European Pipe Band Championships 2012 - Belfast

This event was held today in the grounds of the Stormont Estate in Belfast today for the third year in succession. A wonderful selection of bands from all parts of Ireland, Scotland and no doubt further afield. Here are a few images which give a flavour of the day. The rain was never too far away.
