Bugles Music Armistice Day North Inch Park Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Bugler playing the Last Post at the 51st Highland Division War Memorial on Armistice Day in North Inch Park on visit to Perth, Perthshire. The Last Post is either a B♭ bugle call within British Infantry regiments or an E♭ cavalry trumpet call in British Cavalry and Royal Regiment of Artillery, Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Artillery, used at Commonwealth military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. The memorial was made by Alan Herriot and is of a little Dutch girl welcoming her Highland liberator with a posy of flowers. Armistice Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France at 5:45 am, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning, the " eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month " of 1918. The date is a national holiday in France, and was declared a national holiday in many Allied nations. In the United States, Veterans Day honours American veterans, both living and dead.
