As ex-RAF myself, it's worth noting that the Queen is actually head of all the armed services. When we officially "join up" and take the oath of allegiance, we swear to, "Serve the Queen, her heirs and successors". We do not swear allegiance to the PM, the Government or even to a country.
@junglie50552 жыл бұрын
Not all branches swear an oath of allegiance. The Royal Navy as the Senior Service has never been required to swear allegiance. As an aside that wasn't an RAF flypast. It was a Tri-Service flypast led by......the Royal Navy.

@@junglie5055 The Royal Navy was established by the sovereign's prerogative, so effectively belongs to the Queen already. For that reason, recruits are not required to swear allegiance, but they do sign an attestation or engagement form on entry. The fly past was organised by the RAF and it made sense to put the slower, less capable, participants such as the RN at the front. 😁 The Royal Navy is indeed the Senior Service and used to consist of men of iron manning ships of wood.

Chances are, unfortunately, you'll not get the chance to ever come over and see this event. This wasn't a simple yearly Birthday event, this was to mark 70 years as the nations Queen. The classic formation of WW2 Lancaster Bomber being escorted by a Spitfire and a Hurricane is one of the great things to witness. The sound is something quite unique as they fly overhead. There was a moment during this event, when they passed overhead, that the Queen pointed up as if the sound brought back a lot of wartime memories. This is Britain at its finest. She's the longest serving 'Female' Monarch, but has 2 years to go before overtaking Louis XIV from France, thus becoming the longest of any gender.

In a speech when she was 21, the then Princess Elizabeth promised to faithfully serve the nation and what was then the Empire, now the Commonwealth. How many people do you know that have not waivered from a promise for 75 years? Regardless of being royalty, she is just a phenomenal person. That is why the reception here is so outstanding. There are now three generations who have known no other monarch. Queen Elizabeth is currently third on the list of longest all time reigns behind King Louis XIV of France (72 years) in the 17th/18th centuries and King Bhumibol of Thailand (70 years) 1946-2016. Queen Elizabeth will pass King Bhumibol in 10 days. I am a proud Brit and my parents were married in Queen Elizabeth's coronation year of 1953. It is a family joke that the four great events of 1953 were Queen Elizabeth's coronation, Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay climbing Mt Everest, Sir Stanley Matthews (the oldest player to play in England's premier division at age 50 in 1965, and having a professional career of 33 years) winning the FA Cup Final (after losses in 1948 and 1951) and my parent's wedding.

Her mind is sharp, but her physical health is not. Longer life, for her, means more discomfort and pain. Thankfully her family supports her & follows through when her body limits her.

As a war baby, my earliest memories of her are in uniform, or working as a mechanic on army lorries in fatigues. Considering she was not born to be Queen, her service has been incredible.

I do vaguely remember King George VI. When I was nine and at Junior School we were seated on the floor in the school hall and we listened to the King's funeral procession on the radio. There were almost no television sets in those days because they were so expensive. Sixteen months later, when the Coronation took place it was very different. Television sets were cheaper so millions bought them to watch the ceremonies. Anyone with a set invited in neighbours. Many brought food with them so the day became a celebration. There were also street parties. These were mainly for the children. Tables and chairs were brought out of the homes and the children had a wonderful time eating, drinking squash (concentrated fruit drinks diluted to personal taste) and playing games. Wonderful memories of an amazing time.

The uniforms are something to see - the mounted band uniforms go back to Charles 1, who was king from 1660. Real gold trimmings. Also, there was an 82 gun salute that isn’t on this video, with cannon from WW1. One cannon is the one that fired the first shot in WW1. Good luck wherever you’re going …

Whether we realise it or not, the monarchy is important to Britain. Is has put a spike through almost 2,000 years of history. Despite civil war, invasion, famine, two plagues, the blitz, the Great Fire, it's the one single consistent thing. It's a totem; it's a continuous an ongoing message and an anchor. Leaders come and go and that flux in other countries gives a lack of permanence. For this reason, I'm not a Royalist, but certainly a monarchist and believe we need this in our country.

