There will be seven broadcasts this week from the Aldershot Tattoo. This afternoon (Regional, 2.40) and on Saturday (National, 9.45) listeners will hear a description of Changing the Guard. Today (Regional, 3.20) and on Saturday (National, 10.20) they will hear the Massed Bands. Today (National, 4.30) and on Saturday (National, 11.30) they will hear a commentary on the Grand Finale, with its inspiring theme, ' Steady and Strong ', combined with the picturesque legend of Drake's Drum, supposed to sound whenever England is in danger. The recorded voice speaking Newbolt's poem is that of John Snagge , who, with Michael Standing , will give the commentaries.
The seventh broadcast (on Saturday) will cover the exciting item, ' Co-operation ', showing three air troop carriers coming to the help of troops in action. It is hoped that S. J. de Lotbiniere will be in one of the aeroplanes to give his impressions.
