The beauty of this is the unknown soldier may be west indian, Indian, australian, canadian or a kiwi, doesn't matter he was one of ours no matter what part of the commonwealth or UK he came from.
Every year since, on 11th November at 11am, we still have a 2 minute silence to remember the people who've lost their lives fighting to protect the lives of others and their freedoms.
The UK always remember all the people who gave their lives in battle EVERY year on the anniversary of Remembrance Sunday which points to Armistice day which was when the guns fell silent all across Europe on the 11th November 1918 signalling the end of the 1st World War.
🙏🙏🙏
At Least Indigenous Brits do!.......how much longer, i'm not sure Thanks to Successive incompetent Government Policies!
As an Army veteran may I say THANK YOU for your respect.
Man, this story always tears me up.
Thak you for your respectful reaction, We call this the Unknown Warrior because we do not know if the coffin contains a Soldier Sailor or Airman as the were present in the battles on land as well. Also the train carriage that brought the coffin to London was also used to carry the coffin of Nurse Edith Cavell who was executed by the Germans foe helping wounded Allied troops /airmen. There is statue to her in central London close to Trafalgar Square RM band have their own channel on YT
🙏🙏🙏🙏
The Cavell van was also used to carry the body of. Charles Fryatt, a merchant seaman executed by the German Navy. For ramming a German Submarine. His body was later moved to the UK and buried with military honours.
The Cavell van has been restored to how it was transporting the Unknown Warrior. Can be seen at Bodium Station museum in Kent.
Edith's story was particularly tragic. She was a wonderfuly brave Christian woman who lived her faith and conviction, even to death.
This is the only ground level Tomb in Westminster Abbey you may not walk on., that is the importance we place on the unknown worrior
The late Queen Elizabeth II's mother, also Elizabeth, laid her wedding bouquet on the grave of the Unknown Warrior as a mark of respect (her own brother had died in WW1 & was buried in France) and almost all Royal brides since then - Elizabeth, Diana, Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, Catherine, Sophie, Meghan etc - have also left their wedding bouquets there. It's a very moving place to visit.
No need for apologies, young man.... Your reaction is much appreciated. We need more young people like you to delve into these historic events, that gave our freedom today 🙏🏽🙏🏽
The red poppy flower at the Tower of London and in the wreath laid on the silver drums in the Royal Albert Hall in London is the symbol of remembrance in the UK. Paper poppies are on sale in October each year for people to buy and wear and the money from those sales goes to help the families or the ex-servicemen and women returning from War.
We hold what we call a Festival of Remembrance (a concert) each year on the Saturday evening before Remembrance Sunday at the Royal Albert Hall, (where you saw the Royal Marines in today's reaction) attended by the Prime Minister, high ranking members of our Government and, of course, the Royal Family. It's televised nationally. The next day, at every village, town and city around the UK, people assemble at their local War Memorial and remember those that laid down their lives for our Freedom. In London the King leads the Nation in a Service of Remembrance for those servicemen and women that died from UK and the 56 countries that make up The Commonwealth of Nations. Again it's televised nationally.
We always hold a two minute silence before the Ceremony begins at 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month when the Armistice was signed back in 1918. After the Ceremony ex-soldiers, sailors and airmen march past the Cenotaph in Whitehall to salute and remember those that never made it home. 10,000 marched this year and several were over 100 yrs of age. It's an emotional day for us all.
Thank you for your respectful reaction. You are a fine young man. I hope you will be feeling better soon. Love from the UK
The reason this great sacrifice will always be remembered in the Uk and Europe is because of the great loss we all suffered no one I know didn’t have a relative lost in either of the great wars. Not just in battle but at home when all our countries were bombed. We have many empty pockets of family history lost. So the world should never forget thank you for your kindness reacting to this ❤
Do not apologize for your silences during this video. It is a fit and proper reaction. Sometimes, "Speech is silvern, silence is golden."
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The American, French and British, unknown warriors/soldiers tombs. The soldiers in them each have their own countries highest medal and the other nations highest medal. The V.C., Medal of Honour and Legion of Honour.
A couple of things it never mentioned here are some of the points that I found most emotional. They are, the coffin had a medieval sword from the Kings own, attached to it.
