Bagpipes are a key part of Remembrance Day ceremonies, how did that happen? For almost a thousand years these powerful sounds have celebrated joy, mourned the lost and spirited the fearful. Whether civilian or military, pipe bands continue a historic role honouring and remembering those that gave the ultimate sacrifice. One particular story of bravery, James Richardson is highlighted. The Saanich Peninsula Pipe Band is joined by colleagues from other bands to support the Remembrance Day events in Sidney BC, in 2023.
