Thanking the Last Post Buglers at the Menin Gate

The Last Post at the Gate has been played at 8pm under the arches by Ypres firemen (with only an interval during WW2) since the unveiling on 24 July 1927. It is played every day, whatever the weather. In the 1970s just two firemen in plain clothes played, sometimes with no audience present. Following the growth of battlefield tourism the buglers now wear smart uniforms and there are often four or more. All are volunteers and it is both appropriate and seeming to thank them after the event, although clapping is not appropriate. Date: 2016
