Royal Visit



Today, Prince Andrew paid a visit to Halifax. He is the Honorary Colonel for the Princess Louise Fusiliers. We were part of the parade that was held at the Halifax Armoury for him. It was a typical parade, with LOTS of rehearsal before hand, and then once it was actually time for the parade - we got all set and of course he was delayed for about 15 minutes... which turned into 20 or so. Very typical... makes me wonder why important people are always late?!?! Anyway, it was another experience to add to my list. It's weird, it doesn't even phase me anymore as to who will be at these events, whether it's the Governor General, Royalty, whoever... I just show up and play!
