..Colour Consecration Ceremony
What a fine day for a parade! Last week the ceremony was held at Wolsely Barracks. The Honour Guard (of which I was a part) was made up of about 170 sworn members, as well on parade were the Colour Guard and Pipes and Drums. It was about a three year process to have the "colours" designed, then the various stages of approval before the approval of the Queen then being made and delivered. Apparently we are one of the few Forces in Canada with it's own consecrated colours.
The Chief looks very dashing doesn't he? The photographers for the day were a group of retired Ident guys- how much more reliable could you get? Can't believe I got caught with a smile on my face. With the parade finished, the group photos done..did someone say beer?
