    At 5:30 the two girls look at each other in happiness because the girl all the way to the left nailed her part. So adorable to see the bond between them.

    Thank you for having this on CZcams in 2023. What a lovely video with Heavenly voices. It was so lovely to see the deployed father walking down to his daughter in front of the Queen back 9 years ago with others from the Royal Family. That was so moving and inspiring. Thank you to all men and women who serve in every country. I love these Royal events in honour of our Defence Personnel. This was such a special moment for the Poppy Girls and everyone there plus all of us still saying thank you to everyone who helped make this special event happen. God Bless and Keep all.

    It started out as a feeling
    Which then grew into a hope
    Which then turned into a quiet thought
    Which then turned into a quiet word
    And then that word grew louder and louder
    'Til it was a battle cry
    I'll come back
    When you call me
    No need to say goodbye
    Just because everything's changing
    Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
    All you can do is try to know who your friends are
    As you head off to the war
    Pick a star on the dark horizon
    And follow the light
    You'll come back when it's over
    No need to say goodbye
    You'll come back when it's over
    No need to say goodbye
    Now we're back to the beginning
    It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
    But just because they can't feel it too
    Doesn't mean that you have to forget
    Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
    'Til they're before your eyes
    You'll come back
    When they call you
    No need to say goodbye
    You'll come back
    When they call you
    No need to say goodbye

    I had a son serving in the Australian armed forces and was sent overseas I was always very worried and concerned for his and his mate's safety and well being. When the young lady's father walked out I actually cried because it reminded me of my son returning home safe and sound. The 5 fathers would be the proudest fathers in the British forces I'm sure. All the very best to them.

    THIS VIDEO IS SO RELATABLE FOR ALL OF US THAT HAS GONE THROUGH MILITARY BACKGROUNDS. THESE VERY DEAR AND SWEET GIRLS ARE WHAT ALL GIRLS GLOBALLY SHOULD TRY TO LOOK UP TO AS BEAUTIFUL ROLE MODELS. YES, I AM SURE THESE GIRLS HAVE GREAT PARENTS, BUT IT SURELY IS NOT EASY TO WATCH YOUR DAD, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR DAUGHTER'S FATHER LEAVE FOR DEPLOYMENT. I WAS SO EMOTIONALLY CAPTIVATED AND MOVED, WHEN THE GIRLS WERE SINGING MY HEART WAS RACING. SO ANGELIC, SO BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR TONES, THEIR HARMONY, THEIR ONENESS. WITH THAT SAID, THE GIRLS HAVE A MOST RARE AND LOVELY GIFT THEY ONLY CAN SHARE...THEIR BOND THAT KEEPS THEM ALL CLOSE, NO COMPETITION, JUST A FEELING OF "FAMILY" BECAUSE EACH OF THEIR FAMILIES GO THROUGH SOME VERY STRESSFUL AND LONELY TIMES IN MISSING THE ONE THAT IS SERVING THEIR COUNTRY WITH SUCH A BRAVE SPIRIT. I HAD CHILLS THROUGHOUT THIS VIDEO AND WHEN THE MAN ANNOUNCED THAT THE FATHER OF THE YOUNG GIRL WAS AWAY...I KNEW HE WOULD SOON BE EMBRACING HIS DAUGHTER, AND THIS MADE MY HEART RACE FASTER. AS THAT HONORABLE MAN WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS SO MUCH IN A MILITARY STANCE, I WANTED TO RUN UP AND HUG HIM AND THANK HIM FOR HIS SACRIFICE TO HIS COUNTRY AND TO THANK HIS FAMILY FOR THIER SACRIFICE AS WELL. I WILL TRY TO FIND MORE VIDEOS OF THESE ANGELS. SO GLAD FOUND THEM. MAY GOD CARRY ALL THE FAMILIES THOUGH THE SAD AND TEARFUL TIMES, THE TIMES OF QUESTIONS...IS HE OK? IS HE SAFE? HOW IS HE FEELING? DOES HE KNOW SOMEWHERE OUT THERE....THERE'S SOMEONE THINKING OF YOU AND LOVING YOU TONIGHT (FROM MOVIE THE LION KING). I ASK THAT WE PRAY FOR THESE GIRLS, THEIR FATHERS, THEIR MOMS, SIBLINGS. MAY GOD GIVE YOU ALL PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING AND YES, I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOUR MOST LOVING AND RARE, ANGELS FROM AFAR.~~BEV~~USA~~BLESSINGS ALWAYS~~
