It is a very funny thing. The Last Post is technically not that difficult but you hear a lot of guys make a meal of it. I guess it is all in the head and I'm not that deep of a thinker.
The RSL representative told me that they are building a bugle like object with a pre-recording in it. You hold it up to your lips and the sound comes out the bell as they have had so many buglers crack under pressure. He was not joking.
Personally it was not that hard to keep it together. My old mate was a larrikin who lived into his 90's. It ended up a celebration of a colourful life rather than a morbid affair. He had a big heart, a sense of humour and impish smile. If it had of been someone who passed before their time, I might have found it a bit more traumatic.
