Looks like some good old naval tradition will be on display tomorrow.
The old videos from 1959 with a very young looking Queen Elizabeth, and a
1979 film with the Queen mother are interesting. At the start of the 1979
version the observent can see the white building where I worked from 1971
till 1993.

Very nice, Don, impressive indeed. Will you be able to attend the
ceremony? With the music, flyover, etc, it should be a good show.

I can't understand why "...a vital symbol to the Canadian navy."
would also be used as mentioned later in the article: "When a ship
displayed her Queen’s Colour in battle it was a symbol of defeat."

Any idea why that was?
