Funeral Bagpiping today at Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan.
 
This was for the interment of a local Welsh lady who’s husband participated in the D-Day Landings.
On the approach the tunes played were to acknowledge the Military Service. These tunes consisted of: “My Home”, “The Mist Covered Mountains”, “Oft in the Stilly Night”, & “Flowers of the Forest” to lead the cortege the 700yds from the main gate to the graveside.
 
After the service, I played the requested: “Amazing Grace” & to acknowledge the the lady’s Welsh roots and love of Scotland & Bagpipes, I played: “Myfanwy”, “Calon Lan”, “The Shores of Loch Katrine”, “Salute to Willie, The Royal Fendersmith”, before concluding with a Piobaireachd ‘Salute’.
 
Our Condolences to the family & other mourners. Working alongside the very professional Cari & her team of A G Adams Funeral Director. (Co-operative Funeralcare (Tynewydd Funeral Home, Gladstone Road, Barry).
