Police musicians got into the swing of things in February 1982 when they paraded in new uniforms fore the first time. The special concert by the band of the Royal Ulster Constabulary marked the start of the organisation's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The new concert uniform was modelled on the RUC officers' mess dress. It had a red body and sleeves with black shawl collar, black rifle cuffs and black epaulettes. The finishing touches included white shirts, bow ties, green cumberbunds and black braided trousers. Women members wore white blouses and long black shirts. The programme for the concert at the Garnerville complex in Belfast had been selected by Superintendent Andrew Forbes, director of music of the band. Pictured above, the RUC band wearing new concert uniforms at the special concert held at RUC Garnerville in February 1982.