The railway car had been used for 3 dead, 1 civilian, executed by the Germans, 1 none combatant (nurse), executed by the Germans, and of course, 1 soldier.
The stone that covers the grave is black marble taken from the Belgium border, the border we went to defend and the brass inlayed inscription on the marble is brass, made of ammunition 😢
It's also the only stone in the country on which NO ONE is allowed to step.
If you saw the Queens funeral. As they go into the Abbey, there are 2 black grave stones, they cross the 1st, but have to go around that one.
On the memorials here, we always have the words
LEST WE FORGET.
One of the best ways I've ever heard it put is...
Poor is the country that has NO Heroes.
Poorer still, the one that has Heroes........
..... AND FORGETS 😢
Still it goes on... sad.
Sadly, the reality of war is treated so flippantly by too many. The sacrifice of others, be they soldiers, firemen...
There's a really good video on UA-cam about the JFK memorial in the UK. The ONLY bit of the UK that is actually American soil. It's amazing 😊
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Thank you for producing such an evocative rendition of the history of the origins and current practice relating to our unknown soldier. As an Army honorary chaplain to the late HM the Queen, it was my privilege to be present when she attended the annual Armistice Service at Westminster Abbey. As an aside, I sympathise with you being a fellow pollen sufferer. Wishing you well.
TY for your honest and respectful reaction mate, a few facts left out of the video you watched were..The Unknown Warrior was buried in soil removed from the 4 main battle fields ..he was buried with a Crusader Sword affixed to the top of his coffin personally selected by the King himself..He was buried with a Victoria Cross and Medal of Honor awarded to him by The President Of The United States with the King awarding the Unknown Soldier buried at Arlington the same honor with a Victoria Cross..he is the only tomb in Westminster Abbey that it is forbidden to walk upon..every Royal Bride married in The Abbey to this day places her Bouquet upon his grave after the Ceremony is over.. It is by law mandated he will never be identified as he represents so many who gave the ultimate sacrifice for all. The Black Marble Belgian Stone that covers the tomb is engraved with melted down brass from ammunition from the First World War.
I hope that adds some extra information to the knowledge this wonderful video offered all.

In Westminster Abbey, you can walk over the tombs of kings, Queens, the rich and the powerful.
It is forbidden to walk on the tomb of the unknown warrior.
As it should be.

Respect brother. WW1 was a traumatic event for the UK and for Europe in general - so many suffered far worse than the UK. Deaths alone: UK 2%, France 4.4%, Germany 4.3% - while small nations like Serbia suffered up to 27%. It was the loss of an entire generation, casualties we had never really experienced, the slaughter of mechanised warfare. WW1 made a much lesser impact on the US - the casualties, while horrific, came from a much larger population base (0.1%) and a much shorter war. The Unknown Warrior, Remembrance Sunday are very cathartic and was much needed to heal those wounds. The Drums often confuse people - but a "drumhead" church service was when an alter was built from them out on the battlefields.
Well done young man I wish more younger people had your attitude
Thank you 🙏
There is only 16 villages in the whole UK that never lost some one in world war one
That is incorrect . There are 53 thankful villages in England and Wales . There are 14 doubly thankful .
Nobody is allowed to walk on the Unknown Warriors grave in Westminster Abbey. They must walk past it, either left or right.
Thankyou for your profound respect. That tomb remains important to our whole nation. The horrific losses of WWI have never been forgotten.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Since the Queen mother laid her wedding bouquet on the tomb in memory of her brother who was killed in the First World War every royal brides flowers are laid there.
Very good video! I got emotional and shed a tear - my dad was in the 2nd WW and served in North Africa so I really appreciate this - prayers for all the lost souls
Amazing reaction❤! New subscriber from UK 😛! Would you consider reacting to london new year fireworks. I seen you done Sydneys.
Much love and welcome to the channel! I'll definetley check that out 🤜🤛.
The British Unknown was the first such one others quickly followed ,so many grieving families never even knew where they loved ones were buried.
My great grandfather Thornton Beanland was in the veterinary Corp in ww1. He was injured and only had one lung. He spent 18 months in a military hospital, but all he wanted was to be with his mates ( Bradford pals) and his horses. 2 of my great uncles died. I have seen photographs of them bless them so much. Some of the Bradford pals were only 13 at the time.
