Robert Allan Spencer died at 101 this year. I met him once. I won't soon forget him.

Some went to the Front and came home. Some went to the Front and never came home. Some stayed home and waited. Not one part of my family was un-touched #RemembranceDay2022 #familyhistory #genealogy

The moon as it looked on Nov. 11, 1918. I wonder how many soldiers in the trenches looked up to see the moon that day, knowing they were finally returning home.

Anthem, WW1 Bi-Plane Fly By, Speeches, Wreath Laying . . .

Once the Parade fully entered Ken Whillans Square,

Parade watchers advanced & gathered within & around

Ken Whillans Square in Downtown Brampton.

The Square was full of people,

but not packed,

So social distancing was as reasonable as one could expect nowadays.

The WW1 Bi-Plane Fly By was a nice touch.

Wreaths were laid.
