The daily tribute

This daily tribute - performed by a team of local buglers - serves to honour the memory of the soldiers of the British Empire, who fought and died in the immortal Ypres Salient during the First World War. It is the aim of the Last Post Association to maintain this ceremony in perpetuity.

Book of honour

I would like to thank the LPA, on behalf of Stonehouse Pipe Band, for the opportunity to play at the 26th June 2010 ceremony. It was a great honour that touched us all deeply. Myself, wife & both my daughters (13 & 12 years) will never forget the emotions we felt as we played. We will not forget them.
