London's bagpipes 'girlband' announce split

The Dagenham Girl Pipers have been playing for almost a century but have decided to call it a day

One of London’s oldest and much-loved female bagpipes bands is winding up after almost 100 years.

The Dagenham Girl Pipers have performed all over the world - including for the late Queen and Elvis.

They will be performing one final time at this year's Remembrance Sunday commemorations in Dagenham, east London.
