Illustrative photoA forecast of heavy rain did not keep people away from Victory Square in Vancouver, where thousands gathered to pay their respects to Canada's war dead, the Vancouver Sun reported Nov. 11.
The service was the 102nd annual Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph there.
That makes it one of the longest-running observances in Vancouver: more than a century of yearly ceremonies at the same memorial, with this year's crowd braving the weather to take part.
Attendance, the Sun reported, ran to the thousands.
