[Glorfindel]

3. Great! Our British cousins almost always get it right...

in this case, exactly right. Thanks for posting this, phylny.

[zipplewrath]

10. 9/11

They so often get it right. After 9/11, they played the Star Spangled Banner. That's a heck of a gesture considering that the song is about the US winning a battle with the British. The British virtually define the concept of "class". And it draws such a contrast with the current Moron in Chief.

[kag]

29. Agreed!

I remember that after 9/11. For weeks afterward, whenever I would watch that clip I would tear up.

[Hamlette]

36. I had to, and yes I cried again. Beautiful and classy.

Big words from me...mama didn’t get enough sleep last night.

[luvtheGWN]

I'm betting the band had a blast rehearsing and playing it!

[lpbk2713]

They have a good sound.

18. What a great start to the morning

[2naSalit]

19. That was very cool!

[MiniMe]

20. That is wonderful

But I did want them to break out in a little dance. I guess that wasn't the place for that.

[ChazInAz]

39. I suspect

Anything more vigorous than a sedate waltz would be difficult while wearing one of those bearskin shakoes.

[sdfernando]

21. This is so awesome

The Queen R E S P E C T S the Queen!

and kudos to the poster in the comments that used the term f*ckpickle for the White House occupant. That got a real chuckle out of me.

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Well played, good fellows. Well played.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

23. Well, I wasn't expecting that. NT

[spicysista]

30. Oh, wow...

She would have loved it!

[LAS14]

31. K & R! Thanks!

[smirkymonkey]

32. That is so awesome!

After the horrible way our president has treated them, they still have the graciousness to honor a great American artist. Well done England!

[Iggo]

33. Nice.

[EffieBlack]

34. From one Queen to another

Beautiful.

[cp]

35. Makes my heart sing

[JuJuYoshida]

[TygrBright]

40. Bless 'em.... such a nice gift. A big smile today. Thank you! n/t

[dalton99a]

41. Awesome.

[lindysalsagal]

42. Too bad Monty Python is off the air.

Because there's a year's worth of material in that military rendition of her song.

But, hey- good for them!

[Scurrilous]

43. K&R

[IcyPeas]

44. this is just so, so, cool.

[Nevilledog]

45. That was amazing!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. Oh this made me tear right up!

[Totally Tunsie]

47. AMAZING! How cool is that?

[underpants]

51. That's pretty cool.

[SergeStorms]

48. Out-fucking-standing!

Our Brit friends have far more R-E-S-P-E-C-T for our musical heroes than a certain orange-skinned moron with a mangy dead opossum on his head.

[Control-Z]

50. Thank you. eom

[BeyondGeography]

52. Power of music

Awesome.

[VOX]

53. Absolutely awesome. The U.S. should beg to be a commonwealth nation.

And ask for a pass on the American Revolution. Anything to class-up our swiftly sinking country.

[Hortensis]

54. Ah, gee. Got through all coverage without crying,

but just got blindsided by this.

A lovely tribute.

[Honeycombe8]

55. I'm so moved. How "respectful" of Great Britain & the Guard to do that.

And to think that Trump has been disrespectful to our allies. I'm glad they separate the American people from Trump.

[trof]

56. PLEASE tell me that's not photoshopped or whatever.

[Totally Tunsie]

57. It's very real, indeed!

Even covered by the NC Nightly News.

[Totally Tunsie]

58. They'll play the same tune for tRump...

but change the title and words to:

A-S-S-H-O-L-E
That is what you'll always be.
A-S-S-H-O-L-E
You're gone, happily.
Always "me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me"
A yuuuge asshole, "me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me"

[TomSlick]

59. Outstanding!

Good arrangement for a military band.

I couldn't tell from the video if it was a tuba or a bass trombone but somebody was nailing the bass line.

Out-stinking-standing!

[DFW]

60. What an honor! This came out (Hillaretha and the Democrettes) way too early:

[Lithos]

62. NICE!!!

Nothing is done like this without the Queen's permission....

[proglib217]

63. What a tremendous honor!

That just blew me away. I'm speechless.

[demsocialist]

64. That is the coolest thing........

Hey, to the queen!!!

[peggysue2]

65. Amazing!

I've seen the Changing of the Guard. Would have loved to have been there this morning. What a wonderful tribute.

[2naSalit]

66. Here's the whole thing...
