Edinburgh Military Tattoo on tour
What is it with bagpipes? Love them or hate them, the sound of the pipes inspires something very special.
Yet again the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo plays to big crowds in Sydney this week.
Behind the spectacle is a core group of musicians who are also serving soldiers, some of them in war zones.
We meet representatives of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards and the Band of the Coldstream Guards.
