Even the song itself made me cry but when the dad came out I balled

[@emmaclayton4745]

the last 30 seconds of this reminds me why it is important to keep remembering

[@glitchgaming584]

last 30 seconds piss me off is he old man was a rating he would of been pied off. I've had mates who have had family die when they're away yet they don't gey flown off to say their last goodbyes even when the navy know they are at deaths doors. One rule for officers another for ratings

[@roberthimself7813]

At 5:30 the two girls look at each other in happiness because the girl all the way to the left nailed her part. So adorable to see the bond between them.

[@MyJeffreys]

Not to proud to say.. I shed a tear every time I watch this.

Thank you for having this on KZbin in 2023. What a lovely video with Heavenly voices. It was so lovely to see the deployed father walking down to his daughter in front of the Queen back 9 years ago with others from the Royal Family. That was so moving and inspiring. Thank you to all men and women who serve in every country. I love these Royal events in honour of our Defence Personnel. This was such a special moment for the Poppy Girls and everyone there plus all of us still saying thank you to everyone who helped make this special event happen. God Bless and Keep all. From Australia 🇦🇺 Louise.

I have one for u, OK its UK, but it has a message for all troops, Jon Tams'over the hills and far away'. no matter which country we come from, they all respect what we give them when they come home. I know we are a wee bit better, just watch 'home coming'.

[@Tocsin-Bang]

Cried my eyes out right the way through. I can still feel the same as these girls at 67 years old, the times dad wasn't there for Christmas, or birthdays, sports days, prize days, or just when I needed a hand on my shoulder saying "Its alright son."

[@melissachery20]

It started out as a feeling Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word And then that word grew louder and louder 'Til it was a battle cry I'll come back When you call me No need to say goodbye Just because everything's changing Doesn't mean it's never been this way before All you can do is try to know who your friends are As you head off to the war Pick a star on the dark horizon And follow the light You'll come back when it's over No need to say goodbye You'll come back when it's over No need to say goodbye Now we're back to the beginning It's just a feeling and no one knows yet But just because they can't feel it too Doesn't mean that you have to forget Let your memories grow stronger and stronger 'Til they're before your eyes You'll come back When they call you No need to say goodbye You'll come back When they call you No need to say goodbye

I had a son serving in the Australian armed forces and was sent overseas I was always very worried and concerned for his and his mate's safety and well being. When the young lady's father walked out I actually cried because it reminded me of my son returning home safe and sound. The 5 fathers would be the proudest fathers in the British forces I'm sure. All the very best to them.

Been working abroad half of my childrens life, never actually thought of not getting back until now - but after a fatal helicopter crash in Norway where 13 fathers where killed on their way home from working offshore to their families 2 days ago. That makes this song make perfectly good sense to me even though I'm not deplyed over seas in the armed forces.

THIS VIDEO IS SO RELATABLE FOR ALL OF US THAT HAS GONE THROUGH MILITARY BACKGROUNDS. THESE VERY DEAR AND SWEET GIRLS ARE WHAT ALL GIRLS GLOBALLY SHOULD TRY TO LOOK UP TO AS BEAUTIFUL ROLE MODELS. YES, I AM SURE THESE GIRLS HAVE GREAT PARENTS, BUT IT SURELY IS NOT EASY TO WATCH YOUR DAD, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DAUGHTER'S FATHER LEAVE FOR DEPLOYMENT. I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY CAPTIVATED AND MOVED, WHEN THE GIRLS WERE SINGING MY HEART WAS RACING. SO ANGELIC, SO BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR TONES, THEIR HARMONY, THEIR ONENESS. WITH THAT SAID, THE GIRLS HAVE A MOST RARE AND LOVELY GIFT THEY ONLY CAN SHARE...THEIR BOND THAT KEEPS THEM ALL CLOSE, NO COMPETITION, JUST A FEELING OF "FAMILY" BECAUSE EACH OF THEIR FAMILIES GO THROUGH SOME VERY STRESSFUL AND LONELY TIMES IN MISSING THE ONE THAT IS SERVING THEIR COUNTRY WITH SUCH A BRAVE SPIRIT. I HAD CHILLS THROUGHOUT THIS VIDEO AND WHEN THE MAN ANNOUNCED THAT THE FATHER OF THE YOUNG GIRL WAS AWAY...I KNEW HE WOULD SOON BE EMBRACING HIS DAUGHTER, AND THIS MADE MY HEART RACE FASTER. AS THAT HONORABLE MAN WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS SO MUCH IN A MILITARY STANCE, I WANTED TO RUN UP AND HUG HIM AND THANK HIM FOR HIS SACRIFICE TO HIS COUNTRY AND TO THANK HIS FAMILY FOR THIER SACRIFICE AS WELL. I WILL TRY TO FIND MORE VIDEOS OF THESE ANGELS. SO GLAD FOUND THEM. MAY GOD CARRY ALL THE FAMILIES THOUGH THE SAD AND TEARFUL TIMES, THE TIMES OF QUESTIONS...IS HE OK? IS HE SAFE? HOW IS HE FEELING? DOES HE KNOW SOMEWHERE OUT THERE....THERE'S SOMEONE THINKING OF YOU AND LOVING YOU TONIGHT (FROM MOVIE THE LION KING). I ASK THAT WE PRAY FOR THESE GIRLS, THEIR FATHERS, THEIR MOMS, SIBLINGS. MAY GOD GIVE YOU ALL PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING AND YES, I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOUR MOST LOVING AND RARE, ANGELS FROM AFAR.~~BEV~~USA~~BLESSINGS ALWAYS~~
