Escort to The Crown - The Rehearsal

In preparation for the 25th Anniversary of the Opening of The Scottish Parliament, there was a rehearsal parade down The Royal Mile.

The Crown of Scotland was fake but everything else was the real deal except due to the early start (7am) no music.

From Rolls Royce 1 crossing the drawbridge at Edinburgh Castle to the crown being carried through the front entrance of The Scottish Parliament building by The Duke of Hamilton, fully 30 minutes elapsed!

We have the following participants:

2 SCOTS Pipes, Drums & Bugles
The Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland
The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
Rolls Royce 1 containing The Duke of Hamilton and the fake Crown!
The Scots Guards
The new Edinburgh GSM W01 David Hunter
