Dining In Music

[Peter Carter]

If anyone could let me know the name of the music played on a RAF Dining In night as we go into dinner, I would be most appreciative.

(Da dah de dah dah-dah etc!)

My Google attempts have drawn a blank!

[Union Jack]

It's the old tune that was used to play naval officers in to dinner daily, namely "The Roast Beef of Old England", originally written by Henry Fielding in the early 18th century.

Jack

PS And I have heard it played by the cousins too ....