I’m glad you enjoyed watching the Royals, her family and the people of the UK enjoying the celebrations. Whenever there is a milestone in the Queens (and other immediate royals) lives, there is always pageants, parades etc. The Fly Over is breathtaking and always finishes with the Red Arrows. If my memory serves me correctly, presently (at the date of writing this message) Queen Elizabeth is the longest serving female monarch in history, and the third longest serving monarch in history, in the world! There are two male monarchs who have served longer than QEII, one just a few days more (so she could end up being the second), and the remaining one is a year and days more. The Queen is 96, and is still working, and I would imagine that in itself must be a record, as I do not know anyone who still works at 85, let alone 96. The state retirement age in the UK has recently risen to 67 yrs of age. Her husband, Prince Phillip was 99 when he passed away (this year) and her Mother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, (Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon) was 102 back on the early 2,000’s I think. Therefore, the odds for a long life expectancy for the Queen’s children bodes well. If you do get a chance to visit London, I would recommend a trip to the Palace, which is usually open between July and October. Also, there is Madame Tussaud’s which houses the wax works of various famous people, and has some of the costumes too on display (of those people) and gives a timeline of the Royal lineage. Plus there are museum’s, which used to be free to the general public and I assume still are, the Imperial War Museum may be of great interest to you. Good luck on your training and definitely take a look at the other events on KZbin surrounding the Queens milestones over the year, we tend not to do things by half 😀. All the best.

There are old post boxes around that have been repainted many times and bear her insignia. This country still had post-war rationing when she came to the throne in the 1950s. It becomes mind-blowing the more you think about it. Churchill was PM. Look at the old cars that were around then. Her coronation wasn't even a decade after the end of WW2.

I live about a mile from an historic railway line, and they often have a WW2 aircraft fly past on special events. Over these last three days, a Hurricane and a Lancaster (twice!!) has flown right over my house at about 400ft, and then to do some manouevres over the station. Tomorrow? Tomorrow I will see Spitfires, another Hurricane and a Mustang! They regularly get Spitfires, and they pretend to strafe the platform. I also saw a Dakota last year. There is honestly nothing like it when those Merlin engines rattle the air in your lungs and the windows in your house. On my birthday a few years ago, my (now) ex had been particularly horrible to me, so I went out into the garden. I looked up, and right then the Red arrows, in perfect formation flew right over my head (low enough to see the wing markings). Logic tells me they were going over the railway, but really I know they were there for me.

Look up the Telegraph's coverage. They described in full details about all the aircraft. It would be great to visit! Start watching British coverage, it's better and more informative

RAF Brize Norton is the place to go to see military planes landing - loads of aircraft. Lots of USA planes lately. Antonov planes have landed lately too.

I love this reaction video, I've been too busy to watch any of the jubilee so it's my first time watching it as well lol, I used to work at Heathrow and my yard was directly under one of the flight paths, when Concorde used to abort landing it used to power up and open it's burners directly above us, the ground would start shaking and your chest would vibrate so much it would start to hurt 😀

I didn’t know it was aired in America. I didn’t realise there was this much interest in our Royal Family from the US. It’s wonderful to have our American cousins love the Royal Family as much as we do.

I love watching airplanes too, since young. The different models of airplanes, the sounds of their engines, and the speed capacity of all the planes, ergo the function of each type of planes all make a fascinating study of them. The sound rumbles that comes out of each of them must make an unforgettable experience of what it's like during The Battle of Britain and World War II.

True enough, except King Louis was only 4 years old when he (succeeded) "inherited" the title of King . . . I have a feeling he didn't do a great deal for perhaps maybe 10 years after that, or more . . . and then you also have the role of service and the engagements she has carried out over those same 70 years to consider, too . . . I can only wonder if any other royal ruler in history has even done as many engagements after taking such a role up after it as she has . . . ??? - As I'm sure that most of them just enjoyed the lifestyle being offered without offering the same duty of service in return . . .
