The bridge is named after Johnny Frost whom I had the privilege of meeting as a child in 1964. He and my father had been officers together in the Cameronians. Sometime after the war Frost had been transferred to Scotland to command the 52nd Division. It was at his house in Cardross that we met and it was there he asked my dad if we would take care of his black labrador, Poppy, as he was returning to England to take up another post. 60 years on I still have vivid memories of that day and bringing Poppy to her new home in Glasgow. The video above is a poignant reminder and commemoration of the sacrifice many gave at Arnhem in those dark days of World War 2.
The HQ of the 52nd Division was based at Park Circus, Glasgow (now the base of Glasgow University RAF Air Squadron - a very grand building). I went to many parties in the seventies while a student there. The Cams were a very fine regiment. I also joined the regular army.
Schön , danke , möge diese Tradition immer erhalten bleiben, bin zwar nur Deutscher ,habe aber in den British Forces Germany 1998-2014 im 28.Engr.Rgt. Hameln Station gearbeitet , bei Bagpipes & Drums werde ich auch Stolz ,auch das ich bei den Streitkräften arbeiten durfte und ich genommen wurde . Als Ehemaliger Soldat der Bundeswehr 1989-1997 , Salutiere ich vor der Marschabordnung und den Gefallenen zu Ehren . Mögen alle Gefallenen vergangener und aktuellen Kriegen in Frieden Ruhen. Wir werden Euch niemals vergessen ,Ihr lebt in unseren Herzen weiter .
My Dad served with the Royal Engineers throughout WW2. They were on route to Arnhem to build a temporary landing strip but got cut off but the units did not get captured Respect to all those brave soldiers and all the military
A marked difference to the march in 1994, then it was Arnhem Veterans, obviously not possible today. Each anniversary march was in complete silence in reverence to the fallen. It was very moving.
Thank you for keeping up the commemoration. I knew two of the British Airborne guys that fought there and I took my elderly father there about 15 years ago to pay our respects and visit a number of significant WW2 sights.
Is it just me or are some of those Photographers rude and arrogant. When staff ask you to get out of the way once, that should be sufficient. I think cameras should be confiscated from those who persistently ignore requests to get out of the way.
Indeed the guy in the white baseball cap and back pack wouldn't be told, how many pics does he want, i have visited that event in the past took pictures from the side not in front.
Yes they were. There were quite a few drunk and rude British pushing themselves through the crowds. Even police were pushing them back. Whilst waiting for the band, they were loud, arrogant. If this is the new way of stag party for these block, rather stay at home...no respect at all.

absolutely awesome. hopefully this will go on for years. thank-you for your service the war dead will never be forgotten. to the veterans of war your amazing i would not be able to do what you done your true heroes. thank-you for your service.
Altijd indrukwekkend! Bedankt voor het delen. Ik kon er zelf dit keer niet bij zijn. Dus fijn om het nu te kunnen terugzien. Je hebt ook de moeite genomen om het zoveel als mogelijk op te nemen. Wel jammer dat je de doedelzakspelers bijna niet kan zien door de lieden die er irritant voor lopen. En het geluid van de “stewards” overstemt soms ook de muziek.
The Brits are a nation of warring tribes, who fit seamlessly together in times of war and revert seamlessly to the status quo once they have seen off the enemy.
Not sure of the name but I'm sure it was used at the Queen mother's funeral. Shame all the selfish photographers spoil the vision of the massed pipers marching over the bridge
I am pretty sure it is called "The Mist Covered Mountains". I think it was played at the Queen mothers funeral. It was most certainly played at wonderful Queen's funeral 2 years ago. A fitting piece of music as a memorial to those brave men who we lost at Arnhem. RIP
impressive. too bad the filmmaker didn't show the whole procession. would have been nice to see the procession pass by almost at the last moment. and too bad people don't move aside of their own accord.
I cannot bear to see this heartbreaking ceremony made a riot of by stupid people continually getting in the way with phones. Take a picture from the side! They have no respect whatsoever, and the pipers must have felt like having them thrown off the bridge.
British 1st Airborne to British XXX Corps : "Where have you been? What have you been doing?" British XXX Corps to British 1st Airborne : "What have we been doing? Fighting for the last 3 months, ever since D-Day. Not just for the last week like you lot."
@@victornewman9904That's right Gavin was running up and down to the Reichswald, not obeying the orders given to him: take the Nijmegen bridge asap. He believed the rumors that there were some 3000 German tanks in the Reichswald. Really. 3000 tanks in that phase of the war.
I am so proud to have enjoyed part of those safe, peaceful and glorious decades our heroes sacrificed everything for. God Bless them always..❤..forever in their debt.
al die mensen op de brug,belachelijk dat ze het niet afgezet hebben om die band de ruimte te geven...maarja dat heb je met een marokkaanse burgemeester

Proud to be Scottish and British we fight what is right they should not be forgotten.
Personally I'm British but Scottish born (father was a Geordie, mother was a Kentish lassie but I wear the kilt with pride.
Thank you for giving us our freedom back.
Bagpipes......Chills down my spine, tears in my eyes.

