21:45 it was wonderful to hear a Sri Lankan song being performed by two Sri Lankan West End performers! How fantastic!!
That was so beautiful. Sung by two beautiful people with stunning voices 🇱🇰♥️🇦🇺
Traitors!
Would be awesome if someone can fetch the srilankan Sinhala opening song lyrics in simplified English version! 😀👌🦚
😊
Yes. Lovely.
Thank you so much the BBC! We are most grateful to have seen the entire Celebration at the Abbey! I do believe Her Majesty would approve.
Very touched to see the Maori at the welcoming of the King and his darling wife to this Commonwealth Day Service….so close to His Majesty’s Coronation. I’m proud to be part of the Commonwealth
Love and aroha from Aotearoa New Zealand
Sri Lankan performance "Anagathaye" Starts at 21:43 🇱🇰
That song The National Ballet of Rwanda performed was beautiful and soul stirring!
From The Commonwealth of Australia. Happy Commonwealth Day to all citizens spread out throughout our planet 🇦🇺 👑
Grtgs too ALL our COLONIES !!!! ❤❤❤
Super proud of you guys. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thinking of Her Majesty The Queen, God Rest Her Soul. She would have enjoyed this. God Save The King, and bless all The Royal Family.
Did anyone notice the exchange between His Majesty and the Duchess of Edinburgh, the shoulder bump. Looks like they have a very easy going relationship between them to do that in public!❤
Amazing performance by Nuwan and Roshani 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰 making our motherland proud ❤
Happy Commonwealth day family 👑🇳🇿💐 God Bless The King and The Wales, Long shall they Reign

As a sri lankan i am so proud to be a part of commonwealth . And so beautiful sinhala song. Long live the king.
What a wonderful service. Simply magnificent. Shared values, shared respect❗️ 👌
woow that Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 performance gives me goosebumps. great power and elegant ❤❤❤ 21:47
Look at all these messages of unity and friendship. This is what makes the commonwealth special. Amazing performance from the Sri Lankans. May you all have an amazing day.
So happy that BBC and CZcams brought us this wonderful service in its entirety. Thank you very much. Brings home a little closer to those of us far away
Only British people care for this scam because they benefit from it. Let’s have a global referendum instead.
My goodness how beautiful the Abby looks! 🤩
This Commonwealth Day Service was so beautiful and moving!
So proud of two beautiful souls from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🇱🇰🇱🇰
Lovely performance ❤️❤️
Happy Commonwealth Day to all of you
Happy Commonwealth Day 💫
Long live King Charles III
What a lovely service - so varied, so thoughtful, so diverse, and with beautiful music. The Commonwealth is truly a wonderful organisation.
Yes, it was wonderful Service. ❤️. So diverse. I'm sure it's a small preview of what his coronation will be like. Excited to see.
Totally with love, pride and compassion

Why do all these abbreviations, I as a 64 haven't got a clue what they mean. Just brilliant. This should happen in the cornation, there is only one god
Happy Commonwealth day ..
Very proud moment as a Sri Lankan..
Absolutely Beautiful and Regal. I’ve always been a Monarchist, and I love being a small part of the Commonwealth.
All our parts, whether large or small, make up a wonderful whole. Long live our Commonwealth!
Me too :). The King's Speech ended with "for the global common good."
The Bible reading Isaiah 11:1-9 ended with "For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters covers the sea."
God bless KC's reign and pray that he may totally depend on God for the future.
My sentiments exactly 😊❤ how lovely everyone was joining in. So very proud to be Welsh ❤
Loved this Royal Family line up, all incredibly hard working and dedicated 🇬🇧👑❤️
Nothing but a bunch of free loaders. "Camilla showed no respect for the Maori Kapa Haka group.
@@steersman-zv2ng
Totally agree with you. They all are just bunch of hypocrites.
@@steersman-zv2ng
She looked COLD!! KC stuck it out and thats who counted
@@steersman-zv2ng
Bunch of freeloaders brought in BILLIONS of tourist trade last year for their Nation.
So many children…wonderful for them to be part of celebrating hope for a better future.
What a beautiful ceremony ❤❤❤
Beautiful Sinhalese song from Sri Lankan singers ❤ well done guys and happy commonwealth day to all of you🎉
it was beautiful for sure! Cheers from Canada!
BBC well done thank you for putting it on you tube so we all can see this celebration
I loved how the King and the Prince of Wales' personnel bowed and curtsied to our new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh as they took their seats in the Abbey. Congratulations to the Edinburgh's, Johnnie, Rob et al.
What a beautiful 🇱🇰 performance ❤.loved it
Always love the choirs. Just beautiful. Every one of the performers from many different cultures was brilliant. So interesting, alive and spiritual. Just love this celebration of people and cultures. Nothing like it anywhere. The sax was ❤
I'm so proud to hear those beautiful voices from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 😍 ❤️
Greetings to that COLONY!! 💖
Beautiful service. Such joy and pride on the faces of the musical performers.
Happy Commonwealth Day! Beautiful and meaningful celebratory service! Thank you BBC for providing a live stream.
Happy Commonwealth Day and what it represents, humanity united , order, ageless wisdom , respect , spirit , light and love ……thanks to the Royal family for serving with such grace this international family 🙏❤️🇨🇦
So it doesn’t represent the countries that the UK destroyed 😂
Totally and may God's hand sustain the RF and Commonwealth leaders
@@devyud5719 For example?
@@neilmcbeath954 all the countries ? E.g India 45 trillion was robbed, same goes with Sri Lanka and all the south Asian countries. Africa etc.
@@devyud5719 Bad news. India and Sri Lanka are both members of the Commonwealth. So far as "Africa etc." (sic) is concerned, Egypt, Somalia, Sudan and Zimbabwe are not members of the Commonwealth. Neither is South Sudan, but the government there has expressed an interest in joining. The first three of those countries all have a complicated historical relationships with Britain - Egypt was never a colony; Sudan was (officially) Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Somalia was divided between the British and the Italians. To balance this, however, Mozambique joined the Commonwealth in 1995, and Rwanda followed suit in 2009. Both countries are part of "Africa etc." and neither had any colonial ties to Britain.
As an American, I am so happy to watch this event on youtube again. It's nice that the diversity of several nations can come together once again .
Thank you for your lovely comment, we appreciate it ❤
As a Zimbabwean of British ancestry, I send my love, best wishes and kind thoughts to the UK and her good people. All Britons around the world can celebrate our ancestral home and our fellow kith and kin. 💚💚🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you for such beautiful words.
@mtoyimwenye nguvunyi My pleasure 💚💚🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊.

