Guys,
I think that you will find that what you saw last night was an edited recording. Pretty obvious really cos it was daylight outside when it was broadcast yesterday evening but it was dark on the TV.
However, to appease the feelings of those who think that they have been let down, the National Anthem ( and I refer to the National Anthem of the United Kingdom ) was I have been assured by my old Mother, played on the night that she was there.
Flat,
"Perhaps they thought that the rendition of "Scotland the Brave" by the massed pipe bands was all the patriotic expression that the occasion needed."
I think that the "patriotic expression " was the rendering by the massed bands of "Highland Cathedral". This is hotly tipped to replace "Flower of Scotland " as the Scottish Anthem.
We should also remember that it is an International Military Tattoo and not exclusive to the UK alone.
Regards to all,
E5.
