What a magnificent tribute.

NSW Police bandsmen, kids - an impromptu gathering on the footpath and onto the road outside the late Richard Gill AO's house.

How wonderful that in Richard's last hours this tribute to him and to the power of music played out there at his home.

Here's the original.

I defy anyone of my vintage with military or police service to watch the rendition of Dambusters here without a tear in their eye.

I knew Richard.

I know that he'd approve of the effect of this music.

Rest in Peace old mate.
