The band was among good company, performing alongside the likes of the Band of HM Royal Marines and Ohio University's 225-member outfit, the Marching 110.

Performances were at Potters Field Park and The Holy Sepulchre.

On Saturday, a military bands Tattoo took place at Royal Victoria Dock and the ExCel Centre under the baton of Major Phil Trudgeon of the Royal Marines.

The night concluded with a grand finale featuring all bands and a ceremonial sunset.

On Sunday the band was a part of the Palace Parade Review in Hampton Court Palace's Kings Garden.

Each band paraded in turn for a ten-minute slot to parade, followed by a three-minute static performance.

The day finished with a fast-paced percussion contest called Drum Line London, a competition which last year saw victory for the band's Corps of Drums.
