Many thanks to you and Mark the piper. Mark did a great job. Our Mum would have loved it. Her family, friends and relatives listened with lumps in their throats and tears in their eyes. It was an uplifting addition to a very sad day.
Thank you for making it possible.
The bagpipes were a total surprise for my husband and certainly created the correct ambience.
