Today is ANZAC day, originally the day of remembrance for the troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and others who fell at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
I play in the Central Band of the Royal British Legion Scotland and each year we provide music for the remembrance service in the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle, so I was up there this morning with my trombone. It's a nice gig to play because the acoustics in the memorial building are lovely for hymn tunes, and because the service means a lot to the people who attend. A number of them had kind words of thanks for us at the end.
On the way back down from the memorial we were just in time to see the one o'clock gun being fired and I captured it on my mobile (sideways - by the time I'd realised my error it had gone off). The quality's rotten but, my, the things you can do with modern technology, eh?