Wonderful video. So much of what you said should be broadcast to all those who disrespect those who gave their lives for those of us alive today.
Everyone there were in the hope that this would be their lost family member, every grieving Mother could believe it may be her Son.. The whole Country had hope and love and respect. That pride we felt back then is still with us every November 11th at 11a.m we remember those that fell in both World Wars and that have fallen in wars to this very day. It was supposed to be the War that would end all Wars.. they did not die in vain PEACE WILL COME SOME DAY.
we have a 2 minutes silence on 11th day of the 11th month every year and everyone stands still
I wish that was actually true.
@@michaeldenton2503 i live up north and we do it!!
I have always respected the two minutes silence. Their sacrifice is why you are now reading this and how I am writing this.
Disappointed they didn't show the rest of the film,were they showed you the grave with the the lettering which was made from bullet cases brought from three Battle fields, it is the only grave in the cathedral that your forbidden to walk on even the Queen and now the King were forbidden. to walk on,they also missed out the then King George gave a ancient sword from his collection to be fixed on top of his coffin.❤
That's a different video, which I feel was more informative. This was the remembrance service at the Albert Hall.
if i recall correctly it was a sword from the royal armoury that dated back to the early crusades, one of the most significant and valuable pieces in the collection at the time, but such a fitting item to include to link the loss of life from the great war to the wider thousand years of history of military sacrifice in our country. a perfect example of the power of symbolism.
@@Simon-hb9rfYes it was a medieval crusader sword from the Royal Collection and the lettering is made from melted brass bullet casings. The only grave it is forbidden to walk on.
Very respectful as I'm a veteran
You heard them speak of those who had the Victoria Cross. You might want to check out: Jeremy Clarkson's What it takes to earn the Victoria Cross (Our version of your Medal of Honor)
Yes definitely Jeremy Clarkson one and the greatest raid with clarkson
Thank you just Thank you. Such a thoughtful reaction!!!
Much appreciation 🙏.
A Medieval Crusader's sword was taken from the collection at The Tower of London and placed on the coffin to be buried with him edit: The tomb is The Unknown Warrior as it could have been a soldier, sailor marine, or airman, 'Known only unto G'' @Not an Industry Artist
God bless you
As a 22 year veteran thank you for posting this, but more importantly for watching it with such respect. Many other posters should learn from your delivery and refrain from constantly interrupting deeply meaning videos with inane comments.
Thank you.
880,000 British died in WW1
And commonwealth troop's
888,246
@@redpill1063 No, Fred didn’t die. He was living it up with a French girl in Paris.
Your silence shows respect as words are not worthy for all the young men that lost their lives. English, German, French and many other nationalsmade the ultimate sacrifice
Thank you for reminding us. I think the inscription on the stone says Known only to God. We should never forget.
Your respect is admirable and I thank you for that. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
R.I.P.
I don’t know if you noticed the marine who laid the wreath didn’t salute. In the UK British forces do not salute without wearing the head gear and badge, nobody.
Also you’ll notice they made stack of drums in the centre. This used to be the only way religious services could be carried out on battle fields at one time by making an alter with the bandsmen’s drums it’s where the statement “a Drum Head Service” came from, on a battlefield.
Cheers Aah Kid! Thank you for your Respect!
Ex military Lance Corporal, anyone else tear up at the respect?
If you haven't done so already watch Dunkirk
We have immigrants in our country burning poppies when we honour our soldiers, thanks for the video
the unknown warrier is the only grave in westminster abbey that no one walks over.
Theres 2 of these in my opinion the other one was better.....had the original footage without the distraction of the music....
Thank you for this sharing of such an important symbol of what is Good about civilised nations - we care about those who offered their lives to make ours better. Sorry, worst “pollen attack” ever.❤
The only cynical thing I will say ,the Working Class came back to Britain after Fighting and dying for four years and wearnt prepared to take the Class system anymore. Revolution was a Real Concern for the Ruling Class, So one does after if this wasn't a ploy to district. Sorry for being so cynical.
Just wanted to thank you young man for your beautiful and emotional respect that you displayed in your reaction. It was pure and genuine. Take care, Tony here in the UK 🇬🇧
