Bill Millins

Hello All,
Heres to you Bob, putting it right again. I have just been reading about Bill Millin the Pegasus Bridge piper, can anyone tell me if he is still with us, that is a truly amazing story. The story relates up to early 2001/2 when Bill reclaimed his pipes from the Edinburgh Museum but there is nothing about the man after that time, I would be pleased to know.
Regards Ron

I am pleased to report that Bill is still with us, although in declining health, and living in a retirement home in Devon. He went back to Normandy in 2004 for the 60th anniversary.

We were immensely privileged to have him stay at our home in Witney a few years ago when the youth orchestra from Maasbracht, Holland came over to play a series of concerts for the commandos, including at Blenheim Palace.

I shall always remember being woken up by an early morning blast of the pipes (!) and the look of awe on the children's faces as he piped them into the concert hall. A real treat.

Hello all,
