Still does. The UN building anyway. That said still get misty-eyed hearing God Save The Queen/King and The Star Spangled Banner and Scotland The Brave, the two countries I could ever call home. UK/Scotland, country of my birth, father's birth and paternal grandfather's birth. USA country we adopted. For my father and grandfather, another song they honor: The USAF anthem. Both of them were/are USAF veterans. I tried, too many health issues. Couldn't get past MEPS.

Yep, First Netherlands under Nieuw Amsterdam; then as New York under Great Britain. Now, with the United States under the same name

Well Nieuw Amsterdam

No fun fact I guess, but reason why just these anthems are played!

We used to be a major power until our allies f*cked our asses in the ground while keeping their own colonies.

Yours is the most beautiful

We hear it a lot in F1 now because of the two-time champion Max Verstappen

Lol you guys are up there, you guys ruled the waves before the British did. het Wilhelmus is an awesome song.

It's the best anthem too. And you Dutch are great at band music.

LOL. the two things are by no means mutually exclusive. ;-)

Or C. All the above 😆

All their livers will have PTSD. Semper Fidelis.

Indeed the two veterans of naval infantry and the new kid with lots of money.

@@pooletrainboy Who was at Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Tinian, Bougainville, Leyte Gulf, Saipan, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, the Chosin Reservoir, and Khe Sanh, again? The new kid, smarta**.

They’d be like what?????

@@Woodly6000plays yes

They would say that your comment is typical Anglo-Saxon arrogance as the world's leading military and economic power today is China and India will follow in its footsteps.

@@bestexperience3317 it isn't lol shush it's America

Washington would probably have believed it. King George, well, I think at best he would have said, "Maybe a long, long time from now." We often fail to understand that the US was a factor in European politics even then.

Dutch used to be so strong

@@kingscorpion2346 A Fair and Honest People..still Great..BTW I am not Dutch

And it says "Wilhelmus, Prince of Orange, I am of German blood".

What about the Japanese anthem?

@@CSWGamingYT it was not officially written as an anthem but as a love poem from an important Japanese dude to a girl in the 11th/12th (end of the Heian period) century it became an anthem much much later.

Long live the King of Spain . May the Dutch keep paying homage to His Majesty

@@rajivmurkejee7498 you don’t understand the context of the song.

I had no idea het Wilhelmus is the oldest national anthem in the world. I hear it all the time when Max Verstappen wins

Het Wilhelmus' melody was composed in 1568, making it's the world's oldest national anthem (by melody), for the national anthem with the oldest lyrics it's Kimigayo (Japan's national anthem), which the lyrics is from a Waka poem traced back from the Heian period (794-1185).

Dutch???? not anymore ... ;;; you're European.

Why is it that I always cry when I hear the star spangled banner?

Um. That was only the U.S.M.C band. That was about 60-75 musicians.

@@conjasummerlin1414 and the Royal marines

@@Angel_423 they didn't have their instruments to their mouths.

@@conjasummerlin1414 how could you even tell that they dont?

Double irony given is it was a Royal Navy drinking song and the words were written during a Royal Navy bombardment at Baltimore.

"To Anacreon in heaven" tune song....

This is true

@Ella&Rovi The words but not not tune. And the words were written as a poem not an anthem. In fact this is the second US National Anthem taken from the British.

The tune may have been a British song, however Mr. Francis Scott Key wrote all of the lyrics. America has so little right now with the partisan divide in our politics, just give us this one

England is a country high integrity. Very proud of its military, its life guards ect. Its a beautiful nation

What was this occasion?

Hi Mark, have you heard "Oh Canada". I believe is quite majestic.

They weren't defeated. They ran out of ammunition and moved away

The melody for sure.. the text hmmm..

@@dabomb9488 The text too. While it is from a distant time it is a reminder of what the country was built upon. I for one believe it is important and it has symbolic value to see the root of the tree.

@@Tsuma_Vento hmm kinda agree, but i see it as an national song as well. And the king of spain ive always honoured is kinda weird

Check out the Beating Retreat by the Royal Marines, that was the event.

I think it was the 350th anniversary of the Royal Marines in 2014 (the Corps traces its roots to 1664) and to its party were invited the two closest corps of Marines.

Yes, whenever the order for present arms is given, and a colour guard is on parade, both the colours (national or Queen's Colour and Corps/Regimental colour) are dipped.

@@Brecconable Sorry that's wrong. Only in presence of the queen or royal family (royal salute instead of general salute) and for remembrance purposes. Otherwise the colours are *never* lowered.

If you go to 2:18, you can see the royal standard of the queen on the left which is only flown when she is present.

Yeah so basically in the Army and Navy they have a Queens Colour and a Regimental Colour. The Union Flag is the Queen's Colour and is the same all regiments that have one bar their battle honours. The Regimental Colour is unique to that regiment and can be yellow or blue or red or green or whatever colour that regiments facings are, again with battle honours inscribed onto them. The Colour will only be dipped that way on the order of Royal Salute, Present Arms. If there isn't royal family member etc then the order will simply be General Salute, Present Arms. Also each battalion will have its own colour. This is usually the regimental colour with something to distinguish it from the other battalions. I don't really understand US Colours, but I assume those streamers attached to the top are also battle honours?

The term "Union Jack" should only be called such, when on a Royal Naval ship, otherwise it is called the Union Flag.

In British custom flags or colours are "trailled" (ie laid on the ground) in salute to royalty, or the fallen. It represents the subordination of all national and local symbols to the crown, and, ultimately, to God. In this case HRH the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who was taking the salute as Captain General, Royal Marines. Incidentally, the officer carrying the colour is termed the ensign in the British forces, that being traditionally the job of the most junior officer in the regiment, who would usually be an ensign in rank (now superceded by 2nd Lt).

it is more than frowned upon in the United States. My understanding, though, is that, at a military funeral, the UK flag is buried with the deceased. That does not happen here either.

Van Duitschen bloed does not mean German, it comes from the word Diets. It was what we now call the Netherlands.

@@rogierharms4016 thats not true willem was from nassua what was a german state in the holy roman empire

@@teunjordens5545 He indeed was from a German state, but Rogiers Harms is still correct. Duitsen bloed, refers to Diets bloed, het volks bloed.

Duitsche indeed refers to diets of duitsch waarmee mensen in de germaanse gebieden werden bedoeld( duitsland benelux etc)

@@teunjordens5545 you are right, he was from a German state, but I think that the idea of the clear difference of what was German or Dutch came only much later. It was more vague around this period. German was even commonly spoken in many parts of The Netherlands until the 19th century.

Who asked? God save the Queen!

@@norwegiannationalist7678 Exactly, God Save the Queen and our national football team.

Several years ago an American visitor was arrested outside Buckingham Palace for that very offence Mr Barber. I'm sure you wouldn't be over impressed if a foreigner did the same to the SBB.
