Matteo Messore, 22, shared the video on his Youtube page which showed him leaning on the grave stones of soldiers who died in the Second World War. According to the Sun, the one and a half minute rap video also features vile lyrics about the Queen and was shared just days before Remembrance Sunday. The newspaper reports that the video was filmed in a Commonwealth War Graves cemetery near Cassino in southern Italy. The site commemorates over 4,000 Commonwealth servicemen who took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino as part of the Italian campaign of the Second World War.

The two soldiers served in the Queen's Own Royal West Kent regiment and both lost their lives in May 1944. The video has sparked outrage among the military community, with personnel condemning it as 'highly offensive'. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission told the Sun: 'We do not believe this was respectful to the war casualties buried in this historic site and have reported this to the authorities and are requesting the video be removed from all platforms.

It is understood Italian police are looking into the matter. Meanwhile, ex-army chief General Lord Dannatt branded the stunt 'highly offensive' while the British Legion said all war memorials and graves should be treated with the 'utmost respect'. Matteo, known as 'Mex the King', told the Sun: 'I don't see what the problem is. Kids go in there all the time to drink beer and smoke a joint. 'I was just making a drill video and thought the location was a good one. 'Even if I said sorry to the Queen, I don't think she would hear me. I didn't offend the dead.'
