    Just a couple weeks ago there was a huge memorial service at the Ridge for (90?) years since the famous battle.

    For those of you who caught it on CBC (or a network using the CBC feed) you may have noticed the Queen and Prince George stop and talk to a gentlemen along the row.

    He goes to the same church as I do.


    Aside from that, what are your takes on the service?

    Awsome. Wish I could have made it.

    Note: Wasn't George, it was Albert.
