This honor was more than about music. It was about CLASS!! Throughout their entire career, they been a class act and have set the highest of standards with their fans and with the entire music industry. Perhaps the best ambassador that a nation can have. And Sweden recognizes that!! Thank you ABBA for your kindness to all your fans. And thank you Sweden for bestowing this well deserved honor to them!!
Could not agree more. Their example is one that many in public life could learn from. No tabloid rubbish, no court cases, no tell all books - just quiet privacy, allowing the joy of their creative force to say everything.
What an incredible achievement. ABBA are well deserving of these medals. Not only are they great ambassadors for their country, but they've given millions of people around the world so much pleasure with their timeless and wonderful music. Congratulations, ABBA.
Musiken är bra, men Björn är en egoististisk typ. Varför följde inte Agnetas och Björns gemensamma barn dit. Hans senaste flamma var där istället. Smaklöst. Agneta har offrat mycket pga. honom.
If any country owed a debt of gratitude to a few citizens then this was it. Timeless tunes ,legendary backstories and the manner in which they carried themselves in the industry was pure class.
No-one more deserving than our four heroes and friends, in my opinion!!! It must have been touching for the King and Queen as well, since ABBA and them go way back to the Royal Gala Performance of "Dancing Queen" on the eve of their wedding! I absolutely agree with you, BB, the hug between Agnetha and Frida was my favorite moment as well - so touching!!! And also to see each member of ABBA applauding for the next one, until they stood side by side!!! CONGRATULATIONS and HURRA for ABBA!!!
How wonderful to see them together again / I am from Sydney Australia and have been a fan since 1975 - I was 8 years old then / what an incredible legacy they have - they should be proud of their incredible work as individual artists and their combined work - the powerful beautiful sound that is Abba ❤
so true, I was a child, when they won the hearts of Europe and then of the world by their great inspiring music , their energy, strong will , happiness to make others happy and friendliness XXX
Congratulations ABBA on this greatest of achievements, so well deserved. Yes, seeing Agnetha & Frida embracing gave me cold shivers, the highlight for me too. What a great picture seeing them all standing together. This was fitting recognition of one of the biggest groups of all time. Thank you Abba, thank you BB for bringing it to us…
Extraordinary moment! So touching! I had tears in my eyes. I am so happy for them... and so grateful to see something like this! ABBA absolutely deserve this!
This brought tears to my eyes. So moving and so beautiful to see them all together and receiving such a richly deserved accolade. From now on we can say ABBA have reu'knighted'. Thank you Bobby for all that you are and for everything you do to keep us in touch with ABBA. Sending you love from the tip of Africa ❤.

I am a diehard ABBA fan. Most of my favourite songs are from ABBA. One of my grandson is named Bjorn. There will never be anyone like you. You will always live in our hearts forever. Keep going. With lots of love.
If this is the final time ABBA get together in public, and lets hope not, what a crowning achievement for them! This was about the four incredible individuals who comprise this incredible group. Simple, dignifiied and richly deserving of ABBA, a totally opposite feeling than the last public recognition they got not so long ago. And thank you, Bobby's Brother, for providing those of us a fair distance away, like me in Canada, a glimpse into this wonderful day and for all you do on your channel to keep us in the loop on all things ABBA!
I am still emotional about what i experienced with this ceremony, ABBA awarded the highest honour of their lives by the King and Queen of Sweden the same King and Queen they performed Dancing Queen for ,for the royal wedding in 1976.This was ABBAsolutely perfect beautiful karma for their achievements and service for Sweden their Monarch and their people,I honestly believe that ABBA propelled and highlighted Sweden into world attention and significance and of course love,love the very emotion that defines ABBA.You can keep your Grammies,Emmys and Academy awards ,THIS is what ABBA DESERVES this is the the ultimate honour and definitive award. ❤ ABBA.
ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. ABBA also has five Grammy nominations. The Grammys are nominated and/or awarded by one's industry peers. The Order of Vasa is awarded by the Head of State.
ABBA band never will forget the beautiful time they spent together..their successful works from 55 years saying that because all their songs are timeless ❤️that’s why when they meet now, they don’t feel that they was far from each other… this is the life 🍀 All cannot forget each other ❤️🍀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️💖🎶🎶
Abba haben es verdient für ihre großartige wundervolle Musik.Herzlichen Glückwunsch Abba für den Orden.Abba ist die beste Gruppe der Welt.Die Musik ist immer noch Spitze,ich liebe ihre Musik.Danke Abba für die Musik.
Je n'ai pas de mots, je suis tout simplement fière de mes 4 chouchou. La cérémonie était tellement magnifique que j'en ai pleuré. Le moment du câlin entre Agnetha et Frida était particulièrement touchants. Un bel hommage, et grand titre pour un si grand groupe. Bravo ABBA je suis fière de vous. Merci pour la musique.
6:11,"now old and grey"...but class,legendary,humble,still relevant,and i think more critically "acceptable" and powerful than ever.What a 'happy ending fairytale'.
I watched it live on SVT stream in Manchester. Unfortunately I don't speak Swedish, but it didn't diminish the experience. I made up the tributes and exchanges in my head and was so happy for them. 🕺💃💃🕺 🏅🏅🏅🏅

