My Life As The Queen's Trumpeter - Peter Cripps

Picture

Peter Cripps told us how he started playing the trumpet as a 7 year old boy with the Salvation Army Junior band. His natural talent saw him enlisting as a boy musician with the army and being selected to play at Her Majesty's Coronation. He was the youngest player there and afterwards met the young queen at the Buckingham Palace reception. He was a bandmaster in the army for many years and also got to play with many leading artists of the time.

He demonstrated his collection of instruments and the different tones they produced. He rounded off the evening with a rendition of 'Its a Wonderful Life'.
