I have been lucky enough to watch the service for Harry Patch from outside Wells Cathedral today, and one of the songs sung was where have all the flowers gone. Does anyone of you clever people know who sang it. I have had a look on Google and got the words (and how fitting they are) but am still unsure who sang it.
Thanks for your help

Thank you so much for your answer. I have heard the song lots of times but today I actualy heard the words (I know that sounds wrong) and now I have read them I am very touched and a bit upset. I feel I must try and get a copy of the song to keep as a reminder.
Once again Thanks very much

thanks very much for that. i did not think to look on you tube.
No problem, Annette, congratulations on witnessing a little piece of history today, regardless of the sadness of the event

It must have been very moving for you, and, as Vic said, to experience a part of history, that, is alas no longer. xxxxx
I should have said "with us". We will always remember!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. It was a very good service and I now know (with your help) why this song was so fitting. It will always remind me of the day. (not forgetting our present day Soliders)

As far as I know, Pete Seeger is still with us - there were programmes on the radio recently to celebrate his (Ithink) 90th. birthday.
A great song. I was just in vicasso's link, I've always liked the Joan Baez version but I was quite impressed by Dietrichs.
