While Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the cost of war and to honour those who died, I think the Canadians have the rest of the world beat when it comes to honouring fallen servicemen/women.
What can be seen in the following videos isn't some orchestrated, 'grand event' that many governments use to bolster support for themselves or to their military ambitions but the actions of ordinary Canadians stopping along the route of a funeral procession to pay their respects to the dead.
