Want to work for the Queen?

There's no shortage of music played when it comes to serving the queen.

The position of queen's piper is one of the highest accolades available to a piper serving in the armed forces. The piper is a member of the royal household whose principal duty is to play every weekday at 9 a.m. for about 15 minutes under the queen's window when she is in residence at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the palace of Holyroodhouse or Balmoral Castle.

The current queen's piper, Pipe Major Derek Potter, is also responsible for the co-ordination of the twelve army pipers who play around the table after state banquets.
