.

Thank you for your comment.
Not agreeing here. It was what it was - and it trod gently over those old mens' memories.
