Discussing the finer points
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. The Battalion, normally garrisoned near Pembroke Ontario, travelled down to Toronto for the occassion. 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 discusses the setup of a machine gun with the Battalion's Sergeant-Major as the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and The Battalion's Commanding Officer look on.
