The skirl of the pipes arrived in Woodbridge today. No electronic amplification was required to fill the Thoroughfare with the stirring sounds of Scots "classics" including Scotland the Brave and The Skye Boat Song.

Three pipers from Ipswich Piping Society were playing their part in the events taking place around the country, on the television and radio, in schools and workplaces in support of Red Nose Day. And within a minute of piping up,they were raking in donations from the passing shoppers.
Total collected: £191.62 - well done Ipswich Piping Society, and the shoppers of Woodbridge!
