Those of you who attended the Re-dedication Service for the Teacher Memorial Window back in April 2009, will surely remember the haunting notes of the Last Post, played by Mark O'Keeffe, Principal Trumpet with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. I said then that I hoped that we would hear him play again in the Church. Hurrah! and he's bringing some ...
