Rathcoole Protestant Boys FB Paying Homage to Rifleman John Blair McFarlane 2024

Rathcoole Protestant Boys FB paying their respects at one of their members Great Great Grandfathers graveside who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Our bass drummer Ian McFarlane laid a wreath at his graveside and it was a very emotional time for him along with the band. A lone flutist played Belfast Lough during this service. The band also played a tune named “Rifleman John Blair McFarlane” a tune that is in memory of the soldier and his Great Great Grandson played the bass drum during this service. We remember those that never came home 🌹
