Bless the heart of the Queen. I always marveled at how she never needed a hand in and out of any vehicle. Amazing always!

[@doristhebartender6725]

As someone who plays the bagpipes. I appreciate the sound of the pipes in mass bands. Especialy in tunes like scotland the brave and wings.

[@Woo5ter]

The rattle of the snare drum the sound of the pipes, gets me every time!

[@milkshake3350]

I agree, the pipes are truly awesome but let's not forget the beautiful drum too.

[@yugandali]

You've got to hand it to the queen. She's probably seen this all a hundred times, but she's giving the parade her full attention, like it's the most important thing she's seen.

[@neilhay4311]

The Queen is by far the most powerful and respected person on this earth....Nobody messes with the queen. 100% respect.

Here in North Carolina they hold the Highland Games at McCrae Meadows. A considerable number of Scottish people settled here.

[@SandieSmith4]

From as far back that I can remember, my parents took us five kids to the Highland games on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. I have always had a longing in my heart for the sound of the bagpipes playing and longed to “go back” to Scotland. I always felt that I had lived there before, since childhood. I’m 74 years old now and still feel that same longing.

[@antoniettacannizzo6642]

Amazing ! I love Scottish traditions

[@brendadrew834]

Ahh, stirs the Scottish ancestry I have along with Irish ancestry in this mostly Brit-American whose Scottish forebears came from Aberdeen, left Ulster, Northern Ireland and landed in Portsmouth, NH in 1721! Fought in the Revolutionary War, one wounded at the Battle of Bunker Hill! McGaffey is the surname on my maternal side. My late beloved mother and grandmother would have loved this as well! Thank you, love those kilts and the sound of bagpipes!♥♥

[@johnrodriguez5277]

[@Pasovineyard]

Well pipes and drums are the ultimate in marching bands. Not really possible to compete with this. Marched for years in bands and this is the ultimate.

[@maragomez214]

Lovely my queen, you chose the best colors for yourself, the colors of hapiness, hope, and life, God be blessed and you too.

[@TheOfficialDirtyDan]

The lady humming at 4:49 makes me really happy. She’s probably heard the song so many times and still loves it like she just heard it for the first time and it’s stuck on her mind. You have to listen closely to hear her humming.

[@ianmccrae5626]

Cant beat pipes .flutes and drums in Scottish music. Fantastic. No disrespect to other types of music played in Scotland God Bless the Crown

[@kamikazestryker]

Great performance ! And the Queen will be greatly missed she really is an icon of the world. Greetings from Germany :)

[@danieljames6716]

You know I always tear up when I watch stuff like this. The pipes mean so much to me I'm American but my family history derives directly from Ireland and Scotland. I'm a member of the Fraser clan and I'm just Soo proud of my heritage

[@marylingo5966]

I am American but the pipes still make me happy. My Grandfather was From Scotland, near Glasgow. Our family name is Ross. I love Scotland as though I was born there. We also have a daughter with bright red hair..... wonderful pipes and drums.

[@keithdonald7429]

Mary Lingo hi Mary greetings from Scotland may I point you in the direction of a documentary on you tube called the cheviot the stag and the black black oil early version and see what you're ancestors clan Ross and many others had to endure at the hands of these aristocrats shocking

[@marylingo5966]

Mary Lingo ((Ross): Get DNA tests done to find out exactly where you fit in. I’m 77, not Scotch, but love the nectar of Scotland. My last name is “Greene”, so I do have a bit of English in me bones.

[@Ida-iu3uj]

Wow. The reason I've been searching out this song Scotland the Brave is I happened by our local church and there was band practice with a pipe and drum band. Hadn't heard it in a long time. It was so great I had to stop what I was doing and listen. Something about the drums, just perfect here - simple and not too much. Mesmerizing. :)

[@saeedgul1423]

I love this band and when I listen while performing, I went back 4 and half decade, lot of My childhood memories Associated with this band, I sloute British era who alive this tradition...

