Thank you Britain. This makes me even more proud to be British. A Queen who unites us as a nation in difficult times, and our people who stand together to remember past heroes and celebrate our current ones. You make me cry tears of joy, pride and humility. What a great nation. Thank you.

You have to love the people of the UK. They never give up, ever! I’m so emotional, now. Love from Italy.

I am Canadian ! My mother sang this song while my father was in Europe during WW2, for 2.5 years. At 96, she now lives in a Nursing home. As soon as we can visit, I will make sure that she listens to this beautiful rendition.

I like this! I am an American and a great admirer of the British people. I certainly appreciate your stalwart, courageous character and EVERYONE in the western world especially should be thankful for the extreme sacrifice your nation displayed during one of the darkest periods of the last century. I admire your Queen for her unwavering sense of duty and commitment and for her gracious, dignified manner.God Bless.

I can't let this day go by without remembering...I was seven years old...didn't really know then the significance of it all. Tonight I'm crying like a baby with gratitude for those who paid the price...

I just have to say as an American that the British are such wonderful people 🇬🇧

[Sam-vyye]

Australian here, the British are a powerful people. If anyone can pull through the pandemic, it would be the ones who pulled through the Blitz.

[claudiarouse]

Even though I'm an American I sang in solidarity with all of Britain earlier. I just now saw this video after watching the queen's speech and started crying and singing all over again .

[maggiemalone]

That made me cry but the tears were of happiness and hope.

[MRNSFRTRMP]

The Brits just know how to do it.  Beautiful.

[luisfilipe]

From Portugal to everyone in Great Britain this is a beautiful version of the fabulous Dame Vera Lynn song. You should all be very proud. God bless Great Britain.

[igotthatgoinforme]

Even as an American that brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for this it was beautiful.
