#Remember
At 0822 on 22 Sep 1989 an IRA bomb exploded at the Royal Marines School of Music in Deal, Kent.
It killed 11 Royal Marines Musicians.
We will never forget the horrific events of that day, those lost, or those still bearing physical and mental scars.
We will remember them.
Today we remember the darkest of days in the Royal Marines Band Service.
At 0822 on 22 Sep 1989 an IRA bomb was detonated within Deal Barracks.
A cowardly act that killed eleven of our musicians.
We will never forget them.
This morning we held a service at the Royal Marines School of Music in memory of the 11 Royal Marines Musicians killed on 22 Sep 1989 by an IRA bomb at the Royal Marines School of Music in Deal, Kent.
