The soldiers fallen in battle:no difference of uniform,no difference of country,no difference of language or age but only BROTHERS IN THE DEATH,FOREVER.

"Young men of your country, not much more than boys, gave away all of their tomorrow's for your today. So for those of us that have survived, we should make it a world that was worth dying for." - British veteran of Normandy, June 6, 1944

Words can never express how we feel and what gratitude we owe to past and present generations. God Bless you all

may this hymn be dedicated to not just the winning side. But to all fallen soldiers on both sides. they all fought valiantly for their country, their people, their families and their children all hoping for a better tomorrow.

Thank you Katherine, you made me think of my two uncles, both killed while in the RAF during WW11. One was the navigator on a Blenheim, the other a pilot of a Lancaster. Also my father who was a gunner on a B 17.

Bless you, my comrade in arms. I was a fortunate. I was off Vietnam on an aircraft carrier in 1965. We left 8 men behind who died and two became POWs. I came back from a safe-for-me-deployment. I cannot begin to understand your memories and feelings. But my feelings and heart are with you.

@@larrywmayes1561 From vet to another Thank you we were all so young many had not started to live and enjoy life we answered the call and did our duty we will always remember our fellow comrades

Memories of my Dad, my hero. R.I.P.

You can see the drama in the eyes of the veterans. They think of their lost comrades and friends it sends chills down my spine

we will never forget what this generation did for us...

I played this in band when I was in High School and it was very hard to keep myself from tearing up... and to this day.. it is a very soul reaching song... ~Still serving!

The voice of an angel, truly.

to those who will never come back but will allways be rememberd

My grandfather was there on D-Day, Omaha beach, just like the men in "Saving Private Ryan" I cry everytime I hear this because I think of him, I miss you so much grandpa :( R.I.P Ted Feerick, 1922-2011

The Fallen soldiers and the Vétérans must stay alive in our heart for eternity

Beautiful. Purely beautiful. Respect from across the pond in Wisconsin, USA!

Respect for all of these young men who fought for us. RIP.

If one can watch this every video and not see the pain of the loss of friends that is still fresh in their minds, then is there ever hope that you will feel compassion for those in military service who made more sacrifice than you can possibly comprehend?

Great tribute and beautiful singer,for all our Freedoms including this one, every free person owes their appreciation to those who fell

Corporal Nathan Cirillo, R.I.P., Job well done, Thank you Soldier!

Thank you Katherine. You are truly beautiful. Mazel Tov!

'Hymn to the Fallen' is such a sad, touching piece of music, John Williams is a musical genuis and Katherine Jenkins has the most amazing and beautiful voice ever - what a combination. Stunning.

This song has a special place in my heart, played at my Dads Funeral, he was a true Hero, brings a tear to my eye. RIP Dad xxxx

I cry everytime I hear and see this video. Before my father died, he asked me to never forget what our Vets did for us in WW2. Bless all of you, our soldiers of freedom. May God grant you peace.

For my grandmother, grandfather, and all those who served this nation proudly, may you all be remembered for all time....

One look into their eyes and it fills me full of emotion and respect!

To all of our service members..I want to thank you for your dedication and always remember that we are all thankful for you,...Thank you!

This song is so beautiful. It has a great message. I cry almost everytime I hear it.

i have just joined a welsh male voice choir i would love her to come and sing with them. she is amazing.

Very Beautiful, always brings a tear to my eye, as I remember my Grandad, who fought in WW2 in the RAF as a Aircraft Engineer.

How i love this song .

She is so awesome

if you see a veteran just walk up to him and say THANK YOU .

God bless your fallen troops, past and present.....from a friend in the U.S.

great grandfather flew B-17s in WW2, survived...John Basilone marine Gy. Sgt fought in Guadalcanal.. K.I.A on Iwo Jima...absolutely great video

What a stunning voice. A fitting tribute to the soldiers that have bled the ground red in various places around the world. God bless each and every one.

Gone but never forgotten!

The Hymn To The Fallen always gets you all misty-eyed. Beautiful piece.

Thank you so much .

I saw Her do this in Basrah in 2006 i was standind next to a Royal Marine Sgt and tears were rinning down his face....she looks and has the voice of and Angel....well done lassie xxx God bless all our armed forces..stay safe

God bless them and keep them safe in all the dark places they must go.

Without no doubt...this is one of the most beautiful videos in the world

beautiful music, beautiful faces and expessions. something is shinning to us... otavio de brasil

my grandfather, John Henry 'Jack' Alabaster fought in the Royal Air Force, serving on a Lancaster Bomber 1943-1945. He is 88 years old now today in April 2010. I hold the absolute greatest respect from him. I live in Maryland (USA), but I really need to get back to the UK and see him ....

