That was an amazing show of support from our most trusted ally. There is not a single word I can think of that describes the gratitude I feel for that single gesture. I can only hope that if any of our allies were attacked in a way such as that the President's Own band would do the same. A nation's top military band playing the anthem of another nation's is something truly remarkable and touching, especially in a time of turmoil such as 9/11. I hope that nobody ever forgets the outpouring of support and sympathy from the English. I will personally never forget how grateful I felt to them when I saw all those people waving American flags outside Buckingham and hearing the Royal Band performing our national anthem, nor should anyone else.

For such a loss, can't such politics be forgotten for a while. So what that the Royal Band played for the Americans. The Royal Forces' bands play all over the world, and have done for centuries, and hopefully will continue doing so for many years to come, as an act of defiance against the issues that are going on around the world at present.

No doubt 9/11 ,is a day of great sorrow and grief for the whole world.I being a Muslim feel as grieved on this day as any American.Hence,playing of Royal Band the US national anthem is a correct gesture which must be appreciated.

Respect for loss and sorrow? I don't think I know any anthem from other countries, this was very diplomatic of the Royal Band.

I've discussed this event on here before.
It was an amazingly powerful moment in my life that I will never forget, and I'm sure will be remembered by all the US Tourists at the Palace that morning who were thinking of 'back home'.
In the UK we felt so powerless to help, and such an inspired gesture we were able to portray our thoughts were with you in the US.

Didn't Bush come to the UK and gave his condolences to UK service man whilst he had never even bothered to visit the families of service men in the US itself?
Feudal politics if you ask me. No more, no less.
