The Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment were privileged to provide musical support to several Buckingham Palace Garden Parties this May. 🎶

One was a particularly special moment for FS Taylor, whose father, Bruce, was invited in recognition of a lifetime of outstanding service to the Cornwall community.

From over 50 years with the Cornwall FA to his unwavering support for music, the arts and local charities, his impact is truly inspiring. Well done Bruce! 👏

Land’s End to John o’ Groats — complete. 🎉

True to the saying that no plan survives first contact, the team had to quickly adapt to some logistical challenges earlier on-review, reset and press on.

 Averaging 70+ miles a day, climbing over 13,000m, the weather was fabulous and brutal in equal measure. ☀️❄️

Focused, determined and supported by an incredible crew, they started and finished as a team.

Bravo all! 👏🚴
