An unforgettable flash mob sings

On the 24th October 2012 military wives from across Scotland came together to show their unforgettable support for the Armed Forces community and the Scottish Poppy Appeal....in a truly unforgettable way!

US Navy, retired, with tears. Thanks.

[@DragonFox84]

+Tom Wann no........ thank you!

[@baysman59]

Navy (U.S) also, awed by such a tribute to those serving!

[@miznana58]

Thank you, U.S. Navy! YOU ROCK!

[@adfam7372]

@@DragonFox84 I’m not liking this comment. God bless all our troops hun.

[@DragonFox84]

@@adfam7372 i meant it as saying you dont thank us...we thank you. i wasnt saying no thank you you suck etc. lol sorry that was taken wrong...maybe it was written wierd.

[@TTB0209]

Granted the singing isn't the best but it's the reasoning behind the singing that is important. Whilst our soldiers do their duty overseas they leave behind wives, families and friends that suffer just as much emotional stress as our troops. This singing is to show recognition for both sides of the same coin, showing support for the soldiers and rallying together as those that have to suffer so that we may have the freedoms we enjoy.

[@LuE87]

Who cares if they were not opera singers? We forget the ones left at home suffer the most What have you done today to make me proud? This!

[@leshilton2610]

From an Ex Aussie Serviceman, I loved this and think they deserve better than some of the disparaging comments. They're not professional Singers but delivered a Heartfelt Performance and are to be congratulated on their efforts. Well Done!.

[@mysilentprayersalways1913]

I think they are Wonderful for putting others First. So Heartfelt.

[@PeterVandenSchoor]

Not often am I moved to tears. But rooted in the very soil the poppies grew, I stand in admiration and thankfulness. The ladies are unforgatteble, as are those who served... Too often people forget about the 'service' part of Military Service; I don't.

[@lynnda8764]

Almost 8 years later ... I hear these angels singing. Beautiful!

[@Tieyme]

To all you guys talking about the singing quality: I think that fact that this is just a bunch of ordinary women, who are armature singers, makes the whole thing much better than if pro-singers had been involved. Don't you have any feels guys?

[@passtheparcel2007]

It took courage, just as their husbands took courage to go an fight wherever they were sent to! Well done ladies, you supported your husbands..............

Beautiful wives of men who are away fighting.

[@sx42day]

Many forget the spouses left behind when soldiers go to war. Its great to be reminded in such a wonderful way. Thanks.

[@AnnFGeffert]

I wish "Flash Mobs" were in vogue while I was still an active duty Army wife!! I would have loved to do this to show my support!! Amazing Ladies!! Bravo!

[@ronapony1]

All those people who are saying horrible things. It would take a lot of courage to do something like this and it shows amazing support for the armed forces. So what if they are out of tune? I think its really well done and sounds great, I don't see what everybody is complaining about.

[@miznana58]

Wonderful! Great job, wives. Great job all military warriors for upholding all our freedoms. YOU ROCK!

[@mattleslie4274]

I think if anyone walked into this there day would be brightened!

[@tdamtoft]

Best flash mob video ever, simply because the sound sounds original - rather than the treated tosh you normally get.

[@markmasengale890]

more of a mall choir performance than a flash mob - you know...with the matching outfits and such...but what a great sound. Simply delightful. Great group of caring people.

[@bocaitalian]

BRAVO LADIES! Only thing is, I couldn't understand a word they said? Their accent is very strong compared to the American accent. But the Scottish accent is more beautiful...Gave me goosebumps, how all women do this for their men in the Armed Service...Thank-you Ladies!

[@stevespencer3415]

Amazing and courageous women showing such support for theirs and other husbands and fathers serving their country.

[@carolynhope7855]

It is so great to know the poppy is just as meaningful in Europe as the "Buddy Poppy" is in the United States. It's heart inspiring to see the look in veterans eyes as we hand them a "Buddy Poppy". Sometimes it's a tear and sometimes it's a smile. Our "Buddy Poppy" is constructed by veterans in nursing homes and purchased from them by us, Veterans of Foreign Wars. We then distribute to anyone who wants to display "they care".

[@StampinOnWheels]

There will always be haters. It's an unfortunate fact. What have THEY done today to make them feel proud? If bashing a beautiful tribute from military wives is the best they can do then go on and hate. The rest of us will still support them. No ugly thing you can say will take away the heart of what this video showed.

gooooood for you

[@mysilentprayersalways1913]

I want to thank ALL of the Men & Women who have and are still fighting for our Freedom. God Bless all of you. I want to Thank ALL the Families that don't have Mom/Dad at home, your Strength and Love Amazes me. God Bless you ALL.

[@importantname]

we often forget - every soldier, sailor, aircrew, police officer, fire fighter - has family. Never forget those that serve - for they are all part of our family. Lest we forget!

[@bethlast4269]

So beautiful and inspiring! You ladies are wonderful! You are the kind of ladies who support and make possible the lives of people like Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, my hero in Lossiemouth! I'm from USA and will forever support Scotland our Ally!

[@TheCornishCockney]

hey ! England took part too you know. Our bond between us never breaks. Total respect to these fine ladies for making themselves heard. You do a great job while your husbands defend us all.

[@jeremypratt7162]

This is an American veteran! I served twice, once from 95 to 98, and then 07 to 10. I would like to thank you very, very much. It is good to know that we are appreciated. Thank you for making me 😂" happy tears". This is now 2018 btw,

[@dfswhip]

brave thing to do ladies, nicely done, thank you and your spouses, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters for their service...

[@holzwurm4711]

I´m deeply moved, its an amazing act. Whoever is violated: If you would listen with your heart, you would never bother about voices. The Voice of Heart needs no tuning. Greetings from Germany.

