Mother and son in Remembrance Day parade in Banchory

A mother-and-son combination appeared for the first time in the pipe bands leading the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Banchory.

Mother-and-son piping duo Jip and Jack Andrew

Twelve-year-old Jack Andrew, pupil at Banchory Academy, and his mother, Dutch-born Jip, played their pipes in the second row of the combined pipe bands of Banchory and Grampian District.

The occasion proved a matter for some family celebration, for Jock and Jip only took up the pipes a year ago.

The combined bands, led by Pipe-Major Graham McKay of Grampian District Pipe Band, played well together, and were complemented on their turn-out.

Young Jack admitted to being very proud in being in the bands leading the parade.

For Jip, the pipes represent an additional instrument, for she already plays the cello.
