Like you, the exceptionally slow playing of Elgar's Nimrod put me over the top when it came to tears - how could we Brits who grew up with music such as this, also 'Jerusalem', 'I Vow To Thee, My Country' etc., not be brought to tears. Memories of primary school and Grammar School days in Devon (I'm from Torquay), when we learned to sing those songs, come flooding back - the power of music, really beautiful music is unbelievable isn't it?<br />I wonder if British children listen to and learn those mighty patriotic songs today, I hope so. . . . . . . they could use all those phones they look at constantly to learn something wonderful for a change!<br /><br />Thanks also for including the mighty words of Churchill's inspiring speech. Words we were often made to listen to as kids, and feel so proud of, knowing they were a big part of what kept our parents and families together during the dark days of WWII.<br /><br />I'm certain Mr. Nolan's masterpiece will win many awards - and will perhaps be my only reason for watching those often awful TV shows when they next show up!<br /><br />Angela, do you mind if I link to your great post from my blog (A Breath of Fresh Air) please? I know I have readers who will enjoy it very much.<br /><br />Hope lovely Dorset is enjoying good summer weather - one of my favorite counties being a west country girl of course!<br />Mary -Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-87135376738350476242017-07-27T17:53:06.805+01:002017-07-27T17:53:06.805+01:00A lot of the flying sequences were shot here aroun...A lot of the flying sequences were shot here around Gosport last summer, we were treated to frequent displays of WW2 planes going over but to start with, no one knew why!Lynn Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300519765837463217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-36288359288583486692017-07-27T11:51:57.948+01:002017-07-27T11:51:57.948+01:00I have recently read quite a few books set during ...I have recently read quite a few books set during ww1 so this intrigues me!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-42701891471809281182017-07-26T23:58:47.327+01:002017-07-26T23:58:47.327+01:00Generally I am not keen on them either, but this o...Generally I am not keen on them either, but this one was different. I did not like the parts where ships were sinking and men were struggling and drowning though. That was distressing.
