 My understanding is that the music was written before the IRA bomb, not
 after. Many conductors/players assume it is the other way around. >>

According to the sleeve notes for the Dyke 'Complete Champions' CD, George 
Lloyd, who lived close to Regents Park wanted ".. to write something as a 
modest memorial to the men who lost their lives for other people's 
entertainment. From that grew the idea of 'Royal Parks'."
