You know I love this song, its an amzing piece to play on a day to recant what has gone before. There are so many slight versions of it -all folk sang of course from Scotland. Thank you for sharing it was beautiful to listen toIt’s a tune that is frequently played at funerals here but I know it is a battlefield lament.
I discovered yesterday that my friend, who was Bill’s carer, was at school with one of the buglers.
Royal Marine from Dundee to lead musical tribute at Prince Philip's funeral today
A Royal Marine from Dundee who was decorated by the Duke of Edinburgh will lead the buglers performing at Saturday’s funeral. Sergeant Bugler Jamiewww.google.co.uk
I believe Sergeant Bugler Jamie Ritchie was the lead bugler if my memory serves me right -what a wonderful take of events

Well I must ode to bed as it is a long day before my head hits the pillow again. Thank you for all the well wishes, as soon as I know I will post. I am hopeful because this is a job for me and I so want to come home -its time.
That’s right. My friend was at primary school with him. He moved on to a different secondary school and they lost touch. After seeing this on Saturday David has reconnected with him and they have agreed to meet up when Jamie is next in Scotland. It seems they were both constantly in trouble for getting into mischief in primary school. Such a lovely outcome for David to have reconnected.
I hope things work out for you tomorrow.
Thanks everyone. I did mess up the first question but rescued it. I will have to wait and see the outcome which is tomorrow morning . I can;t believe they are making me wait, but thats how it is. Nothing to do now toher than forget about it and enjoy my evening before work tomorrow.
I used to wait the wait to find out the outcome of job interviews. Fingers crossed it's good news.
Well I was called after 10am and wasinformed that i had been successful and offered the post. I have accepted, but I picked up on some issues durig the interview, so I will be going on secondment initially before deciding it is permanent. I am of course pleased, but then afterwards a sadness hit me as I realised I would be leaving some very brialliant friends and colleagues behind. Anyway all done and onwards
Excellent news! Looks like your new department will be facing some improvements...!
Hope you are enjoying a celebratory drink or two

Congratulations @Palerider. It is always sad to leave brilliant friends and colleagues behind, but I am sure you will make new friends in your new post. Great idea to go on secondment there until you see if it's the right place and job for you. I hope it is and you enjoy your new job.
Thanks everyone. Its an exciting time as its a project to meet the NHS Long Term Plan, but they are not in a position where my own employer is now -they have a lot of work to do and some professional politics to resolve on the way, hence I negotiated the secondment
