Special thanks to all pipers, drummers, marshals, stewards and first aiders who took part in the Pipefest events around the World - this was a fantastic effort helping support others in need. Thank you.
Over the next few days we hope to post links to image and video galleries and at a later date fundraising reports. Please use Facebook, Flickr and Youtube to post images and video and send us the links. We can then make one big media page on how the day unfolded.
Pipers and Drummers can make a difference!

Bill Millin, who died on August 17 aged 88, was personal piper to Lord Lovat on D-Day and piped the invasion forces on to the shores of France; unarmed apart from the ceremonial dagger in his stocking, he played unflinchingly as men fell all around him.
