On June 30, the Kintyre Schools Pipe Band are to lead a procession down the Royal Mile towards Holyrood for the opening of the third session of the Scottish Parliament. There, they will perform in front of the Queen and the new First Minister at a free open air concert for over 5000 people. Great news and many congratulations to Ian, John & co and of course to all the band members.

Quick update - event will be televised live this Saturday 30 June on BBC1 at 10.25.

it's live on itv as well at the same time, apparently theres only 5,000 allowed into the parly grounds for the opening ceremony so its a case of seeing the parade and missing them at the opening or getting into the grounds quick and missing the parade.
