We headed down to the cenotaph in Cloverdale with the rain only a light drizzle. It had let up from a torrential downpour a couple of hours earlier. So it kept with the theme around here that it always rains on Remembrance Day.
It was a nice service with a parade by veterans, RCMP in color serge, and various cadet groups. The typical introductions, singing O Canada, hymns, laying of the wreaths, and bugle call preceeding two minutes of silence at eleven o'clock. Then the final wreaths were laid, singing God Save The Queen, and the parade route back to the Cloverdale legion.
There were three different groups of airplanes that did fly pasts during the ceremony.
In memory of all those who lost their lives serving our country and those who continue to fight for freedom in far off countries. We wear the poppies for you today.
I found your blog by accident and I just want to say, great job! I included your latest post on my www.claytonvoice.com (community monthly paper and blog)blog. Good to see more blogs from Cloverdale area.
