[@mjc1530]

Hats off to these brilliant musicians - another great show. I saw my first live performance of the MFM in 2022 and it has now become a regular fixture in the calendar. My daughter and I travel from Rome each year - already have a note of next year’s festival in the diary! I also watched the live stream on Saturday to confirm a few thoughts I had after seeing the live performance at the RAH. I would just like to say that I was rather disappointed there was very little made of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings - a mention from Katy Derham and a few words from a Winston Churchill speech, just a passing comment on the 360th anniversary of the RMs, ……. and where was Sarie Marais?!!! Congratulations to you all once again on a faultless performance and look forward to seeing you all again in July for Beating the Retreat.
