Flashmob - Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness

On Saturday 26th October shoppers at the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness got an "unforgettable" surprise. Watch what happened when we launched the 2013 Scottish Poppy Appeal there.

[@robertshand1944]

As an old soldier that was the most magnificent salute I have ever seen and heard in honour of our military. Thank you all who worked on this programme you are to be appreciated for the memories you have awakened in us all.

[@tonyjennings1025]

A beautiful city. From New Zealand and Australia a wonderful tribute to your own and all those who fought and died and returned to free us from the shackles of war.

[@thenoworriesnomad]

Im English and proud but this is fantastic and now iv got a tear in my eye...Great anthem and well done to all and Poppy Scotland

[@japanesehighlander]

The pipes always stir my heart. Good on ya lads and lassies, and remember those who are not with their families at Christmas.

[@matthewrandom4523]

That's what I call national culture! Congretulations, Scotland! Hats off from Germany! We are ONE Europe! Different nations, different languages, different histories - but ONE heart!

God Bless ye Lad, from across in The Old Country !

[@GotSnowedIn]

Loved it. And was very pleased to see some women Pipers as well. Would love to see more ladies picking up the pipes and carrying on the wonderful heritage.

[@621jkf]

[@alexandrareder3568]

Breath taking! With love and support. From the USA. :D

[@eapmorales]

[@rodmoraes61]

Wonderful pipes... Rgds from Brazil.

[@judithpullman2935]

WAY TO GO SCOTLAND!

[@vtechead1]

If the sound of the pipes and drums doesn’t raise goosebumps on your body, then you are either dead or not Scottish. Braw stuff - best country in the world. For a small country we have given the world so much - television, the telephone, ships, locomotives, engineering, steam engines,kaleidoscpoes, refrigerators, penecillin, bicycles, toasters, golf, tyres, etc etc etc

[@leonouten475]

I love the sound bagpipes the group of people who play them are amazing n must be hard to play .

[@Lossieloon306]

Absolutely brilliant, I wish things like that would happen here in Perth.

[@Mbaving]

The acoustics were wonderful...

[@jamesstephen7350]

Bagpipes have always made me cry....I'm so proud of my heritage, and where my family came from...There is nothing I'd rather be, than Canadian...But....I'm still a Baird!!

[@foneactivemedia8975]

Nice and simple tune musical to ears!

[@JJfromMW]

Fantastic!

[@eejwelshtaff]

That was AWESOME.

[@pauldavis7560]

Liked the fact that for the most part everybody shut up when the pipers started playing Respect

[@s21542148]

Brilliant from England

[@Jayke1981]

What an unusual Flashmob! Impressive!

[@missloublou4628]

That's what I thought? I thought a flash mob was dancing!?

[@Jayke1981]

@@missloublou4628 traditionally, yes, but that's what made this unusual!

[@lorenzohuamanchay7390]

¡Qué simpática ejecución! Aplausossss ....

[@dougalmcdougal8682]

Brings a lump to my throat … Very well played , and not at all easy when you can’t see your PM , PS , DM or DS to get the timings 👍

[@fionaaskew267]

That is amazing. WOW.

[@rosaleal2002]

Magnifique!

[@CelticFish0103]

thats amazing. that had to have been really hard to keep up with each other with the echo in the building. unless there were directors keeping up with each other where the pipers and drummers could all see.

[@dreammakers100]

truly inspiring....

[@northseabrent]

Fucking awesome. Tingles down the spine.

[@fardaypu]

[@Jaguar79gt]

[@MrTomplant]

Terrific and I hope it boosted takings. Pity about all the people with phones an even IPads blocking the view from everybody else. Put the phones away and enjoy the moment folks, leave the recording to professionals.

[@egavasnai]

I love the music, anyone know what the main piece of music is called? The pipes and drums are the best sound in the world in my opinion!

[@621jkf]

[@ianpaterson7225]

[@chrisandtracey999]

[@lorimack284]

Still cry to this day at this video. then the wee man comes out with the pipes and the crying gets worse. Thinks like this make me wish I'd kept up playing the pipes!

[@mizuho0907]

こういうドッキリ企画は世界中どこでもあるんだなｗ

[@djmaur]

Would like to visit Scotland someday, part of my ancestry. Problem though... my mothers maiden name is Dalrymple, and my fathers side is Dutch. Would I still be welcome?

[@s1rmunchalot]

***** Och aye laddie, even the sassanach!!

[@hootsmon4723]

Christ the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I hear the pipes start playing. Flower of Scotland and I,m not even Scottish.........actually I probably am I've been here since i was 5 .

Playing in a big mall must sound great but also echo

+graeme morton You my friend, are one of the fools for judging others who have their own opinions and chose to not like this. I however did like this, but please appreciate it's not 'everyone else's thing', and that's why the dislike button exists.

It's called the pipes and drums. Bagpipes and drums.

[@Nabeel9999]

The citizenry staring down upon their once proud martial heritage. A penny for casualties of our war, and let your sins be washed away. I long for the days when the drums of war MEANT something...

[@johnbenton4488]

And yet there were people who'd rather stuff their faces and continue with their jabbering while these pipers and drummers did something to brighten the day and commemorate.