Lovely words. Thank you 💐
o to be rich like some
Beautiful ceremony indeed ,with wonderful cultural dance from Rwanda🇷🇼( land of a thousand hills)
Love love Commonwealth Day they were all brilliant. People forget the reason why the late Queen fought her whole life to bring People together for PEACE. She lived through WW2 she realised that we don't ever want to go there again. Through unity and respect of diversity we can pull together and create peace. If anyone is in any doubt about supporting the monarchy this should be it. Because there is no Government that could achieve this.
What a stunning performance and an outstanding celebration that will mark my lifetime! So simple, but phenomenal!💙🖤🤍💛
21:43 What a performance!😍🇱🇰
Proud to b a Sri Lankan. Lovely and absolutely amazing performance by Roshani Abbey and Nuwan Perera. V r truly proud and blessed. Loved the entire service ❤️☝️👏👌 Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Outstanding Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey. The King spoke very well in terms of the future of the Commonwealth and the importance of our relationships with one another. Very special to see the Royal Family so well represented.
This is from Sri Lanka to the whole world!
Thank you Sri Lankan performers. what a beautiful talent. we love you
As a Sri Lankan, so proud about our talent performed infront of His Majesty...! 😍🇱🇰👑
I thoroughly enjoyed that, a wonderful service and beautiful music and so lovely to see each of the Royal family members out together❤️
srilanka is so proud of the performance nuwan and roshani ❤️ 21:45 🇱🇰
Great Celebration today Commonwealth Day. The Late Queen would be so proud of Her Children and Grandchildren. The Haiki was wonderful
I'm from the U.S. and I love and respect your traditions so much...Unity ❤
Jackie, I think what a wise person takes away from this Commonwealth Day Church Service is the very practical concept and recognition of, "irrespective of parts of our mutual common history and heritage, the bond that still holds us together is far greater than that which could have divided us" . As the Islamic cleric said, "God could have created us all the same but he created us different so we could recognise one another.
AWESOME service today. Excellent message and tribute to all the peoples of the Commonwealth. Absolutely loved the sax player playing in the aisle.
Well done King Charles❣️
Poppy Rowland why well done King Charles?
Why not? He hosted the event in our foremost cathedral. He showed welcome, honour and respect to citizens of the 56 nations invited... Poppy has shown gratitude of his support and hospitality.
The Sri Lankan performance at around 22:00 is very impressive! Specially the duet part! They blend very well. Love from 🇵🇭
happy to see the King and Queen and the Wales. love love the commonwaelth family. miss you Queen Elizabeth. the commonwealth is not the same without you
As an Englishwoman in Canada, I am so very proud to be a part of the Commonwealth of Nations. God Bless our Royal family at home base in England and may God Bless King Charles III. Long may he reign.
I want to be a part of the Commonwealth and I'm a Texan! 💞😂
@@heidisexton5928 😅😅😅
@@nythabm814 Im actually serious. 🕊️
@@heidisexton5928 In order to request to join the Commonwealth, a country has to have a prior constitutional relationship with a current member. That's it. In practical terms, this usually means being a former British colony or protectorate, but that's not always the case. For example, Pakistan was originally part of India, and Bangladesh was originally part of Pakistan. Having said that, the U.S. would be eligible as a former British colony.
@@noahmcvay1281 I (obviously) know this. 🙄
Wonderful to hear and watch this wonderful ceremony. ❤
