[QUOTE=Mark2009;1254448]Another to give me goosebumps is flowers of the forest on bagpipes.

A good friend of mine who sadly died earlier this year, born in Greenock and served in the Royal Navy; had the "Flowers of the Forest" played by a lone piper who led his coffin into Accrington Cremetorium.
My handkerchief was more than damp that day, the skirl of the pipes always seems to have that effect on me.
