Excellent tribute! Thanks for pointing out the Polish Servicemen of World War II. I had the honour of working for one of the widows of a Battle of Britain [10th of July to Samhain 1940] fighter pilot, Mrs. June Kotarski, and meeting another, Fred Bankofski and his Irish American wife Catherine. Despite studying history all through secondary school and university, I never learned that the RAF Polish airmen were instrumental in that first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces, that the Royal Air Force was 20% non-British, and that other shining stars like Paddy Finucane saved the day against Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. Thanks for keeping history alive!

Good for you David. History belongs to everyone, just as the Irish language belongs to all people who wish to partake of it irrespective of background. We should all take a healthy interest in our differences.

I’ve done the full tour three times. It’s really interesting as the guides don’t all show the same places, it is part of their story. Really informative , and as an English born woman, I wasn’t brought up with unbiased news. Well worth doing, and worth doing more than once.

*To Whom It May Concern* I hold my head in shame for I am an ex-Brit and I would like to take the time to apologize for baring arms in your Country during December 1987 - April 1988. I was based at Fort Whiterock, Springfield Road, Turflodge, to this day I remember so many terrible incidents will remain with me forever. The Riots in Turflodge before and after The Gibraltar 3 were being returned home, dealing with the aftermath of the two Signalers who drove onto the funeral presession, finding a man who had just been knee-capped on The Andersonstown Road. Known now about the betrayal of The British Government and all the lies and cover up's that happened during my time and all the collusions with The RUC and The British Government with regards to The Funerals and all the drama's that went along with them sicken me. May All Concerned Who Lost Their lives During The Troubles Rest In Peace, Amen.

I have a mixed family, I had family members who served, ironically all three were the Catholic side of my family (TA and Nuc Submariners) which I found odd. Not one from the other side served the country that had become home. My first boyfriend was a Celtic fan like me albeit a Protestant, no-one cared, the only trouble he experienced was 4 Rangers fans putting a bottle over his head for wearing his Celtic shirt. I can't imagine anyone being angry at you learning history from both sides, I think its important to us all. Hopefully we will have fans attending the games again, they aren't the same without. Let the people sing; whether it be the Sam or Rule Britannia. Godspeed!

Jesus Christ had mercy on me Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Fascinating video and channel - I've just subscribed thank you. Can I use this platform to raise the dreadful miscarriage of justice that is Jeremy Bamber in his 38th year in jail for allegedly killing his family - he didn't. He knew Gerry Conlon in jail, though not as well as he knew Paul Hill who he describes as the "coolest cat I've ever known". He took Paddy Hill's cell when he was released and was also good friends with Richard McIlkenny and less so, Billy Power. They all know (or in Gerry and Dick Mc's case, knew) that he is innocent. There is a mountain of evidence on OfficialBamberVideo on KZfaq covering why his frame up and trial were a sham and why he is innocent. I fully understand why you may take this comment down as it detracts from your subject but when I saw Gerry's grave I couldn't stop myself. I only want to direct people to the OfficialBamberVideo channel outlining Jeremy's innocence beyond any doubt. Many thanks

Robert Curtis died on The 6th Feb 1971 and Hugh Mc Cabe died on The 15th Aug 1969. It`s always been a mystery as to why he wasn`t officially listed by The Government as he was clearly killed first.
