Princess Royal unveils new military music school at former prison
0The Princess Royal visited Portsmouth naval base to officially open a new school of music.
The Alford Schools of Military Music, named after the 'British March King' Kenneth Alford, who served with distinction in both the Royal Marines and British Army, will be a training facility for the new generation of the Royal Marines Band Service and the Corps of Army Music.
The building was originally built as Military Detention Quarters in 1843 and although it has been used by the band services since 1991, over the past 18 months it has been revamped to better suit the needs of a music school.
