It’s been over 70 years, but Joseph, a World War II veteran, is still supported by the Army Benevolent Fund.

This Armed Forces Week, we’re shining a light on the charities we support, including the Army Benevolent Fund, which helped Joseph by widening his driveway so he can park his mobility scooter and stay connected to his community.

Watch his story.

The United States Army Field Band never fails to lift the crowd's spirit with their mix of jazz, orchestral and contemporary music. There really is something for everyone.

Like the German Army Band, they last performed at the Tattoo in 2022 and now they're back. We asked them why they answered the call to perform at this year's show, A Call to Gather.

28 years since we last qualified for the World Cup.

As the Tattoo, we couldn’t let the Tartan Army leave without a proper Scottish send-off.

Thank you to Edinburgh Airport for helping make it happen. Safe travels, Tartan Army.

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day, 6 June 1944. A day that changed the course of history.

The Tattoo stands as a living tribute to the bravery of every soldier, sailor and airman who answered the call. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

A call worth answering…

Richard Rankin tells us why he chose to join A Call to Gather this year as the Narrator.

We’re honoured to have such an incredibly talented Scottish actor, someone who champions Scottish culture and helps keep its identity alive through powerful storytelling.

Like Richard, will you answer the call? Book Now: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vZbSt0

Did you guess correctly? Drum roll please....

The voice behind this year's Narrator is none other than Richard Rankin, famous for his roles in Outlander and Rebus. He will tell the story in his strong Scots voice, guiding audiences through an emotional and theatrical experience of A Call To Gather.

You won't see Richard during the show, but you'll certainly hear him.
