Hey, thanks for the upload. The scratchy sound adds a sense of nostalgia to this :D. It's Retreat actually.. Not Last Post. Retreat is to sound off that the day's activities are done and when the flag is lowered. Last Post is mainly played to remember the dead or at funerals. To tell the difference, The beginning of Retreat starts at the 5th note and progresses down the scale to the 2nd note, with each note played played twice. Last Post's beginning starts on the 1st & 2nd note
Hi Guys, Love to hear the old style of music especially concerning Bugles.
May I make a correction please. This piece of music is known as "Sunset" as popularised by the Royal Maines. It contains a piece of music especially composed for the ceremony whilst the traditional bugle call "Last Post" played over the top of the band piece. The evening hymn "The Day Thou Gavest" is a completely different tune altogether. Please dont take this as a critiscism!
This makes me so proud to be British!

This would be very moving if the upper brass and bugles were in tune. And if the musicians read what is on the manuscript.

@mouchel1995 No, this is what it supposed to be like. The bugles sound 'Retreat', while the band plays 'Sunset'.

A good effort by the HK Police.
As a child this was played at a small tattoo in Malta by the Band and Drums of 3 Para, must have been '68 or '69.
A solo bugler up on the castle wall gave the peice a sound depth I've never since.

The sunset, to a certain extent, likes the decline of Hong Kong with the withdraw of the British administration!
What a sad moment for all Hongkongers who were so lucky to be administered under the British rule before 1997
