We carried my best mates baby brother off of a plane back from Afghan, I was asked to play this at his funeral. Had to struggle through it for him, bloody hard trying to play trumpet whilst you're crying, RIP buddy - “Whenever the maroon beret is seen on the battlefield, it at once inspires confidence, for its wearers are known to be good men and true" - Field Marshall Lord Montgomery

I am a yorkshire girl, and I was lucky enough to have a job through all of the strikes, I can only guess how my less fortunate friends felt when I brought food to their door....they were such proud people and still are, i know it hurt them to be humble ...it hurt me too xxx

Sir, playing that under those circumstances must have been close to impossible. I can't watch the bloody clip without tearing up. Every credit to you.

Hate to nitpick, but it's so obvious that none of them is really playing that it's distracting.. OKOK, sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry etc

Cobblers, this film sums up the thatcher years. The only thing the miners had left was to blow their own trumpets.

A one-eyed, very biased film memorable only for this brilliant piece of music- fantastically played by the Grimethorpe CB.
