D-Day countdown for Island pipers

The Island is participating in a 'pipers countdown' to the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Members of Ellan Vannin Pipes and Drums will take part in the countdown along with the UK and Channel Islands. 

It's organised by the son and grandson of Piper Bill Millin, who played as he led the 1st Commando Brigade ashore on the beach of Normandy as part of the D-Day landings. 

Local pipers will play at different locations around the Island every day from May 28 to June 6 - you can find more information here.
