The pipes played by Bill Millin, Lord Lovat’s legendary D-Day piper, to pipe his comrades onto Sword
Beach at the D-Day landings were carried from Fort William to Portsmouth, accompanied by a
flotilla of Small Ships to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Normandy Landings. Calling
at various ports along the way, Carrickfergus was the nominated port for Northern Ireland.
The Millen Pipes arrived in Belfast from Cairnryan on Friday 9th May 2014 and transported by TSDY
ILMATAR II, along with many of the visiting Veterans, to Carrickfergus Harbour.
