Armed with Union jacks and an umbrella, crowds of people, including Ribble Valley MP the Rt Hon Nigel Evans, enjoyed themselves while joining in the patriotic "Proms" songs such as "Land of Hope and Glory" and "Rule Britannia" in the grounds of Clitheroe Castle.
The post-Covid concert was hailed a success by Clitheroe Town Mayor, Coun. Simon O'Rourke.

"Despite appalling weather conditions, the concert performance led by members of the Slaidburn Silver Band, was enjoyed by all who attended and raised a significant sum of money for my two chosen charities - Crossroads Care Ribble Valley and The Foundation for Ribble Valley Families. I would also like to thank all the volunteers and helpers who made the event such a success this year.”
