Royal Marine Band - Sunset

The Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines - Sunset

[@nicholasdavies213]

Almost burst into tears when this popped up, had this played at my Grandfathers funeral and the Royal Marines kindly provided a Bugler for it which was wonderful. he was the Bugler on his ship during the war and he played this every evening and he loved it.

[@carlbeeson7860]

As a former Royal Naval Signalman, one of my proudest moments was hauling down the Ensign to this tune at an official function. It still makes me want to stand to attention and salute.

[@staffsyeoman]

Played as it should be. Always moves me more than The Last Post. And no singer warbling pointless words..

[@Kentcommentator]

This must be on of the most moving sounds for indigenous British people.

[@TanePotae11]

You forget about the commonwealth and empire, this is well known in new Zealand too

[@Rob-bz5nn]

All British people, and those of the Commonwealth. Indigeneity is irrelevant.

[@CaptainX2012]

all British people* We don't care about race here 🇬🇧

[@carolineking7435]

My dad loved 'Sunset' .great piece of music.

[@sharongriffith4340]

Love this, My Dad was a royal marine bandsman. Miss him so much

[@amakazarnugla4873]

Reminds me always of the people who unselfishly defend our country

[@LeeJohn70]

I agree the Royal Marines are the Best. Englands finest, we don't have much left in this country anymore to be proud of but we still have The Royal Marines.

[@davethebrit5897]

Beautiful from the world's best marines

[@Harvey142009]

Amazing! Wished this sunset call or retreat as we call it here in the US was used here. Greetings from the USA

[@WalterDWormack214]

I think that's the sentiment of quite a few 'Yanks', that hear 'Sunset'. It's definitely a 'haunting' bugle call.

[@konradyearwood5845]

When I was in the RN I had the privilege of working with quite a few Yanks who came over to the UK on exchange postings. They all fell in love with the Royal Marine Band and this bit of music held a special place especially when paired with the prelude hymn. Stay safe.

[@robbytempSpartan]

Always brings a lump to my throat.

[@davethebrit5897]

Perfect I am so proud to be British

[@neilkipling9123]

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We Will Remember Them!

[@robbytempSpartan]

Amen

[@katerinakempb8217]

Simply stunning, no more words needed.

[@charltonmarvinmorley769]

God bless the Royal Marines Band. All divisions all branches. Long live the Royal Marines Band.

[@timdelafosse4655]

We had a RMB on the Carrier ILLUSTRIOUS. As well as playing at sea for the crew they played Sunset at ceremonial occasions in port such as Cocktail Parties in the hangar for local dignitaries in whichever country we were visiting. What an advert for Britain. I heard it countless times and was always tremendously moved. Thanks for this video.

[@edmonddumas6392]

The Royal Scottish Dragoon Guards are equally awesome as well. The RSDG and the Band of the Royal Marines are my favourite British military bands. I'm Canadian by the way and proud of it! God Save the Queen!

[@DavidMcMeakin]

These guys are amazing. This never fails to bring a lump to my throat and tear to my eye. I have the utmost respect and admiration. Thank you.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

Always brings a tear to my eyes.

[@martinhallett9881]

The best of the best by far. So proud to have had the honour of marching to them on several occasions.

[@johnagnew7297]

Thinking of my dad. He was in the RM Band from 1930-1945. They are simply the best.

[@robertdickson641]

Thank you Royals, you always rase the bar for the hearts of oak.

[@NickRowell-f5v]

Played at my dads funeral 7 years ago by 2 Royal Marines. My Dad was a Royal Marine bandsman. Bugler/Drummer for 10 years. See ya later dad.

[@JackCottle]

Proud to be English, god bless the fallen troops

[@ronjustincase]

I watched glued most Sunday mornings to the band at their Chatham Parade Ground. I know why I play their music regularly whilst writing. Now aged 77, I've just discovered my RM Sergeant PTI Grand father was one of The Live Bait Squadron. This will be the BEST screenplay I've ever written. It's been there all along for decades. It'sll be dedicated to the finest infantry men anywhere. Thank You.

[@Corries2012]

Regardless of politics, we should all be proud of those willing to put themself before ourselves in a voluntary defence / armed force. God bless you all, and for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, Rest In Eternal Peace. Thank you one and all.

[@inkats]

I was with 45 Commando Aden in 1960. Well I remember hauling down the flag with just a single bugler by my side. 82 yo now but still get the buzz.....Happy days even though just a National Serviceman.

[@gazza2933]

I'm ex RAF but I believe that the Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines are the finest military band in the world.

[@4258678742]

It makes no difference which of the forces you were in this piece of music is the best of everything. especially memories, Wonderful

[@MrSnipper805]

As an ex matelot sunset played by the Royal Marines band always sends shivers down my spine, a wonderful piece of music

[@33quantock]

I agree, it brings back fond memories of when I would be on HMY Britannia for State occasions, Beating The Retreat & Sunset Ceremony would be performed when leaving port..........oh happy days!

