I've seen it several times before but it always makes me well up.

Did you know that when they filmed this, only the first two horses in the hitch went down on one knee? The rest are all CGI'd. Apparently it would have been too dangerous to have the whole team kneel, as the ones in the back could easily get entangled with the traces in front of them.

Extremely moving. I have seen it before but could watch again countless times. I also love the one from the last Superbowl of the man rearing a young Clydesdale foal then it becoming a Budweiser Clydesdale. He goes to watch it and thinks it doesn't remember him, then comes galloping back to him.

 

[Hairy Old Cob]

Tear to the eyes again having watched it counless times and all the other Budweiser Clydesdale clips on you tube are just brilliant.

A little known fact. This add was only shown once in 2002 on prime time TV in the United States.

Lovely. I'm so glad you posted this.

I am a "City worker" and this was the only tribute or reminder to 9/11 I've seen all day. The one minute silences we had for a a few years afterwards seem an all too distant memory.

I still remember exactly what I was doing at that exact time 12 years ago.

I've been sad all day thinking about 9/11. I flew to NY a lot, and loved going up the towers, and looking at that skyline. It breaks my heart every year. Some things are never forgotten.
