Inspecting the troops
The Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Canadian Regiment, Prince Philip, dropped into Toronto to present the 3rd Battalion with their Regimental Colours. A ceremonial flag that carries the battle honours of the Regiment. The old Colours had simply become too worn and damaged and needed replacement. Before the parade/ceremony the Prince arrived at Queens Park to witness a number of soldiering demonstrations, snipers, weapons, soldiers rapelling down buildings and a parachute jump were all part of the show - and that was before the ceremony. The 91-year Prince seemed to try and engage with as many of the soldiers as possible, easily switching between seriousness to a quick laugh/smile with the troops. In this capture he's noticed the unusual sights/scope on the carbine.
