In a soup

NO MUSIC: When the band didn't play.

It was Queen Elizabeth's first ever visit to Estonia. And the British Royal Marines' band found itself in a soup. The band, which was to give a sunset concert along with the Estonian defence forces' band on the eve of the Queen's visit, found its instruments stuck on the Lithuanian-Latvian border since the transport company failed to organise the border crossing. However, it will play at Tallinn Old Port later during the visit while the Queen participates in celebrations for the close links between the British and Estonian defence forces.
