A Remembrance Day to Remember

KINGSVILLE — The 2020 Remembrance Day services will go down as ones to remember due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but every Legion branch across the nation did their utmost to honour the fallen, despite the restrictions.

Here, the colour guard of the Kingsville Legion marches to the cenotaph prior to the November 11 ceremony.

Similar sights were seen in Leamington and Wheatley, with reduced crowds in person.

Residents were encouraged to observe the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month at home this year.

Despite that, between 50 and 60 people showed up in each locale and socially distanced as they watched the services from afar.

This year’s services made mention of the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Most wreaths were laid prior to the service to keep the crowds down.
