Everyone should experience Tattoo; Yourview: Comment OF THE DAY.

IWAS lucky enough to attend this year's Edinburgh Military Tattoo with family and friends and it was a spectacular show.

The performance we attended was the one which was filmed for the BBC and I would urge reader Terry Duncan and others, to experience the Tattoo first-hand.

They only showed edited highlights on television but I can assure Mr Duncan that seeing the various nationalities performing created a wonderful atmosphere.

On the night there was also a wonderful tribute to our boys and girls in the Forces which was very moving.

As the piper played the Last Post, our thoughts were with all the families who have lost loved ones in conflicts across the world.

It was a night we will remember for a very long time.

K. Moore, via email ... I HAD to write in after reading Terry Duncan's comments slating the Edinburgh Tattoo in Wednesday's Daily Record.

The Tattoo has improved enormously over the last few years.

We now have the pleasure of seeing bands and display teams from across the world, making it a truly international occasion.

Scotland is a multi-cultural society and I feel the Tattoo reflects this.

We should be proud of the Tattoo. It not only pays tribute to our Forces but provides a splash of colour every year in our nation's capital.