I found out... just now, that tears taste the same. Whether one is old or young. The heart may bear scars, but there is always room for the joyful feeling of the moment. I feel joy for the members of ABBA. I feel joy the way all friends do. Thank you, Bobby's Brother. ❤
Was für eine Ehre für die Vier. Wie schon bei der Premiere von I still have faith in you und Don' t shut me down konnte ich nicht verhindern, dass mir Tränen kamen. Wir werden keine gemeinsamen Auftritte der Vier mehr sehen. Für mich war das heute ein Abschied - Ihre Musik wird für immer bleiben. Immer in meinem Herzen.

It was lovely to see ABBA united together to receive the highest honour in Sweden. I ve loved their music since I saw them win Eurovision. I went to the Abbatar concert in London. So amazing and great to see ' 'ABBA' perform.Thank you for the music. Love David Axtell

Really glad that all four attended the ceremony. It is truly an honour for them. Benny seems to have lost a bit of weight. Perhaps he's been working out a bit.
Thank you BB for putting together this wonderful recap of today's Order of Vasa ceremony. A fitting tribute to ABBA, who were such deserving recipients of this honour.🥰
They are going to be always in my memory and they always be my first choice when i want to ear music....50 yrs listening them...Love them so much....❤😊

I will always be an ABBA Fan, even though they haven't sung together for a long time. That's why I enjoyed the last album "Voyage" all the more. It was incredible how Agnetha and Anni-Frid were still in top form vocally. I still listen to the LPs and singles and CDs. The royal order is a true recognition of their musical achievements. I am very happy for the four of them. I am very proud and congratulate them most warmly. 🍀💐❤
Times of Joy, times of sorrow: the way old friends do! What an emotional and touching moment seeing our ABBA members receiving their so deserved Orders! Congratz to them all ❤!

What a triumphant and uplifting story of our (still) heroes. The story is told so beautifully …. So touchingly, it brought tears to my eyes. At 59, I crave their music and adore them as much as I did when I was 8. I lived my life through those glorious lyrics and every note, every melody sung, made me happier and happier. Back in the day where I lived, young boys never admitted they loved ABBA but let me tell you…I did and applauded them, defended them and raved about them! Agnetha, Benny Bjorn and Frida, blessings forever for always being there through good times and bad. XX Beau
The True Royalty of music has been knighted for their unparalleled contribution to this planet, uplifting and healing countless souls in every form who are tuning in eternal bliss of 4 angels in human form who are still blessing Creation and beyond 😍 We are beyond blessed to be their contemporaries and witnessed their priceless greatness and invaluable contribution to music and art.

How emotional and wonderful, and so richly deserved! The embrace between Agnetha and Frida brought tears to my eyes. Seeing them all honored and together I imagined them thinking that they truly were on a summit humble and grateful to have survived 🥰
A very understated ceremony. Very Swedish. It was lovely to see everyone together again, and to see Agnetha and Frida so sweetly affectionate. Also, how lovely and classy does Her Majesty, Queen Silvia look?? A very regal woman indeed.
Yes, it was simple, without any pompous stupidity. Sometimes, less is more. The royal couple and the ABBA members have grown old together. How cool is that? Silvia is a real Frida friend who helped her through the tragedies she endured at the end of the '90s. I absolutely love the fact that Frida brought Görel along.

