The band marked its 185th year two years ago, but of course Covid got in the way of hosting any public celebration in 2020.
To mark the band’s achievements and longevity, the Sentinel recently published an 8-page supplement. Some readers were unable to get a copy and the band also has a massive appeal to people who now live around the globe, so we thought we’d upload the pictures to our website.
We hope you enjoy them.
