I think the performance of this song must have been especially poignant at this festival because this song is a perfect tribute to not only the armed forces, but to the late Queen. I can’t think of a more accurate description of her than this hymn; I was actually quite disappointed that it wasn't sung at her funeral. She kept the promise she made on her 21st birthday and continued to serve her beloved country up until the very end, even meeting with her last Prime Minister two days before her passing. We will never, ever see anyone like her again. I know she must be smiling down at the King with pride. God bless Queen Elizabeth II, and God Save The King.

For the love of country, and ultimately, for the Love of God and his kingdom. I pray for his return to rule the hearts of the English people (the dowry of Mary) and the hearts of mankind! Beautiful rendition. May God be blessed.

I never expected them to open with I vow to thee my country , it was a very pleasant surprise . It always bowls me over that tune. Either as a solo or an instrumental is the best version.

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it 🇬🇧

Stunning, hand on heart overwhelmed with emotion. So very beautiful, moving seeing that one flamed torch carried to the front tears flowed feeling the remnants of grief for the late Queen Elizabeth II. Thankyou for sharing. The royal family must feel her presence still at each official event.. Very poignant. 🕊️❤️

I vow to thee, my country All earthly things above Entire and whole and perfect The service of my love The love that asks no questions The love that stands the test That lays upon the altar The dearest and the best The love that never falters The love that pays the price The love that makes undaunted The final sacrifice And there's another country I've heard of long ago Most dear to them that love her Most great to them that know We may (we may not count her armies) We may (we may not see her King) Her fortress is a faithful heart Her pride is suffering And soul by soul and silently Her shining bounds increase And her ways are ways of gentleness And all her paths are peace

If that didn't bring a tear or 2 to your eye you've got no soul
