they passed dlr ectly below us twice each time within feet of our gallery from b gallery which was the press box we were high enough to see into the vehicles but not too high to look down on the tops on the first time past it had begun raining while the military units were passing but before the royal part of the procession came along the sun broke through and we were able to get colored movies in less than an hour the parade started back past our stand again and turned at the monument wards the palace this time the rain again soaked everyone canadian troops including navy army and air force

but for days wedged uy so tightly that not a jot of pavement was isible among them with the rain coming down time after time some had slickers others n l some a newspaper which soon got soaked but
