My son was a royal marine and he served across the globe, sadly I lost him to cancer and I’m more than proud of him and his achievements. Two Marines played the last post at his funeral and we all wept. The people who gave this post a thumbs down are worthless idiots who would never stand and fight for our country, they would run and hide like cowards and they hide behind their computers. Our Royal are the best in the world (Fact) and I am one of millions who love and respect them. Well done all our Royal Marines, so proud of you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

To the 191 people who gave this a thumbs down, may your God forgive you for your disrespect because I’m afraid I can’t. May Marine David O’Conner rest in peace, WE WILL REMEMBER HIM. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I am an old USMC Captain. The only foreign service the USMC will salute are the Royal Marines. During the War of 1812, the Royal Marines burned Washington DC but spared our quarters at 8th and I. We never forgot the courtesy. Semper Fidelis to our brothers across the pond AND SAINT DAVID

I am American. I have never seen this. Much respect to our Royal Brothers in Arms, We surely stand with the best. God Bless You.

When you go home, tell them of Corporal O'Connor, and say: "For your tomorrow, he gave his today....."

Proud to be British! Rest easy Commando. Thank you for your sacrifice 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧

From an old soldier - That was a proper and honorable salute to your comrade. Well done. Corporal O'Connor - RIP.

What honor , and the synchronisity shows they are not wannabes , this is the die hard core of the Royal Marine Drummers

A moving tribute from Royal Marines to a Royal Marine, rest easy Marine, you served your country well

I am a former Royal Marine and respect every move these Drummers do...WELL DONE ROYAL

As a U.S. Marine I've attended or been a part of funeral details for my fallen brothers. From WWII to Korea to Vietnam to Beruit, most all I didn't know and 1 that I served with, they were all my brothers. While not as elaborate as my Royal Marine brothers here we showed our fallen Marines and their families great respect. Well done lads.

Dear Rosemary, I grew up in a Navy family. Uncles, Cousins, and most of our family friends were Navy. I'm 70 now, and have been to so many Navy funerals it's just left a dent in me. I started crying for you thinking about the loss you've suffered. It's hard for me to listen to pipes, or drums, or bugles. Remember, God loved soldiers. Recall the Centurion that trusted Jesus to just speak the word, and he knew his daughter would be healed. For those haters that gave this a thumb down, God will give them a thumb down someday. Be well......

My Uncle Ted Evans (Corporal Royal Marines 47 Commando) was killed during Operation Infatuate on 2 November 1944 - he was 19. I'm watching this for him. Thank you for posting this and f*** all the thumbs down.

As an ex Royal Marine Commando, this means so much to me. i lost Friends in northern ireland and even more whe we assaulted the twin sisters in the Falklands. For those that gave this a thumbs down I hope you never volunteer for your countries armed forces and then go through combat and lose friends and comrades that have become closer than your own family, ity tears you apart, stops you wanting to know people or get close to people in case they too die and leave you. even know 39 years after the Falklands I still suffer with PTSD and the last post and the band of the royal marines can still bring me to tears.

Not forgotten Cpl O’Connor - 28th Oct 2019 🇬🇧🇦🇺

Well done lads. Rest in peace soldier, you've done your part. Much respect from the USA.

You can talk about the Guards and any other regiment you can think of, but every time I see and hear the Royal Marines it sends a shiver of pure pride down my back. I've seen and heard the Top Secret Drum Corps who are absolutely fascinating to watch - and why not? The difference is that the TSDC are not full-time soldiers - their business is drumming, and they are truly spectacular. The RM's on the other hand, are full-time serving soldiers and have to fit their music into a very busy military schedule. Wherever they go in the world they are held in awe and great respect, just as they really deserve. For timing and precision, they are unmatchable! Britain has good reason to be proud of such men.

How can people put a thumbs down to this show of respect for a fallen soldier. This is a true show of respect from the Marine family

It is with great sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that Corporal David O'Connor, from 40 Commando Royal Marines, and Corporal Channing Day, from 3 Medical Regiment, were killed in Afghanistan on Wednesday 24 October 2012 while on patrol in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province. God Blessed are the Peace Makers.

That was truly exceptional. What had my eyes leaking here was the thought of the family of the fallen man who watching this and seeing the show of discipline and respect that his comrades have shown here...the most fitting tribute to a colleague of the armed forces. Exceptional beating to time guys, the best I've ever seen. This is why the rest of the world look to Britain for the lead in how to do this sort of thing.

Respect and RIP from USN vet.

Trying to find a video of my Dad performing he was in 1pwo yorkshire regiment. Came across this absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Sheer class.

those that gave a thumbs down have no idea of honor, , duty , integrity, selflessness and above all sacrifice for country family and self. they dont and never will understand what those words mean. they live the lifestyle they choose because good men and women fight and die for them, and they are to selfish to realize that

I knew him for a short while. A lovely young lad who grew into a true Royal Marine. RIP david ‘until.valhalla’ I knew his dad Roy for a few years..I always think about him and david this time of year. Roy had an amazing impact on a lot of kids who made great lives for themselves through his starting guidance. Roy if you ever see this look me up mate.. much respect.

Now that is what I call a fitting tribute, to a fallen comrade. R.I.P. who better to have this honour than the Drum Corp of HM ROYAL MARINES.