was this in your living memory?
the troops on that day were British Paratroops including my uncle, not just Scottish
@@alisonsabin-hope7171 my Friend was named Sabin from Malta he was a paratrooper and he was one of the original d day lot so that shows my age too.
@@pjmoseley243 Might have been a relative there arnt many of us Sabins

Its great that the Dutch, specially the people living in Arnhem, keep remembering and do this every year.
Wow,I didn't know they did it every year,that's brilliant bless 'em.
Indeed it's a big deal in the Netherlands i have
been going there for 40 years.
Such brrave and honourable men...... God bless them.. we will remember them
At the end of the day we shall remember them - hero’s every one.
Dit is de brug van vrijheid, en is er nog steeds we zij trots op vrijheid laten we het ook zo houden ❤

Market Garden. The beautiful pipes and drums
When the shit hits the fan i hope i can stand with these men ! 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 😊

Respect to all those brave soldiers and all the military
They gave their Todays for our Tomorrows.
Go to It! and they did. The Bravest of the Brave! none better than my bother in the 6th paras in England!
All those incredibly patriotic brave men gave their lives for what....... Son and nephew of WW2 veterans. RIP bless them all.
Magnificent, gorgeous, unique in the world! Thank you so much!
Wat had ik dit graag meegemaakt, prachtig!
Ja, ik ook!! Hopelijk volgend jaar.
Thank you so very much for this.
I was over the bridge about 25 years ago.

Nice to hear the subdued tempo, appropriate for those who didn’t come home.
Makes you proud to Be British
Mooie opname thnx ik ben geboren in Arnhem dus dat geeft wel kippevel 🙂

That is exactly what i thought. They completely spoiled the whole march and should be ashamed of themselves.

I saw that too. One man got inthe way for more than 8 times. Why why why? Respectless. I am soo proud and thankfull for all those British men!
Mooi gedaan, werkelijk prachtig !!!!

My dad John Robert North from Yorkshire was crackshot of the sharpshooters in the H L.I.
Impressive, very impressive.
A memory never forgotten by my generation. The younger generation will not appreciate what sufferings this vi,for ended. Pity.
Does anyone know the list of units that marched in this awesome tribute? I see Irish Guards, but can’t identify the others

Altijd indrukwekkend! Bedankt voor het delen. Ik kon er zelf dit keer niet bij zijn. Dus fijn om het nu te kunnen terugzien. Je hebt ook de moeite genomen om het zoveel als mogelijk op te nemen. Wel jammer dat je de doedelzakspelers bijna niet kan zien door de lieden die er irritant voor lopen. En het geluid van de “stewards” overstemt soms ook de muziek.
I remember when people looked at things through their eyes…..now it’s through a phone…
Emocionante
Incredibly moving, thanks very much indeed
Magnificent band. Shame about the people with cameras in front of them, continuously having to be ushered out of the way.
The Brits are a nation of warring tribes, who fit seamlessly together in times of war and revert seamlessly to the status quo once they have seen off the enemy.
👏👏👏👏
So the Brits finally got over that bridge.
Didn't the ox and bucks help or was that another bridge
I know they were at Pegasus Bridge on D-Day. A quick google search should answer that.
Ik heb het niet zo met de doedelzak, maar dit is wel indrukwekkend.
Everybody has a mobile phone in The Netherlands.....................................LOL
Superb
It makes you proud to be British - the Cat stranglers and the Tartan Transvestites , doesn't it ?
Flower of the forest?
Not sure of the name but I'm sure it was used at the Queen mother's funeral.
Shame all the selfish photographers spoil the vision of the massed pipers marching over the bridge
It's called 'My Home'
@@cathyb46Thanks, now I recognize the music
I am pretty sure it is called "The Mist Covered Mountains". I think it was played at the Queen mothers funeral. It was most certainly played at wonderful Queen's funeral 2 years ago. A fitting piece of music as a memorial to those brave men who we lost at Arnhem. RIP
THESE COMMENTERS ARE HALF RIGHT.
"MY HOME" &" "THE MIST COVERED MOUNTAINS" ARE BOTH PLAYED HERE IN A LOOP.
Great video shame about the damned photographers having to be told to continually move back. Fitting tribute to the fallen though
impressive. too bad the filmmaker didn't show the whole procession. would have been nice to see the procession pass by almost at the last moment. and too bad people don't move aside of their own accord.

I guess the British Army don't turn up at this event every year now ??
In fact they do. The pipes and drums players are from Scotland, England and The Netherlands.
Yes they do. This is a special effort because of the 80th anniversary.
My grandad was wounded at Nijmegen, him and his unit stayed for about six weeks after market garden!
al die mensen op de brug,belachelijk dat ze het niet afgezet hebben om die band de ruimte te geven...maarja dat heb je met een marokkaanse burgemeester
volgens mij staan er geen Maroccanen in de weg maar originele kaaskoppen met te weinig respect. Dit is ongepast racistisch commentaar.
