This reminds me of how strong we are, both Britain and Ukraine, and how we will stand steadfast in the face of any merciless bully. God save the Queen and may Ukraine be free soon!

      Fellow Daniel here from the UK. Ukraine has the truth on her side and no matter how much Russia tries they cannot and never will erase the truth. I hope we can get you all the support you need; militarily and economically. I see a new era of partnership between the heroic Ukrainian people and the UK and I hope we become great friends moving forward. You literally won't find anyone here who doesn't stand behind Ukraine in this war so we are all with you. Slava Ukraini! Glory to the Heroes, Glory to Ukraine! I forgot to add, I live in a small village and the village shop has the Ukrainian flag flying. So no matter what happens, just know that thousands of miles away your flag is proudly flying where it cannot be touched by brutal Russian bombs.

      Я присягаю тобі, моя країно, все земне вище. Цілий, цілісний і досконалий, служба моєї любові. Любов, яка не ставить жодних питань, любов, яка витримує випробування. Що лежить на вівтарі, найдорожчий і найкращий! Любов, яка ніколи не зникає, любов, яка платить ціну. Кохання, яке безстрашно приносить останню жертву! А є ще одна країна, про яку я чув давно Найдорожчий для тих, хто її любить, найвеличніший для тих, хто знає Ми можемо не рахувати її війська, ми можемо не бачити її короля. Її фортеця - вірне серце, її гордість - страждання. І душа за душею, і безшумно збільшуються її сяючі межі! І шляхи її - дороги лагідності, і всі стежки її - мирні!

      That's a nice thing to say but, I think it's because our culture's are very aligned.
      It's a pity that our history has that spell between 1900-1950 where we were enemies as we make very good allies due to our culture's being so similar. Hindsight may be a wonderful thing but, had the wars not have happened the world would be a better place due to the Anglo Saxon links with Britain and Germany.

      It's probably the music of Gustav Holst (inspired from folk tunes of the Essex village Thaxted). Music does have that power. It's like hacking nationalism into your soul :p That's why it's such a shame when it's used for the national propaganda of any nation. You take something universal and selfishly try to hide it in your little pocket.
      I guess that's going to be an unpopular opinion though, given that this comment section is filled with people regarding the EU as a communist union and praising Trump as a liberator so... feel free to dislike.

      Our special bond is unique. It's not just our share history and language. Not is it our cultural similarities in art. It run much deeper. It's our beacon of civil liberties and freedom and our tireless efforts to uphold the oppression and tyranny other in this world face. I am proud to have the United States as a friend and with God willing it's a relationship that will endure a millennia.

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.
    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.
    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we
    The torch; be yours to hold it

    I am proud to be an American, but I do so love this song! As I’m sure many of you know, the music is an excerpt from Gustav Holst’s “Jupiter”. My favorite piece of classic music, by the way! When Holst was supposed to write music to go with the poem, he was tired and overworked. So he was delighted to find that part of his work “Jupiter” would work just fine with the poem. And that is how “I vow to thee my Country” came to be. It should also be noted that Holst was British.

I remained on stage during the minute silence because I could hardly stand properly because of how moved I felt
