Then a piper with the (now defunct) NSW Ladies' Highland Pipe Band, we used to slow march down Martin Place from the top end. This took place after the main Anzac Day march - it was part of a special Scottish memorial event. We played 'Flowers of the Forest' a beautiful lament. The quietness of the city at that time - around mid-day - coupled with the echoing sound of the Pipe Bands from the surrounding buildings, made a deeply moving experience. One which I have not forgotten for the nearly 60 years which followed.<br />I wonder if that remembrance still takes place.Elaine coolowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558012226587511418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-13297430068389306532014-04-24T17:12:53.141+10:002014-04-24T17:12:53.141+10:00A perfect precursor to ANZAC day tomorrow Jim.