A soldier is a soldier. He is sent miles from home often by force. He fights for his country regardless of the right or wrong, but for his own survival. My grandfather was a soldier of the Wehrmacht. He served from Poland all the way to the Battle of the Bugle where he suffered a shoulder wound and was captured by the US. He won the Iron Cross for his actions in France. His brother, who had immigrated to America, also served in WWII but as a corpman on Iwo, Okinawa, Makin, and Saipan.

As a vet 5 times over, I am so proud of the way the vets are treated today. I remember that when I got out in 1970, all I wanted was a college degree, and an exit visa from this country. The viet vet was looked down on , and treated like a leper. Even the memorial wall was done in black, like they were ashamed to have to acknowledge we even existed. All other memorials were in white. We as a nation have always paid tribute to the fallen, and the missing. It is a shame our government isn't as honorable about where they place our service personnel in harms way, nor for the right reasons.

For every time a people cheer to go to war, this should be played as a reminder that all that is left, in the end, is the horror of loss for lives that should have been lived and love that never should have ended. So many souls sacrificed for things that, in the end, were pointlessly defended. Someone always starts these things and the rest of us have to finish them. Ten years later, we cannot tell the difference. A life is a life, friend or enemy.

John Williams is a genious. The version by Jenkins is so extremely sad but still telling so much. It is just impressive and beautiful. May we rembember those people who brought us freedom.

Very beautiful!*****♥

Simply put. Thankyou to all those who gave their lives. Not Yours,Not Mine, But Theirs. You will never be forgootten

Agreed no matter which side the soldiers died fighting for, they deserve respect for making the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Excellent, yes sir.

you can tell by the look in their eyes they didn t forget those they had to leave behind on their life s path....we won t forget them as well.Thank You.

May all who served rest in peace.

Beautiful Voice, amazing.

a heartful thought to my granpa Henry who fought with the the glorious Parachute regiment..through and through an englishman and one of the finest human being and soldiers ever...and to his elder brother Paul,killed as his Lancaster were downed over Germany on a bombing mission... Thank you... and peace to all of you and to all of us ..

God bless all our Fallen . Lest We Forget

Truly amazing!

Beautiful.....just beautiful. R.I.P-To those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and independence,God Bless you all.

Is that Richard Todd, right at the start of the video, he flew on the original 'Dam Busters' missions and was also in the film of the same name, what a legend in British history... This piece of music is Evocative, Emotive, Spellbinding, Wonderful, Beautiful... and so many other words that escape me at the moment.. . Remember with pride all those who fell during the D Day Landings... 06.06.1944

The beautiful and talented, Katherine Jenkins.

Watching this video, and watching their eyes, you can only imagine what they saw, and what their hands did. On their chest represent badges of honor, honor I would give regardless. Beautiful music by John Williams, and an even more beautiful video. Thanks.

Hymn To The Fallen was actually composed by John Williams for "Saving Private Ryan" and is only heard during the closing credits, but to stunning effect. Totally fitting title

As a U. S. Army Infantry Company Commander (Vietnam era) and the son of a WWII U. S. Naval Aviator I can tell you that if it were not for the RAF, the British Royal Navy and the leadership of Prime Minister Winston Churchill we would all be goosestepping our way down Pennsylvania Avenue. Thank you, you GREAT Band of Brothers for our freedom today and for lessons on how to keep it.

Id like to share if i may a poem which i wrote for friends As i stand at your side you are watching over my grave as you knelt down to tender a tear fell from your face for i was there for you you didnt see me you didnt hear but im always there for im an angel now ive gone sending love & blessings

"Never have so many, had so few, to thank for so much" - Winston Churchill

My dad now sadly passed , on coming home wanted to remember all his mates that died but realised there were too many. So he chose 1 name to hold that man was Sid Savage. So in the passing years we spoke his name every year. So as 11.11.11. comes again we speak Sid's name & now my dad Jacko. R.I.P. & thanks

That's a very powerful and moving tribute to all those you gave there life's I will think of this hymn prayer for the fallen for ever.

this gives me chills every time i listen to it

As a current Infantryman and Combat Infantryman, I love this vid. Favorited, voted, added to favorites.

i get goose bumps every time i hear this song. I have nothing but deepest Respect for these men of WWII alive and those that payd the hight price at the alter of freedom. Freedom that is Truly theyres and theyr families for they also payd the price of freedom, they had to deal with the great loss of these great men for so many years. The Freedom that many of today ppl Take for granted, only they know for real that freedom is not to be taken for granted.

one of the most beautiful song ever..... amazing...

gone but not forgotten!!

