Today 11 November is Remembrance Day in Canada.
Here are some photos of the day in Ottawa. This year the Princess Royal, H.H. Princess Anne and her husband Admiral Tim Laurence were presiding the ceremony at the National War Memorial with
H.E. the Right Honourable the Governor General David Johnstone, Commander in Chief. The crowds are said to have been the largest in living memory for an 11 November, no doubt a response to the events of 22 October in Ottawa and 21 October in Quebec.

That's a great photo of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier covered in poppies and tributes. I watched the ceremony on TV this morning as always. Especially moving this year.
