Hundreds of people came to the cenotaph in Victoria Park to remember Sunday. Elderly veterans in wheelchairs and current members of the Canadian military gathered to remember fallen comrades. Veteran Norm Pallister was in the Signal Corps Second Canadian Armoured Brigade for four years. The tears in his eyes spoke to the devastation felt in World War II. "I don't know, I'm just a little emotional at the moment. We lost a few friends," said Pallister. The cenotaph was surrounded by wreaths and people paying tribute to those who served in the war. Flanders Fields was read by Mary Anne Silverthorne, who was honoured. "It's very emotional because I have the opportunity to stand and face the crowd and just see how many hundred of people are actually here," said Silverthorne, "For those of us that are younger and were never really actively involved in the war, it's just such an honour to pay our tribute to those who dedicated their life for our country and to still be able to pay our respect to those that are living and attending." The ceremony saw members of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets as well as past and present members of the Canadian Forces.
