Chapter 936: A Grand Scottish Funeral

ps: Pick up the pace, the funeral is over, it's time for revenge.

In addition, you can listen to the tunes written in this chapter, or you can find the album of the Royal Horse Guards Wind Ensemble to listen to it, and you can feel it when you watch it.

You can also find a video to see and feel it, however, I remember that there was a Scottish-style funeral video, but I couldn't find it, but you can look for the video of the Queen Mother's funeral to see, this can be found, almost all of them mean the same thing.

Bruce's body was left at home for two days, during which time Jensen barely spent time at Bruce's house, he had been running back and forth between the airport and the hotel, and Jensen was going to give Bruce a big Scottish wedding, and he had been busy about it for the past few days.

On the fourth day back home, Bruce was going to be buried.

Bruce had a faith, so the funeral was held in the church, and by 10 a.m., everyone was present at Bruce's funeral.

The entire Old One's Mercenary Regiment attended, some of Bruce's relatives, and some of Bruce's friends.

Morgan came, and in addition to Morgan, there was also Distin, who came to Seattle to participate in his funeral, and he was from Israel.

The group of relatives and friends of the Satan Mercenary Group did not come, and Grolev and Frye's relatives were in the United States, and they did not notify them, for the simple reason that as a whole, Bruce would be killed, which meant that they could also be killed, in addition to not wanting their families to worry, Grolev and Frye also did not want their families to affect their revenge actions.

There are not many people present at the funeral in the church. Bruce is a third-generation immigrant, but his family is not large. Three generations of single transmission, he has no close relatives, and few friends come, except for a few friends who have played with Bruce since childhood, his comrades in the army have not been notified.

They were all dressed in black suits, while Lady William wore a black skirt with a black top hat and a black veil on her head.

Lucica is dressed the same as Lady William. She didn't actually have a wedding with Bruce, nor did she officially marry Bruce in legal proceedings. But Lucica was dressed as a widow.

As for Jensen, he is dressed in a special way, he wears a traditional Scottish costume and holds a Scottish Highland bagpipe. Stood beside Bruce's coffin.

According to the funeral process, the priest was to start reading the eulogy for Bruce and praying for him, but instead of following the normal procedure, the priest signaled to Jensen that he could begin.

Jensen burst into tears, but didn't say anything, and when the farewell ceremony, which was part of the funeral, began, Jensen stepped forward, wept, choked up, and shouted, "Bruce." You're my brother, my best friend, and we've made an appointment to play bagpipes for you. ”

Jensen took a breath. Then the bagpipes were played.

The bagpipes sounded, and the weeping bagpipes were tear-jerking.

Jensen's qiē is a traditional, Scottish tradition, and he wears a low hat made of black sheepskin, a white feather stuck in it, and a black tweed jacket. Inside is a white shirt and a short skirt with black and gray plaid pleats underneath. He wears a large cloak of the same black and gray checkered, a black and white flask decorated with a long tail on his waist, woolen stockings of black and gray checkered, and black leather shoes with a white shoe hood on top.

Jensen played a piece called Grace of God, which is common at funerals in both England and the United States, and is indeed very suitable for funerals.

When the sobbing bagpipes were finished, Jensen took a step back, covered his face with his hand, and began to cry silently.

The pastor began to introduce Bruce's life, and at the end, the pastor read out a passage that exalted what they had asked to add.

He was a warrior who saved many people with his skills, and his courage and sacrifice. ”

Gao Yang listened with his head down below, and when the pastor had finally read all the eulogies and blessed Bruce, the people in the church looked at Bruce one last time.

Eventually, Bruce's coffin was closed, and after the priest placed a black velvet casket over it, Gao Yang suddenly realized that he would never see Bruce again, either alive or dead.

Next, it's time to send Bruce from the church to the cemetery for burial.

The cemetery where Bruce is to be buried is a cemetery, where his grandparents and father are buried.

There are a total of twelve people in the Satan mercenary group, and now there is one less, and there are eleven people left.

Lucica is Bruce's widow, and Irene, who is not suitable for carrying the coffin as a woman, and Jensen stands aside with bagpipes, so there are eight people who have to carry the coffin for Bruce.

Originally, there were only four people who carried the coffin, carrying the four corners of the coffin, but Gao Yang had eight people, and they didn't want to rotate, they all wanted to personally send their brothers on the last ride, so it was eight people who carried the coffin.

Jensen once again played a heavenly favor, exalting the eight men who lifted the coffin and walked out of the church.

Jensen, who opened the way, played the bagpipes and walked in the front, raising the coffin and following Jensen, behind whom were Bruce's relatives and friends.

After stepping out of the church door, the eight of them stopped and watched Jensen pass through the neatly lined line until they stood at the front of the line.

