Bandstand veterans send yobs packing
high-larious.
"A gang of youths who tried to ruin a pensioners' open-air concert were beaten back and fled when faced by a 'Dad's Army' armed with walking sticks.
More than 30 youngsters, aged between 18 and 25, yelled obscenities at the brass band and kicked footballs at the conductor while terrorising the 300-strong elderly audience, which included Second World War veterans.
But a battalion of 20 pensioners, moved by a rendition of the theme from The Great Escape, rose from their deck chairs and formed a front line of attack. Wielding walking sticks, they advanced towards the enemy."
high-larious.
