Classical Brit honour for UK forces

An album recorded by a military band in a sweltering tent in Iraq has won a Classical Brit, beating Katherine Jenkins and Andrea Bocelli to the prize.

Spirit Of The Glen: Journey was named album of the year at the glittering event at the Royal Albert Hall and the band immediately dedicated their gong to Britain's servicemen and women.

Collecting the award, Major Angus Benson-Blair of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards said: "The award is obviously about the album but I know everyone in the armed forces will see also each vote as supporting us in everything we do.

"So on behalf of every single soldier, sailor and airman I would like to say a huge and heartfelt thank you for every vote for the pipes and drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. Thank you so much."

It marks the first time that non-professional musicians have won a Classical Brit.

To Angus and his Royal Scots Dragoon Band: Hey! Mukker! Thumbs up to you and yer boys. Watched the clip and you looked in grand fettle. Ye'll no fin the brither o't in monie a lang day!!
