      @williambarr2698 Před rokem

      What do you mean to say there are those who don't love the pipes? The sound of the pipes becon us all to stop and listen. Those pipes are send a message, to opposing Armies that they are about to feel the wrath of the UK and Commonwealth of Nations flee before the field is crossed. They tell us to stop and pay respect to those they are harolding. Ahh the pipes the pipes are calling

    "Pipes"can play his pipes for me any day. I love hearing them, but outdoors only please. I was in a Legion hall remembering family members from WW1, WW2 with 6 pipers playing indoors. I couldn't hear a thing for 5 minutes after.
    I'm looking forward to seeing the pipe bands later on Monday.
    Thank You Queen Elizabeth, and heirs.
