He is also expected to leave ahead of the long-awaited debuts of the Tattoo in both North America and China in the near future.

An official a statement confirming his departure said Brigadier Allfrey, who has previously overseen international tours of the Tattoo to Australia and New Zealand, judges it a good moment to step back and retire.

It said the board of trustees planned to make two distinct appointments of chief executive and creative director to replace Brigadier Allfrey as part of a strategy, set in 2016, of doubling the Tattoo Company’s turnover to £25 million by 2025.

Brigadier Allfrey has overseen the opening of a new £16 million arena for the event, the transformation of the Tattoo with the use of new technology to beam spectacular animated images onto the facade of Edinburgh Castle during performances and the growth of the event's economic impact to more than £77 million.

Brigadier Allfrey's departure has emerged weeks after he blamed economic uncertainty and negative publicity about the city’s tourist industry for a slowdown in ticket sales.

On joining the Tattoo, David immediately set out to take the show to another level and transform the organization. Now, after ten outstanding years, he has decided that he will retire as chief executive and producer.

He secured a waiting list of countries wishing to perform in Edinburgh and internationally and has introduced new technologies in sound, lighting, and event staging to make the show the awe-inspiring spectacle it is today.

Brigadier Allfrey was not available for an interview on his departure from the event. But in the official statement from the Tattoo, he said, I am hugely proud to have held this position for the last nine years and witness the Tattoo flourish at home and abroad.