In Commemoration………. Honour & Respect & Admiration & Glory to All Service Personnel… “It is an honour to show my respect for serviceman and their families. Please accept my prayers and condolences to you all and your family for your loss. Fair winds and following seas! Clear skies! Safe landings! God bless.” .. You are held in high esteem & respected & admired & valued by all who know you & those whom you protect/ed... &, also, especially by your fellow countrymen. You served your country to defend our freedoms & democracy & have fought against tyranny and oppression. You gave your all and many your lives. We humbly thank you. You are true patriots! We salute you! We honour you!!!!!... Glory be to you!.........

i played the peice of music at my grand fathers service ,he flew B-17s out of england during ww2 and just befor he past away myself ,grandfather ,my wife and grand mother went to england and and found that it was turned back into a pasture where it had started from

Thank you. Being in the infantry myself, I know that you do not win wars from the air or sea. You win them on the ground. Thank you again - for your understanding, for sharing you perspectives and insight with me and for your service. Most sincerely.

This is a stunning piece of video. The haunting yet beatuiful music along with the pictures of the veterans. The way you can actually see the thoughts, tears, pride and passion in their faces as the camera goes past them 10/10

This brings me to tears. I remember my grandad who fought in World Warr 1 and the shrapnel in his leg and what a wondreful guy he was.

Very beautiful and moving performance.

I'm from Brasil. I never took military service, but I respect the military honor. There are some who could do evil in a battlefield, it's true. But the great part are just doing their job, the best they can. For the fallen, my salutations.

But whatever i pay greatest Respect to everyone who fought this bloody war... R.I.P all soldiers which rest in earth abroad. amen

One of my church members fought at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima in the pacific front of ww II and my father fought in Vietnam and Desert Storm. He told me in Vietnam he lost his childhood friend and his friends from High School. Going to the Vietnam memorial was very hard on him to see their names on the wall. ALL soldiers and veterans must be remembered regardless on who they are. American, Japanese, Germans, British, and countless others. A requiem will play to honor and remember the fallen.

Praise be to God. Our must humble thanks and gratitude to the fallen.

Songs of Praise. a UK TV program which includes various hymns etc

A beautiful video! May peace be with those whose nights are haunted by memories or battles fought and comrades lost.

To my grandfather, as a salor in the U.S. Navy during WWII and Korea you went above and beyond the call of duty, rest in peace salor. Because as a United States Marine It is now my job to do the same.

Amazing....................

Thank You - Thanks to the families whose mother's, fathers, sisters and brothers, people I will never know in this life - who went before and died for my freedom long before I was born. May God Bless your families and may the memory of the departed in battle, who died for justice and truth, gave their lives that we can know peace.

thank you for the MUSIC and the VIDEO!!!great job!!!peace and love!!!

as my late grandpa (WWII veteran) said it with ironically: "when there are two kids fighting with a pop guns behind the corner, there is always a war...". Btw very touching tribute to the fallen! Thanks for this!

This Song is For every fallen Soldier in every Country god bless them all

These guys gave everything for us. Make sure you deserve it - we owe them, They are all heroes - forever,

...in memory of all those brave who lost their lives for the greater sake of our nation...all lost..but never forgotten...

The hymn to the fallen by John Williams is the saddest song Ive ever heard...:( Its so amazing

i played this track when i drove over the re-build of Pegasus Bridge in Normandy France - the original is about 200 yards away in a museum because of the increase in traffic weight, still bears bullet holes from D-Day - the first Allied soldier killed was on Pegasus Bridge June 6th 1944

For those not from the UK, this was from BBC Songs of Praise, which is a weekly Sunday Christian show. Kathryn Jenkins is standing in the ruins of Coventry's Medieval cathedral. It was destroyed in a massive raid by the Luftwaffe during the Blitz in 1940. Approximately 568 were killed in the city during one night. The WWII veterans are standing in the new cathedral, that was built alongside the old cathedral after the war. The cross in the remains of the cathedral is a replica of a cross of burnt timbers found in the rubble the following morning. (I think the original might be in the new cathedral) Below the cross is the words FATHER FORGIVE.

I can just imagine the thoughts running through the minds of these citizen warriors as they remember the many who fell around them in the thick of battle. The pain inflicted on such young men and women that will never be erased in their lifetimes!

yay...i love this tune....and its cool that its filmed at coventry cathedral cos im at uni there and i walk through it almost everyday!

How can something so wonderful, be so sad.
