My dad was a commando in WW2 (8th Army, 9 Commando) he saw active service in North Africa, Italy and Greece. When he retired my mum and dad moved to Exmouth in Devon. Close to CTCRM (Commando Training Centre Royal Marines) Limpstone. My dad was a very quiet, unassuming man who did not garner public adoration. But when he passed away I was very surprised to see probably around 30 serving Marines attend his funeral. They came to honour an old soldier who'd served over 50 years previously. Marines are in a league of their own.

The lady doing the solo is amazing! What a voice!

[dgaven]

Composed 57+ years ago and is still one of the best sounds going.

[sunnyscott]

The voice of an angel wearing a military uniform.

Questa è la musica che ascolteremo in Paradiso, suonata dagli Angeli diretti da Ennio Morricone. Riposa in pace Maestro, la terra ti sia lieve. Magnifica interpretazione da parte della banda dei Royal Marines, bravi!

Das beste und schönste was ich bisher in meinem Leben, in dem ich bereits 59 mal die Jahreszeiten erleben durfte, gehört habe.
Es ist ergreifend vor allem der Gesang.
Was ergreifende ist denkt ein jeder an etwas was ganz besonders für ihn ist...
Die meisten Leute sagen man lebt nur einmal.
Aber das ist nicht so richtig...
denn man stirbt nur einmal und leben das tut man jeden Tag.
Macht bitte alle das Beste daraus und denkt nicht nur an euch. Gerade jetzt in dieser Zeit mit Krieg nicht weit von uns entfernt ist das besondere wichtig.

Quando il maestro scrisse queste musiche, la gran parte di questi artisti non era ancora nata, ma vedo l'emozione che provano nel suonare questi capolavori, sono orgogliosi di farlo e farlo bene!

What a great country Italia is… where the best ever sound composer, Ennio Morricone and the best ever movie director Sergio Leone came from the same elementary school and same class.

British Marines paying tribute to an Italian composer who wrote Mexican themed music for a Western set in America.

As a proud Englishman I'd like to say that the Royal Marine Band are the best military band in the world, without doubt.

[whanna]

Oh my Lord the trumpet trio were insane!!

[karlaschneider]

Was soll ich sagen, Ennio Morricone hat etwas großes geschaffen und die Royal Marine hat uns eine absolut phantastische Wiedergabe präsentiert. Unvergessen schön.. Danke an alle Mitwirkenden... Hervorragende Leistung ‼️👍🏻💖👋🏻

[keithfowler]

Is there anything they can't play ?. Without doubt, the best military musicians in the world.

[aldopassaseo]

E' fantastico sentire come le grandi opere musicali di Ennio Morricone possano unire in un tributo globale!

[garyjohnstone]

Marines are magnificent. My uncle stormed the beaches of Peleliu Island (Macarthur was taking back the Phillipines) losing an arm & awarded the purple heart. He was always grateful to have one arm left he said! 1st Division Marine Corp suffered 6, 500 casualties but won the day. What utter guts! Think about that number & not giving in.

When he died 60+ yrs later a full contingent arrived draping the coffin in the flag & carried him out. Marines never forget their fellow warriors. Fierce in battle but superb gentle men in peacetime. If your lucky enough to have one as a neighbour know that you are safe. Marines are the finest men God put on this earth. Balls of steel.

Let`s hear it for the Marines.

[lucav]

mamma mia! grazie ragazzi! se Ennio fosse qui avrebbe anche lui le lacrime per l'emozione...

[EricaFiore]

This came from just one human mind. What goodness we are all really capable of; if only? ...

[edsullivan]

These Royal Marines will challenge the very best that any US Forces Bands can muster. This old, Retired US Army Sergeant Major renders a Hand Salute to your Talented music!!

When 'The Big Fella' blows his Horn @ 7:22 secs, it made me feel so proud to be one of their 'Brothers in Arms' - (Part-time musicians they may be, but also Full-time Marines).
