Only the best bands in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK have been invited to take part in the ceremony, which is led by one of the world's top pipers Major Gavin Stoddard.

Maj Stoddard has been responsible for arranging the music for a number of high-profile events, including the Queen Mother's funeral.

Pipe Major Colin Opie, a member of the band for 10 years, said the musicians were honoured to be asked to take part: "The organisers originally asked us to promote the tattoo on our website, which is very active, and then when we asked they invited us to join in," said Mr Opie, an electronic engineer from Torquay, whose mother is Scottish.

"I believe we are the only South West band taking part and those from other bands are joining us."
