semi O/T

While watching the funeral, I noticed that a very nice song was sung. I believe it is called O Mamm, léif Mamm. Does anyone know the words of that song? I would greatly apprecitate it. I can't seem to find the words anywhere.

How were you able to watch it in the US?

How were you able to watch it in the US?

RTL.lu had streaming video of the entire event. I think it's still up.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Ok. I was just thinking about the lack of international programing on tv there.

Re;

Happy Birthday to the Grand Duchess.

It's still hard to believe that she's gone. - She always looked so regal when she came to Britain and I loved seeing her talking to late Queen Mother at the special birthday service.

 

[gaggleofcrazypeople]

Its amazing to think that it would have been her bday. It seems like just yesterday that she passed on.

Re:

I've just been looking through the photographs of King Harald and Queen Sonja's Silver Wedding Anniversary and Josephine-Charlotte looks so happy, laughing and joking. It was so sad to see her slowly decline and the Luxembourg RF doesn't seem complete without her.

 

[la francaise]

She will be truly missed and remembered .
