The Soldiers Came Marching In

Yesterday afternoon we took in a special event at the Hotel Mac Donald. It was one of their events for their 100th Anniversary.
They had some antique cars, people in period costumes, an archive room and members of The Lord Strathconas Horse Royal Canadians. They are a regular armoured regiment of the Canadian Army.
These two were in there dress uniforms and were on the way to the main doors of the hotel to stand guard. It was a fun event topped off by a nice lunch on the patio