And thank you, Bobby's Brother, for providing those of us a fair distance away, like me in Canada, a glimpse into this wonderful day and for all you do on your channel to keep us in the loop on all things ABBA!
I am still emotional about what i experienced with this ceremony, ABBA awarded the highest honour of their lives by the King and Queen of Sweden the same King and Queen they performed Dancing Queen for ,for the royal wedding in 1976.This was ABBAsolutely perfect beautiful karma for their achievements and service for Sweden their Monarch and their people,I honestly believe that ABBA propelled and highlighted Sweden into world attention and significance and of course love,love the very emotion that defines ABBA.You can keep your Grammies,Emmys and Academy awards ,THIS is what ABBA DESERVES this is the the ultimate honour and definitive award. ❤ ABBA.
From the United States: I totally agree. ❤
ABBA won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. ABBA also has five Grammy nominations. The Grammys are nominated and/or awarded by one's industry peers. The Order of Vasa is awarded by the Head of State.
Thank you! Well said! ❤️
Yeah... you are right and spot on❤
Thankyou for that comment, very well put!
Their music makes my memories of the 70s come alive. They are synonymous with that time for me.
ABBA band never will forget the beautiful time they spent together..their successful works from 55 years saying that because all their songs are timeless ❤️that’s why when they meet now, they don’t feel that they was far from each other… this is the life 🍀
All cannot forget each other ❤️🍀🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️💖🎶🎶

Je n'ai pas de mots, je suis tout simplement fière de mes 4 chouchou. La cérémonie était tellement magnifique que j'en ai pleuré.

A blessed day for ABBA ♥️ Congratulations!👏🌟I love you forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🎶🇸🇪
I watched it live on SVT stream in Manchester. Unfortunately I don't speak Swedish, but it didn't diminish the experience. I made up the tributes and exchanges in my head and was so happy for them.

Was für eine Ehre für die Vier.
Wie schon bei der Premiere von I still have faith in you und Don' t shut me down konnte ich nicht verhindern, dass mir Tränen kamen.
Wir werden keine gemeinsamen Auftritte der Vier mehr sehen.
Für mich war das heute ein Abschied - Ihre Musik wird für immer bleiben. Immer in meinem Herzen.

Really glad that all four attended the ceremony. It is truly an honour for them. Benny seems to have lost a bit of weight. Perhaps he's been working out a bit.
Congratulations to the members of ABBA for this prestigious award. You are so deserving of this.
Four outstanding artists and four wonderful human beings! Congratulations! I cried, too … Thank you, Bobby‘s Brother!
Truly deserved. Congratulations to ABBA and all recipients of other awards from their Royalty.
It's a wonderful group that has thrilled the old generation and surprisingly still in vogue for the younger ones! You people are awesome!
"Dancing Queen" and "Mama Mia" my most favourite! 😂😂😂
Thank you BB for putting together this wonderful recap of today's Order of Vasa ceremony. A fitting tribute to ABBA, who were such deserving recipients of this honour.🥰
They are going to be always in my memory and they always be my first choice when i want to ear music....50 yrs listening them...Love them so much....❤😊
Ich bin mit ABBA aufgewachsen und mit ihnen alt geworden.
Ich freue mich so sehr mit ihnen über diese königliche Auszeichnung.

Can you tell me why you have written this twice ?
@@robertgarrett4046
Damit Du mir diese Frage stellen kannst 😘
Spaß … ich hatte vergessen, daß das System ja mittlerweile automatisch übersetzt.
That’s why 😉
ABBA was definitely the most influential musical phenomenon of the Twentieth Century. The world will long remember their contributions to the world of entertainment. God bless them all. A well-deserved honor to them.

