Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo goes downunder

[pierre the shy]

Got to go to the Saturday night performance of the Tattoo here in Wellington yesterday....a fantastic event.

Lots of Kiwi/Aussie/Pacific participants as well as more bagpipers than I've seen in a while 

also Swiss drum corps, Norwegian Army drill display team and bands from the RAF, RM and Welsh Guards. 

They even have a mock up of the front of Edinburgh Castle covering 1/3 of the stadium.....I assume its a mock up as I'm sure someone would have noticed if large bits of the real castle disappeared
