Music video

The video for the song shows the story of a man travelling to return a photograph belonging to a dead soldier to the soldier's wife. The video was filmed in Dorset, a county in south-west England, and features scenes shot at Wareham railway station, houses and the valley in Swanage, the region around St. Aldhelm's Head, and the twelfth-century St. Aldhelm's Chapel. The scene in which the soldier dies was shot at Bovington Camp, where Blunt had been stationed during his service in the British Army, and soldiers from the camp participated in the filming. The video was filmed entirely in black and white.[2]
