sam singing his song when he had lost all hope at the top of the tower at cirith ungol
merry asking pippin "are you going to bury me?" after his battle with the WK
gandalf meeting up with the hobbits and commenting on Merry " He should have been borne in honour into the city"
eowyn saying to eomer that merry should becomae a knight of the riddermark.
pippin being 'killed' at the gates of mordor (well, the first time I read it I thought he was - I still remember laying in bed in my little bedroom as a kid reading the scene for the first time late at night - I burst into tears) - but when I saw him serving drinks and food to sam and frodo on the field of cormallen I was overjoyed!
aragorn getting down on his knee and praising Frodo and Sam on the field of cormallen
the grey havens of course, and Gandalf's immortal line.
and even the APPENDICIES! the tale of the years, and the ongoing events of the fellowship - when aragorn was laid to rest, and it was said that the "beds of Meriadoc and Pergrin were set beside the bed of the great king" gets me welling up every time I read it.
