At the ceremony held on November 21 to inaugurate the new De Valette monument held in the newly-created De Valette Square in Valletta, the band that bears the Grand Master’s name was rightly invited to perform.
However, I feel that the other Valletta band, the King’s Own, should also have been invited to take part.
There should be no discrimination between the two bands whenever events connected with the capital city are held, especially when public funds are involved, as in this case.