Yes, there was a queue outside the church.

Bruce was a soldier, and if he died in the service, he could have put on the flag, but he died as a mercenary, and when a mercenary died, there was no flag to cover, and no matter how heroic and great he died, he would not get any honor.

They can't make Bruce the flag, but they can give Bruce a funeral that only a warrior can get, a funeral for a Scottish warrior.

Outside the church there were seventy-four men, carrying bagpipes, trumpets and whistles, or marching drums hanging in front of them, all Scottish Highlanders, dressed in skirts similar to those of Jensen.

The army Jensen served in was probably not an army that could fight. But the army in which he served had the best bagpipe bands in the world.

The Royal Horse Guards Wind Ensemble, of which Jensen was a member, so. He wasn't one of the best soldiers, but he was one of the best bagpipers in the world.

It wasn't a surprise to play for Bruce at the funeral, so they knew what Jensen was up to these days, and he was busy inviting his former comrades to help give Bruce the honor that Scottish traditionally only warriors deserve at Bruce's funeral.

Jensen could have invited about twenty people, all retired bagpipers. Not necessarily an official member of the Royal Horse Guards Wind Ensemble, but definitely a first-class bagpiper player.

Jensen's comrades spread the news. When it was learned that one of Jensen's comrades-in-arms had died trying to save him, some people who had been retired for many years, and even those whom Jensen didn't know at all, came to Seattle. There were young men about the same age as Jensen, as well as old men in their sixties and seventies, and in the end seventy-four people came, and they formed a bagpipe band that was not only complete, but also huge.

Most of them came from England, and most of them came from Scotland, and a few from other parts of the United States, and some from other European countries, but not all of them lived in Scotland. But they are all Scottish.

It was impossible for the musicians who had served in a British army to be only Scottish, but since there was a funeral for a Scottish warrior, there were no Englishmen in the orchestra that was supposed to mourn Bruce. No Irish made up the numbers, no Welsh people made up the numbers, they were all pure Scots, otherwise their bands wouldn't all be in short skirts.

As Jensen made his way through the crowd, the dense beat of the snare drum rang out. As Jensen stood at the front, the trumpet and whistle sounded. Then, there was another dense snare drum beat.

Bruce's funeral was not a formal military funeral, no guns were fired, and no gun salute was held, but it did not prevent a group of Scots from playing the traditional military music for the Scottish warriors they did not know.

Jensen played the bagpipes again, this time to the tune of the Scottish warriors, and then the whole band had more than fifty bagpipes playing at the same time.

The whole bagpipe band began to play the Scottish warriors, and then, to the beat of the drums, the marching band in front began to march slowly and rhythmically and solemnly.

The band opened the way, and the eight of them carried the coffins to follow, and behind them were the relatives and friends who sent them to the funeral.

The bagpipes are not blown directly by mouth, but by blowing up to the windbag, and then squeezing the windbag to let the air flow through the woodwinds.

The music of the Scottish bagpipes was originally born from military music, and the high-pitched and mournful Highland bagpipes played by Jensen were suitable for bidding farewell to the blues.

The big band of more than 70 people was really shocking.

It takes ten minutes to drive from the church to the cemetery, at least half an hour to walk, and at least forty minutes to play bagpipes all the way, and Gao Yang and the others didn't plan to put the coffin in the car and transport it to the cemetery, let alone forty minutes, even if it was four hours, they would have to carry Bruce to the cemetery.

There will be vehicles and pedestrians on the way to the cemetery, and Gao Yang can't get the police to close the road because of a funeral, so they have to rush all the way to the cemetery on the road with pedestrians, but fortunately, the funeral route deliberately chose a route with relatively few pedestrians, and there will not be too many pedestrians or vehicles.

Originally, there were not too many pedestrians, and when the special and large funeral procession attracted the attention of many people, there were people in the houses on the side of the road who came out to watch, and oncoming vehicles would politely stop on the side of the road and wait for the funeral procession to pass before following, but Bruce's funeral seemed too grand and rare, and gradually, a purely pedestrian-made procession gathered behind and on both sides of the mourners, they just wanted to see this rare, and extremely artistic and tragic funeral.

The funeral procession cannot go unnoticed, which is expected, because, for the funeral of the British royal family, the scale of the bagpiper used is only that, of course, the funeral of the royal family will have soldiers wearing bearskin hats, wearing red military uniforms, there will be a guard of honor or something, the specifications will definitely be higher, and much higher, but, for the Scots, those they are not rare, they only need a pure Scottish bagpipe band is enough.

The music never stopped, the Scottish Warriors, the Scottish Highland Cathedral, for more than forty minutes, the band played several pieces until they sent Bruce to the cemetery, and the last time they played the song of the blessing of the deceased by the grace of God. (To be continued)
