Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

BBC One, Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Monday 28th August, 6.30pm

In this programme of highlights from the event, narrated by Bill Paterson, musical talent with a 'Splash of Tartan' - the theme to this year’s show - will be to the fore. Making a big splash will be the internationally acclaimed Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, who take centre stage as this year’s ‘home service’ at the Tattoo. The Queen’s Colour Squadron and the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment will celebrate 75 years of the Regiment and working with the Royal Navy.  International contingents include the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force Band; The Indian Naval Band; The  9th French Marine Infantry Brigade visit from Poitiers; and The  United States Naval Forces Europe Band, based in Naples.
