Queen Elizabeth II - one final lament, “A Salute to the Royal Fendersmith”

The Lone Piper at Queen Elizabeth II Funeral
The music that signaled the start of the Queen's mornings signaled the end of her funeral, as he played one final lament, “A Salute to the Royal Fendersmith,” while her coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault beneath St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Pipe Major Paul Burns
I felt it was the most simple part of the day but the most poignant
I've made a couple of subtle edits of my own to enhance the original broadcast

My grandfather (Pipe Major, The Black Watch Regiment) told me, the piper plays final lament, in this case “A Salute to the Royal Fendersmith,” , so she can follow the sound of the music and piper into the light, there their soul will fly free. The other tune, he played just for her, was Sleep, Dearie Sleep, a tune wrapped around an ancient Scottish Gaelic poem, written over 2,000 years ago.

[@patriciarose6371]

Thank you Aleck for explaining this beautiful lament..To think.of our beloved Queen.following the music until.she could fly free into."the light' Australian but my Dad was a Scot. I did not ever get to.see Scotland but the love of all things Scottish must be inbred. Elizabeth too had one parent born in Scotland (her mother, Elizabeth) and she too loved Scotland and the the.pipes . It was in her blood.

Princess Diana was loved greatly too. It was an amazing turn out for her as well. I remember men and women openly crying in the streets and the beautiful sound of the church bells as her casket left the church after her service. I felt so sad for Harry and William. Both just boys at the time and having to solemnly walk behind their Mom’s coffin in public for some distance. Also Diana’s brother’s speech for her was beautiful and touching, and the massive round of applause in reaction that spilled from the public outside and spread inwards into the church. Elton John also sang ‘Candle in the Wind’ at her service. Unforgettable. All of it. The Queen’s service was touching too. Incredible life of service. 💜

The tune was written by Pipe Major Jimmy Banks 1st Battalion Scots Guards in memory of his Brother,I hadn't heard the tune before but what a haunting melody and Pipe Major Paul Burns played it on an excellent Bagpipe which added to the fitting Tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the 11. May She Rest In Peace.

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

I hadn’t heard the tune before either. Apparently PM Jimmy Banks’ original title was ‘A Salute To Willie The Royal Fendersmith’. It was written as a memorial for his brother, Willie who died in an accident 30 years ago. Jimmy Bank’s tune is really lovely and I can see why The Queen liked it. It is a beautiful tune, created out of the composer’s own personal experience of the loss of a loved one. How fitting and how poignant, for this to be played at The Queen’s funeral. I think ‘A Salute to Willie The Royal Fendersmith’ will now, justifiably, join the ranks of those other well known laments, traditionally played in times of grief (Flooers O The Forest, Sleep Dearie Sleep, and Amazing Grace).

In my head i could see her following the piper determined… By the door stod Philip and their 2 dorgis and met her… Then they walked side by side after the piper, out in the sunshine, away from our sight ❤❤

It most certainly was a very powerful departure for the most loved person in the World. Love the Scott's and their heritage .