SO well deserved for probably one of THE best bands in the World - EVER.
Well done ABBA.
I will always be an ABBA Fan, even though they haven't sung together for a long time. That's why I enjoyed the last album "Voyage" all the more. It was incredible how Agnetha and Anni-Frid were still in top form vocally. I still listen to the LPs and singles and CDs.
The royal order is a true recognition of their musical achievements. I am very happy for the four of them. I am very proud and congratulate them most warmly. 🍀💐❤
Times of Joy, times of sorrow: the way old friends do! What an emotional and touching moment seeing our ABBA members receiving their so deserved Orders! Congratz to them all ❤! And that happening on my weddingday anniversary. I'll never forget the date and carry this moment forever in my heart! Thank you Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid for your music, joy, love and inspiration! And thank you, Bobby's Brother, for bringing this moment together as always in a wonderful video!
Thank you! Congratulations on a most wonderful Wedding Day.

IT MAKES ME FEEL. EVER SO PROUD OF ME BEING HALF SWEDISH. GOOD GOING. SWEDEN!REAL GOOD GOING. ABBA! OH,WHAT A TREMENDOUS. GREAT GROUP YOU ARE! GOOD LUCKGOD BLESS YOU ALL!
What a triumphant and uplifting story of our (still) heroes. The story is told so beautifully …. So touchingly, it brought tears to my eyes. At 59, I crave their music and adore them as much as I did when I was 8. I lived my life through those glorious lyrics and every note, every melody sung, made me happier and happier. Back in the day where I lived, young boys never admitted they loved ABBA but let me tell you…I did and applauded them, defended them and raved about them! Agnetha, Benny Bjorn and Frida, blessings forever for always being there through good times and bad. XX Beau
The True Royalty of music has been knighted for their unparalleled contribution to this planet, uplifting and healing countless souls in every form who are tuning in eternal bliss of 4 angels in human form who are still blessing Creation and beyond 😍 We are beyond blessed to be their contemporaries and witnessed their priceless greatness and invaluable contribution to music and art.

I am 62 yr old fan of abba. Wish u all the best n long life . U r best of all the best of all musical bands. Regards Engr.Badiul Alam. Cox"sbazar. Bangladesh.
How emotional and wonderful, and so richly deserved! The embrace between Agnetha and Frida brought tears to my eyes. Seeing them all honored and together I imagined them thinking that they truly were on a summit humble and grateful to have survived 🥰
Yes, their embrace got me too
Спасибо ABBA! Слушала их в 20 лет, теперь мне 69 и я понимаю их по новом. Браво, дорогие!
A very understated ceremony. Very Swedish. It was lovely to see everyone together again, and to see Agnetha and Frida so sweetly affectionate. Also, how lovely and classy does Her Majesty, Queen Silvia look?? A very regal woman indeed.
Yes, it was simple, without any pompous stupidity. Sometimes, less is more. The royal couple and the ABBA members have grown old together. How cool is that? Silvia is a real Frida friend who helped her through the tragedies she endured at the end of the '90s. I absolutely love the fact that Frida brought Görel along.
@@6549MarciYes! And she looks great as well in her bright flower dress, similar to what she wore at Voyage. I wonder who the other two were with Frida.
@@TheFridaFan The tall girl is one of the Ruzzo's twin daughters. I don't know who the lady with glasses is.
@@6549Marci 'sometimes less is more" so well said here!
ЛюбимыеABBA,красивые,такие долгожданные,самые лучшие!Поздравляем с наградой!
Well said. It is so amazing that ABBA transcended political ideologies and was popular behind the Iron Curtain.
Заслуженно получили награды! Одна из лучших групп на Планете! Красивые голоса, красивые песни, которые слушаются с удовольствием! Замечательная группа ABBA! Здоровья Вам всем! 👍👏💕💐💐💐💐
I am from Australia, I have tears in my eyes. Speechless and lost for words. I love them all and I shall always do. At 72 I still dance to their music.
I am so happy to see them. They deserve this honour.
Blessings & love ❤️ 💗❣️💕 xxxx
Beautiful moment... congratulation ABBA. ABBA is officialy royalty now. But they have been royalty with the fans they have in the whole world. Love and greetings from Aleksandra, Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷 ❤️ 😊
WOW VERY well deserved!!!
