Mini-tattoo ends festival

BANDSMEN from Ypres Surrey Pipes and Drums in Belgium helped bring the Leith Festival to a close with a mini-tattoo at La Piazza at the Shore.

The musicians were the first pipe band from mainland Europe to perform in a British tattoo.

Frederick Frayling-Kelly laid the groundwork for the first Leith Tattoo in 1997 when he assembled pipe band musicians to play the beating of the retreat.
