Sea of red and white for Sunnybrook veterans
by
•The promised sea of red and white flags greeted veterans and their relatives at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre as Remembrance Day ceremonies took place in the residence of the largest single group of vets in the land. Wartime leader Winston Churchill overlooks this vista of flags, one of many near the George Hees Wing of the hospital. Sunnybrook is home to some 500 men and women who have fought in World War II, the Korean war and more recent actions against terrorism in Afghanistan. Downtown, services were held at the Old City Hall Cenotaph. Hundreds participated in a ceremony that saw a march by colour parties and music from 7th Toronto Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery band. After the clock tower’s bells tolled at the 11th hour, bugler Cpl. Steve Abra of 7th Toronto Regiment performed The Last Post. Remembrance Day, which began in Britain in 1919, honours members of armed forces who have died in the line of duty while serving Commonwealth countries. Photo: The South Bayview Bulldog
