THE PIPES ON D-DAY
There was some discussion about the piping scenes in "The Longest Day" and the piper who played "Black Bear" throughout the movie. It appears that the account in the movie is nearly completely factual.
Check out this article: "The Pipes on D-Day" from Piper and Drummer Magazine.
"We were the first out of our troop to reach the shore. The ramps on the boat went down and as we stepped off Lovat ordered me to play 'Highland Laddie.'"
