The City of Sheffield Pipe Band were present at both days of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Lofthouse Colliery Disaster, which took place on 21 March 1973 and resulted in the death of seven men.

 

This photo was taken on the Sunday. The commemoration was over and the band was on its way home, but they paused outside the church to play "Happy Birthday", presumably to a band member, and were (as you can see) in quite a jolly mood.
