The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo had celebrated its 69th anniversary this year

France National Bastille Day is marked each year in France and across the world by French communities as the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, a turning point in the French Revolution.

Musique de l‘Artillerie is The Artillery Band of the French Army, based in Gerland in the heart of Lyon. The current Band was formed in 2016 but military music has been played in the Rhone-Alpins region since the 18th century. 

The City of Lyon is the second-largest urban area in France and is known for its food, its momentous and architectural landmarks and, like Edinburgh, has a registered World Heritage site UNESCO.

Major Laurent Arandel, Director of Music: Musique de l’Artillerie had performed for the first time in Edinburgh in their characteristic blue uniforms, delivered a precision march and musical display - with one or two surprises.

The band of fifty military musicians had performed worldwide, played a rich repertoire of concerts, parades and orchestral fanfares in Estonia, Poland, and Germany. 

The musicians had hugely adapt abled and alongside the full military band, where they had been fielded a clarinet quartet, saxophone quartet, brass quintet, and a Dixieland ensemble - all of these supported the Artillery, The French Army, the French Armed Forces and the communities these represent.

With a huge military parade staged on the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde on the morning of 14 July each year in Paris since 1880 - almost without exception - it is fitting that Scotland’s ‘Auld Alliance’ is represented in Edinburgh over the summer.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo had celebrated the Kaleidoscope - the Scottish optical instrument first patented by Sir David Brewster in 1817.  The show had explored the glorious symmetries of the Armed Forces, with the British Army to the fore, and our Allies with all the colour and heritage that is involved. 

Musique de l’Artillerie had joined more than 1,200 performers at the Tattoo’s military and cultural extravaganza, take place in the heart of Scotland’s capital between 2-24 August this year.

David Allfrey said, We have astonishing genetic, historic, military and cultural connections with France and even shared a common language at various points in our history. 

Today, our Defence Forces work closely together in a number of scenarios across the world and we are thrilled this relationship and our long-held alliances can be showcased and celebrated at the Tattoo.
