The Band of The Grenadier Guards and The Last Post at the Menin Gate

[@terrys6772]

The Last Post has been sounded at the Menin Gate since 1928 except during the years of Nazi occupation. The day that Ypres/Ieper was liberated in September 1944 a lone bugler turned up and played The Last Post....It has been played every night throughout the Covid 19 Emergency in Belgium...God Bless Belgium.

This ceremony makes grown men cry....... So moving, I plan to return after covid.

[@colinsmith6116]

Very eyewatering. Thank you Belgium for showing respect to so many of the fallen.

Went many years ago when I was 12. I remember turning back at the walls before we left and suddenly seeing amongst the names someone with my same surname. A very moving ceremony especially in person

In my view, the Last Post at the Menin Gate is the most moving ceremony anyone can attend.

The last post is played every night, at this gate, I have had the pleasure, of attending many of these in the 1980s 1990s. well done to the people of YPRES and to the YPRES Police.

[@taiqidong9841]

The buglers are not police, they are firefighters and they wear the uniform of the volunteer fire brigade of Ieper.

My grandfather was in the Royal Field Artillery in Ypres during the First World War. Thank God he wasn't infantry.

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Fantastic...

[@jamesgood1058]

I’ve been there on a school trip. That exact gate. Cool.

[@patkins8319]

Went to the Gate as a young lad, the only understood the sacrifice after a visiting scared ground then venturing on to the Netherlands and experiencing the 8th airforce burial grounds.. Yeap it sucks walking along a line of graves 40 years before your Bourne except it was multiple rows of brave men

[@adunreathcooper]

What a sight!

[@donalddumas6987]

Firefighters are my heroes. Thank you also for your brave service!

[@davebrown9707]

Random comment on a video about a ceremony commemorating the fallen of ww1

[@billybrand]

@@davebrown9707 The reason for my comment of course is because it's the fire brigade who holds the ceremony. During conflicts firefighters and other first responders are tasked to deal with the outcome. Firefighters and other first responders are just as much at risk as any soldiers because they are are the front lines.

[@davebrown9707]

@@billybrand no they aren't yeah they are heroes but definitely not in as much danger as front line soldiers
