The Diamond (60 years) anniversary featured over 1000 performers. The Army, combined with a host of international talent, all choreographed with music, song, dance and drama, produced by Major General Euan Loudon.

The projection area is 90 metres wide and stretches the full width of the castle walls. Four PIGI 6K projectors fitted with double rotating scrollers make the images, three covering the Castle wall area, and the fourth focussed on providing ‘drop-ins’ in the area around the Castle gates, through which performers make their entrances.

The biggest projection pieces this year are for two sections of the show by the Massed Bands - the military bands of the Grenadier and Coldstream Guards with the British Army's Guards bands joined by all the international bands, performing  "You Raise Me Up" and "Here's To The Heroes".

This celebrates the bravery of all those engaged in current conflicts - specifically Afghanistan and Iraq - and the support of their friends and families.

The projection was programmed and is being operated on an OnlyCue system by Karen Monid.
