Coronavirus bugler vows to play until deaths end

An Army veteran who has played the Last Post every night since lockdown began has vowed not to stop until there are no more coronavirus deaths in England.

Paul Goose, from South Yorkshire, began his nightly routine on 29 March and has so far kept it going for 130 days.

Each performance is live-streamed and dedicated to NHS staff, key workers and victims of the pandemic.

He said he hoped he had brought comfort to victims' families and has pledged to keep playing "as long as it takes".

The 52-year-old, who spent 10 years in the Light Infantry, said the daily renditions of the Last Post - a bugle call most commonly associated with military funerals - began following the death of his former regimental sergeant major.
