The music of Irish band Westlife will feature in the programme for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The event will take place each night in the shadow of the city's castle from1 to 23 August.

More than 1,000 performers from all over the world, including South Korea, Oman and Switzerland, will take part in this year's event.

The Massed Pipes & Drums, which includes performers from Australia, New Zealand and Oman, will perform a combined musical programme featuring Westlife's 'Queen of My Heart', and the soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1992 Christopher Columbus biopic, 'Conquest of Paradise', by Greek composer Vangelis.

The event attracts 9,000 spectators to the castle esplanade, at the top of the Royal Mile in the Scottish capital, each evening.
