I note one of the pipers is wearing a QOH cap badge.
A brief diversion, if I may?
As you know OCR, I know little of pipe band protocols. On occasion, I have seen a military cap badge being worn by a member of a civilian pipe band and have often wondered if the gentleman(I have not seen a lady member of a pipe band doing so) is either still serving in the Army and is perhaps "helping out", or maybe as a civilian it is accepted practice, if one chooses, to wear their( where they learnt their musical trade and are now retired) Regimental cap badge whilst playing in a civilian pipe band? As you also know and speaking generally, the British can be rather more "stiff-necked" than some nations, over civilians wearing military insignia. Any thoughts?
