If you are one of those people who will be sat in front of their television sets watching the big match (the Royal Wedding not Chelsea versus Manchester United) then keep an eye out for the shiny new trombones being used by the players of The Band of the Irish Guards.

Musical accompaniment

The players took delivery of them from Rath Trombones in Honley near Huddersfield in time for the kick-off in Windsor to ensure they look as well as sound good when the world will be listening out for their musical accompaniment to the big dayâ€¦