[@MrSnipper805]

I thought you may agree with me Michael, happy days indeed

[@nickoakley8465]

It's a more emotional piece of music than the last post. I'm ex RN (only 8 years) but they can play this at my funeral

[@edwardclark4787]

Simply magnificent!

[@jamieh5358]

Great memories of Southwick Apak.... I'm still trying to find 'Colours'

[@yvonnemoreena1]

So proud my Dad was a Royal Marine. I have the upmost respect for the Royal marines, I was even named after them.

[@bonnehumeur09]

Always reminds me of HMY Britannia and the many, many people who were awed by the beauty and dignity of the simple ceremony of Beat Retreat during her years in service. Vivat Regina Elizabetha!

[@buchholzstephen7562]

Always brings back memories.

[@elliotdobie561]

Beautiful just makes me feel so patriotic

[@barrytipton1179]

Just how many bandsmen can we muster now .... back to the happy days

[@SJW439]

The Bootneck band - THE BEST military band in the world. Per Mare Per terram From, an ex Matelot

[@stevebloormusic]

gives me goosebumps this.

[@tylersteven5396]

my dad used to be a bugler and drumber in the marines band. so proud

[@ColonelGhoster]

This was played on the last night of a cadet camp I went to, I loved it.

[@D16S06]

Good old 'Boot-Necks' ..... always good to hear ...... BZ Royals!

[@RichCowell1980]

I would absolutely love to watch a military band play this piece... Love it

[@jeffdray2500]

If you can get through it without a lump in your throat...

[@nakedman94]

So much respect for all our armed forces however the Royal Marines are a cut above the rest!! God Save The Queen !!!

[@Wozza1534]

excellent video and music.

[@steveholmes7876]

Why would 9 people put a thumbs down to this the mind boggles is it because they don't like bands the military or this particular piece of music ?????

[@WalterDWormack214]

They've got "Ears of LEAD"! And they can't "carry a tune, with an INDUSTRIAL FORKLIFT!"

[@mikecook6506]

With Remembrance Sunday approaching, here's the Royal Marines!

[@magnakater1353]

This was always played when the BFN network in Tripoli District closed down at midnight when I was there between 1956-58. I was with 19 Armoured Workshops REME and 5 Medium Workshops Reme. Tony Burton

[@RiflemanMoore]

The best in the world.

[@dugbug99]

Composed by my Granfather Cpt. Arthur C. Green.

[@MotoCrazy66]

Well, he was an absolute genius to put in the C7th chord!

[@eddiecharlett-green3307]

+dugbug99 I am the son of the Cpt Arthur C Green! Who are you?

[@MotoCrazy66]

+Eddie Charlett-Green He's probably the son you didn't know you had, i would guess. But you're probably the better judge of that!

[@donco144]

That's awkward!

[@GunsSouthAfrica]

Aah that's why it's called green sunset 😊 I always thought it was actually after a green flash sunset.

[@steveholmes7876]

Would like to know who are the people who don't like this you or they have not just stumbled on it by chance you must have put it in to u tube to even watch what's up is it not upbeat enough for you remember sunset is to say good night or good bye to fallen comrades so don't watch it in future

[@irenekent4335]

A brother of mine a Marine had this played at his funeral

[@MrAndy979]

i love the way the bugle can still over power all the brass band.:)

[@dagsy1940]

The Royal Navy's Soldiers are the best there is.

[@mpgnz73]

F*cking epic!

[@PACFISHING]

The tune is sunset, the bugle call is retreat

[@JC-sc1rk]

God bless dad. Bootneck of Combined Ops WW2

[@MrAndy979]

@pyro999maniac ahh cheers for the info. but it still sounds amazin!

[@ThyRedCoat]

This video alone led me to take over the whole of Europe on Napoleon total war as Britain...

[@DrunkenHoboAdverts]

I've seen RMBS Devonport rehearse. Be jealous.

[@bloke372]

You never spoke a truer word

[@jayyorke-wade5844]

As a former Royal Air Force Cadet, I still snap to attention when I hear Sunset being played, even after close to twenty years.

[@ovoxrl]

General Slaute Present Arms !!!!!!!!!!!

[@3arnotg]

@blazer666del try playing it in front of 20,000 people then!

[@crzxr]

Yes, Britain should certainly be proud of its armed forces; but what a pity that the English language is so sadly shamed by writing something such as 'in a class of there own'. The possessive pronoun in English is THEIR.

[@caliburn50a]

@mpearson58 Yes and I'm a proud ex member 24500093

[@MotoCrazy66]

Copy that! This and Nimrod.
