As an English person, one takes a modest pride in the stiff upper lip and in Trying Not To Make a Fuss. But yesterday, a short clip on this openculture link had me weeping like Niobe [whoever she was].
It’s the children’s faces, the adults gradually realising something randomly beautiful was going on, the kids taking their earbuds out to listen… and the music. Music - especially violins – gets me every time.

Have a hanky ready. Oh, and subscribe to openculture. They are evidently a fine body of chaps.
