The grand opening of the Bandstand in Queens Gardens, Hull was held on 11th December 2011.
After the Lord Mayor cut the ribbon, the Police Band played a medley of tunes finishing with the Mayors favourite tune -”Thunderbirds”.
The Point Engineering designers, engineers, tradesmen and apprentices involved in the project also attended and were presented with pin badges commemorating the 150th celebratory year of the Humberside Police Concert Band.
Lord Mayor of Hull Councillor Colin Inglis said ”The new bandstand will be a long-term asset for the city and will enhance the musical opportunities we offer.”
“It is a considerable achievement in the current climate that we have been able to provide such a top class facility without having to draw on the Council’s capital and I would like to thank everyone involved with the project.”
