BRITANNIA SET FOR THE RETURN OF THE ROYAL
MARINES
A 28-strong Band of Her
Majesty's Royal Marines Scotland, who are based at the east coast port of
Rosyth, promise to deliver a flavour of their musical excellence when they
visit The Royal Yacht Britannia, Edinburgh's award-winning Leith-based 5 star
visitor attraction, this Thursday, July 31st.
The Royal Marines - who once
carried out a range of duties on board The Royal Yacht before its decommissioning
in 1997, and who were best known as Britannia's band - are set to provide an enthralling short display of their vast and varied
musical repertoire on board the main deck of The Royal Yacht at 11am.
100 Royal Marines are expected
to take the Castle Esplanade by storm this summer as they perform at the
spectacular 24-performance run of the 59th Edinburgh Tattoo (1-23
August), staged against the imposing backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
Britannia's Head of Visitor Experience
Julia Stephenson said: "Royal Marines Bands have a long and illustrious
association with the Royal Yacht, so we're once again delighted to welcome the
Marines on board Britannia."
Thursday's Tattoo Royal
Marines Britannia visit is part of a
combined commitment to common concepts and goals and the provision of mutual
support to help our respective visitor-driven businesses.
