Clifton and Lightcliffe Band recently performed for the RAF Memorial Service at the Yorkshire Air Museum Elvington, near York.

New coat of arms

On Thursday night the band members received their new walking out jackets from Handley Band Uniforms of Leeds thanks to a very generous donation from the Kingston Trust. New ties will soon follow, whilst the new band badge was unveiled too — the Brighouse Coat of Arms with the band name above and below.

The band wore the jackets for the first time at Elvington for a service that was preceded with a flypast by a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight4BR

The band wore the jackets for the first time at Elvington for a service that was preceded with a flypast by a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

After the service in which the band's principal cornet player performed the 'Last Post' and 'Reveille' the band gave a 45 minute programme of music from the 40’s which was very well received.
