Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa
I attended the ceremony at the National War Memorial in downtown Ottawa with a group of friends. There was a very large crowd that attended the ceremony and the weather was suitably somber. There was supposed to be a fly past by two vintage aircraft, but the low ceiling prevented their participation. The Royal Canadian Air Force did a fly past with some CF-18 fighters, but I didn't see them, but you certainly could hear them! A few of the members of this forum participated in the parade after the ceremony driving some vets past the saluting base.
It was a nice to just be part of the crowd this year. Next year, the family will take in a ceremony in a small town or village, just for a change in scenery.