[@DeniseEggertwaterlily]

Wonderful tribute for the armed forces. In the U.S. and Canada, Poppy Day is usually on November 11th - Veteran's Day or in Canada, known as Remembrance Day. We also have Poppy Day on Memorial Day at the end of May.

[@somniumisdreaming]

It is November 11th for the UK too.

[@quarteracreadventures855]

Awww.. it got me right in the feels! Sometimes a performance that is less 'polished' is actually more emotionally stirring. Mission accomplished! Good on them.

[@dominicerrington6788]

These are the families that make our families safe. Respect and gratitude

[@rockraptor616]

AWESOME,from Cornwall to Scotland,RESPECTS LADIES.

[@dennisevans2677]

Wives; the persons that sit and wait for loved ones to come home safe from where ever their military spouse may be. Not just wives now but husbands to. They are the strength behind the deployed.

[@edgarmilitarywiveschoir8957]

This is amazing. We were all so 'proud' to be involved. Well done to Poppy Scotland and their team for putting this together so professionally!

[@wildyblissjazz]

Scottish people ate fucking AMAZING!!

[@rondohunter8966]

So very proud of the people of Scotland who felt such pride in their Armed Services that they salute them with song. What an honor to offer such pride in heritage and culture. Long live the country and the great and wonderful people of Scotland.

[@songsmirth5316]

Bravo ladies. Gave me goosebumps. Our military is a proud heritage and we need to back them. Big time! Thanks Poppy for taking the time to share this. Made me smile. :) Songs

[@Canadianeh100]

I love and admire all our miltary - and that includes the Brits, Yanks, Aussies, etc., etc. God Blees them all - and their families.

[@JenniferSteel]

These military wives make me feel proud. Lovely singing. Just perfect.

[@andrewskinner8560]

Wonderful tribute to all soldiers. To my stepfather who served in the Air Force.

[@christinestewart5158]

+Emily calvert This is amazing, how'd it come together?

[@richarddavis2107]

Emily calvert Thankyou to both you and your husband.

[@staceygeddes3612]

So sorry it has been brought to my attention that there is a mistake in my last comment. It should have read. So proud to have been a part of this and helping to launch the poppy appeal. Not the poopy appeal. Apologies.

[@ColinGilchrist]

Brilliant effort from all involved - love this. Now show your support!

[@edwardkreahling4383]

I am not crying, you are. music like this comes from the heart. Truly beautiful.

[@calwitch]

That takes courage! Plus to show support for the armed forces! Kudos to them!

[@HowardARoark]

Very nice ladies - love you all !!!

[@msk.johnson5102]

Love watching this. Thanks to the Armed Forces too.

[@ABONJUK]

Well done ladies you should all be proud of yourselves. Nice to see you Tilly in there with the rest of the crew. xx

[@stefanirogers5492]

this should be done again- to all you ladies (wives of Scot Armed Forces) - I bow to you! even if it is a few years later - bet you all need it now too!

[@mysticwander8774]

The singing is beautiful because of the reason behind it, and the passion put into it. You don't have to be a "good" singer to touch the hearts of others, you just have to show that you care and are trying

[@youngmindedman]

I think that was wonderful of those Lovely Ladies.

[@GeorgeClarendon]

Scottish women rock! A grandchild of a Scotswoman.

[@debbiewalker3212]

So PROUD and honoured to be a part of the launch of Poppy Scotland :)

Love your freedom thank a vet.. it because of us vets that the haters can say stupid thing freely....

[@mommylarsen]

[@BubbleGirls6547]

Yes, I loved it and I'm proud to be Scottish, I wish I was there. I don't care whether they were bad singers, it's the though at counts. Go on girls😉

[@TheMenace999]

OMG ! You guys are so awesome. you are just so into the moment the song is great !

[@jinkss111]

That was awesome what have you done today to make you feel proud Exactly.

[@adrih8694]

There's something about a bunch of people singing, no matter how good or bad they are, that feels so cozy.

[@alannajohnson]

I know how sweet and meaningful this is but was anyone else reminded of that one scene in Elf??

[@TheRayDev]

God bless these women and may their husbands return home safe. As a veteran I know what my wife went through when I was deployed overseas.

[@joycepogson4297]

Well done ladies.....A wonderful tribute

[@cqsallie]

What a challenge! "What have you done today to make you feel proud?" The day's not over yet, maybe I'll do something yet....

[@billyslo87]

Great video. I have Scottish ancestry and I really want to visit Scotland one day.

[@baysman59]

Excellent job and beautifully done....Jolly good show.

[@dina_soup]

Who else only sees people telling people to stop saying that it's not the best and doesn't actually see anyone doing that. Or is it just me?

[@tastytom1]

Truly amazing....well done to all involved

[@Circa2010Buck]

Awesome and quite powerful song. I loved it the first time I heard it. Heather Small; Proud. Kudo's to the person(s) who selected this track in particular. Thank you oh so much for sharing this remarkable video. This Canadian proudly wears his Poppy.

[@stevejaubert2892]

Really quite a feat for considering its not an easy song to sing and them keeping it in time amazing. I thought it sounded great!

[@jasper777777]

They are really good, and it seems like the people watching should be smiling and dancing too- but the audience looks unhappy.

[@bobbiemooney2100]

The Scots are not known for frivolity (except around friends and family). I'm surprised they managed to get that many together for something like this.....Good for them....Great job ladies!

Awesome! Well done Ladies You make us feel proud! :-) x

[@kennyb4871]

Very well done!

[@BadPennyDogBoy]

Isabella, They are ordinary house wives and mothers. The only thing they have in common is that they are all wives and partners of serving military personnel. The wonderl is that any of them are in tune but that doesn't detract from the pride they feel and the support they show for their families.
