The Royal Navy will be taking centre stage in the international spectacular – the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – from Friday (5th August) to 27th August. A worldwide audience of millions (218,425 watching the live show in Edinburgh and a TV audience judged at over 100 million) for the spectacular event will see the Royal Navy in the limelight as the lead military service.

Major attractions will be a Royal Navy warship counter-piracy boarding team from HMS Montrose, field-gun race and HM Bands of the Royal Marines, along with other navies, reflecting this year’s Tattoo theme – ‘Of the Sea’.
