Remembrance Day

My husband and I went to the Remembrance Day service at Queen’s Park on November 11^th. Crowds of people, soldiers and veterans got together all wearing poppies. It was sunny and a little windy. Queen’s Park is a fantastic place.

There are several beautiful old buildings, statues and trees in the middle and around the square. Most of the buildings are part of University of Toronto.

The ceremony began at 10:45 with the marching band. The audience stood in silence for 2 minutes. Then some of the highlevel army officials spoke about war, peace, freedom, courage, etc. Also, they thanked all veterans and their families. Some people dedicated flower wreaths to the war dead.

After the ceremony, we visited Soldiers’ Tower and some paintings and equipment of the World Wars which are kept there.

Overall, that day is one of the most impressive, unforgettable days in my life.
