Royal Green Jackets Association: Memorial Parade 23rd July 2023.

This Parade commemorates the terrorist bombing that took place on 20th July 1982.
The regimental band of the 1st battalion Royal Green Jackets were performing a lunch time concert at the Regent Park bandstand.
The audience were enjoying a medley of songs from the musical Oliver, when at 12.55pm a bomb exploded under the bandstand.
Six members of the band were killed instantly and another member passed away two weeks later from his injuries.
Following this Parade a concert was performed by The Waterloo Band and Bugles of The Rifles. During the concert the band played the selection from Oliver that was played on the day of the attack. The Musical Director stopped the piece and a time of reflection was held before the band carried on and finished the piece.
