Veterans Day - Nov. 11

[tail end charlie]

I am working in rural France at the moment, at 10.45 AM the whole town was deserted everybody young and old was at the memorial in the church yard around the corner from the high street. There was no military, no bands, no marching just a very solemn service remembering the dead as if conducting a funeral. I wouldnt take pictures of such an event it would turn private grief into a tourist "faux pas" but it was poignant and impressive.

today it was fitting that the CWH Lanc flew over about 11.10 beautiful day and the sun showed off the Lanc nicely you could see the roundels from the ground , usually it does a flypast in Toronto but I guess the Niagara Peninsula was blessed this year
