I just got my first pair of glasses that I didn't think I needed. I apologize to anybody in the past year that I said their pictures were out of focus lol.

They look so young don't they?

This gentleman walked the entire parade route with two crutches. His uniform was immaculate.

That is because he is British. ( ;-)a )

That is a SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS cap badge

I wasn't sure because he was walking between two young girls, one of whom carried a British flag, and the other a Canadian flag. If you look at his medals, the one on the far right says Canada 1945, and the next one over refers to the King and India. He also has the elephant on his collar. I'm not sure what the other insignia on his collar is. I would have liked to have had the chance to chat with him, but he disappeared at the end of the parade.

Could very well (probably is) Canadian. There is the Scottish regiment of the Seaforth Highlanders and there was also the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.

Either way great to see Old Soldiers and pay them our respects.