[@redwoods7370]

The Queen’s death marked the end of an era that will never return. Gives me such a deep solemn feeling that is hard to express.

[@amc3]

So glad to see Her Majesty here to day with Prince Charles and the Princess Royal, Princess Ann. This part of Scotland is dear to their hearts. I hope the Queen has many more yours at this wonderful gathering.

[@jeffdavidson7495]

We were there last week to see this. I am from south U.S. (Florida) with some distant Scottish ancestry (Davidson). I automatically felt at home. I met some people having the the demeanor and humor which reminded me of my grand father. Not sure how to describe it in a short sentence. I will definitely go back to Scotland (Lord willing). I loved it. I was there with my wife and two adult sons. I am not up to speed with the politics but have studied the history somewhat. I have a theory that the spirit of the southern rebels came from the highlanders (Jacobites) after they were exported to the southern U.S. Not that we want to re explore that disaster.

[@asimealmuharrmi]

All places become blessed when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth visits it.. In the eighth minute, When the bagpipes's musicians begin to pass, and then the big drums come after them, the sound of Scottish music becomes something magical and amazing, as if the sound of bagpipes is the sound of the whining of human With the processof inhalation and exhalation, Then you feel as if you are drowning in the organs of the human body to pass through the lung to the heartbeat that is embodied here by the beats of drums ...This Scottish folk art, as if inspired by the memory of the fetus in the womb of his mother, he hears her exhalation and her inhalation, and also when she speaks, and then knocks her heartbeat ... Again I swear that this wonderful Scottish art is notmade by human, But by who created human "God".😍😍😍🙏

[@billneice3747]

From the U.S. I love the Pipes and Drums and have a question. It's my understanding that the red Hackle was or is to be worn by members of the Black Watch only. Is that still true?

[@BraemarMedia]

Aye, it was originally thought to be as a reward for their achievement at the Battle of Geldermaisen in 1794, but there is evidence to show that the Red Hackle was worn by the Regiment during the American War of Independence 1775-1783.

[@Backs4more]

Whilst the Black Watch are famous for the red hackle in military uniform, they do not have exclusively. Anyone can wear a red hackle in civilian uniform and plenty of bands do across the world and scotland.

[@a877ths]

If you want to identify yourself as British, then by all means that is your choice, but not everyone does or has to. I am a British citizen on paper, but I identify myself as Scottish born of Irish great-grandparentage. I have nothing against the English, Welsh or Irish but I believe we have the right to our own identities

[@weeddegree]

if your english and irish you more than likely have scot blood.. we all do we live on an island... lol

[@tradssalesone6334]

I am American , but ancestry mostly Scottish and English, with a touch of Irish and french. I identify more with the Scottish for some reason.

[@gazlink1]

As a Welsh/Engllishman I salute that sentiment. Well I have a tiny bit of Maxwell in me, but only 1/16. We are all BRITISH. And it makes sense to say that, even the English are mostly ancient Celtic Briton by ancestry (over 70%).. Even the English should be regarded as a country of long lost Celtic Britons. If only the Romans got to tell the Irish that they would be considered British too, we wouldn't have such an issue with that terminology.

[@greifinn24]

love the pipes and have always been jealous of the Scots right to wear the Kilt.

[@bjorgannasanders9922]

greifinn24:-- It's not only the Scots who wear the kilt. I am from Cornwall ( the Celtic region of South West England) and often wear the green,yellow and black plaid. "The Cornish Kilt".

[@bigboaby555]

@@bjorgannasanders9922 the 'cornish kilt' is just a kilt with a made up 'cornish tartan' there is nothing cornish about it , they make up tartans for anyone nowadays just to sell kilts .

[@nutyyyy]

It's not a right, anyone can wear a kilt, just follow the correct dress code and wear it well, no one here would be offended in the slightest.

If you'd like to wear a kilt; wear one. You can say you're related to me. I'll back you up.
