Seeing Britons playing our national anthem in public and making a standing ovation is a strong symbolic gesture. As a Frenchman, I am touched. Thank you...👍👏💚

Even years after, I have every “difficulty” not crying when seeing and hearing this exceptional tribute to my country, all the more so coming from the greatest country on earth. We never will forget this.

One of the most beautiful melodies of all national anthems.

All the best to the people of France from Serbia!

I see that more than 4 years after, and it moves very deeply. Wow, La Marseillaise played in the Royal Albert Hall, and all the people standing up ! In that kind of terrible moments, our small disgreements seem so ridiculous. It's through hard times that one can count our real friends. Thanks from Paris.

Far and away the greatest of all national anthems. Never fails to raise the pulse or to inspire patriotism.

In the 1950s, at school, in England, we sang La Marseillaise, with triumph in our voices.
Vive La France.
