St. Patricks Day Parade - Crawley

St Patricks day parade in Crawley ... 

We met up at the station car-park for tuning then into the main shopping center for a short march up an down for the public.  then we started outside McDonnald's around past the station, down to the college then again down the road by the library and down to HSBC , before turning up the high street.

there after a short pause we performed in front of the band stand ...  a long old walk and lots of playing  .. by the end I was really struggling, and needed to cork the drones.

Remembrance day parade - Silvertown

My first parade with the pipeband ... Remembrance day up at Silvertown in East London ...  a long way to go.

Up there we started at the local branch of the  British Legion, marched all the way up the road to the end of the runway, over the railway lines and back down to the church (which is now a music hall)
The memorial is in the grounds , and the service around it.
Afterwards there was tea and cakes in the church followed by a large buffet lunch back at the legion.
