HAD A PIPER FOR LATE UNCLES 80TH,,

THINK HE FELL TO ONE SIDE, PLAYED FLOWER OF SCOTLAND AND AMAZING GRACE WALKING UP THE DRIVE, NOT A DRY EYE IN THE GARDEN.
ME AND MY SIS'



HE WAS A SPITFIRE PIOLET AS I SAID BEFORE, BUT TWO YEARS BEFORE HE DIED HE HAPPENED TO BE ON TELE TEXT AND SAW HIS OLD SQUADRON HAD A REUNION EVERY YEAR UP IN NEWCASTLE,,,SO HE GOT IN TOUCH AND 'BOB'CALLED HIM, SAID HE COULD REMEMBER HIM SAVING HIS TAIL!!!
HE WENT TO THE REUNION, HIS ONE AND ONLY. THEY HAD MANY YEARS TO CATCH UP ON. BOB CAME DOWN FROM SCOTLAND TO JOIN HIM ON HIS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS, AND SADLY CAME DOWN FOR THE FUNERAL WITH HIS WIFE, CANNOT BELIEVE ALL THE YEARS GONE BY , THEY LOST TOUCH AND ALL BECAUSE OF THE TELLY HE CAUGHT HIS SQUADRON MENTIONED ON THE SCREEN, THE REST WAS HISTORY...

OH WHAT LOVELY MEMORIES LIZZI. 'FLOWER OF SCOTLAND' GET ME EVERYTIME WHEN THEY PLAY IT BEFORE THE RUGBY MATCHES.

AND IM NOT EVEN SCOTTISH.

OOOOO FLOWER OF SCOTLAND PLAYED ON THE PIPES....BLINKING HECK I'M TEARING UP JUST THINKING ABOUT IT..
I LOVE THE PIPES AND SPESH A LONE PIPER.
AT DAD'S FUNERAL [MANY YEARS AGO] WE HAD A PIPER PLAY 'DANNY BOY'....

I used to go to a lot of Army dos and they often had the Piper, always brought a tear to my eye hearing him

Great pictures,and to get to the grand old age of 80yrs fantastic.
