That Last Post vs Southampton

[levets]

Has anyone got a clip of it?

Incredible performance from the young lad yesterday. In 20 years of attending Armistice Day games, I've never heard a Last Post performed so impeccably.

Note perfect throughout.

It got me properly emotional. To stand up in front of 55,000 and perform like that took serious guts. Fantastic stuff - his family should be proud.

Yes agree, there’s usually a flat note,mbut this lad delivered it perfectly. Every note was bang on.

Found it. God, he approached it perfectly.

Wasn’t that good? Goosebumps.

Don’t know how many of you been to Ypres and the Menin gate but before the ceremony you are asked not to clap after the last post .
As soon as the last post finishes people just walk away solemnly , l know every time I’ve attended I walk away with a tear in my eye .

I hope I visit there, one day. Both my Grandad and Great Grandad served in France.

You definitely should , there’s a bunch of us who’ve been going over there for the last 17 years.
Going to the Somme next July .
Just out of interest did they come home or did they fall over there .
Regardless you should find out where they fought and visit , I can promise you it will be worth it .
Respect to your grandfathers .

One of the best things about attending football matches this time of year. Yesterday’s rendition of the last post was pretty near flawless . Outstanding effort. RIP the fallen.

A superb rendition and show of respect.

Congratulations to the musician.

Slightly off topic.
At my brother's funeral I held it together all day mainly for mum and dad but when the flags dropped as the last post was played that was the final straw

Completely agree. Always very moving but far and away the best rendition I have ever witnessed

Can well and truly understand that, been there myself.

Thought exactly the same thing and I’ve heard a lot in my time but that was the best in a stadium ever.
