Armed Forces Day and Stitching Update

Today I drummed at our local Armed Forces day in Alexander Park. The weather was a bit all over the place. Sun out, then cloudy and windy then sun out again, in a repeating pattern. It did spit a little but luckily the rain held off. I had to get there early as the organisers wanted some drums to make a Drum Altar.

It was in honour of the military musicians that have died in combat.

In attendance were some Gurkhas who have fought bravely for Britain for many years now as part of the British Army.

The gentleman in the wheelchair is Bob, and drums with Section 5 :)

Royal Airforce merchandise. I love the ducks!

Poppy Day merchandise.

Put a silly hat on for today, life can't be serious all the time :)

A few of Section 5 chilling before the drumming.
