There is a second British Open Championship programme treat for all brass band fans this weekend.

It's been made possible thanks to Besson Brass and Town Hall and Symphony Hall — so why not put your feet up and reach for a glass of something smooth and refreshing as we look back at a memorable contest day and the enjoy the battle to become the 167th British Open Champion.
