watching the Edinborough Tattoo earlier the best yet i thought ,was pleasantly surprised to see the Union flag flying higher than the rest , love the pipes and drums , the best thing ( apart from our own fair Marian
that is ) to come out of Scotland .

Have always loved the The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo it is something of a spectaculat Show,the only qualm I have these days is that it is filled with too many other Nation things not like it was many Years ago!

always enjoy watching the Edinburgh tattoo, also the royal tattoo from Wembley, although I see that the royal signals motorcycle team will no longer be preforming, pity. love the royal navy gun carriage race...... Just spent last Saturday at our local highland games gathering, been going now for 34 yrs.20 bands, male and female heavyweight events, children's games. weather was great, lots of good friendships made and renewed, good beer and food. what more can you ask for.
regards, stan

#1, Why thank you kind Sir.xx

With all those you know who marching it does make for a great spectacle

what about MN,Edinburgh Tattoo to simulate aircraft carrier in salute to Royal Navy,,merch forgotten as usual

It's the Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo, why would they have mention of the Merchant Navy? I myself have sailed under three Ensigns, firstly the Red,
then the Blue and back to the Red, until I came ashore and very quickly joined the Royal Naval Reserve, sailing under the White Ensign, a feat I am proud of.

[joseph connor]

Problem with that is , we may just catch them , then our long standing street cred would go down the proverbial , lol .

[Bill Cameron]

aye bill Tattoo is very much a 'global gathering' - showcasing the talents of musicians and performers from every corner of the globe.MILITARY.MA ASS.thought MN was fourth service,,,and why god would you be proud to serve under white ensign....im red ensign,, through and through,,,,even bit blue,,, rfa,,,merchantmen on deck

Why should I not be proud of my service under the White Ensign?? I was equally proud of my service under the other two, I have a veterans Badge for both services have to say my Merchant navy Veterans Badge is much prettier. do you have a veterans badge? I think not!!

[Bill Cameron]

got dan dare badge,,,white ensign, was it sea cadets,,,,no..im merchantman...the only ensign i love,is red duster,,we still strive to get more recognition,,,and some good guys on here,,do their best,,,i thank them;;;i dont want badge,,tho i served on RFA oilers,,,and ammo ships,,,i have memories...better than a badge
