All of us rely on space every day. At the #DefenceSpace24 Conference I set out our dependencies, the opportunities and the need for us to prioritise our investment, starting with space control, which will be essential for all future operations.

Earlier this week, @RoyalAirForce Pipe Major Hughes played at the Ghillies Ball at Balmoral Castle. The Ball, first held by Queen Victoria as a thank you to the estate workers & families is a very prestigious event held as part of the Royal Court for VVIP Guests in Scotland.

The annual event held at Balmoral and hosted by Their Majesties The King and Queen and the piper play round the dining table for the Royal Family and their guests, after dinner. They then pipe Their Majesties into the ballroom to start the dancing for the Ball.
The Pipers can also be asked to dance with the guests if needed. Lucky for Pipe Major Hughes they didn’t ask the pipers on this occasion. However, the late Queen always danced with the pipers!
